What are you gonna do about it? Ban me?

I'm not wrong though. Ye even have everything sub-catagorized so as to have as many mods as possible. Ye even have games as a sub-forum of games and the same with soccer. I've never seen so many threads moved on a board. So what if someone puts something in HE Do It Yourself instead of Building & Upgrading, sometimes it might be relevant to both.
Seriously mods, don't take it too seriously, its not like ye get paid for it or anything. The only possible motivation must be the feeling of power, which you don't feel unless your moving/ deleting/ banning!!

Most of the forums on Boards are over modded, that's common knowledge. The site has grown very popular in recent years and more and more people are eager to help out. Unfortunately power doesn't sit as well with some as with others.

With regards that particular sig, I personally have never found it funny but that's just because it's one of those over used "funny" internet phrases like O Rly and Atari Jaguar etc.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Give that man/woman a prize

pfft, amateur! You forgot locking and placing stickies in your tirade

Most of the sub-categories are there for a reason and for the most part they work out and have been requested/supported by the userbase

Yep, some mods are a bit OTT but there are also some excellent mods out there whom you almost forget are mods until they are needed.

Seriously, go away like

Most mods do what they do because they have a bit of 'love' for Boards and want to contribute to its smooth running.

So are saying there are too many mods? There can be but seeing as there is a real life outside of the internet they are not all on at the same time.

Look at the amount of threads where people complain that a mod isnt getting abck to them.

Oh and Boston ..... dont worry, you'll be a mod one day

Tar.Aldarion

Seems to be too strict, not my site though.
So many sigs are potentially offensive, just guess you were unlucky there Endo.

I completely agree. It should never be treated like a job.

I disagree, there are other motivations like helping the community by keeping forums clear of spam etc. You'd be suprised how little moving/deleting/banning most of us do.

I believe it's a case of "been there. done that".

No, f2b, that's your opinion.

rediguana

It's funny and not so outrageous. The signature, I mean.

ps. Just to clarify, my signature in no way implies that non-tortoise animals lack initiative.

DaBreno

Do they have reserved parking for non-handicapped people at the special olympics?

RuggieBear

nope...only for foreigners and homosexuals

True. Boards has grown into quite a massive place, I think "most" was a poor choice of words on my part.

6th

I'm a mod in my house .... I had to ban my kid the other day.

Anti

And it all came from This one pic.

Dont click it if your offended by Enduranceman's old sig though.


I thought it was funny myself, But I dont think I would if someone close was in fact " retarded "

Boston

tbh the signature is neither hilarious nor entertaining. Mainly because I'm a jaded interweb users.

I notice no one has been along to claim responsibility for removing the sig, or did I miss a post?

RuggieBear

The post was deemed offensive and was removed!!

Stark

So I see.

I think the passive voice should be stripped of its smod status immediately.

Gordon

I'm pretty sure it was I that removed it. If an Admin is fine with it then that's their call. It seemed pretty offensive to me.

Reminds me of that bit in South Park:

Jimmy: "Mom, if there is a God, why did he make me crippled?"
Jimmy's mom: "We told you honey. God is punishing us for making fun of disabled kids when we were in school".

So it's bascially personal judgement.

As an aside, I think 6th is daring you to ban him.

Now that is offensive.

Making grunting noises to impersonate a person who was born with an extra chromosome is just not funny.

Well we have to use personal judgement to determine whether or not something is offensive to others as stipulated by the sigrules yeah. Whether or not that judgement is correct is determined by the users and the admins.

I wouldn't know about that dare there as I didn't click the link

6th

No dare intended, I did ask people not to click it if they were offended by the sig.

Now I'm off to ask for access to the lollers forum.

Rabies

ha.... best joke yet.
