    I suspect After Hours requires more attention, modding and fecking
    about with tossers than anywhere else on Boards.
    (Apart from the Radio Forum when Joe Duffy is on).


    So whats it like ? Be honest in your answers -

    Poll added in post so only the Mods can answer it - clever eh ;)

    What makes the hardest working Mods do what they do ?

    1 - Great fun, laugh a minute, its why I do it :D

    2 - Its ok, but I just do it because I enjoy reading shíte :)

    3 - It keeps me away from The Cuckoo's Nest :pac:

    4 - i just do it for the Christmas Card with the €10 in it :(

    5 - I'm actually a criminal phsychologist with the Gardaí :eek:

    6 - My life is enriched from the things I learn on AH :confused:

    8 - Being a mod in AH is a stepping stone for promotion to the politics forum >>>

    9 - Keeps my mind sharp enough to notice there was no question 7 in this poll :p

    10 - I wanna figure out what this Atari Jaguar lark is about, once and for all :o


    Come on, everyone wants to know what makes you thick -
    Well I do anyway.

    But I'm IBTL if you're that way inclined.

    K-9, the best cream always rises straight to the top. No need for you to pass through AH on the way there. ;)


    Brownie points for me over in politics for a while after that !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭cocoshovel


    They're just normal users pretty much except when they see something amiss or a post breaking the rules they do something about it. Its not like they're high and mightly emporers or anything. People get too obsessed with mods tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    No
    I answered "yes".
    Although I'm not sure what the question is.
    Ah well... I had my fun, and that's all that matters.

    Id rather eat my own face.

    Sometimes modding AH is like working in a special needs home but with 5000 patients.

    You forgot option 11 - Im a control freak on a power trip. Modding AH is like shooting fish in a really big barrel of really big fish with a machine gun and laser targetting.

    That sounds cool, I wanna be a mod now.

    sure they do.... they are known as squirters.... i'd post a video of one but the mods would likely remove it and ban me

    You do know they don't actually have to 'squirt' to cum yeah?

    Anyway, yeah that would be hilarious in a thread for mods!
    You should do it ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭Scioch


    I'll hazard a guess here and say for most mods its a mixture of having way too much free time on their hands and some childish dream of being an internet cop. Probably from their days of running their own popular IRC chat rooms. They have tasted power and it was oh so sweet.

    Then again some of them seem like odd robotic fcukers who have a penchant for civility and reasonable discourse. We all know those are the ones who let rip in private and do all sorts of weird and psychotic shít.

    AH's mods are just the delegated drivers charged with keeping their drunken gang from wreckin the place. They act like they dont want to do it and would rather be drunk and causing mischeif like the rest but secretly they love feeling like an alpha male for the evening because lets face it in every day life your a bit of a joke. :D

    The hardest working mods are the ones who are not sheep.

    Modding by groupthink is easily the way to mod with the least amount of effort.

    What makes the hardest working Mods do what they do ?

    Thanks a bunch for that. We've been getting away with giving them a tenth of the coke and hookers that the other mods get because we keep telling them AH is all a bit of a lark and it's not really work. Not like the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy forum, for instance, where the stress of not knowing if there'll be a post this month is causing me sleepless nights and an increasing alcohol dependency. They're now going to cop on that we've been taking advantage of their simple and pleasant natures and have actually been working them to the bone. They'll probably demand a huge increase now, and most likely back-pay too, and quite frankly we just don't have it. Gordon "appropriated" the spare coke and hookers for some scheme he said would make all the admins rich (still waiting on that one, I suspect he may not have been entirely honest with us).

    Anyway, we may as well just close AH now because I doubt they'll stand for these working conditions for much longer. I hope you're happy that you've just ruined things for everyone, but I'm sure in time they'll forgive you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    back pay you say?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,520 ✭✭✭✭kowloon

    Not if I have anything to do with it.

    I am not sure. If you've recently or regularly been banned all mods are bastards. If not you're largely apathetic. If, however, you are a mod it's best to be an apathetic bastard.

    Poll results thus far - 72.73% yes and 54.55% no ..

    If having a poll that doesn't have a question wasn't awesome enough, try making the results have a combined 127.28% . None of this 100% pussy sh*t!

    Works 60% of the time ... Everytime...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Nothingbetter2d

    she can have me any time she likes.... she has lots of rohypnol in reserve :D

    I'd love to be a mod for a day.
    It's my birthday the end of October there, is there anything that could be done about that? :)
    Also can we put this issue to bed and give it a dodo once and for all. Do mods really get paid or not:confused::confused::confused:
    I'm leaning with not...

    Also there hasn't been an AH beers in a very long time. I'd like to get my paws on one or two of you:D:p
    We could all do coke and then back to mine for an after party. :)

    modding could be a job bridge internship.
    it would give us unemployed something to do and an extra few euro.
