    Mods are picked by the admins of the site. If an existing forum or new forum needs a mod they look at who are good contributors to the area of interest, if they have a level head and a good posting history then it might just happen. If a forum needs a new mod or an old mod is stepping down then the other mod/s can make suggestions to the admins but again the final decission is down to them.

    Are you referring to boards in general or asking who the mods of the noc forum are?

    From the definition in FAQ...
    Moderators oversee specific forums. They generally have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other manipulations. Becoming a moderator for a specific forum is usually rewarded to users who are particularly helpful and knowledgeable in the subject of the forum they are moderating.

    Personally I think it's common sense for this not to be in the Nocturnal forum. Sending feedback ways as I think it's a loaded q.

    What does it take to be a mod? Patience, free time, some form of numbing addiction such as alcoholism helps.

    Common sense, a level head, and an interest in the progression of a forum, whether it's by stimulating conversation on a new forum, or keeping a well run forum going.

    Just making it easier for folk of all post counts to post :)

    If you have an issue with a mod action then you start by pming them and thier co mods in that forum.
    IF you are still not happy then contact the catagory moderator, if the issues can not be resolved then start a thread in the help desk to have the matter looked into by the smods/admins.

    There is a chain of command and a process by which mod actions are reviewed.

    Mods do not get paid we give of our time to help contribute to a community we are part of.

    What is a troll ?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
    An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion

    Hrrrmm what does it take to make a good mod?

    Someone who cares about their forum.
    Someone who cares about the well being of the posters on the forum they moderate.
    Someone who is diplomatic enough to see sense and take appropriate action.
    Someone who is levelheaded enough not to abuse the above characteristic.
    Someone then to tell people like the OP that what is understood doesn't need to be discussed.

    ... wait, how the hell did i get this gig in the first place then?! :rolleyes:
    Bottom line, you got canned from adverts because you didn't read the rules, you'll know better for next time, but in the meantime you're making no friends this way. Just some food for thought. ;)

    Here is a fine example on another of your trolling posts. In this case you said this in an attempt to upset a polish guy who made a post just before you.

    Not everyone needs a reward to justify certain things they do - some people just enjoy contributing in that capacity and if they're really interested in a forum, are happy to have a hand in the running of it.
    and whats to stop it becoming one
    Reprimand from co-mods/category mods/site mods/admins. Oh and whingeing from a small but vocal minority of members. ;)

    Oh no, it was an observation in accordance with your style... not an unprovoked attack.
    so please one of you try moderate your mod god because my posts ,if he cared to follow them were all on topic ,the topic was about a ban, the ban was handed out my a mod to a guy for off thread trading.My posts were all about modsand asking what was this off thread trading. which actually lead me to starting this post and in fairness just because someones a mod does not mean that we can not have fun on a thread or must we all follow the mods line..or maybe it means that because they can just ban us on give us point as they see fit.they might like to use that power
    Oh so you wanted to air a grievance. Why didn't you say so from the start instead of disguising it as a general query about moderators?
    The gist I personally get is you were questioning a moderating decision on-thread - threads aren't the place for that, private messaging is.
    Mods are there to draw attention to the rules which exist in the first place (i.e. the mods didn't make them up) - if what you mean by "have fun" is to break those rules, well a mod reprimanding you is perfectly reasonable, no?
    And maybe they do so because it's simply what they're expected to do (as mods) rather than simply wanting to use the "power"?
    Honestly, mods aren't out to get you. If people just abided by the charter rules, they'd hardly notice the mods were there at all.

    Totally off topic but I have to ask,was albert-bundy even warned for this comment.People get banned for calling other posters a clown but a racially inflammatory comment like this,aimed at 2 different ethnic groups (appears) to get away scot free.:eek:

    If this is about an issue the op has with adverts mods why is it the boards feedback forum? Should this not be in the adverts support forum or somewhere like that? Boards mods and adverts mods are not the same thing, adverts mods have no powers on boards at all unless they also happen to mod specific forums here, but even then they are still seperate from their position as adverts mods

    Referring to mods as mod-gods, is not helping your case. It makes you look even more trollish. You also don't appear to be questioning the ethics of any particular mod, you're just firing off loaded question that are intended to provoke negative or defensive responses. Again, very toll like behavior.

    Whether you like it or not, you are a troll, but given the lack of fiery or argumentative responses, I'd have to agree with muffler's opinion, that you are not a very good one.

    I don't think it's sly at all I think it's pretty obvious what I'm saying.

    CAn I just assume a couple of other things?

    I'll assume you broke the rules
    I'll assume someone pulled you up on it
    I'll assume you felt like your rights were being oppressed (I'm guessing here you saw someone else do something similar to what you were pulled up on and you didn't see them get punished)
    I'll assume you fought your corner and
    I'll assume you got banned - site banned.
    I'll also assume that you re-regged and generally kept your nose clean, but couldn't give up on your grudge against the mods, and started having little jabs at them at any opportunity. sly jabs, you might say.
    I'll finally assume that you didn't get the reaction you wanted and thought it'd be funny to start a mod-bashing thread in here, in much the same way as the "rebel" in first year thought it was deadly to stick his two fingers up at the teacher when the teachers back was turned.

    If you have a gripe, and you obviously do, then why not just come out with it? The only reason I can possibly think of why you'd not just come out with it is that you know you don't have a case. So instead, this.

    Go on - marks out of ten for that. 1? 2?

    Being a mod clearly requires an immeasurable amount of patience.

    I - lacking patience - would've banned your ass for trolling, and generally being an irritation 30 posts ago. This is why i am not a mod.

    I'm impressed they're humouring you for so long. No matter how eloquently you try to phrase/hide it, this whole thread is just your whiney little soap-box.

    You dont have to like or appreciate the administration around here. You also dont have to stay. Feel free to protest the supposed idiocy of the mods by permanently deleting your account.

    Wow, that's a really original comment that doesn't get trotted out every few seconds on Feedback/Help Desk! ;)
    Get this: there are moderators that cannot STAND each other. But yes, they are all united on one thing - they know what it's like to put up with sh1t from people who have a chip on their shoulder in relation to/are obsessed with moderators.
    and as regard to my integrity i think thats a pretty sly comment
    He only said certain stuff you posted and the manner in which you posted it was causing him to question your integrity - he's entitled to surely, no?
    imagine if i was a moderator ;) i would have to strongly advise you to refrain from assuming things about me
    But he's not assuming anything about you - just speculating, based on what YOU have posted.
    And you can only act as a moderator in the forums which you moderate, so here, he is a member like you (look at the forums he moderates - you will not see Feedback there).
    albert-bundy wrote: »

    What Jor El means by "loaded questions to provoke a negative/defensive response" is: there is more to what you're posting than meets the eye - i.e. you've an agenda to have a go at mods. And you do, don't you? Based on a gripe? It's pretty obvious.
    ..are my questions so bad so negative or are they striking a cord close to home
    The former - there's nothing "close to home" or "striking a chord" about them. That's just one of the usual assumptions by people who have never moderated. I used to sometimes make assumptions like that before I moderated (although I wasn't as OTT paranoid as some people are). There probably is a minority of moderators who take liberties, as is the case in any large group, but they do so because they're opportunistic assholes, not moderators. Perhaps don't tar all moderators with the same brush.
    i am the one thats getting very vailed but relative nasty comments .
    Just because you're being justifiably suspected of trying to have a go at mods/stir up sh1t in a roundabout way, doesn't mean the comments in relation to same are "nasty".
    Stuff isn't nasty just because you don't like reading it. ;)

    maybe they should have mod school ;) and lighten up this is open chat it does not mean i have a bad agenda or as you call it am mod bashing ..and your remarks about the rebel in the classroom are really quite strange

    I spent over 40 seconds looking at some of your previous posts and all I see is the same troll here tonight again but with a bigger post count. Thats the only difference.

    When your words carry the strength so that the editorial buttons don't need to be used.

    If you have an issue with a mod action then you start by pming them and thier co mods in that forum.

    Pop Quiz ^___^

    You have just been temp banned from a forum for not reading the charter and posting something that everyone in the forum is so sick of you didn't even get a warning. You PM the mod of the forum. Which one should you use to ensure that the ban would be rescinded or temp at best?

    (a) "Hey fuktard! Your the biggest fuktard from fuktard village on top of fuktard mountain. I have freedom of speech you Nazi! You can't ban me!!!!"

    (b) "Hi, sorry I should of read the forum charter. As it was my first post can I come back? I will behave. Thanks."

    This quiz is actually quite hard (based on temp bans I've given).

    Well that's easy Hobbes. Obviously it's the first one. Didn't you read it? (S)he said: "I have freedom of speech, you can't ban me!"

    Like, duh...

    I'm not seeing the purpose here. You're not even trying to get anything repealed, you're just troll-baiting and twisting posts around with your winks and giggles.

    I mean c'mon, a petition to release Brian, at least. After Hours is a chat forum. Feedback is for feedback. If you have a suggestion, make it here, and make it plain. If you have a problem, there is the Help Desk.
