I have been visiting forums for a while and moderating is like the keel of a boat. A fine line keeps it afloat a little tip to either side can sink it pretty quick !

 

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

Are there many other active moderators?
Seems like a big task for just one guy.

I am not a big forum guy at all. I don’t post much , just come here to listen and learn. My reason for being here is to help understand saw performance and I have really come to appreciate the professionalism of several of the saw builders. Trying to keep everyone happy is a losing proposition, staying true to yourself is the only way to go. I had to opportunity to attend a few GTGs at Tree Monkeys place a few years ago. A great time and a real eye opener as to the amount of engineering that goes into these performance saws. Highly encourage to attend GTG when possible. Randy Please know that your contributions and professionalism are greatly appreciated by “little guys” like me.

do they have any of those "Indian tent sweat lodge" events in the winter ?
Sounds like one needs to find you.
best of luck buddy, we all have these kinda days. Keeping it to "days" and not letting them turn to "weeks" is the tough part.

With 9K members, this place should have at least 10 mods minimum IMHO. I only see 3 here and 2 that are here most times.

Site owners should get a few more to take the slack off your back Randy.

 

[Spladle160]

Site owners? wait, are moderators paid? I thought you guys were all volunteer. Not that it really matters, you do good work and it's appreciated.

 

[Mastermind]

are moderators paid

No.

I do get a certain satisfaction in slaying spammers though.

 

[Spladle160]

I get on when I want, read what I want and leave if things are obnoxious. I can't imagine having to be around for no compensation, It's a very kind public service and a nice way to help others but I can empathize with the frustration that it has to come with.

 

[USMC615]

Dallas for Moderator...this joint will go from just over 9K, to about a bakers’ dozen in 48 hrs! Easy, peasy...the less to herd the better!

If I was made a mod,
I would ignore all of the important, not fun tasks.
I would instigate, bait and bully others to provoke them just so I could swing the hammer.
I would change censorship rules and encourage chaos.
I would let the power go to my head.
I would use my status for personal gain. Extortion would be part of my daily rounds.





Well, that’s my campaign, let me know.

That sounds exactly like the situation on a certain fishing forum that I used to be a member of.

I can relate Randy, I use to admin a brand specific motorcycle forum here in Aus. I used to think teenage girls were *b-wordy, but admining a forum soon make you realise they are just amateurs. It's hard to just walk away when you have skin in the game so to speak, but sometime your health, both physical and mental, need it. I'm not saying you aren't the right guy for the job because from what I've seen you are a pretty good cat wrangler, but if you feel it's what you need maybe just take a break and catch up on some sleep and work for a bit and come back recharged.

Well in that case this sounds about right for a plumber.

I fail to see any disqualifying points.

Well.

We now have four full fledged moderators. The two men who were just approving posts in certain areas are now able to edit, delete, warn, ban, etc....

Plus we've added one more.

I'm gonna try to step back from being so involved, and let these three guys take care of a bit of the day to day operation.

None of them have unlimited time, but every little bit helps.

I don't have any complaints about how things are done here. But, I can see how some of the shenanigans can get old.

When I need to take my mind off of something for a little while, I go to Hooters.
