I think what is horseshit is your perception that just because there are rules of some sort clearly established and spelled out for all to read would result in the mods being hated.

No 420, that I can say is true. I was fairly liked over on OA.com. Well, as far as I know since no one ever has the balls to really tell you what they think of you in person.

When I became a mod though and actually did my "job" unlike some of the others there who will remain nameless, I caught shit for it by the members.
Why, because I actually gave a shit and enforced the rules? Sorry I fucking care.

All I'm saying is as soon as a mod does something the masses don't like, whether the rules are stated or not, they turn on you and call you shit like Nazi.

those who would resort to such name calling should be told simply, like FTL has, "like it or leave it."

or, even better/more appropriately..."walk it off deek."

Ultimately, as mods, you have to have the thickest skin of them all.

So Flock, you may be right (and never being a mod, it would be foolish of me to insist that I was wholly right myself....) but I must point out that the fear of being hated or called names should not excuse any mod for addressing message board issues without some semblance of cooth and tact.

but hey - I've said I before....I don't envy the position of being a mod/admin. No way.



ugh...my head hurts.
