What would you do as a moderator?

[Captain Schpack]

What would you do if given the power to mod?

Who would you ban (NOTE: no names or flames), what would you try to outlaw?

Tell a story of your would-be adventures as a mod.

 

[Xette]

Hmm.. I'm new here so I would just moderate for a day and then get bored and hand it over to someone else

 

[DuplicateValue]

I'd probably just do my job properly.

Though I'd be a little less strict where minor flaming is concerned.

Also, I'd probably perma-ban anyone who makes a zombie thread.

 

[Sneaklemming]

I would probably be a light touch at first. But as time went on, and I saw the same people pop up time and time again; I'd probably become more harsh.

 

[WrongSprite]

I'd cut down on any offensive posts I do now, and probably keep a little spreadsheet where I note repeat offenders and such. I reckon I'd be fair.

 

[Snork Maiden]

Ban that guy Furburt.

He's a liability to this site.

 

[MrMisfit]

Abuse my power like I do with any power I happen to aquire.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Strike fear into everyone! Muhahahah!

Or basically just do my job moderating.

 

[TimeLord]

Ban that guy Furburt.

He's a liability to this site.

I believe the OP said no naming, we don't want to get into an argument over Furburt's awesomeness

OT: I would restrict ZP videos from being able to be posted on for 20min after they are uploaded

The same thing i do every night Pinky....
Try to take over the world.

I tend to think that no moderator should ever change their posting style, on the whole. If the community runners deemed you good enough to become a moderator despite any possible blackmarks then its all cool. Moderators should be chosen because they contribute well enough that they push the community along in a positive direction in any case, and can do so even better with mod status - requesting that they cut out some habits (like being offensive) seems kind of counterproductive to this.

Perma-ban all other mods and make myself super-mod, then appoint people I know as mods to monitor and perma-ban anyone who tries to resist

But thats a good way to flush out idiots!

 

[Souplex]

I would preserve the order of the Escapist. After all, mods are like Duper Heroes; they don't exist to radically change everything, they fight for the status quo.

 

[revolverwolf]

What would you do if given the power to mod? Create the bansword, now with twice the power of the banhammer.

Who would you ban (NOTE: no names or flames), what would you try to outlaw? I'd keep everything fairly similar to the layout now. The person I would ban knows who he is... (Read as: Everyone is banned, fun is outlawed.)

Tell a story of your would-be adventures as a mod. No. But I will say that it's epic. I end up fighting my arch nemesis, Pistoldog, on a mountainside during a storm.

DEUS EX MACHINA

Seriously I would keep a watchful eye on valve fans and pc elitist's (that is, people who are both).

 

[Ninjamedic]

I'd probably perma-ban anyone who makes a zombie thread.

You are now my sworn enemy!! Nah Im joking.

 

[Xojins]

I'd probably do what I do now... read threads, post occasionally, and tell people to shut up when appropriate.

WoooYay dictatorship
