And as for the pseudo-mod stance people were taking, perhaps they take it because they feel the mods are not doing their job? Is this true? No offence to the current mods, just idle speculation about the motivation of wannabe-mods.

quote: Everybody on here knows that the Moderators of Gen. Con. do their "jobs" with great skill and are fast on action. Heck, I was policing the RPG forum so tightly and strictly that I was told to loosen up and let a few things slip! Can you believe that? Anyway...I have a theory or two about the mini-mod factor. 1. It institutes a reason to post. 2. It gives the appearance of being supportive to the Administration. 3. Spam in disguise. 4. Wants to have authority. 5. Likes telling people where to go and what to do. 6. The "pack of dogs" factor. (Ever see one little dog, who is afraid of everything...but when that dog joins the neighborhood dogs and they team up in a pack, even domestic, cowardly dogs get extremely aggresive.)

quote: NO, these tend to be young folk who seem to feel they need to 'lord it over' their peers.. which I believe is all well and good, but as Ziroc pointed out at one time, they are not sanctioned to do so by him and he is the webmaster. So no 'moderator' title, no acting as if you are one. Simple, really. [img]smile.gif[/img] FWIW, I have not hear that complaint here at IW. Z chose well and on GD, Sazerac, Memnoch and Ertai do their jobs beyond adequately, thank you very much. They cover alot of threads and do it well! Cloudy

quote: Hi, Moni! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] Yes, I finished Wiz 8 over the holidays while the forum was down. I check there pretty often, but it seems everything is running well. I've started a new game (finally!) so I'll probably be a bit more vocal there forthcoming. Cheers,

Sitting back and complaining doesn't get anything done you know. Trust me I know. I'm going to stop here before I give myself a headache, and I meant no offense. Okay Neb?

Hiya,
Hmm, someone mentioned that new members tend to act up a bit, but to be honest, I've seen this more with people who have been around for a while. This is both on and off the forum though, the way I've seen some people act is pretty strange, though I know we all have our moments at times. Scronan
