What does being a moderator give you in terms of special powers?

* Can you see the IP address of posters and identify sock puppets?

No.
Please note that the answers I gave above are just the defaults. They can be changed if people believe that SaltySpitoon shouldn't have certain powers.

I hope theymos has enough brains to never turn IP reading for this salty person, I don't care how many posts were reported by this person. I am still very skeptical about salty with past events he/she/shemale clearly stated.

Shemale, and no, I don't get to see IPs. I just deal with general alt currency disputes, and hand anything major over to the global mods. I'm basically just a donator with a Staff title, that sees reports filed in the Alt Currency section and fixes minor disputes.

When I say whine I mean about what you’re doing as a mod. We needed to know HTML to understand how to move, merge, add, and delete text, graphics, and links. We were required to help with technical problems, site access problems and posting problems. We had to relocate discussions to appropriate sections, write ban recommendations for the admin, close or lock threads based on interest or lack of activity, read everything whether you were interested or not, edit post content, delete threads, constantly worry about someone reporting your decisions, defend your actions all the time and for NO pay. Oh, we were mostly invisible too. At least the mods here get to contribute in the discussion. Does that sound like a good job to you? I wouldn’t do it again for $20 an hour.

This forum is nothing like that. That sounds like a terrible forum for both the moderators and the posters.

Very true, you have no idea what a breath of fresh air this forum is.

Many forums are started solely for profit and developed around a phenomena or product line. The forum gives customers an outlet to discuss the topic, product or range of products. Advertizing and donations from wealthy benefactors brings in the money and supports a few at the top (sometimes only the Owner & Administrator) and pays the bills. Our business development officer used to suggest deletion of threads at the request of a sponsor! Zest for the topic or product (guns, computer parts or whatever) tends to get volunteers to “help out” or the admin will sometimes recruit from the ranks. Pretty soon you begin to realize you're just working a part time job so someone else can eat - but I’m not bitter. Grin

You do realize Mods are nothing but unpaid employees with a really shitty job, right?

well, I rather enjoy the job. I just read over the threads that I would read over either way, and sort out minor discrepancies.

Volunteers. And that's pure conjecture, assuming you can't provide factual evidence.

I was a forum mod for almost a year (not here). Listening to people whine was such a terrible job and took so much of my time that I started to forget why I came to that forum to begin with.

I think it has a lot to do with wanting to improve the quality of the forum. Most people here already listen to people whine, so why not be able to do something about it?

No, you can't report posts. If you could, you would've clicked the correct link to report them instead of pasting the URLs in this thread.

Define how you helped the forum?

He reported a lot of posts accurately, which is why I asked him to moderate some sections. He's proven to be an extremely effective moderator. I certainly appreciate his help.

Not that it matters given you already told me "no" to my request...but while we are talking about "reporting posts accurately" and "being an effective moderator" I thought you might consider the following links and could help me determine if these posts were reported by Psy as well:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.447496
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.464210
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.465284
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.465008
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.541636

And more recently...

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1313566
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/why-is-psy-a-staff-member-96781
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1242333
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1224217
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1283463

The last link there I kind of agree with Psy on, but it isn't something I would expect a moderator to be engaging in nor saying on this forum.

Quite a lot of excessive cursing and name calling as well don't you think coming from someone who is an "effective moderator"?

Just saying...

You're the boss around here and thought you might want to know.

See I can report posts too.

I would vote against smoothie at all costs. one of the most offensive people here, and would be an absolute shithead as a mod.

SaltySpitoon sounds like I much better candidate.

Psy was/is a mod. How am I any different? Cheesy

Are you suggesting psy is unfit as a mod? Cheesy

Being a mod is probably proof of being unfit to be one.

Psy is different in that he's using his intelligence to be offensive. There's a little more to him than being a self-serving troll.

Oh i see. So if I troll people intelligently (not like I haven't been), then I'm fit to be a MOD?? ? ? ? ?

ROFL!! Cheesy

No. That would maybe help. But tell me... what have you done to help the forum besides trolling intelligently?
Probably not much more than a regular troll.

Define how you helped the forum?

All I remember is in the fall of 2011 you trolling this subforum to hell for Soiledcoin, and all for what?

Not sure how we are any different.
