So you just bought TID

[mugzy]

No mods.. That is all..

Haha ....well that would not be a good direction for us. The current moderators and admins do an excellent job here. This team of moderators is a group of veterans with many years on the forums and as we grow I understand we cannot manage and moderate the same way we always did. There are many, many forums that have collapsed or disappeared over the years because they did not monitor, develop and adjust and to current situations. Moderators of yesteryear would tend to develop a sense of power and get out of control however this can only happen if the administrator is the same way. There are too many forums to chose from to be condescending to members or ban people for little things. I think our team is very objective and have adjusted well for the times I know I have. Well.... maybe not LK

As an example of what I just said I think moving forward as we do add new moderators its important for them to have a skill and they will moderate the forum they are skilled in rather than be a general moderator. The role of a moderator is to help others first as well as a list of many things. This will give a moderator some ownership of their forum and ensure good, experienced information is shared.

Ok..... enough of this I'm going to lunch.

If there's no moderation or if there is corrupt moderation, it's just a matter of time before a board is ruined by as little as one or 2 lifeless, jobless, disturbed, basement dwelling sociopaths who will literally spend their entire waking lives attacking normal people and otherwise ruining the board in ways we normal people cannot even imagine. In the end, a board is only as good as its ownership and management make it and allow it to be.

MESO does fine without mods. Pretty civil unless you're a bad src.

Mugzy, you guys rock. I am always impressed with the light touch of the TID moderators and how nice they are to the members and especially newbies. I think that light touch sets the tone for the great atmosphere we have on here. At the same time, they don't put up with BS for a second, which is perfect.

 

[texas boy]

I like it like it is. Newer here but already able to soak up a ton of new school knowledge.

 

[monsoon]

Two questions;
1. There are mods here?
2. TID is for sale?

 

[Rottenrogue]

Monsoon don't make me show you what mods do !

 

[monsoon]

I am the worst mod ever. What does mod even mean?
