Why do people hate moderators?
[QUOTE=CM]However the mods here are very fair and just. Never seen a better set of mods or in general speaking of SYM a set of moralistic and good natured humans. Kudos to you all, i like you [/QUOTE]

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

I don't hate moderators - HERE. Actually, I like them, they're nice and even gave me answers for my technical questions They're patient and helpful, and when they really "moderate" they do it politely, so the one breaking the rule doesn't feel like a criminal who has just finished off his whole family.
But on another forum I was "moderated" by a stupid little girl who just didn't know her limits.
The thing was, I started a thread and discussed a matter with some people(obviously ). We agreed finally, and the discussion simply ended. Recognizing this, I said "OK, seems the discussion is over, we can close the thread Where's a moderator when you need one? " (I put the smilies in there, just like now.
And there she came (both in PM and right there on the thread), ripping my head off, saying how on earth do I dare giving orders to her, when she's a moderator and I'm just a simple memeber. Huh. Never visited that forum again

If it's any consolation Xan, I can tell you I hated you long before you were a Moderator. So no need to regret becoming a Mod!

Note....
If Weasel were to ever become a mod, I may reconsider my stance. Maybe
And for the love of God, no one else spam my inbox asking why I don't like Weasel. You will only be saddened to know I simply like the badgering back and forth [/QUOTE]
If I were ever to lose my mind and become a mod...(which is not going to happen, my mind is beyond the threshold of going mad. )... I would change my stance as well. Please spam BS's inbox asking him why he hates me. LMAO

[QUOTE=Sytze]I think Xandax is the kind of guy who thrills on having mod powers. [/QUOTE]
Well ... yeah. That is why I've secretly set up a board for myself, so I can assign myself as much "mod power" as possible
[QUOTE=Weasel]You plan on living a long life or something?? [/QUOTE]
It is relative. I plan on living longer then if I simply opened up anything I got withouth putting it through the furnace first. Strange enough though - it dosen't seem as if I get much mail anymore

hmmm... why people hate Moderators... HATE is such a strong word to be used to lightly... "dislike with a strong passion" is more like it. but i'm not saying i dislike them or anything (hatred/disliking is truly pointless) but... oh nevermind

I don't think anybody here really hates moderators.
Of course I can only speak for my self. But I think most mods here do a great job. It is not so easy to be moderator. What ever you do there are always some who agree and some who disagree with your decisions.
But on the other hand I also think that being moderator you must be aware that you have both rigths and responsibility. Because you have the right to close an topic or correct people doesn't necessarily mean you have to do it only because you can. But it is my opinion that most mods are aware of that and do a good job

i've started from page three, so apologies if my comments have already been made.
ok. the reason we all hate mod's is because they smell of poopie
I sure hope these mods are friendly ppl who can take a joke
I think the REAL reason some people dislike mods is not because they don't do their jobs, but because they DO, do their jobs. It is a basic human instict to be against those with more power than us.
But i don't hat you wondeful wonderful wonderful people.

Mag: Don't remember much at all of last night do you?
Me: put simply.... No
Mag: From what I put together of your late night drunken ramblings? Vodka, 3 girls, and then we played tic-tac-toe and slapped each other around.
