Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
I think Ditzy.
She seems to be around alot of the time and she also sends shouts to say keep up the great work and all that jazz :D
OK Ditzy is one step nearer a million - it’s funny until Sophie posted that I didnt realise who were and werent moderators on this site.
lol yeah, well apparently there are loads of mods, I only know of a handfull and that is a little bizarre as I am here near enough 24/7 so you would think I would know them all… maybe some are part time O_o
If I know any moderators here, I don’t know they are moderators. How does one know?
Well so far I’ve got Ditsy, Cookies and Cream and Ken - thats the ones I’ve met
Thanks Lazy!! :) Now I’ll go looking for stars I never noticed before… :D
Then there is Anthraz, sully, candp, k, papa bear and mitzy…
I may think of more
Actually cattail has a good point - maybe the mods are locked up in that Ivory Tower too much - they should come out and socialise with us peasants more often. How many of them are there?
So
Cookies and Cream
Ken
Ditzy
Anthrax
Sully
Candp
K
Papa Bear
Mitzy
I don’t know, maybe you should make that your next post, get all the mods to come and edit their name into a list, or users to edit what mods they know into the list.
Well Anthrax is on that other site that Sophie posted and he sounds pretty fed up. Part of the problem here might be that most people dont even realise that the mods are real people and are working for free. Yeah there would be a lot of good reasons to let people know that they are working behind the scenes to keep some order - and doing it for nothing as well.
that’s a really good idea mas1s. we wouldn’t be here without the mods.
So why dont we ask the Mods to post a post. Let them tell us what being a Mod is really like and how we can help them or even how we hinder them.
brilliant. let’s do it!
Ditzie has been the MOST proactive mod since I’ve been on this site. Cookies and Cream comes in a very tight second. So close as a matter of fact it’s impossible for me to choose :) love em both :)

My computer going really slow and now I’ve got an e-mail from Help telling me someone has set up a new account at my e-mail address. I’m off to check this out but why dont you all think of an appropriate name for the new post. Alternatively we could just set up a ‘Thanks for being our Mods’ post and everyone can send sparkly messages and the like. Like a great big thank you card. We could start with that - then ask them if they would have a little bit of a forum explaining their job and the good and bad bits
‘hey mods, check this out! is catchy…i’m a fan of bluntness haha
Kay K what’s your opinion here. As you can see we are practically illiterate when it comes down to what mods do and how difficult/easy it is for them. Until Sophie asked I never gave it much thought. Seems like we’d all like to know some more about you and how it works.
Well, I’m not going to say that the job is easy nor hard. I mean, A typical day is just going through moderated posts, reading them for content and such. We also read though any of the reports users made and decide what to do. Now, besides that we use the site like everyone else. We are, however, on the lookout for users who cause trouble or spam bots. So I mean, every mod tries to do their best. We all have different opinions on subjects (trust me, skype gets punchy sometimes). So, my last reply was more of a joke because I think we all do a good job in patrolling the site. I mean, I tend to avoid some of the debates and such and I work mostly when people start exploiting features on the site, but I do watch for other things.
OK 1 vote for K as she gave us a little glimpse into the Ivory Towers
So far it’s two for Ditzy
One for K
I’ll throw my hat in the ring and say that Ken has managed to keep a sense of humour even when I’ve been an idiot
So
1 = K
1 = Ken
2 = Ditzy
When I say idiot - I dont really mean I was an idiot - Ken just thought I was one

OMG how long am I banned for this time lol - hope you see that there are a lot of unanswered questions out here. If Sophie had never posted that question today I wouldnt know half what I know now. You are pretty much the unsung heroes - but I think your profile could be raised just a tad - even just to put off the trollers. Also you could get sparkly letters so that when you type we would feel like we had been ‘visited by a mod’ bit like ‘touched by an angel’. Ley me know I can campaign for you
K, do you think it’d be a good idea to have a post where the mods can tell us what helps them and what doesn’t? maybe a disclaimer giving users information about what your purpose is? i’d like to see an ‘about the mods’ link on the main page and it seems like mas1s is with me :O)
I really don’t know any mods, except for ditzy, ken, eric, and someone else I can’t remember at the moment.
I would say that whoever would share the winnings with me, should get the $500,000 prize. Was that dollars or pounds. If it was pounds, was that pounds of haggis?

You may be onto something……
Actually I’m selling r-shirts right now for the guy in Hungary who wants a Paypal nose job.
i can imagine that slogan. something real classy like ‘micheal jackson won’t be the last’ and then on the back ‘ahead by a nose’
what would the help t-shirts say?
