You are now an Escapist Moderator

[DaWaffledude]

Pretty much what I always do. Maybe ban the occasional asshole.

 

[D-Class 198482]

unlock all my locked threads
all of them

 

[MammothBlade]

Ban everyone without an avatar. Suspensions for anyone who plays games I dislike. MAUAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

 

[anthony87]

Chances are I'd go mad with power.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I might do something about threads that get too personal but haven't strictly broken the rules...

I'd probably just be a moderator. Ban users who break the rules, lock threads which break the rules, enforce the rules generally.

Oh, and I'd shut down that "Lady Bits" group. It's just not very good. Bitches be crazy.

 

[Woodsey]

If I've somehow become a moderator then you'd best be more worried about all the pigs that have started flying, and less about what I'd do as a moderator.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

I would ruthlessly enforce the "Low content post" rule and accumulate-ban all the regulars for petty infractions using the strikes system. -_-

And on the other hand ignore people who abuse the system and bait users.

-_- as well.

This. Oh crap, do I have to ban myself now? Oh wait, I added something, I think I'm safe.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

While I would absolutely love to go mad with power, but I fear that I'm probably far too nice to actually do such a thing. And never mind the colossal amount of time I'd waste trying to think of inventive ways to abuse said power.

In all seriousness though, I suppose I'd do my damned job. Make sure the rules are obeyed/enforced, and send the truly abhorrent users packing. Simples.

 

[Something Amyss]

Cain is the only one here that I know wouldn't abuse the fuck out of it.

The rest of you, you'd cracked under the presser and fall to corruption. That power is too great.

I myself would probably only use it on blatant shit.

Pssh. I'm already cracked and corrupted. TAKE THAT!

 

[CleverNickname]

wait... escapist mods are people?

What? That can't be right. I've never seen them think, only count letters and give horribly delayed automatic warnings and pre-scripted replies.

I certainly have never seen one post. Are they supposed to, like, stick out? Be visible? I can't tell, because I don't think I've ever seen one. I damn well can't name one.

This is the first forum on the internet where that's happened to me, btw. I like mods. I like noticing mods. I like forum modding. I've done it for 7 years. I know how to do it right. It's by being a person first, then a user, then a mod.

Uh, yeah. That's what I'd do as a mod. Post something. About sunshine, probably.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

I love how people think being mod means they have the power to change something.

You enforce the rules of the Escapist and make judgements based on those rules.

You can't just ban people willy nilly, and you certainly can't change any of the rules to serve your own desires.

Spoil sport.

 

[ffs-dontcare]

I've had some seriously unwarranted hostility directed towards me in the past on these forums so if I ever saw it happen, I'd check the posting history of the offender in question before deciding whether to ban them or not.

I'm a pretty responsible person, in fact I'm the sort of guy who would march into the bank in charge of an ATM that just gave me more cash than I needed and return it to them. So, realistically, I'd bypass the system in rare cases where I feel it is warranted because I know I wouldn't abuse my power.

Oh wait, the title said "moderator", not "administrator". Oops.

Well, I don't know. I imagine I'd be restricted by the rules from doing what I think needs to be done.

If I've somehow become a moderator then you'd best be more worried about all the pigs that have started flying, and less about what I'd do as a moderator.

You'd have to make a pretty big turnaround to go from being banned three times to moderator.
At least you could say that you've experienced the wrath of your power.

 

[TimeLord]

Some mods are quieter than others when it comes to forum posting but come on! I've made 23 posts in only the last 2 days, and have an active thread going at the moment.

I damn well can't name one.

Now I am sad panda.

Yeah, as in 9 years-worth of turnaround, according to my mathematical calculations. (I have more infractions than my profile's rap-sheet shows.)

You seem to post less than your pre-mod days though.

How do you get away with it? Who are you giving blow jobs too?

Captcha: head honcho
Which one?

I've got magic fingers, and I'll say no more.

Yeah that's fair, moderating does take you away from the actual forum posting. But other life events have also cut into my Escapist time too.

 

[The White Hunter]

I would enforce the low content rule with ruthless efficiency and tolerate nothing that did not add to the discussion.

I would also ban trolls on the spot without questioning, if you're obviously trying to fan flames then you don't deserve a second chance as far as I'm concerned.

That's like 61 posts each day. Somebody has been busy in the RP forums (me thinks) ^^

OT: I would change everyone's avatar to Justin Bieber... That sounds familiar, somehow.
