| Why? They aren't power hungry or anything. If they aren't doing a good job I would think it would be taken care of, but now, I don't see a problem at all. They are doing fine. |

| I don't even see why mods are needed. Just have a list of bannable words and if someone uses one in a post they are automatically banned. |

I have a buddy that tells me that being a mod is a thankless job... I guess he's right.  |

Freak had a contest a while back for whoever has the most posts in a certain thread. Not sure if he won. But he had like 10,000 I think.
I suggested freak subtract the amount of BS posts after the contest but he never acknowledged it.

If you have an issue with something feel free to PM me. |

While I start the same topic and make the same comments over and over and over and over again mostly trying to be cute..
