Ace-Garageguy Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Okay, I'm sure I'm going to p-off everybody one way or another, and I'm going to get labeled a brown-noser, etc., but I don't really care. I seriously doubt that the moderators get paid for taking their time and effort to make this forum function as well as it does, and to try to keep everything civil and organized. If they don't get paid, that means they're doing what they do here for no other reason than a love of the hobby, and a desire to help this place operate smoothly. It DOES take time and effort to do what they do, and I really don't think they're on ego-driven power trips. The constant carping about little things that they do that might be not exactly the way someone else would do them seems to ignore entirely the POSITIVE contribution the moderators make, every day, just by being available to do a largely thankless job. That's all I got on this one.
Austin T Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I respect them. As I was told once it's "Unsexy janitorial work with no pay". There are a few things that certain ones have done a time or two that made me think differently about them, but overall I wouldn't have it different. Now some of the members regularly who go around placing banana peels and puddles of kerosene, it would be better without them. Edited February 28, 2014 by Austin T
Quick GMC Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 What a butt kisser. I'm kidding. Mods on any active forum always have their work cut out for them. They constantly get called out. There here to keep everyone in line, not be friends.
cobraman Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Seems to me like it is a thankless job. I wouldn't want to do it. No way they can keep everyone happy. I suspect they do the best they can. I for one have no problem with them and am just thankful we have this place to go.
Harry P. Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I seriously doubt that the moderators get paid... Correct. It's a volunteer job.
Craig Irwin Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Correct. It's a volunteer job. And a job that when done correctly will have everyone equally mad at you!
Danno Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 And a job that when done correctly will have everyone equally mad at you! That's a good point. Kinda like being a cop. You deal with the best people at their worst, and the worst people at their best.
vettecote Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I was told once..." If you don't like the way something is done, put in for that job and change it! If not, Shut up!!"...Joe

slusher Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 You have to remember their model guys just like us. I have had no problem. I had pms with Harry, Casey, and Greg.They are great guys. All the moderators are great here. I love it here. The other forum is awful...
Guest Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 No one is correct in what they do all the time. Mistakes are made. We grumble and move on. The mods here do a good job. Are they perfect? No, but no one is.

Danno Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 You have to remember their model guys just like us. I had pms with Harry, Casey, and Greg. The other forum is awful... 1. Are they model guys? Or are they build guys? 2. Harry, Casey, and Gregg had pms? That explains a lot. 3. There is NO OTHER forum. 4. J/K, Casey. Put down the post-laser.
