yeah, that's why we didn't let saber ... he asked like every day for a month.
Well, we'd already hinted to him about it. And he was half joking.

Personally, I've never seen why people want to be mods/admins to tell the truth. It's a hard job when you think about it. I mean really, being a mod/admin means you have to decide when there's a violation of the rules or not. Some rules we have here are clearly defined but not all of them. For the ones that aren't stated bluntly it's up to a mod/admin to interpret the rules and take action if it's been decided that there has been. Not only that, but it's also up to them as to what punishment to hand out for a violation of the rules. I mean, there have got to be times when a mod/admin here would've just wanted to click "ban" on a member and have the power to do it. But knowing that it'd be wrong because banning that user would be way to harsh.
Another big thing that keeps me from wanting to be a mod here is it's up to them to decide when topics in the Boardwalk are deserving of their own topic or if they're more suited for the social topic. I wouldn't want that decision resting on my shoulders; I don't think I'd be able to make a call like that.

Quote from TRH:
We have a roulette game going on deciding which topics should be locked and who to ban and such. Keeps it simple.
Yeah, and we used to give a number to each topic, put them into a randomiser, and let a computer draw out one number a day. Then we'd lock that topic. Easy!
Quote from nate:
saber is also well-suited to being a mod (is not afraid to take action when it's necessary, and does a fairly good job of determining necessity), so your mileage may vary.
but that is quite subjective, nate. I used to love sabers posts when he didn't have an avatar yet, but now I'm starting to be annoyed by the majority of his posts. I can't exactly lay my finger on the reason however. Perhaps because I'm used to loose moderation, whereas M2K2 is pretty strict nowadays.

*Shrug* I only act as a mod when I specifically say that I am acting as such, so if you're annoyed by me, that's probably not saying anything particular about the staff system on m2k2. Now, if you've got problems about calls I have made as a mod specifically, that's something we can talk about.
