Not complaining at all, just wondering why there are so many staff that are inactive, theres a few names ive never even seen on the site before. If your not going to contribute even casually should you have moderator rights and controls?

You've got Manbearpig being as badass as ever and Boop ever so fitting in her role doing all the mod work for their perks (perks being the respect) while the others dont even come online.

Some mods are urr... the earlier mods and stopped coming to the site, or stopped being very active in modding. Depp dont usually take away their status though, so they just become inactive.

I don't know whether or to be delighted or angered by being called a bad ass

Some of the staff were once very active and did a lot of the stuff in the past to really help start the site kick off (Big_Joe, Lestat221, among others) who are sometimes still on, but don't have time to really do stuff anymore. But that is no reason to stop them from being a mod. Because, sometimes after their breaks, they do come back and help us again. Everyone needs a break here and there, and sometimes it needs to be longer. But removing them as mods is not necessary as they are always welcome if they come back.

Also, just because we don't see posts by them doesn't mean they do nothing. We don't know how much they do because, for all we know, some appear invisible and do moderating just without us seeing it directly.

But I do agree I've only really seen two active mods around. But there's enough, in that when people do take breaks, there are enough to interchange and we're never short of badass (compliment, MBP ) mods.

It's the same as ex-presidents remaining 'Mr President' after they leave- it's a mark of respect for the work they did and recognition of their former glory.

Other mods are moderating but they may not be as active on forums or aren't openly moderating such as Amelie, Pingu and Chloe like MBP said, but they are doing the work. Though you can look on the ban list, the ban list isn't a way to see which mods are active and which aren't because moderating isn't only banning bad guys
There are inactive mods as I believe depp doesn't like to de-mod people as they might not be gone for good, though mods can ask to be de-modded if they wish.

I agree with you Doctor on all things except the 2 active mods. Of course Betty and myself have already been mentioned. If you look at the ban list, you still see active moderation by Pingu and Amelie and you of course Lilangel is still around as far as I can tell. Other mods still login but may remain invisible (myself included) but wish to be seen for various odd reasons. But I get where you are getting at.

One last note on your post Doctor: I have not seen a case where an old mod comes on and starts bossing people around. That doesn't mean that it hasn't happened. But I haven't seen it.

Fair points. I removed my last point because it was a bit naff. I didn't say there were instances of people abusing their written status, but I merely said I was well against it, implying people should use their status for good. And I agree with you when you say nobody's abused it or just sat sailing with a grin on their face just because they're staff.

And yeah. I recognise Amelie and Pingu as they do great work on banning spammers. I don't look at the list often and I guess that's where the idea of not knowing/seeing comes into it. You and Bella post quite a lot in the forums, especially when you're moderating threads but Pingu and Amelie don't because they can't. That's what I was meaning when I said some mods work "behind the scenes" some.

(God, I waffle xD)

Just read all your posts that you've posted so far and you've broken like 4/5 rules. Have some time off to learn the rules. (P.S This isn't overmodding - merely trying to keep the standards of the site to a good level)

Strange how somebody who makes a big deal about leaving the site sticks around to make not-at-all-subtle insinuations about staff ethics.

If you have a complaint about moderator behavior, PM it to depp. And knock off the smarmy little efforts at being "witty".

Oh, and look. You act like a petulant child and now you don't get to post for a while. Funny how that works!
