With respect to all the mods here:
I really struggle to understand why anyone would want to be a mod on a forum, particuarly a large place like WE.
You spend your on-board time reading PM's from idiots pissing & moaning about some other idiot calling them a name or such lame crap,
you delete a post, close a thread, or warn some fuckwit...all of which bring you more whining PM's,
& every second person wants your job, & hence complains incessantly about how poor your modding is,
seriously, who wants that kind of crap?
Being an admin is almost as annoying, but at least most posters are so in fear of the admins that they stfu & whine mostly to mods instead,
& of course there is the small satisfaction you get when you ban an asshole every now & then,
but it takes hours to look through all the new members to weed out the (previously) banned fuckers before they cause shit again,
& then you'll get the mods who have no backbones (not people here I stress) pissing & moaning to you about the abuse they are getting from members for 'doing their job'.
There are only a very few boards I have enough belief in to accept an admin job at now,
& no boards I'd take a mod spot on for love nor money.
Nitemare you really should let everyone who asks for a mod spot be a mod for a month, & after they drown in the shit that ensues, that'd shut them up a while.
It's none of my business I guess, just felt like saying my piece...I'll stfu & leave now.
