Greetings, players!

No.
no no no no.
You can't even hold it.
I vote for a Judicious Isladar Moderator!
If I became a mod I'd just ban everyone that said something stupid and eventually be left talking to myself about dancer.
I think people here dont really understand the job of a volunteer mod... why on earth would the company give you access to the banhammer as one?
COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS:
1. A volunteer mod usually has to kotow to company policy, their opinions can get them fired if they make the company look bad, as that violates the TOS.
2. Volunteer mods do not have the power to ban, theyre basically nothing more than babysitters. Think about it, SE cannoy be bothered to be here 24/7 but a player can, depending on circumstances.
3. Someone who has been given the position obviously would have a good track record with the community, otherwise they would not have been picked. That is usually the biggest criteria for becoming one, someone who is generally helpful, and not a rude poster, someone who can keep their opinion in line. There is such thing as a boundary between work and play.
What mod should do:
-Lock, or move threads to proper locations should they be in the improper place/offensive material.
-Warn players when they are getting out of line, basically Im going to tell mommy you're being bad while you are babysitted.
-Relay to the boss for threads pending deletion if they get REALLY out of hand
-Be an arbitrator between you and the company, say if a real company GM does something you dislike, someone should be a bridge to communicate with them so you dont get yourself in deeper doodoo
Oh, and @ GreatGuardian, DRG > MNK, and we don't even need an empyrean ws to do so.
Bad idea to have volunteer mods, lets just throw some gas on the fire.
