Yo. I just wondering. Why do the Mods only have control over a few of the forums here, rather than all or most? Is there any rhyme and reason behind your choices of who moderates what, or did you just give them random threads? Because it seems kind of annoying for a Toon Mod to not be able to lock an Email thread, for example.

I'm not exactly sure myself, I even wondered about that at first. However, I now think that it is because since he's in those debates so much, to make him a Mod there wouldn't seem fair or right.

That's actually a pretty good idea, when I think about it. Keeps mods from getting tangled up in too many forums so they don't get fatigued or end up lagging behind.

How do you become a mod?

Nope, and if he's tried to sell you any bridges you should try to get your money back before he spends it.

'Cause you are just one of those users who fit right in with the mods and admins. Go rammy!

That, and his avatar seems like a "mod" avatar. I don't know why. It just does. Le deal.

And it doesn't explain the seperation of the mods in the H*R-related threads, which all seem pretty similar in content.

That's what I initially thought, but StrongRad debates quite a bit there as well...

We let our mods choose a few forums they want to be mods for. If they don't want to have to worry about A&C, for example, we don't make them. Didymus didn't want to be a mod in R&P, so he isn't.

Yeah, that's what I realized after some thought. Originally, I thought that it was dangerous to have mods take seperate topics becuase I thought spammers and such would spam the non-mod boards (if you can follow that). But after looking back, another mod or admin always comes to the rescue, so it's no big deal.
