Re: Is being a mod fun?
The mods will probably write stressful. The only fun thing to do with power is abuse them, and I'm afraid you can't do that without getting in trouble. 
(In case anyone has no sense of humor, the above was a joke.)

I have always wondered, is being a MOD fun, or stressful? Scratch team can answer to!
It's had it's ups and downs. It's great to help out people when I can and when you can help out a great online community such as Scratch, I feel happy. 
For me, downsides would be (1) commercial spammers, (2) trolling, flaming, and other forum behavior that break the website's 'Terms of Use' (3) those Scratchers that get mad at me after I've moved their thread. The first two just takes time away from helping other Scratchers in the forums, and the third well is just particularly annoying.

Re: Is being a mod fun?
Believe it or not there are insensitive people who feel their life is horrible and must pick on someone who has a decent life.
There are also people who think they're adbots.
And there are also people who think it's funny to swear or see a naked person.
That's what I can see from your post and a little of my knowledge.

Those are just some of the few annoyances I have to encounter in the forums. I particularly have something against those users that otherwise post events dealing with social prejudices, death, torture, and abuse and think it's funny. I don't know if it is just me, but I'm finding that this is coming up more often, and having to see this on a website whose content is intended to be suitable for all ages is particularly upsetting.

Agreed, but why does he say 'That's what I can see from your post and a little of my knowledge.'?

It means that, after reading my post, he assumes that bullies, adbots, and people who think it's funny to swear or see a naked person are some of my peeves as a forum moderator. And his assumption is pretty much right on the nose.

Re: Is being a mod fun?
Ok, thanks for clearing that up! I thought he was speaking to me directly, and how I do those things. I guess I have done some minor bad things on the forums, but not making fun of dead, or tortured people. If people do that, just makes them stupid.

Even if you want to be a moderator, there's a 1/100 or so chance of ever becoming one... you need:
1. To be there at the right time; for example, during a time in which a new moderator is neccessary.
2. If it comes to an election, you need enough influence to get many votes.
3. If it isn't an election, you need to be the one that the Scratch Team/Forum Moderators decide to pick.
4. You have to be good or there is no chance.
5. You need to be able to put up with the stress.
So, it's rather unlikely.
I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: Is being a mod fun?
Being mod is extremely fun and not stressful at all. :-D
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Re: Is being a mod fun?
I never wanted to be a mod, ever since I joined the forums. It always seemed like a big chore to me.
