    Mod 80, I just spilled my coffee all over my desk, I’m laughing so hard! I also didn’t realize we were allowed to divulge so much information! I’m still getting used to all the rules around here. And I would never take the time to write such a long post like yours lest another mod click “aprove” or “delete” before me 🙂

    Mod 26, you aren’t allowed to divulge EVERYTHING! That’s why Moderator Security had to step in and edit your post.

    mmm… i think 55 should be embarrassed. it was 80 who had to edited by security not 26.

    looks like 80 might get some help from 55 on the overnight shift…

    excellent!

    Maybe we should open a new thread for moderators to converse with each other.

    I usually just yell over the top of the wall… something like “rookie, please bring me some more coffee… and don’t spill it this time.

    And I usually answer: “Get it yourself, grouch”………(in a whisper of course)…80

    So THAT’s what the new mods do all day. Service the SR mod’s. Pretty impressive job to say the least.

    Another thing they sometimes do is delete all future posts from certain posters…80

    rookie mods let EVERYTHING in

    Was that a rookie or a grumpy?! 😉

    Oh, and thanks for ‘Koshering’ my post!

    a rookie or a grumpy? Who says that those too are mutually exclusive!

    oh rookies, watch out! (re rookie mods let EVERYTHING in )

    and I believe its ‘those tWo’ not ‘those too’! (re a rookie or a grumpy? Who says that those too are mutually exclusive!)

    Sooo, you’re trying to say that rookies are permitted to be grumpy? No way!

    Sometimes mepal just hits the nail on the head. The rookies here are very gentle and sensitive people, never grumpy and always respectful to the senior couch potatoes…80

    <ouch> Well then…I guess they ARE mutually exclusive! 😉

    who are you going to believe a rookie or an experienced moderator (even one with a spelling deficiency).

    hmmm, I’m really stumped now. Gotta think this one over.

    80, sometimes?!

    re: Sometimes mepal just hits the nail on the head. yes, sometimes. rarely, but sometimes…

    Now who was THAT?

    OMG, you’re telling me I was wrong all along? So I WAS hallucinating 😉

    hallucinating may be a bit strong, however, in this case rookies are not allowed to be grumpy, however, sometimes they like to feign being grumpy to give an appearance of being a senior mod

    HOWEVER, as long as they dont feign being, HOWEVER, sensitive, HOWEVER, k?

    yes 80, you should know ;o) (is anyone else feigning being sensitive?)

    COOL! Maybe we rename this <exclusive> thread?

    or we can rename it “conversations between me(and my)pal”

    being as we have some new moderators here since this thread opened, I will periodically* bring old questions alive again to give the new moderators a chance to answer. Tonight we will start with the first question however, it will not be in the order originally asked. Additionally, if the new mods want to dig up old questions to answer, feel free to do so…

    FOR THE NEW MODS ONLY

    FROM THE OP:

    1. Do you only read the posts that you put up, or do you read everything that gets posted (like the rest of us)?

    *periodically means if I or another mod remembers to do this…

    So can I offer you a cup of fermented plum juice yet?

    I can’t answer that. I asked 72 to explain it, but she refused to discuss it with me…80

    80, when you are old enough to discuss fermented products, I will explain it to you…

    this was a real question asked by: Jax (about 3 months ago)

    is it just me or this is mepal vs the mods thread?!!?

    New Mods – any answers?

    original question/answer is HERE

    72: am i allowed to be flattered that a post of mine was singled out?! no, after all, you were not the author of the first question repeated for the new Mods to answer

    question of the day for the rookies, I don’t think 58 or 26 have been heard from yet…

    Why is it that mods don’t usually post their opinions on the issues we discuss? Is it because you post on regular screen names, or because you have tremendous self control?

    original question from ames can be found HERE

    #1048950

    Ok, ok, I’ll answer both questions:

    1) I read the posts I moderate. When I can’t be around to moderate I try to catch up on what I’ve missed by reading whats up in the CR already, but to tell you the truth, I get my kicks by reading the deleted posts 😉

    2) I don’t post my opinion on issues because as a moderator I represent YW, and not myself. I do express my opinions using my regular screen name, but that isn’t too often either. Or maybe I should say, not as often as I should, since every word I write is a benefit to all those who read it 😀

    “Why is it that mods don’t usually post their opinions on the issues we discuss?”

    We are above such petty matters, besides when you are actually Moderating, you must keep all your focus strictly on The Board. We are kind of like air traffic controllers, or policemen during an arrest. Only more highly trained.

    Some moderators have screen names, some don’t. I don’t.

    well, sort of…not exactly…unfortunately my opinion has changed recently.

    #1048959

    I doubt if 58 will be able to answer these questions in the near future. I heard he just got recruited to give a course in Special Operations Moderator Training, in Aruba. The Navy Seals requested him specifically. I heard he rescued a group of them a few years back in CLASSIFIED.
