Thread in a Nutshell:
Being a mod is hard --> EPIC! SPOTLIGHTED! --> we all want to have Chill make love to us --> MORE EPIC! --> using memes to reinforce OP even though OP and thread is against memes --> lololol --> cry self to sleep

I totally get the mods. I used to be mod on another forum filled with people from different subcultures, from punk rockers to bears (the homosexuals, not the animal), and a shitstorm could come from any topic.

I've been called nazi a few times, even been called a 'red fascist', whatever that means, and it was amazing how much people could whine, and not be able to see, that they were in the wrong.

Being a n00b here, I really enjoy the way the mods work here, and all I can say is: keep up the good work.

I moderate several streams with several thousand people in them regularly, it's hardly fun, the only perk being your opinion gets listened to more often.

Moderating a forum, especially one on the scale of teamliquid with several thousand AROUND THE CLOCK posting etc. would be unreal. As is, I only read like 5 sections on TL, general, sports&games, tl community, sc2 general, blogs, with the occassional BW section and BW Tournaments to read results of proleague.

It would be unreal.


Actually, I tend to post less now that I have an icon, since people are scared to contradict me or something, even if I'd like to start up a debate :/

I agree, I've been really scared to post in controversial threads since I got mod powers. I think the risk is that people will interpret what we say as representing TL, which is especially problematic in any threads about the SC community/its members. With great power blah blah blah.

Good read. But I would gladly trade a small portion of my soul to be a Team Liquid moderator or banling.

Would you? WOULD YOU?
