I think this question is pretty easy.

Mods are motivated by an undeniable, unquenchable, irreplaceable thirst for power.

3. Rekrul

I really don't think Chibi was nearly as controversial as Stimey, because even though most people were tired of his soap-boxing at the end, he still had a lot of "fans", including staff members. People were more shocked about Chibi because he had a ton of posts and been all over the forums for a long time. I don't think people were super attached to him or his posting though.

Adding streams, good god adding streams.

It was even 10 times worse before R1CH and Sonuvbob coded improvements, that's why there used to be a bunch of "You only get 1 change" etc. warnings in giant font in the streaming OP. Now it's not so bad, as long as you keep up with it and don't get 9 pages behind...

Write a script that you just enter values in after copy+pasting the code. I'm sure it will save you tons of time.

What happened to mensrea? He was before my time, but his character seems to be surrounded with so much mystery.

Spent about the last 45mins trying to find any record of it, simply not possible, TL has done a watergate job on the matter

I really need to find something more productive to do with my time....

do Mods pick straw on who gets the duty to mod the Live threads

Nope. In general moderating is very unstructured and spontaneous. But I'd say there is an unwritten rule that if a mod is the first or most frequent poster in a thread, he has a special right and burden to police that thread.

Agreed, although we sometimes tag big threads for everyone to keep a watch on.

I just wanted to add that JWD did a ridiculous job on those MLG LR threads and deserves a round of applause for it. The IdrA loss + Bnet issues might've made those threads worse than any GSL LR thread so far.
