Becoming a Mod: Before and After

The GupShup experience has changed quite a bit for me ever since I’ve become a Mod. Some are good changes, and some, not so good.

Before Becoming a Mod:

  • It was alright and perhaps even necessary to open threads with eye-catching titles such as “I am dying. Please help”, and then typing “Can somebody help me find my chapstick” in the first post.

  • I was the one making fun of what geeks Mods are because all they do is “sit on GS all day”. I even used to make fun of Shikra (well, I still do), saying that he was probably just some experimental robotic program in real life.

  • I recieved a grand total of 1 PM a week.

  • I could openly tell someone off without the whole issue being taken to ehsan mamoe and me having to re-explain how everything that I said was justified by GS rules.

  • I had really good grades.

  • I got the juicy ‘GS Insiders Drama’ from either Flashchat or the Feedback forum. Even then, I was far behind with the latest news.

After Becoming a Mod:

  • I still have the right to open funny threads in the Cafe, but to a certain extent (since, apparently, I serve as a model for you people. :rolleyes: )

  • I get teased. A lot. But nowhere near as much as they tease Shikra :stuck_out_tongue:

  • I get PMs a lot so I have to empty out my inbox all the time. :bummer:

  • A few people have even ‘turned their backs’ on me ever since I’ve become a Mod, and in the beginning I was surprised, but I guess that seperates the goats from the sheep, yh?

  • My GPA has dropped down .2 or .3. (I still get good grades, and perhaps the drop was not because of GS, but because I’ve gotten very lazy over the past few months. I don’t know why :S )

  • I can read all the deleted posts/threads and find out who’s in a fight with whom and why. (Not that anyone would even really care, but it’s amusing to read when you’re bored)

  • I can ban people in chat right there on the spot. buwahahah ultimate power! :dixsi: . Eh, okay not really.

  • I got to know which members are Mods (because there were some that I never even knew were Mods). I also got to know Jonybr better after I became a Mod, and I now consider him my mentor. :slight_smile:

Anyways, so those are just a few of the many changes I’ve noted ever since I’ve become a mod. I’m still the same person, I assure you. I look forward to locking your threads.

Have a nice day and please behave yourselves. :rotato:

Re: Becoming a Mod: Before and After

5abi - I was thinking specifically of you when I typed the 2nd line in the "after becoming a mod" part.

angel-face - There's pros and cons. _ I've only been a mod for a short while, so I can't answer that question just yet.

Re: Becoming a Mod: Before and After

see phatti, before we were nice to you because we loved you, now we have to be nice to you :bummer:

Re: Becoming a Mod: Before and After

phatima i feel honored :>

so basically what you said was this:

Before: You was über-dork
Now: You are just dork

Re: Becoming a Mod: Before and After

Well then I’d rather have you let me know hate me. That way I know whether to lock your threads or not. :clown:

5abi - No, more like
Before: uber-dork
Now: uber-dork

P.S. i AM sensitive. So shuddap.

Re: Becoming a Mod: Before and After

Phaaati: ya I know what you mean.. those are the things for a mod, just imagine how it is for me.. :bummer:

this reminds me of GGM (Goodness Gracious Me) - “Oh 'Twadddii” :smiley:

Re: Becoming a Mod: Before and After

Shikra, nobody loves you....they feel sorry for you...there is a difference!

Re: Becoming a Mod: Before and After

^ Gracias. Couldn’t have said it better my self. :snooty:

Shikra - Refer to Laizy’s post. You’re a dumb sucker, and yes, I love you for that. :mudhosh:

Gizzy - Aaw you poor baby :hug:. Were you 15 years old when you were appointed as part of the GS staff?! huh?! huh?! :snooty: Nobody will ever be able to feel my sorrow. :crying:
