The events from this weekend strongly highlight the necessity for a team of moderators. And when you have a team of something, then naturally other people with similar inclinations want to join in too.
Crescent ^ pssst you do that⦠and keep an eye on her and give me a weekly report on what she does and more IMPORTANTLY who is she meeting these days..
And such power shud be given to the person who takes it seriously and does justice to his/her work and not to a person who seeks it (as ur prolly familiar with the hadith too) :-)
Pay is not the issue here (atleast not for me) but yea...I don't get the deal with people getting excited over being a Mod. I guess people are kinda hungry for power and just want to be known or something. Or maybe its that curiosity that 'how is it like to be a Mod etc'
whats the big deal about being a mod. hmmm it appears ppl are only looking at the negative power mongering type of motivations, maybe it some sort of projection but there are people who appreciate what this site is, what it has done over the years and want to play a more involved role in it and contribute more than they can in their capacity as members.
^ you forgot to mention the dental and health care benefits, the retirement plan and the annual bonus...
yeah .. and the contribution part too - as you mentioned :~)
