Mods and humility..

I know what you may encounter within the next page may be true but i don't know that so hah.. I just so happened to be in a conversation with someone and i kind of got the impersonation that __________ seemed to know very little humilty, which brings me to my next point, during your mod selection, i think you should have a "personality check" you all know.. I mean peoples posts could be very nice but what are they in true life?? A bunch of buttocks

For instance, Say__________ were to in all of his/her posts say flattering or uplifting , or etc. stuff but then he was saying that as a suck up or just a outer layer?? Wouldn't the mod picking people have made the wrong dicission? Back to the "personality check' thing.. I had an idea that you could have a secret screen name for AIM, Yahoo, IRC, MSNM, or whatelse there may be, after that you use that screen name and talk to the mod to be and see if they have a fair or decent personality. If not, conclude the chat, then go look for someone else. The main thing at that is that when you guys pick the mods, and I know I am a lowly member of DDRfreak, 1 in 30,000, but would you guys just make sure they have a humility(And if you have read this post and don't know what humility means, it means being humbe example: I am mod almighty bow down to me LOCK!!!!!!!!! for no reason, I hope if you didn't know what humility means, now you have a good understanding of it. See you learn something new everday?? One more poin to make in conclusion. Yu all should, if not already demote a mod if they really go Nazi. One more idea, make them sign a e-mail contract so-to-speak.

Thank you for all consideration in advance.

I have no clue what you just said. At all.

...I think what you're trying to say is that some mods are asshats in real life? Damn man, edit that please. Or at least clarify...?

I think he means that there is a mod, who he does not want to point out at this time, who when locking posts, abuses their power. I *think*.

Well if you have a problem with a mod you can PM that mod or an admin. Mods still have to follow the rules just like everybody else.

I don't think you mean that a mod just locks a thread and that be the end of it. Most of us post why we lock the threads when we lock them.

Sometimes, it may seem like a mod is on a powertrip when in actuality, they are just being really strict about the rules. Some mods are not as orthodox as others and it just depends on their style of policing the boards.

Do you think that what is said in a single thread is a good representation of a person's entire personality?

Couldn't it be possible that there are different sides to a person?

Personally, I know that I can seem like a hardass bitch on the boards at times, but typically when it appears as such, it's because I'm cracking down on a particularly bad board. Sometimes you just have to be stern to get the point across. I've been called every name in the book over locking threads. Does it bother me? No. It's a part of the job. Do I have humility? Yes, I would say so. Others might call me a nazi, but my fellow moderators and the more seasoned members of the board understand.

I realize that this thread probably wasn't about me, but I wanted to give some ideas out for whoever this was directed to.

I'd like to add to DEM's post:

If you're reading this post and you're not a mod, you never will be. End of story.

First off, I am dissing a mod for personal reasons for something off of the board, Second off, I am not asking to be a mod. And I read the Faq DeM so there.

So you're bringing personal stuff from off the board onto the board?

Seems like this whole thread is rather pointless then.

Take your issues up with that person directly instead of dancing around the issue and most importantly, don't bring your drama here.
