Deadhead Skier Moderator?

[wa-loaf]

It's not like I go around changing people's posts all the time. I did it once in my intro as moderator and once in this thread in response to him taking a shot at me. He took offense, I apologized.

In many ways, being a moderator you have the cards stacked against you, not for you. The level of crap that you often have to put up with when doing 'your job' without stooping to the same levels of name calling isn't cool. I've seen Greg and thetrailboss deal with it plenty.

in this thread, I was poking a bit of fun back, nothing more, nothing less. Someone got offended, I apologized.

I didn't see your apology before I made my post.

You are held to a higher standard as a moderator. That's why I felt this was out of line. I'm by no means a GSS groupie.

bygones ... ;-)

who are you kidding???

Being a Mod opens one up for lots of questions and judgements. Not much reward for the work. ( Not a slam at Greg.)

Apoligies given. Let it go.

Pretty easy to call out a Mod, The only benefit is the good feeling you get from helping the community.


Plenty of situations where you are open to getting crap thrown at you. That is why I am not a mod any more. DHS shares the passion. Much more good than bad.

I want to be a mod!!! Mainly for the power trip..

I do know this. And there are some members that take advantage of this by purposely trying to push Greg's, Trailboss, JimG, every mods buttons from time to time. Whether it is through saying something offensive to or about a moderator, blatantly disregarding a moderators request to stop doing something, mocking or posting statements or threads that are inappropriate based upon the forum rules; it happens quite often. In my opinion doing that is far worse than one of us saying something back.

We all try and be fair as possible and let things go, but the overall goal is to keep the environment here welcoming to all current and potential new members. I personally think that's what separates this forum from the other ski forums and is why here and the Sunday River board are the only places I am a member.

It's not like all of us sit around watching reruns of Cops together conspiring to 'discipline' people. However, when it's needed, a bit of respect in return is expected. Some members don't offer that, yet 'we' are called the assholes.

my inflated heads 2 cents

you should have been a lawyer..

 

[deadheadskier]

most people think lawyers are assholes steeze, exactly what are you trying to say? :lol:

 

[thetrailboss]

Just for the record editing the text of posts is an extreme measure that is only used in maybe one or two cases a year if that. And generally action is not taken until the Mods talk about it, unless immediate action is needed.

DHS is doing a great job. He is new at this. Give him some time.

 

[OldsnowboarderME]

Old news..welcome back!!!!!

I nearly cried when he got offered the moderator position as I've been BEGGING to be a moderator since the day I joined here. I spend all day drawing as much attention to myself as humanely possible such that maybe, just maybe one day I'll be popular enough.

keeping shooting for the stars steeze and one day your dream might come true!!!

why did you change what I had to say...abusing your mod powers???:roll::roll:

Marc Guido is not a GSS fan...and I seriously didn't write that..somebody changed what I said..whoever did is an asshole..:evil:

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.......

Poor poor Deadhead moderator... Indirectly blasting people... Yeah I've called people names... But they f'in deserved it - someone says something about me and it's negative - You damn right I'm going for them. I'm not the kind of person that can take a blast without sending something back..
So deal - or ban..... :flame:

Hope he doesn't need as much time as you... :roll:

Greg is the only decent Mod on this board... Sorry - just the way I feel...

 

[dmc]

most people think lawyers are assholes steeze, exactly what are you trying to say? :lol:

yeah - people hate lawyers.... Until they need one...

You really got to stop calling people names,.... It's not cool...

Trailboss is a lawyer. Are you calling your boss an A-hole?

You know there's 2 sides to every story... And history runs deep...
I was having it out with some of these MoFos before you even knew AZ existed...

If you truly want to be a good mod... You gotta be fair..

I've been pissed since my last battle... And at you(sorry)... Because you stopped the "War" and left land mines.. Now I gotta live with someones crap comments AND your comments about the whole thing because you only lock threads and don't clean them up... Im sorry if this isn't kosher in your world of - how did you put it - "the 'grown up' world of skiing message boards"...

ahahahahaha..I like a good flame war..time to make some popcorn..

And I gotta be on a plane in a half hour.... damn...

cool... But I'm not a moderator... And I never locked a thread and chastised people for mane calling... And I usually choose goofy names to call people like "tool" or "Masshole"... It's better then what I'm really thinking... And usually in response to someone elses blast..

Sorry - It's just the way i feel...
