Hi, Hoot Mon.
I was a moderator for a while. The Admin Forum was about as exciting as watching paint dry--less, really: no fumes.
The few occasions when individual posters were discussed occurred when one moderator would ask the others for input: Do you folks think this is a violation of forum rules? Did anybody else notice that person registered for the sixth time? Did I act appropriately here, was there something better I could have done there, etc.
Discussions centered around being fair to individuals while maintaining a modicum of forum decorum.
The naughtiest thing I can remember is when I observed "Never argue with Holmes when you're tired."
And that's still good advice.
Eventually, I had to provoke them into throwing me out--who wants to belong to a club that would have me as an officer? Bad for morale all round, and it's more fun to be outside that tent pissing in than inside it, working for nothing, and being pissed at.

Real things always push back.

It is rare for people to question my indomitable will without consequence. This time it will be merely a distant cousin:- one of those short-eared specimens that prowl around here at night - that suffers at my wrath.
From AdminModulous' link re: Short-eared owls:
quote:
Short-eared owls are medium sized owls with mottled brown bodies, pale under-wings and yellow eyes. They are commonly seen hunting during the day.
Tsk.

Yeah, they hunt during the day but at night they prowl for the ladies! And that's when Mod pounces having lured them in in his female owl disguise. It's grim up north.
Sounds like he's grim down south, too.

Being omnivorous, I take everything personally, and you probably should, too.
