You weren't around when we literally did have NO active mods. Kanji came online every few months or so, but all the other mods were gone...it was absolute chaos. JF was a mess.

I dunno if I was around when that happened, but I definitely remember this forum going to complete HELL. It was NOT fun.

I honestly think moderators on a forum like this is appropriate. We have a lot of youthful, young people on this forum, and some of us just don't have the maturity level to handle someone's comments sometimes, myself included.

You know, the mods could do a better job.

I was literally harassed by ozkai several months ago. Not to mention many members were harassed by Ronin4hire for quite a long time.

The mods here could prevented a lot of abusive incidents in the past, but they were too lazy.

Can anyone be a mod?

If so... then how?

Actually, that's your side of the story.

Moderators have to take all discussions into account and whilst you may think that you are the only one experiencing problems, their are many going on.

A few cat fight's today, and I was perplexed as to what they were even all about..

I remember you telling me about your mother in a PM;)

That's very interesting..

I couldn't imagine a forum without a moderator.

Kanji used to be the ONLY moderator with access to moderate all subforums. Back then I only had the ability to mod the music section (as always) and I couldn't help him out at all. It sucked, but I'm glad we're more now. It takes the pressure off of Kanji a bit.

Waaay more active. JF has been pretty quiet recently.


Sounds like a bit of variety..

Are you a moderator?

I just noticed your MASSIVE post count!

At the end, it was you who got penalized by the mods (esp. Kanji). Not me.
