Nope, never regulated that I know of. Although, threads that I have posted in have been deleted, so I guess indirectly my posts have been deleted...

Your opinion...
How people are moderated is up to the mods and owners of this PRIVATE site... Not up to you.
This isn't a Democracy... If you don't like it, you can always find another site to hang out at

Your choice... but when you are here, you will follow the rules and do what mods tell you to do, or you will be restricted.
Again... this isn't a Democracy

Are you an owner ming? I already know that markos is an owner, and that the owners are Greek. I see some other people are moderators for just some small topic forums... How did they become that, did they buy shares?

MarkG and DanQ(who is not greek), are the co-owners.
DanQ is Canadian, BTW.
 ACK!

Nobodys judgement is perfect... Nobody can think they are God. However those who own this place can make whatever rule they please. The rest of us can't. Simple as that

mlenoard volunteered, then stopped posting and eventually left
mtg got suckered into it during an april fools day joke
rah was forced into it by his brother
me on the other hand, I was popularily elected moderator in two different forums. 
so some democracy does exist

I was a mod once on a site long gone. I don't miss being a mod and am thankful for guys like Ming, DanQ, MarkG, and all the other mods who keep the order. Tough job, no reward (aside from the pseudo power). :applause: 
[edit: "clap" just didn't sound right]

sometimes you need an iron hand to take care of the individuals who don't obey the rules.

The picture is from the movie "StarGate"
No, I'm not an owner, just a peon.
There was a busy period in the OT when Ming was the only real active Mod. My brother lives close to me so we spend a lot of time together. You wouldn't believe how much effort he puts into helping at this site. Since I've been around since the beginning and owe a debt of gratitude for the thousands of hours of enjoyment resulting from all the discussions and games that I've played, I asked Ming if could use a little help. After some discussion with the owners, the rest is history.
You take a lot of abuse and it does require quite a bit of effort and sometimes I wish I was just a regular poster again. But when you find something that brings you enjoyment, it's only fair to contribute back to help it flourish.
I think they agreed to make me a mod, because I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it. My experience has been that it's usually better to give authority to those that don't actively seek it.

Flash should take note. Then again, if he followed this stategy and actually became a mod...

Which is why you should never vote for a politician who asks for your vote.

Do I get the job?

Hehe. Wait until they test you by asking whether you want it, then say no, definitely not, exactly 3 times. Then after that you can claim they forced you into it.
