Re: Mod Appreciation Thread
When I was a Usenet moderator, I got calls from people in the national organization associated with the topic. Some calls were "what the hell is this thing?". Other calls were seeking help squelching voices they didn't want heard. I couldn't do that. I was no longer moderator. Quit before I was fired.thrill wrote: ↑April 20 22, 8:22 amOh no!

Re: Mod Appreciation Thread
In all seriousness, there are a lot of things to care about in life, a lot of things to spend your energy on. Being a mod is mostly fun, but there are times when you ask yourself why you're dedicating any of that energy to keeping cardinals posters in line on a message board. I know from experience that if you think the forum seems healthy and chill, there is actual mental labor that goes into that from the mod team behind the scenes. I'm glad they care enough to do it for us. A good mod team is almost invisible in how they enforce forum rules and ours does a phenomenal job of that.

Bourbon on me for anyone coming thru indy.
But it's bourbon or bourbon related cocktails.
