Questions and innuendos about Moderators

[Max Powers]

talentless asked not to be a mod anymore but that was before the staff emeritus thing came into effect. so yeah, it's happened.

 

[Danny]

I miss Talentless. Where did he go?

 

[Touring Mars]

I miss Talentless. Where did he go?

Judging by this weekend's evidence, the X Factor auditions...

 

[GT_Prologue5]

That's not what I mean. I said going back to a regular member, just like you and me.

I can be totally wrong here but isn't that what happened with jump_ace?

Oh. I don't see why someone would do that.

A)that was brilliant.
but more importantly what the hell where you doing watching x factor? Did you lose your rusty spoon?

Remember proof reading? 💡

 

[kikie]

Was he really on X factor?

 

[lpb-nissan-gt-r]

Dammit, sorry Daan.
No kikie it was a name joke because his name is talentless, referring to the people who go on x factor who can't sing.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

I wonder, is someone on GTP named Talented?

 

[Tedehur]

Nope.
You can search on members by :
1. clicking on 'All forums', right under the banner,
2. clicking on 'View all users' at the bottom of the page, just above the list of connected users,
3. clicking on 'Search member'

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Oh. Thanks.

Quick question for the mods: Is there any female being amongst your clan? If she exists, how do you manage to win ( hypothetically, you can't actually win) any discussion with her?

Basically, the wife tells me if I'd had enough GTP for the day.

So far, I think he's the only one ask for a demotion, basically to become a "civilian" again. No reason given, probably just became busy. There's a number of mods who just become inactive, either on a greatly reduced basis or just stopped "showing up to work"; vat_man was one...real-life just got busier. Ghostrider just mysteriously left, as an example. Even though you're a moderator, you're still vulnerable to the realities of life, and that this is just another way to waste some time on the internet.

The real weakness of being a moderator is that you can't infract/ban/edit at other forums which dearly need some dolt-remover applied. Gawd, I hate most car forums.

Mr P was a WRS mod for a while but is now a "normal" member.

 

[kikie]

I wonder....... .

Are all mods, again super or not, incredibly smart? Every time there is a new mod, he (I believe there are no new "she" mods?) knows so much about the mod rules and stuff. Are they getting a quick learn-the-mod-rules course before they are giving the mod status?

 

[Rykon Zero]

I just (correctly, I hope) assume that being a moderator is serious business and newcomers compensate their lack of experience with due diligence. That said, I know the important parts of the GTP rules, and give them clearance so I can stay out of trouble. I can't imagine a moderator, who will have both been here longer than I have, and are reasonably respectable people, so they'll know the rules from the start.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Most of it is just common sense..

 

[Muzaffar]

So what exactly are the "staff emeritus" suppose to be? I haven't been active until recently so I miss quite a lot of new things here...

 

[Small_Fryz]

They are a normal moderator?

 

[Muzaffar]

Oh...
But why do they call it that instead of just "moderators"?

 

[Loon]

Oh...
But why do they call it that instead of just "moderators"?

They're old mods who may have left and come back or are just sorta busy. Off the top of my head I can only think of Swift who I haven't seen in forever, Misnblu who is around, and Mike Rotch who just got back to the site.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Smallhorses is one also...

I see... well kinda makes sense since not all of them are that active to be called moderators correct? Also I haven't seen Der Alta much either...

Edit: After a bit of searching I noticed LoudMusic is not a mod anymore? Oh how things have changed since I was gone.

 

[Supercheyenne]

LOLwut?
My interaction with them says they're normal people. If you're really good you can guess their ages by the way they post.

 

[Diego440]

Yes Kikie, they are semi-gods who must be worshipped accordingly, and your posts proves it.

sheesh

That can only be said for Famine if you take off that 'semi'.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

I haven't seen him around since. I think he just kind of drifted off too.

 

[-Fred-]

And myself as well. Sometimes real life takes over, things happen and then all of a sudden you're out of the loop.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Oh I have one.Why don't you guys race in the WRS is it too time consuming or are you even allowed ?

 

[-Fred-]

It's because we're too busy with playing GT6 to do those.

 

[Northstar]

It's because we're too busy with playing GT6 to do those.

I thought they already passed out GT7 to the Mods?

Edit: Woops, wasn't supposed to say anything.
