Question about moderators, not an insult at all just a ?

[sd6515]

I know I haven't been on here long but I was just wondering how a mod becomes a mod?
I have no problem with the mods infact, and coming from someone recently banned, i think they do a great job. I know my ban was weren't and appologized for my actions. :sorry1:
I was just more curious on the workings of the site and how the people who keep this site at a higher intergrity then other cannabis based boards out there got to that posisitions. I've seen a lot of bad mods and have yet to run into one here. And I have read A LOT of threads on here, a lot twice lol.
Sorry if it's in the wrong place it was the best suited I thought I could find. and thanks for the work mods I won't be banned again i'l l be good. (of course Ive read a lot of these and then the name says banned LOL

[FakeBoobsRule]

Bribes. For most it costs some pot, others take only cash while others are paid with sexual favors. :eek:

Current mods and the administrators look to the membership and talk it over like the table scenes on That 70's Show.

[killerweed420]

They are highly paid and gets lots of free smoke to keep them calmed down so as not to get all pissed and go postal on posters.lol:D

[Dave Byrd]

I had to write checks to both Birdgirl and P4B before I could even be a member.

For FBR, the key is women. Good looking women. I help acquire them for him.

They all have a price. In some cases, it's steep.

[sd6515]

I know my ban was weren't and appologized for my actions I meant to type warranted

[geonagual]

I didnt even know there were mods on this board cause it runs so smooth.

[rebgirl420]

I had to sign over my sould with a pen dipped in my own blood to become a member. Then I received a savage beating from P4B. :wtf:

[PharmaCan]

Then I received a savage beating from P4B. :wtf:

As long as you both enjoyed it, that's what's important. :lol5:

I have to supply studly beach dudes for Stinky. A seemingly easy enough task, but she only wants mutes.

PC :D

I have to supply studly beach dudes for Stinky. A seemingly easy enough task, but she only wants mutes.

Speaking of, I'm running low. Or rather, the last batch are running out of steam.
Don't worry about the mute requirement this time; I've got an old ball gag somewhere...

All kidding aside, members who have made good contributions in the past, with few/no significant flame-outs or other rule violations, who can dedicate a lot of time, who appear to have solid ethics, and who can communicate well in text and work well with the rest of the moderation staff, tend to be the ones considered.

There's no pay, in terms of pot, beach dudes, hot girlies, krispy kremes, etc... although p4b hands out tissues all the time.

[psteve]

I could never be a mod on Cannabis.com.
I enjoy my sarcasm too much. :cool:

[the image reaper]

Moderators are carefully scrutinized ... background checks, credit rating, work history, sexual preferences, IQ tests, and family genetics all play a part ... first hurdle is the hardest: 'were your parents married ?' ... Moderators have tough qualifications to meet because "they go where no Man has gone before" ... :D (I am so full of shit :D)

[Mr. Bubbles]

Moderators are 'the man', and admins are like the corrupt government. :stoned:

[Dutch Pimp]

cannabis10 is my favorite mod...very low key....:stoned:...check the list

He was originally Testwing. I believe he's just there for the admin to test things with.

[HighTillIDie]

[Purple Banana]

You need to have the nurturing, supple breast of a mother, and the engorged veiny balls of a man to be a Moderator.

[psteve]

You need to have the nurturing, supple breast of a mother, and the engorged veiny balls of a man to be a Moderator.So, ...Mods are hermies???
I'm so confused.

[Purple Banana]

They could be, psteve... They're a different breed.

See, I've got breasts, but I only have a penis. No balls. So I could never fit into the ranks of the mods, really. It's sad...

[Nation_1ne]

Cheques in the mail.

[stinkyattic]

Nanner, you ever see those implants you can get for your neutered male dog so it looks like he's still... 'natural'?
That's what I did to become a mod... I look HELLA good in a mini skirt... the shorter, the better... hahahaha

[Reefer Rogue]

Mods keep the bad people away.

[stars stars stars]

LMAO. yous all crack me up.

[Mr. Bubbles]

Haha, some oddballs here at CannCom. That's alright, we're all a little odd.

[LIP]

That Testwing freaked me out for ages. I was gunna stake him out.

[qdavid]

"Daddy, how do I grow up to be a mod?" "First, son, take this hammer. Now hit yourself in the head repeatedly with it".

Haha! :jointsmile:

[delusionsofNORMALity]

i figure that about twenty years from now, when i'm on my death bed, i will be made an honorary mod in recognition of my many years of unremarkable posting. once i am given those temporary powers i will strike. at long last i'll be able to tell all of you $%$*%#@$ exactly what you can do with your $%@*&%@*%#*&@!@#. then i'll perma ban the lot of ya. after that i'll be able to die a happy man.
:bnd2:

by the way, i'm still waiting for that dirty old man smilie.

[birdgirl73]

"To Delusions of Normality, we are thrilled to present the Cannabis.Com Lifetime Achievement Award for his many hundreds of thousands of posts over three decades, which no one can remember anything substantive about but which he always presented in a marvelously stoned and zany tone."

"And now Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will join us to present the Harry Jacob Anslinger Humanitarian Award. . . . .If you will, please hold your exhalations until he has completed his presentation."

[psteve]

please hold your exhalations until he has completed his presentation."
Take your time...

[birdgirl73]

^^ That photo there was worth a tip o' the scales to you, Steve! Thanks for the fun!

[delusionsofNORMALity]

gee, i'm so surprised and this is such a great great honor. to begin with i'd like to thank my mentors timothy leary and stanley owsley. though they never achieved anything close to my greatness, they were always of some minor assistance. next i would like to thank all of the little people who made this possible (compared to me, you are all little people). finally i would like to thank the government of the united states of america for keeping this nonsensical prohibition on the books and allowing me to amass my multi billion dollar fortune. i would also like you all to know that, though i have frittered away most of my fortune on underage hookers and cheap wine, i am using the remaining $7.78 to create "the institute for the perversion of american morals" in honor of my misspent youth. in closing i would like to leave you with the words of our ex president and the first woman on saturn (and the last), sally fields - "i can't deny the fact that you like me, you really like me"


by the way - holding my breath should be no problem as i haven't exhaled in nearly twenty years.

[I Justburn 247]

This may not reflect my post count due to my new username but I spend a lot of time on this site and lately I've been curious as to how one goes about becoming a moderator?..or like earning the mod title?..

Do you have to commit a certain amount of hours or at certain times? What other prvileges or abilities do you get? And you don't get paid right?

Stay high

[Blitzed]

Moderators are chosen by the other moderators and sundance I believe. You become one by sensible posts a good record, charisma, being a regular, knowledgeable, etc. There are lots of privileges mods get such as, the mod only forum, bigger avs, their own title, bannings, post deletions, editing posts, giving out infractions, and sure many other secret powers we have no clue about.. :jointsmile:

And as the site grows so does the need for moderators, so just stay good and likable, and one day, maybe just one day.....

[delusionsofNORMALity]

all of our mods have been genetically engineered and preprogrammed at the factory. they are all linked directly to their computers and fed a special top-secret diet of herbs, caffeine and high-fructose corn syrup. they have no life outside of serving the cancom community and are incinerated once their usefulness is at an end.

[Old Stoner]

You have to be a member of "the family." It also helps to be Italian. Ask Physco4Bud, LOL....

[BobBong]

You have to make me an offer I can't refuse.

[geonagual]

I love this question:)

[Blitzed]

You have to make me an offer I can't refuse.

how about a life time supply of marijuanita and :spam3:

[ghosty]

I heard you have to send sundance a video of you singing some rastafarian chant backwards 3 times, while doing the hokey pokey with a blunt in your hand. around a modified pentagram made to look like a weed leaf... Only the mods know the chant, and sundance chooses who to inform. I will not incriminate the one who told me, it is simply what I heard.

Please don't ban me... I couldnt keep the secret

[BobBong]

[CanaDanKs Inc.]

You have to make me an offer I can't refuse.

well we got these nice pomegranates here i could offer yae

also a few tractors, a copy machine, weapons of mass destruction, a sister-in-law, and much more.

All for the shifty price of a few groups of many, many payments!


Oh yea and the insurance will take care of a full (UNDETERMINED) percent of those payments! Satisfaction guaranteed!

[Veratyr Star]

The Ganja Goddess, Mary Jane, appears from the smoke from the blunt of a former Mod and tells him/her who should be the next mod.


Keep believing in Mary and maybe one day... when you have toked enough to satisfy her... just maybe... she will choose you.

[stinkyattic]

all of our mods [are] ...fed a special top-secret diet of herbs, caffeine and high-fructose corn syrup.

[cannabis campbell]

Haha one of the best quotes right there.

[Demeter]

this thread makes me:D

The two coolest women- birdgirl and stinky - elevate modland!

[psychocat]

I have had little to do with mods but I do feel that in the past some have allowed themselves to show biase , I believe there should be at least 3 mods deciding if someone actualy deserves to be banned.
I also believe mods should be chosen by the members of the forum and should have to be elected.
Other than that I can take em or leave em !

[Psycho4Bud]

To funny.......we have to have three mods on here at a time in order to get something done and the OWNER of the site has NO say as to who moderates it.

I think this thread has outlived its usefullness.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
