No, but there is a centen amount of respect involved I guess. Mods are invited and in truth it's a thank less job.

No good dead goes un-punished.

A mods job is to try to keep the forum running. Not in the sense of programming but to keep topics on track, try to keep the flamers in check and people follow the rules. In any forum community there are people who will always be trouble. They are a troubled person in life and the same thing applies to their online life too. You try to make sure the threads are in the correct area so the person gets the correct answer to their question with the least amount of crap.
No mods are not paid...in fact it's a thank-less job, no money and you put up with everyoneâ??s crap. You will not make everyone happy that's for sure so you try to balance your actions.
We deal with people ranging in age from 12-13 to 50+ and they each have an idea of right from wrong and have no problem telling their point of view. Sometime it's disrespectful and then we need to play mod to keep the peace.
Being a mod is a labor of love and that's all it is. We are just normal people trying to make a difference and keep the peace. You don't see me much outside of the grow forums or the chat room. Beeblebrox.420 works the whole site like we all should. I just spend too much time in the grow area it leaves me little time to surf elsewhere. Thanks Bee for picking up the slack and keeping the place running.

Did that answer your concern?
