Cuz it’s a shit job and nobody (who would appropriate) wants to do it.

I’m glad we have 3… It seems like a terrible job. These people volunteer their time, and are largely just fussed at, and demeaned, by jellies who can’t follow simple rules…

I might, on occasion, give them grief (and for that I apologize). It is a difficult job that you can never, never make everyone happy with whatever decision you make.

I would like to say thanks you guys (while I am sober and before I get on another drunken rant) for volunteering to keep people like me in line and keep the site a worthwhile endeavor.

It’s a job where you volunteer to be abused!!!

They are wonderful!

I applied but didn’t get a response. Maybe because I don’t know the difference between their and there. I have the time 24/7 to volunteer. The offer still stands. Maybe they are worried if I get attacked that I will not be able to handle it. I could still be useful for eliminating spam.

An official spaminator would be helpful, make everything easier on the full service mods.

@Patty_Melt Thanks. I would love that position. Spaminator.

There are three because they are the most wise.

I was going to suggest that -@RedDeerGuy1 can work on spam removal which could be helpful to the Mods to perform other duties.

@RedDeerGuy1 FOR SPAMINATOR!
All those in favor…

Patty_Melt's avatar

I hear crickets.
Where the heck are all those politically charged jellies?

MrGrimm888's avatar

^I don’t vote. Keeps plausible denial, as a fall back….

Don’t you believe RDG would be a valuable spaminator? We could get a special mug printed up for him.
We could have our fun with the spammers, then zap! He steps in and liquidates. :-)

Patty. I honestly have NO clue, what it would entail. I’m not a person who likes to talk about stuff I have little understanding of.

If you’re asking me if I think RDG is smart, and capable, I will agree 100%.

It can be found in the by-laws:

“First shalt thou take out the Fluther By-laws, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number of thine moderators, and the number of thine moderators shall be three. Four shalt thou not have, neither have’est thou two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then the number of moderators shall be reached and those, who, being naughty in their sight, shall flag it.”

Hope this clears it up.
