One of my duties as a mod elsewhere was to constantly rearrange threads because it had a one thread per topic rule that zero people followed because they would get in pissing matches about whose threads on the same news topic got the most activity as some ego driven compulsion. There were levels of authority on the mod panel side so not everyone had the same level access, but the ability to open, close, disappear, and move crap around was basic level powers. In addition, they would surely drag crap out of modchat into the open forum if given half a chance here. modchat is basically a hidden forum where they discuss everything. The only good thing about being a mod was the ability to no holds barred talk sit about posters with other mods without anybody seeing to blow off steam
haha ... thanks. Sounds like a real pain.
