So let me preface my comments by stating that generally speaking our moderators do a great job here policing everybody especially spazzy posters such as myself. That being said I post on several message boards and most of them have moderators that are for a designated period of time and even say “retired mod“ underneath their name. The reason is is an extremely demanding, stressful and thankless position that is also unpaid. Recently a particular moderator here has been extremely short tempered, snippy and combative with several posters and it makes for a very uncomfortable board. May I suggest that the next time that all of the moderators get together that they entertain the idea of rotating and/or adding new moderators. I know Caldwellzag was added to the whelping box recently and he has been phenomenal. It’s a position that I would never want or wish on my worst enemy and believe me no one with an ounce of Intelligence would want me as a moderator either. But I think for everyones sake the higher ups on this board should entertain the idea of either adding or retiring some moderators. It’s been the same people forever and that can lead to too much corruptible power. I think it’s time for a change. Just my two cents. Thank you
O.T. Why don’t we have rotating/retired mods?

I think they do as good as possible. Its tiring with people crying and complaining like we all do. Then people name call vs each other. I used to do this.
Do mods have favorites? Of course. I got warned and banned for 24 hrs because a mod favorite and i were doing same thing and he didnt but i got banned.
However i think they do a awesome job and i wouldnt want to babysit grown ups.

Originally posted by thespywhozaggedme View PostI agree with everything that you just wrote. That’s why they should rotate. It’s too much to ask for the same people to do the same thing over and over and over. Eventually it catches up to them as is evidenced by the recent posts of one particular moderator. It’s just common sense and that’s why so many boards are doing it. Plus, as I mentioned in my OP, if only a select few people are doing it forever it does lead to too much power, just like politicians. I believe in term limits for politicians and board moderators. LOL
Example?
I got banned forever at mariners reddit. Whatd i do? I said nick vincent sucked and wasnt good. Thats it. Mod and i didnt agree on baseball talk and then when i said that he banned me. Lol

BTW you don't see half the stuff we have to deal with. I don't play favorites and I am the last person that would ban someone. For ME... even with bannable offenses I prefer to opt towards warnings than bans. Outside of being mods, we are human beings, we do have opinions and are just as free to express them here just like anyone else. I guess my question would be this... is it that you think a mod cannot disagree with anyone on the board?
To finish, for the record, there is nobody on this board that I WOULDN'T sit down and have a beer with. Jazz and I have differences... I'd still hang out with him in a heartbeat. Same with you spy or anyone else.

Originally posted by LongIslandZagFan View PostThere are very specific reasons why he did. As for me... no real plans to hang them up and honestly don’t see what being a mod has to do with my having an opinion. Don’t worry though that day may come and I am sure you will be happy when it does.
