What do moderators do?

What on earth do moderators do? I think I know, but I'm not sure. I was just thinking about this after I visited Sargatanus's post about becoming a moderator.

P.S. Congragulations again Sargatanus!

------------------

We're pretty much thought police. If someone posts something unique or thought provoking we imediately delete it and warn them that they better be a good little conformist, or else. Uh-oh, I've said too much, where's my banning key? 😉

Really all we do is keep the board free of spam and senseless profanity. We also get to review chronicles, plugs, links, and newswire info before we give them the OK to be released.

Throughout their history these "unenlightened" beings have continually opposed and fought abuses of power wrought by their own bretheren. We, as the prophets would do well to learn from these Humans.

What skills do you need to be a moderator?

------------------

can't resist

You need to know how to persuade people by stuffing cash in their pockets and treating them to a free lunch at an expensive cafe. 😄
