Musings On Message Boards And Moderators

O.K. I don't know if this is in the right category or not. If it's not, I'm sorry. I don't mean to cause any trouble; this is still so new to me.

What do I mean? Well, this is the first time I actually joined a forum to post. I've only ever posted on two other T.V. show message boards and they were for shows that had their run and were cancelled long before the Internet was around.

So basically all you did was start posting. They were unmoderated too. Which brings me to my second part. What exactly do moderators do?

I'm assuming their job is to be policemen and keep order on the board. If that's an accurate description, I have a lot of respect for them; it can't be easy. If I'm really off the mark, then tell me.

Andromeda is a show that's having it's run in the age of the Internet. As such because of publicity and being current it's going to attract way more people than sites for shows that are long gone{no matter how good those shows were and still are}. He, he. Yes, I'm still a fan of all my beloved long gone shows. When Andomeda finishes it's run, I hope to still love it enough to remain a hard core fan. Signs look good.

Yeah, that's pretty accurate, and yeah, I don't envy their jobs.

Luckily, SSBBS is a pretty "nice place to play", for the most part, but we did have a rough time recently, that was pretty hard on the Mods.

So, we can't say it enough: Thanks, Mods!

No problem. Moving it here took a few clicks. .

That's more or less it. The 'laws' by which we moderate can be found at http://www.slipstreambbs.com/members/policy.shtml

I could not have phrased things better myself. .
