Top reasons to be a mod, or to not be one (add your own)

[The Straight Story]

Top reasons not to be one:

- When you move your own threads you have only yourself to send hate mail to.
- You really, really want to make a snide ass remark, but you have to think about whether you can or not.
- Locking your own threads and trying to find a cool way of doing it that does not make you look bad
- You think you got hate messages before in your inbox?
- People won't forget how you made them mad that one time you deleted their post. Welcome to many more ignore lists
- You can't take long vacations - unless you take your laptop with you.
- Having a wild sex party interrupted in the middle of the night by alerts on breastfeeding at Olive Garden threads

Top reasons to become one:
- You don't have to order (alert) a pizza for someone, you get to deliver it
- You get to help out a place you love
- Being able to have the last word in a thread
- You get a cool little icon
- Free health insurance. Ok, not really.
- Women will want to have your babies, men will envy you (and the reverse)
- You can brag about it in bars to friends and potential dates
- It is like being in the Masonic Lodge. You get a decoder ring too. When the history channel runs out of Nostradamus stuff they will pick up specials on the secret mod society of a website with the word 'Underground' in it - and you will get to be interviewed (with your voice and face distorted to protect your identity).
- You finally get to lock a thread by the Magistrate with the final words "Sorry Sir, locking this thread"

Add your own :)

1. The kegger parties in the Hot Tub are legendary.

But, like Fight Club, there are rules.

2. Oh, so that is why it takes awhile sometimes on an alert

:rofl: Can't you all keep a wireless laptop near the hot tub?

I have posts that seem to take hours to lock or move and it frustrates people :evilgrin:
