lol, ok.

My personal list in descending order of preference. There's a couple of others, but I know they don't want to do it:

Xorbie
BCPVP
Wacki

AlexM

I have been very busy so I have not posted in a while. My $.02 less taxes and adjusted for inflation is this....

I think the ACer's should have their own little corner of the 2p2 universe where they can discuss AC to their hearts content without cluttering up the politics forum trying to turn every thread to the discussion of AC. I would also like to see an economics only forum. Politics should be limited to discussions of present events and perhaps political theory which is relevent. This is not as easily done as said, however, because so many things overlap into politics. That is prolly why it is such a chore to Mod.

The thing is that since questions about the state are involved in almost everything political and economic, so is anarchy by implication. Having an ACland forum wouldn't be enough. There would also have to be an explicit no-AC rule everywhere else to keep them confined to their own area, and that isn't likely to happen. (Nor should it, imo.)

If you can't find the time, don't take the green sign.

So... you're saying that no one should mod this forum... The only way to get the kind of modding you seem to want would be if it was a paid job instead of volunteer work.

[/ QUOTE ]At the online forums I've modded in the past, it was taken for granted that the mod would spend enough time every day monitoring his domain and getting to read almost every post that was put up. There was never any question of "not enough time" (so don't get the gig then, it's voluntary work) and no question of ..getting paid.

The satisfaction of a job well done and helping out was enough.

I guess some people are just lazy - or don't realize what real modding is. "Banning posters first and asking questions later" sure ain't it.

Good job being a mod of smaller forums in the past. Sadly, that doesn't work with larger forums.

I don't care what anyone says. Ain't no way Nielsio's a troll.

[/ QUOTE ] One of them was a free forum, on the most popular Blackjack website, attracting much more (way much more) posts than the Politics forum on its good days. Every prospective moderator was known to already been spending enough time in the forum.
