    -EDIT-

    Those of you who have had trouble connecting, have you tried the Java client provided by a couple of the #ad_buddies Ops (CoZZa and TRHR) there is a link to it in my sig.

    Well who ever the next mod is please make sure that he/she actually looks at all of the forums/threads, because i have never seen a mod on the ps3/xbox360 threads, or the psp threads, so please get one soon, i am tired of all the unstabilty there,, its crazy. so my vote goes to some one who is always on the gaming forums, even though it full of kids, you need some kind of control down there.

    Liez4Love,

    I agree with you to some degree but you should also consider that on a site this size it's simply not practical for a mod to read every post in every topic. They also rely on users reporting offending posts. That is a function available to many of us now.

    Liez4Love, yeah please use the "report offensive post" feature whenever possible. if something needs attention right away such as spamming or flame wars etc, feel free to PM one of the mods with a link to the thread and it will be dealt with. this is a very big place and there's just no way we can go in every forum and scan all the threads, but we do the best we can.

    i think we should have younger mods, not like kids but students becuase nealy all the mods i know are adult that are married and have a family with a job, you cant rely on that? now dont get me wrong, i thing with the current sircumstances the mods are doin an excellant job, (especially neph and flip) but imagine during summer vaction when the kid id at home, maybe they could chose a wise and mature student who has more free time on his hamds.

    i doubt they're chosen with any age/marital status in mind tho.. it's surely about being able to maintain order, not to be online all the time..

    Let me make a wild guess

    solargame is a mature student? am I right? LOL ;-)

    That whole statement was pretty ubsurd IMO. A mod should be and I am sure is chosen my merit not any Age or having a family.

    Cheers

    I agree with bbmayo, mods shouldnt be chosen because of age, race,sex, or nationality.
    The ones that can do the job, should get the job.

    yeah alot of the mods are married with kids, but we've mastered the art of not sleeping so it's all good.

    i don't think neph is married but fairly certain all mods have full time jobs so they do this on their free time just as we do offering advice to other people with problems.
    darth, is that an aquired thing because of vader's breathing??
