Being a forum mod

[Franko Armani]

I was recently thinking of the tireless hours mods put in on forums such as this one in BigFooty. For the first time it really hit me, the reality of being a mod on a busy forum that is.

It raises many questions like do they get paid for their work on forums that raise a lot of revenue thru advertising? Is it a full or part time job for some people?

If not, how do they juggle the day to day tasks of employment and moderating a forum? Do family commitments still apply? Music, television, film take a backseat whilst attending to online tasks? Is forum moderating a viable career option in this tech age? Undoubtedly the type of careers available are changing dramatically- ie social media/Instagram coordinator (I have friends who make full income doing this). Would I ever be able dedicate all that time for the good of the forum? Maybe if it was something I was so passionate about. Are Social connections in online media stronger than the physical world for the people that take on this position? Are we in an age where various personas for individuals arrive on the form of the online world P1 and real world P2?

There really are so many questions and from a psychological perspective some really interesting studies could (most probably are already) be done on this new world "post 2000" phenomena. If you know of or are studying/researching in this field please let me know as I would like learn more.

I heard one mod has a pr0n collection to rival warner bros, but bans users for posting some. A hard life

It's a difficult juggling act.....One minute a big footy moderator, the next, a life-line counselor....Both of them, unpaid, thankless tasks.

Talking all those Tigers posters down off the bridge, must seem like a never-ending chore.

You guys have it good. Day in day out I feel I am becoming more stupid the amount of crap that is written on the Main Board that you mere mortals don't have the pleasure of reading.

Doss uses it to pick up chicks.

They love a man in power and the Mod/Woolies Manager combination is awesome.

I dont get the appeal of being a mod. I come on here in my leisure time not to work.

In this forum, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

And when you're an admin...

"Are you telling me you rein in the excesses of thousands of football fans AND you're entrusted with millions of litres of petrol by a multinational corporation? WOW!"

"Those pumps don't reset themselves baby"

"Woah! Steady up big boy!"

"Twix are two for $5 today"

"Bed me NOW!"

Twix 2 for $5? Which station?

Guys, why not become a mod of a cam chat site of the adult variety (with 1.7mil+ users) like I am? I get to watch and chat with naked* chicks and 'kick' the competition all day long or for as long as I'm online, which is all day long.

To be honest, I'm so used to watching naked chicks all day that I come here for my sexual pleasure. And while the Tigers are doing so well** that'll be the only reason I come here.







*Naked at the very least, if you get my drift.
**Yeah I know
