Moderators CAN flame, although they prefer not to.

There's nothing really to be 'in' on.

Just moderators jerking TOEZ around the BBS to make an example (and for the laughs, I suppose).

actually it was quite funny. not because of the moderators. but because of the way TOEZ is acting about an online forum.

let me repeat that.

a forum, that is online, that you can join for free, that is composed mostly of teenagers.

so serious is this shit that if I smell it I might explode with seriousness.

Well, in all honesty, that's like asking if a cop can beat up a suspect before arresting him.
The short Answer is, yes, he can oftentimes.
As long as they don't kill the dipshit criminal.

Ah, he was just trying to be helpful. I can't really fault the guy for trying to change newgrounds in a way he thinks appropriate.

Thats exactly why it's not fun to be a mod. If you're on a pedastal no one can touch you. I know Mods have some friends...but they seem really cut off from the public..i for one feel nervous just speaking to a mod...lol. I don't even like to PM them just to ask hello...i feel like i'm interuppting work or something...

First thought I had when I saw this was BBR. Not too many moments I remember where he wasn't calling somebody an idiot.

Also I love the sub plot of the user who had his question of modship backfire on him to create this, but it needs more romance. More spice! More Maximillian!

And yet they are in a position of power which is something people idolize. Especially the kids here. One mans burden of responsibility is another teenagers lust for power on the internet.

You've been here longer than me, you can't seriously believe that.

First of all, you can't be banned on the BBS for what you say in a PM (mostly, there probably have been exceptions) and secondly, you're allowed to argue with a mod in the same way as you are with anyone else. But, just like with everyone else, if all you do is insult and flame then they're perfectly within their right to ban you.


Give my thoughts form and make them look insightful.

Well yeh but some Mods are pretty much huge douchebags they flame you whether you do or don't insult them. I've had a mod insult me after they banned me called me flamed me unnecessarily in a ban message i'm pretty sure that's not ok but stupidly i did nothing.

We all laughed about it privately, then we decided we'd do you guys a favour and share the laughs to the rest of the BBS.

yeah, we were sharing

you remember in school how the teachers always said you should share!

It's manners, goddamnit.

Damn...... You and BBM must have been bored as fuck. Don't you guys get like a shitload of dumb-ass PMs about NGers begging to get modded?

Really? people PM me to say hi. It doesn't happen every day but now and then they'll say hello and start up a conversation with me.
