:lol: vyom a mod! now open the offtopic thread

You have whole Off topic sub forum to your disposal. Feel free to make off topic threads here: *www.digit.in/forum/chit-chat/
It's not best to discuss everything under one single thread, rather its better to have many threads for different topics.

It's necessary to remain this way so that Google uncle properly indexes our forum content and helps attract more readers to our forum, which in turn affect the forum's health. Hope you understand. :)

[MENTION=294461]abhigeek[/MENTION],I don't believe in banning users without 2-3 warnings first & of course never without a proper reply/reason.:) btw i have no idea why you thought i would be banning users frequently now.

"A day in the life as mod" is just like a normal day as a life of a member on the forum, except, that you get Powers. Not powers like flying-high-in-the-sky but usually like passing-through-every-locked-gate and having X-Ray vision. At first you are excited of them but soon enough you realize not everything is jolly land. So there's a big catch. You get responsibilities.

Since you now have the power to get through every locked door, you are bound to encounter pits that leads to nothing but darkness and danger. You have to remove those pits before someone could fall in them. Since you now have X-Ray vision you get to see the dark side of the forum that remains invisible to regular members. And the best part is that you can't ignore them. You see Every-thing. The mud, the filth, the graves and the worse of all, "bodies with comic sans fonts". It burns your eyes, but you have to shoot it with lead or let other members risk damaging their eyes.

As a mod you have to inspect every new members that enters the forum. You have to track their first few steps so that we can be sure they won't do any harm. And that my friend is a tedious job. Since there are times when number of such people who 'just like to watch the world burn' surpasses the ability of mods to inspect them. That's where you come in. Many members regularly reports a post or a thread that helps us nabbing the bad guys and keeping the forum healthy.

As daunting the task of mods may sound, it also is rewarding in its own sense. Nothing can beat the joy of watching a clean forum. A place where we as a community participate and help each other out for the greater good. Give constructive feedback and engage in healthy discussions. And with regards to that, like I said in the very beginning, even after being a mod, its just like being a regular member.

Personally, I've never done any of the things you've mentioned in your post. I've been a mod since 4+ years now. It's really encouraging to see that you're taking your new job very seriously. Really motivates all of us to do our work better.
