how many MODs do we have in this forum?

[Spicoli]

Does anybody actually care how many mods there are? Is this like the definition of a slow news day or why the Brits talk about the weather. Which is mostly an absence of weather.

Seeing as to how Mods have the authority to warn/ ban posters based on their own interpretation of the rules, yes.... I'd say the number of mods in a forum is a relevant/ understandable question. On a much lesser scale, it's kind of like how many cops do you need in a community. One per thousand citizens? One per hundred? Is it possible that the more you have the higher the probability that one or more may not be fit to be cops? That some may abuse their power? That the probability rises that you may be giving authority to someone who does not deserve it?

How many Mods are necessary? Probably enough to ensure sufficient oversight of a forum 24/7.... but not too many as to not increase the possibility of recruiting an unfit Mod. Just a tad more relevant than the weather, I'd say.

This seems to weigh heavily on your mind as you have mentioned it a few times now, specifically the possible "abuse" and unfit Mods? I wouldn't say mods are here to and then do hand out warnings and bans as they individually interpret the rules of Saddo..bit of a slight to the man honestly and mods are not free roaming bat swingers abusing the neighborhood..but more to aim for a general community consensus of debate, disagreement, discussion and occasional discord minus objectionable offence to simply offend BS and troll posters or the site, fire bombing someone repeatedly, spam product, and in general knock down racist garbage or other vile crapolla on the main boards. It might all boil down to respect. We're all here to have fun and talk boxing at the end of the day, for the most part. If there's anything specific regarding perceived abuse or problems with an individual it should be talked about. Hey really we all have it good here, mods are not issued guns or clubs like real cops so no one gets critically injured . Can honestly say I've never once felt singled out or abused by any moderator, present or prior to my dye job and the majority of my lumps and judgement received have come from other random posters but you hash it out and you move on. Ideally.
