Do mods, like diapers need to be changed with some frequency, and for the same reason? 3

I'm just curious how people feel about this? And honestly as long as I've been a member, I don't understand what the process is to become one, whether they are ever reviewed based on their participation, complaints, etc. Are they compensated for their services? I don't mean this as a troll thread, so please don't close this. I want to have a genuine conversation about this and learn more in the process.
I guess I'm all about questioning authority, and I understand authority never likes to be questioned, so please mods, lets have a conversation about this. I think some transparency is deserved.

I was a little alarmed when I flagged a post from a certain mod, and that flag was responded to by the same mod! That doesn't seem right.

It's a benign oligarchy. Group of people with the power to pick new members. Like the illuminati, only they toke more and don't wear suits.

I was a mod for a while. I posted a lot in ODD and i was asked one day. That was about it.
I went MIA for a while and did not post to the shroomery for a few years and got de-modded along the way.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough members who are suitable for a mod position to be changing them frequently. Most of them do a good job though.

I like the mods around here. They aren't constant - I've noticed they generally seem to "de-mod" people who don't have the time to keep up with their responsibilities.
As long as the mods remain sane and responsive I don't see what the problem is.
I'd kinda like to be one someday.

I will say there are certainly those who do a good job. I think the best examples of this I can think of right now would be Wiccan Seeker and Acidic Sloth. Both frequently participate in threads, and neither wield their power with ego. I think there are those who abuse their power, and there are also those who seem by some form of tenure to never participate, but manage to hold their post.

I'm afraid I can't take credit for that. I think I stole it from another shroomerite's sig, but it was about politicians.

The Pub has 14 . The ones that post do a fairly good job of it.(modding, that is) We sometimes think trolls and puppets are amusing, but they have to deal with it. I've met 2 of them IRL,(mods, not puppets)...and I still for apology from :pris: (gave me 3 well deserved points ), and a post from :ripple: . . .

Much like the presidency, modding is not a job that's suitable for anybody that wants it.

the mods here have secret ninja powers and can secretly accidentally thangs
but they're usually pretty ok
although fresh blood would be nice every now and then
