It really isn't that. Before Jay was modded his posting was so bad people were literally sure he was a troll that was going to be banned within a few days. That reaction wasn't bull****, that was because his posts were TERRIBLE and he had already earned a bad reputation.

Then we find out he's a mod all of a sudden? Yeah. Expect a bad reaction.

I had something fun planned for April, but maybe I won't put in the effort now.
pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ffffffff

You are a kick ass mod. Dont listen to anything or anyone. Especially with organizing the weekly themed threads and many other things. We need more like you in fact.

Thanks Rezz, though if I remember correctly, I was one of those freshies that was modded when you also applied.

Yea but as I also mentioned not all of them were bad. I think you are the only one or maybe 1/2 that are actually left. Maybe the other is Freebase, but he is a fantastic mod as well. I shall speak of this no more I feel the ban hammer near!

Certain people when they enter a new forum for the first time and are not used to the way things work and the nuances of the forum etc. They can come-off as bit antagonistic, especially when they start giving out different opinions or vibes and are also not really susbstantiating their opinions either, I wouldn't call this being a troll, I would just call it a newbie trying to find his feet a bit and most either do after a while or just end up leaving or getting banned. A troll is different, this is somebody on a mission to cause problems and usually hijacks threads to do so or starts up threads guranteed to cause a stir. Classic trollls have included Cherry Picker (I think that was the name, the guy that stated every band had ripped off the Beatles and rock music didn't really exist before them) The Virgin, Erasertime and Franco Pepe Kalle, none of these guys were/are insulting but they knew hold to invest time in a thread, that was sure to antagonize a certain amount of members on here.

For the second time: There is more to the moderation of a forum than being involved in the community and helping its growth. It's great when you have a team which can both "moderate" and help the forum develop, but in my own experience of hiring mods (forum with 6 million posts, 100,000 registered users and 3,000 active users, and a three-tiered team of over 30 moderators, I know what I'm talking about), you can't always get people who have everything.


Satch has said it before, and I know other people have as well - the way mods are recruited on this forum is great, for one aspect of moderation. When it comes to dealing out the letter of the law, it IS harder to be just when you know the people involved. It DOES lead to a group where the "accepted" members of the community receive better treatment than outcasts/newbies. It's generally not intentional, but even the most just of people generate small bias over time.

So Jayshreddz didn't make the best of first impressions. I honestly couldn't care less under the circumstances. he has implied that his job here has nothing to do with what is considered here to be the standard moderating role. There is far, far more to the running of a forum than being well-liked, responsible and contributing. Noone here knows anything about him or his qualifications, so as far as I'm concerned he could be far more qualified for his particular role than any of the volunteer mods here.

Finally, this is presumably a source of income for the owners of the website. Presumably, they want someone they trust relatively involved in the moderating and the development of the site, in order to maximise profit. A random volunteer from the forum isn't going to necessarily have their best interests at heart.

In all seriousness I thought it was a joke because I thought he was a troll...
