No, but as someone who has over 45 500 posts, they do have control over an obviously significant part of your life. Weirdo.

And yet when a mod jokes about abusing their mod-like powers it doesn't actually breed resentment because there's barely a social difference between mods and members.

They don't know what MB is or who Tristan is and it's gonna look pretty weird if I tell them I also handed our product over to this guy who I don't know who told me he wants to make bootleg cassettes.
But if there's a problem with this particular track, then why even bother to talk about it?

I mean, if you're publishing something with your friends, then why would you want to publish t someplace else entirely on your own?

I believe that hasn't always been the case. Some of the people who spend a lot of time on forums aren't always the most socially well-adjusted. A lot of them are gonna be weird, a little awful or out of sorts on occasion, but it doesn't mean their presence on the forums isn't net positive.

With such members, we've had some situations that turned more volatile than I thought necessary. They may have ended with long time members getting permabanned, people for whom MB was obviously an important part of their life. These guys were in large part to blame for the behaviour that got them banned, but sometimes it didn't help that a mod leaned into the drama and fanned the flames. It's not great to escalate a conflict where you're safe, but your opponent risk banishment from perhaps the only online community where they feel included.

I agree that jokes about bans or abusing mod powers can be fine, but a lot of people read these posts and it's not that unusual for someone to not get the joke or for an argument to start. You know how much we like to argue and misconstrue etc. here.

I always thought modding should be done at some emotional distance. You're doing it as a service to the users of the board, not for your own benefit. So your actions should reflect that.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

back to topic
I never recorded anything before. If I can get something down on tape before the deadline, what's your address or P. O. box so I can mail you the tape cassette? ... or are you looking for reel to reel master tapes?
