For all the new mods have strenght because only the strong will survive.

The Trolls aka the villains shall always return if the banned ones don't a newer worst one will join the boards.

I will try my best to give you guys tip off but I wont be on here as much. With college work and all, be strong remember and every good user theres a villain I have seen alot turn from good to bad on here or worst.

No idea just yet. There's some paperwork to be done, so the second candidate probably isn't done with them. happy I doubt it'll be very long.

The second candidate couldn't do it, so I have to pick someone else. I have all the paperwork all set, so once I get someone picked, it's just a matter of getting them to fax it to me..

But I have about 4 really good candidates for this spot, and I'm having a hard time making a final decision.

I'm not too worried about that, to tell you the truth. If it happens, it happens, s'all. happy I've been a mod and admin in other forums before, and I've seen quite a lot, but it also helped toughen me up a little bit wink

It takes a lot to get to me lol
Good to hear tha-.. Umm, read that. tongue I'm sure you'll do a great job. ^^



Ooh, has anyone noticed Cinder's change in username colors? I don't know if I'll be able to get used to the new colors.. >.<

Hehehe, yep.. she's doing a great job!

We went from about 200 posts per day to more than 2000 posts per day (at one point last month, we were around 5000 posts per day!), and it was just impossible to keep up with everything. The new moderators should do a lot toward bringing the forums back under control. wink

I've got to commend the moderators as I've been part of many forums. I've been part of several forums that were dictated by attention starving, power flexing unprofessional moderators. Granted at times I perhaps took a step over the line, but nothing that major. Midway's moderators by far are some of the most professional and fair I've seen in quite some time.

Congrats, Maria!
Be prepared for people to act very different around your posts shame_on_you


That's true... Some people tend to get scared of moderators for some reason. Like "Oh my god, if I say the wrong thing I'm gonna get banned.. I think it's best if I don't reply at all.", and when the mod in question logs out, "That mod is sooo boring, only cares about following the rules. I hate that kinda mod".

Hopefully, that won't happen to Jess.


I'm one of those people who doesn't fear anyone. So if a mod says something or does something I don't agree I will tell them off. If a mod makes a topic that I deem is dumb they will be told that it is dumb like everyone else on here. Accept fo sheyla she only posts info or warnings. But this one time she spam my topic when I asked her and cinder a question plain

You "tell people off"/flame them often enough, and you won't have to worry about doing it for very long.

You "tell a moderator their topic is dumb", and you definitely won't be worrying about it. You won't be worrying about it REAL fast.
