I think you just fucked my mind. "

But who watches the mods who watch the mods?  "

we need Mod Mod Mods "

But then who watches those mods? "

" Me and a friend are going to set up a forum based around racing cars. The only problem is we're not sure how we're going to go about appointing moderators. Since Giant Bomb is the only forum I'm a member of, I thought I would ask you guys what you think on Giant Bomb's approach to moderating. Do you like the system? Do you think the moderators always make good decisions? Let me know, I'd love to know how to best handle it before we launch the forum. "

" I think the mods are idiots. "

I'll start to work on my " DREBIN_893 is banned, WHY?? " user icon. "

I think when I get banned there'll be no need to wonder why. "

I love the fact that you've already embraced your eventual ban. "

Considering your avatar I'd have thought this approach rather transparent. And unwise.  I choose to show my displeasure with moderators by writing an Allegorical Farmyard Adventure where pigs represent community figureheads. That's much more subtle. "

" i think while its good to have moderators there should be a higher level of mods that approve what the mods mod. also just because someone posts allot does not mean they should be a mod. "

Well, you know how things are.  The thing is that if they ban me then it's purely because they're the ones getting insulted. If I said these things about, say, Jayge, they wouldn't pay any attention. But because I'm hurting the big-bad-mods egos, suddenly it matters. "
