Yeah you've even got a little fuchsia M inside of a circle for MODERATOR next to your name now

If I were you I'd start banning everyone to teach the mod a lesson about fucking around and finding out lmao (sorry everyone) start with the most prolific posters and commenters for maximum effect. When their Community is a shell of what it used to be because there's no approved users anymore they might regret it.

Hey I guess I should probably update my CV to include "Internet moderator" now...

Kidding aside, I don't want to disrupt the community and the members just to get noticed. I don't even know how I got to be a moderator in the first place, and I'm not sure a mod can just pick anyone and make them a mod without that person's approval.

With such communities, there is barely anything to do as a moderator. Once every year, someone will whine at you because another one is "rude". You just ignore him. Maybe an advertisement or two to remove. That's all.

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
