Here is me working:

I don't get this thread, what are you trying to say that is worthy of discussion?

Is it hard to be a moderator? Nope. I don't see how it could be hard.
Any suggestions for enforcing a fair attitude? Yeah, a ban.

Moving to RT before I close it, to see if this is going anywhere.
-_O No,it's not hard...not hard until you get a lot of trolls invading your forum (lmfao,personal experience on a rp forum)

But that thread looked to rude imo.
Centuries Of Damn
Ehh... The life of a local moderator in Replays is pretty quiet, if you ask me. There's only the occasional thread that needs locking/moving/something else. And with that miniscule workload shared between four people, saying that it's hard would be a massive lie. =P
<Blam|Homework> oiubt veubg
various places to find me lol
There's a possible disaster that can occur though. Not likely, but it's something I think about a lot.

If you wish to delete a thread, it will ask you to relog to verify this request. You recently changed your password, but you forget that you even did.

You attempt to relog, but after 4 unsuccessful login attempts, you're sitting there still typing your old password very slowly with a WTF look on your face. After the 5th attempt, login is disabled for 15 minutes. A wild pornbot appears, and you're the only one online/paying attention. You'll have to sit there for like, 15 minutes just watching the bots spew porn around. You go on IRC, but mods are asleep.

After the pornbots are gone, you're under heavy scrutiny from everyone from just sitting there while porn was being thrown around, and you're all "I can explain!"

tl;dr

PlayerID57: Just keep doing what you're doing really. It's not hard at all.

Being a mod isn't hard. You just lock threads and ban Jaredvcxz. Nothing to it.
i liek turtelz xd
Being an admin is the pits though. If you look at the ban log, you'll see that they have to deal with a shitload of scammers/hackers all the time. The days are never too far apart from one stack of bans to the next, so apparently these scammers/hackers just just keep em coming.

Indeed.

Cannot add anything thar,also it seems like General Art and Art got very organized last few days. Spambots seem to like Rapid Threads and other forums more
