We have work, just like normal people, aside from our moderator dutities, but we still strive to do our work.

Moderators should be regarded as normal members, but with privledge to move threads, close threads, and do the orderly things that the vBulletin software allows moderators to do. Don't see us as some body of power that have the ability to improve the forum over night.

A large part of making this community better lies in the members. People should contribute more often to answering questions, not just asking questions. Don't ridicule people for asking stupid questions. If a post is in the wrong forum, use the report link and a moderator will get to it. Don't mock others for the inability to code. With practice comes percision.

ok and for my final point of the hour, this is where we disagree and as we're both admins we will ofcourse differ our opinions on a moderators duty towards a site, however we (being a few of the regs here) recently had a debate over on .com regarding moderators, this that and the other where wayne did indeed say; that a moderators only job isn't to police a site, it's also to stimulate activity (more or less a quote) just like a fosset/tap you use it to increase the flow and also to decrease the flow, being that he's the site co-ordinator, i assumed he wasn't just talkign fro the fun of it :ermm: (and just for the record, no it don'thave to be in the form of hack releasing)
