No moderators!

on some boards i've participated in...if your not a moderator, people don't take your advice seriously...you can give the best advice in the world, but they jus won't listen because your not a moderator...

I'm not a moderator and I don't have 600 post, but this is an interesting topic and I just wanted to make sure that I got email notification about it. Heh, heh...

those people are just ignorant! Although I am not a moderator it brings me great pride to know that I have helped so many people in completing flash related tasks. I love helping people because I rmember what it was like for me to learn flash and awesome it would have been if I had flashkit when I was a beginner! :)

I think Jydnas has some good points. I see a lot of questions in general help and not a moderator in sight, but i'm sure they have jobs to do. However, what's really a shame is the other people that can help are in the coffee lounge
squabbling about their post status.

I'll take help from anyone that has something to teach. You are all very skilled
people.
In my opinion, Mark could give you the name 'Moderator' tomorrow, and it would mean nothing to any of the boards unless you are here to help.
If you want it, earn it. We have no time for egos.

Buddah you are right we all have jobs(i think), when im not out with mates or whatever im on flashkit trying to help others,now for that i would care for some respect but not attention, moderator status gives you that respect(dont know why)moderator or not moderator i will still go on helping people regardless because that is what i like to do( i had to learn one day). the general help forum is manned by two moderators( me and the pope) poep does agreat job an di stopped posting in there as much as i should od but that will change!!Now i am not squabbling here i am trying to eliminate a problem which will allow me and the other moderators more time on the help boards and not in here!!Post counts come up alot and i personally think they should og. But anyway i come to the coff-lounge to chill out a little, its a place for me to read whats happening in the flash world and post my views on things aswell as resting my brain form set variable this and set variable that....


Jydnas made some great points too!!!


Thanks Regards FlashGuru

Looks like you were pissed while typing that flash guru :)

Flash Guru, That's cool man. Just in case you misunderstood my post. It was directed more to the wanna be moderators concerned with post values, not script values.
You have more than earned respect on the boards as others have.
Anyway, what the hell are you doing now? I am from England and i know
what time it is there.

I became a moderator because I heard there was Free Beer!!! hahahahaha

No, I have been here since the boards started. That's the only reason my numbers are so high. In fact I use to ask if it was ok for me to post because I was worried that I would hurt the community by posting so much. Just ask Mark. I think its awesome that people are helping one another now and I don't have to post as much. I can now do what a moderator is here to do and that is, Make sure answers are right and give the odd answer here and there that people don't know. I am here for the long hull, numbers are a bunch of junk, its nice to see where you are and how far you've come but if the numbers are your life, I think you need to get a new life. Like I said in my talk at FF2000, Its all about the people and being part of something bigger than yourself. This is my passion and you can't help but to do that which you love. High posting numbers will not bring esteem or notoriety, you may be the envy of some one else who wants to have high numbers, but the proof is how many emails do you get a day asking for help, do people look for you on the boards because they can trust your answers. Do the rest of the community sites have respect for you because you help those around you. That's what the real test is. So All I have to say is if you want to pass me in numbers go for it, I hope you do. My posts have been from the beginning about helping people. I hope yours are also. Regards, Bill

Does anybody else find it ironic that this threads title is no moderators, yet this seems to have become a gathering place for them. I just thought it was kinda funny. :)

cheeky :p

What can I say!!!!!!!
I'm a Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Booooooooy!!!!!!!! hahahahaha :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Be confident in who you are and titles become less meaningful.

Thats Right
A confident person dosent subcumb to peer pressure , chase after a title,(or look like he`s desperate for one)
If you dont expect it you wont be dissapointed...
Being a Moderator in this or any other site may give you a bit of recognition and recognition is good...but dont become obsessed with it...it only turns people off..:)

tONY

.....I was actually born a Moderator.

Post counts are needed as an incentive for people to post or otherwise people wont' bother and the community dies.

Sad but true.

My feelings exactly...quite frankly, I would prefer not to have the title, regardless of number of posts...I sometimes feel like I have to help, and that being a FK Team status symbol it implies that I'm a real expert at flash, which I'm not. Can't I just have a title like...umm... "Sir Postsalot"? :D

-fishee

With my babbling I could be called "Posthumous"...:)

It's what you say.. not what you are.
