Look at the first 4 pages of the members list and most mods will be listed. Helen (Admin/owner) doesn't post much, but she still probably moderates.

So that means there may be mods who were appointed at later times. That's why I wanted to know if thre's a complete roundup of the Mod Squad.


Haven't found any such convenient list. I doubt there have been any newbie mods hired on lately.

You can work backwards starting on page 915 to look for newer members with mod status that have posted a time or two. Could be a new mod hasn't posted once and is just moderating. Note that from mid page 915 to page 2192 all those members have zero posts. Lots of members that have never posted. Even by page 700, those members have only posted two times.

It is a 2nd gen Infiniti G20 (1998 to 2002). Hardly expensive and hardly high end. It is, at the newest, a 13 year old car worth $2K.

Yeah I guess the single exhaust should've given it away The high end ones always have dual exhaust.

I'm not going through a member list with 55981entries to track down the Mod Squad. By the by, my heartfelt thanks to Monsieur Quackers for diligently keeping track of membership numbers.

Then it's apparently not very important to know and doesn't really matter who or how many moderators there are. They are gonna moderate and delete threads as they see fit based on the forum rules.

Hardly rocket science ... it's right on the front forum page, left margin.

All you have to do is click on "STATUS" for the sort (it appears default is post count) as I stated on page 1.

Nice job making your point while using yourself as an example...

I'm with you there. You got a $20K to $50K car, you got a political bumper sticker, and instead of placing it on the rear glass, where it can easily be removed, you put it on the PAINT. How STUPID can a person be?


Get out more often and turn off Foxnews


Guys like you crack me up! You single out Fow News, but say nothing about any of the other lying, garbage spewing news outlets...

You are the ONLY one I have ever blocked on this site, and you know the reason why. See my previous comments here in this post.

Plus by leaving the content up it increases advertising rates to advertisers since they want to see an active site. Not to mention if anyone were to buy the site they want to see traffic.

A little heat and it comes off. A little gasoline and the remnant adhesive is off. You'd never know. Besides, he may not consider himself a curator of a rare car, eligible for Pebble Beach.

But that car looks like it's around a 2003 model year, so its resale value has to do with if it starts and runs, not on stickers and paint quality. The G20 is the same chassis as the Nissan Sentra, so it's slipped down into "beaterdom".

Aaah, thanks - guess I missed that hint. So there ya go ... 3 Admin plus 5 Moderators. Newest one in the group is SD in Jun 2010.

 

[BRZED]

Plus one undercover black ops contractor.

It might make the moderator's task easier if folks could at least remain civil to one another, even in disagreement?

It not just baffles me, but to think so is just downright LAUGHABLE!!!

BITOG doesn't need it, and the mods don't need the headache.


THANK YOU!!!

(The second most valuable thing stated in this thread.)

I don't mean to be rude here...but the current "non-political" off-topic section is already political and nasty every single day.
So in reality...we already have that. My suggestion was both a solution and an outlet.


WHY do you feel compelled to have a political "outlet" on an OIL site??

As was mentioned many times already there are PLENTY of right wing sites for you to go on and eviscerate those 'd***ed librals' to your heart's content, and get high fives and pats on the back for doing so quite vehemently (even though that very thing already happens on here do to the prevailing worldview of this site).

Same goes for hard core left wingers as well, for those so inclined.
