I hope you’re not American, because if you stay up until 3 AM posting, and you posted 6 hrs. ago, then that means you either woke up or were still up at 6 AM. Not getting 4 hrs of sleep is one thing, but try for 3 1/2, at least.
October 23, 2014 4:18 pm at 4:18 pm #1154503screwdriverdelightParticipantI omitted that you also posted 4 hrs. ago, so even if you’re from California, and 6 AM is reall 3 AM, you’d still have been up at 5 AM
October 24, 2014 3:22 am at 3:22 am #1154504cozimjewishMemberLike I said, I may….or may NOT be American…. 😉
October 24, 2014 3:45 am at 3:45 am #1154505cozimjewishMemberJust kidding. Yeeeessss I am NOT American! And PROUD!!!! (I’m sure America is great though 😉 )
October 24, 2014 3:46 am at 3:46 am #1154506Little FroggieParticipantAnother good question for the mods – if a post gets deleted, is there a record of it? Can it be reinstated?
Yes, there’s a record of it. Too many deleted posts will get someone blocked. -79
October 24, 2014 6:20 pm at 6:20 pm #1154508RandomexMemberWe can now add Mod-79 to the list of recently-active (and recently-added) mods.
Let’s go deeper on Little Froggie’s question: If a post is rejected (or deleted after being approved), are the mods still able to access it?
Let’s go deeper on Mod-79’s answer: How does that work? Is there an absolute limit that must not be reached over the course of one’s career, or is it a certain number within a certain time period?
October 24, 2014 6:49 pm at 6:49 pm #1154509RandomexMemberMod-127 was active recently, too!
That brings us to 5: 29, 42, 79, 100, and 127.
October 24, 2014 7:09 pm at 7:09 pm #1154511screwdriverdelightParticipantAnd can mods be convinced to approve a post they previously disapproved?
October 26, 2014 2:20 am at 2:20 am #1154513(Not a)Mod1097MemberSDD- NO!
Randomex, You could try it and find out.
October 26, 2014 2:26 am at 2:26 am #1154515showjoeParticipanti think the mods are just playing with us, and every time picking a new number
October 26, 2014 2:33 am at 2:33 am #1154517cozimjewishMemberIs Mod1097 a real mod? coz otherwise how on earth was his UN approved?
No, and look at the subtitle.
October 26, 2014 2:45 am at 2:45 am #1154518showjoeParticipantwhy do you let users fake to be mods?
we don’t
October 26, 2014 2:48 am at 2:48 am #1154519Letakein GirlParticipantThat’s gotta be a record! This guy got a subtitle 6 minutes after creating his screennname. Wow!
October 26, 2014 2:53 am at 2:53 am #1154520showjoeParticipantis he a mod, just not modding right now?
though it says “not even close”
October 26, 2014 2:54 am at 2:54 am #1154521(Not a)Mod1097Membermods, can you change my subtitle? No offense, but I really hate it.
okay
October 26, 2014 2:57 am at 2:57 am #1154522RandomexMemberNever mind – we’ll do it some other time.
Question – are posts with “for mod read only” (no quotes) at the top
seen by the mods sooner than normal posts?
no
October 26, 2014 3:55 am at 3:55 am #1154523cozimjewishMember“we don’t”
Doesn’t look like it!
I only let it through because it seemed so obviously not a mod. I guess I was wrong. – 29
October 26, 2014 4:00 am at 4:00 am #1154524cozimjewishMemberWhy is he blocked all of a sudden?! And btw I love his new UN!!
October 26, 2014 4:38 am at 4:38 am #1154525Little FroggieParticipantOh, one more question for the Great Mods – Why are they sharing all this information?
October 26, 2014 4:42 am at 4:42 am #1154526YW Moderator-29 👨💻ModeratorHe was blocked because he was impersonating a mod. He also may have been someone’s second username.
October 26, 2014 11:47 am at 11:47 am #1154527cozimjewishMember“I only let it through because it seemed so obviously not a mod.”
The only reason I actually wondered whether or not he was a mod was because the CR is usually very strict about NOT IMPERSONATING MODS…..This seemed to contradict that….
October 26, 2014 1:51 pm at 1:51 pm #1154528YW Moderator-29 👨💻ModeratorAs I said, it seemed pretty obvious to me (look at my UN vs. his). As SOON as I saw it wasn’t, I changed it. I was even in the middle of a Hatzalah call at the time but felt this was more pressing.
October 26, 2014 1:57 pm at 1:57 pm #1154529cozimjewishMember“I was even in the middle of a Hatzalah call at the time but felt this was more pressing.”
LOL 😀 why do I get the feeling you’re making fun of me? 😉
October 26, 2014 2:01 pm at 2:01 pm #1154530ED IT ORParticipant@ mod29 serious lolage;
“Here one sec, just hold this rag over the artery whilst i approve this post”
October 26, 2014 5:04 pm at 5:04 pm #1154531Little FroggieParticipantWhy would anyone impersonate a Mod?!
December 30, 2015 7:14 pm at 7:14 pm #1154534HashemisreadingParticipantI was waiting for Hatzalah, now I know why it was taking so long!
(But b”H my wife still made it to the hospital in time to take the epidural)

June 3, 2016 12:38 am at 12:38 am #1154535Geordie613ParticipantHow do the sub-titles work?
We think of them…and you are at our mercy
June 3, 2016 12:44 am at 12:44 am #1154536YW Moderator-29 👨💻ModeratorBut sometimes we take suggestions.
June 3, 2016 12:59 am at 12:59 am #1154537JosephParticipantSuggestion:
Joseph
MVP of the CR
Keep dreaming 🙂
June 3, 2016 1:38 am at 1:38 am #1154538wannabegood7Participantcould u give me a cute username??? pretty please???
June 3, 2016 1:38 am at 1:38 am #1154539wannabegood7Participanthow do people become moderators? sounds like an entertaining career. is there like a sign up thingy?
June 3, 2016 1:58 am at 1:58 am #1154540wannabegood7Participantpleeeeeeeaaaassseeeee, mods???
June 3, 2016 3:26 am at 3:26 am #1154541wannabegood7ParticipantThaankssss!!!!
June 3, 2016 11:47 am at 11:47 am #1154542blubluhParticipantThis whole debate over who is and who isn’t a moderator and how they function reminds me of a similar debate on a computer designer newsgroup some 30 years ago.
The debate back then was whether one of the more prolific participants was a real person or an experimental artificial intelligence engine (akin to the famous Turing test experiments.)
There was never any resolution to the debate, but it was fun to read the evidence proponents of each side offered to support their claim.
June 3, 2016 2:55 pm at 2:55 pm #1154543Little FroggieParticipantComputers… 30 years ago?!?
June 3, 2016 3:46 pm at 3:46 pm #1154544Y.W. EditorKeymasterHow can I become a Mod?
June 3, 2016 4:52 pm at 4:52 pm #1154545ukguyinEYParticipantPleeeeease can I have a subtitle
June 3, 2016 7:49 pm at 7:49 pm #1154546Avram in MDParticipantY.W. Editor,
How can I become a Mod?
I’ve heard that if one’s kids have two playdates with Joseph’s kids and still get invited back, he instantly becomes a Mod. Others say just one playdate with a re-invite.
June 4, 2016 11:36 pm at 11:36 pm #1154547ukguyinEYParticipantThaaaanks mods
June 7, 2016 3:55 pm at 3:55 pm #1154548Geordie613ParticipantI’d love a sub-title like ‘Angel of the North’, the iconic sculpture at the entrance to Geordieland…
