    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.

    I 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

    Another 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

    We 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?

    Mod-127 was active recently, too!

    That brings us to 5: 29, 42, 79, 100, and 127.

    And can mods be convinced to approve a post they previously disapproved?

    #1154513

    SDD- NO!

    Randomex, You could try it and find out.

    Is Mod1097 a real mod? coz otherwise how on earth was his UN approved?

    No, and look at the subtitle.

    is he a mod, just not modding right now?

    though it says “not even close”

    #1154521

    mods, can you change my subtitle? No offense, but I really hate it.

    okay

    Never 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

    “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

    Oh, one more question for the Great Mods – Why are they sharing all this information?

    #1154526

    He was blocked because he was impersonating a mod. He also may have been someone’s second username.

    “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….

    #1154528

    As 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.

    How do the sub-titles work?

    We think of them…and you are at our mercy

    #1154536

    But sometimes we take suggestions.

    This 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.

    Y.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.

    I’d love a sub-title like ‘Angel of the North’, the iconic sculpture at the entrance to Geordieland…
