1.At which point in typing my post does the Mod know what I’m typing?
2.Does the Mod see when posters edit their posts before pressing “send post”?
3.What is an IP address?How does everyone else know all the usernames of one poster?Am I dense?(do NOT answer that one)
4.Does the Mod know poster genders?
5.Have the Mods considered my idea for an advice book based on the CR?
December 15, 2010 7:57 pm at 7:57 pm #720530maahMembereclipse
1) when u press send, they get it (the message, they never get IT)
2) what is the difference between question 1 and 2??
3) your computers home mailing address, u might live at 123 main st, but your computer lives at 553.454.564654.564564 and ever post comes from that address. (so do emails) (last part of question 3 NO, if you don’t know what i’m talking about your dense lol)
4) only from reading posts, if you talk girlie talk they know your gender. also see chesednames take on knowing a persons gender.
5) NO
December 15, 2010 9:11 pm at 9:11 pm #720531eclipseMemberThanks.re:#5:are you a mod?
December 15, 2010 9:18 pm at 9:18 pm #720532YW Moderator-80Memberno he is not a mod
but he has a close connection to the mods in that a great deal of his posts under this and his other screename contain at least one reference to how he doesnt like the moderation here. he doesnt usually miss a chance to say something negative.
December 15, 2010 9:21 pm at 9:21 pm #720534eclipseMemberOh.So don’t you think you guys could put out a best-seller?Everyone would buy it to see if they’re in it!
December 15, 2010 9:23 pm at 9:23 pm #720535maahMembermod-80
excuse me you wrote “great deal”, i thought you said always
what other screen name? can’t 2 ppl share an email account?
December 15, 2010 9:26 pm at 9:26 pm #720536YW Moderator-80Memberi dont understand what you are saying. are you denying that you are one person who posts under 2 different screennames?
December 15, 2010 9:34 pm at 9:34 pm #720537maahMembercorrect
December 15, 2010 9:37 pm at 9:37 pm #720538YW Moderator-80Memberit is not just ip addresses,
i know for a fact that you are chesedname
but if you wish to deny it, thats fine
December 15, 2010 9:38 pm at 9:38 pm #720539maahMemberhow do you know for a fact?
December 15, 2010 9:39 pm at 9:39 pm #720540maahMemberhow do we know you’re not moderator 1, 2, 3, etc. and you’re using 80 different screen names???
December 15, 2010 9:39 pm at 9:39 pm #720541blueprintsParticipantoooooohhh busted.
December 15, 2010 10:07 pm at 10:07 pm #720543Y.W. EditorKeymasterBecause Mod 80, is Mod 80 and Mod 80 only.
Most Mods don’t post comments, although they can do so if they wish.
It’s extremely childish to have multiple usernames, and only insecure people with issues do that. There are people (mainly one person) here who starts an argument, and then they need “weight” and lots of comments defending their (many times insane) positions.
Why people do that, we have yet to figure out.
December 15, 2010 10:12 pm at 10:12 pm #720544maahMemberThere are people (mainly one person) here who starts an argument, and then they need “weight” and lots of comments defending their (many times insane) positions.
Are you implying that i’m the one doing that?
December 15, 2010 10:20 pm at 10:20 pm #720545joe1MemberI suppose if two different people send from the same ip address the mod thinks they are the same
December 15, 2010 10:41 pm at 10:41 pm #720546eclipseMembermaybe they both go to the local public library?
December 15, 2010 11:06 pm at 11:06 pm #720547maahMemberI would like an answer, am i the one with many screen names, talking to myself? or did you mean someone else?
December 16, 2010 12:22 am at 12:22 am #720548Ma ChovasoMember“There are people (mainly one person) here who starts an argument, and then they need “weight” and lots of comments defending their (many times insane) positions. “
Omy Mod-80, are you also maah?
BUSTED!
December 16, 2010 1:27 am at 1:27 am #720549kapustaParticipantWhat exactly do the mods know?
*Haunting voice*
eeeevvvveeeerrrryyytttthhhhiinnnggg
Mods know where you live, and what you’re wearing. They were trained working for the FBI.
Seriously though, after a while of two screen names with the same IP coming on at exactly the same time, making the same sort of comments, it probably becomes obvious.
December 16, 2010 2:05 am at 2:05 am #720550jhcvivgwryParticipantoooooohhh busted. 🙂
YW Editor – If some people have a “good time” using different screen names then maybe the rest of the CR should have a good time finding out how many screen names X has.
Wha-da-ya say about that?
December 16, 2010 3:05 am at 3:05 am #720551ItcheSrulikMemberIf two people, say a guy and his basement tenant, are using the same router, they will have the same IP address to anyone who logs them. They could each be completely unaware of each others presence. The only way to tell for sure is if the person was stupid enough to register all his sock puppets under the same email address.

December 16, 2010 5:58 am at 5:58 am #720553shlomozalmanMember“Most Mods don’t post comments, although they can do so if they wish.”
I find this comment disingenuous. Mod-80 is a highly prolific commenter. The practice of both commenting and moderating on a specific thread is a clear conflict of interest and should be disallowed. One cannot be a player and referee in the same game.
December 16, 2010 7:49 am at 7:49 am #720554RuffRuffMemberThe IP address is the address of your computer given to you as you connect. Your service provider gives you an IP address. Unless you bought a permanent IP address, it will always be another one.
I have another question. Does any mod or anyone at all read the stuff that comes in from the ‘contact us’ page?
December 16, 2010 10:04 am at 10:04 am #720555YW Moderator-77MemberOne cannot be a player and referee in the same game.
You can if you own the ball. Or the field.
December 16, 2010 12:36 pm at 12:36 pm #720558real-briskerMemberruffruff – “Does anyone read the stuff from the contact page” I had the same question, I have sent numerous emails and was never answered.
Actually, in all fairness, your not being very honest.
We never received one email from you, now of course maybe you are using another one of your 67 different names….
YWN receives thousands of emails each day, and reads every one of them. We respond to what we feel is necessary.
You can always contact our offices at 718-305-6020.
Our office staff will always try and assist you.
December 16, 2010 2:28 pm at 2:28 pm #720559RuffRuffMemberBeing blocked for no reason is not necessary? I really don’t know what warrants such behavior. The message says to contact the site administrator, but there isn’t even an automated acknowledgement, whatever that would be worth.
If you really want “all fairness”, address me, not him (unless you’ll start claiming that I’m him). Do you really rather phone calls over emails?
December 16, 2010 11:04 pm at 11:04 pm #720562ItcheSrulikMemberMost ISPs give static IP addresses, especially for broadband connections which are always on.
December 16, 2010 11:54 pm at 11:54 pm #720563chaimssParticipantSo getting back to the OP’s original question…
1. Until you hit submit everything’s still on your computer. Once you hit “send post” it gets sent for moderation.
2.See #1.
3.An IP address is how your internet service provider knows which computer asked for which information, and they can send the response back to the right computer.
4.It’s usually not that hard to figure out after a while 😉
5.THAT you’d have to ask them…
December 17, 2010 1:14 am at 1:14 am #720564Ma ChovasoMember“To what we feel is necessary”……
Now that is not exactly “all fairness”
Its yeshivish logic i guess.
December 17, 2010 5:03 pm at 5:03 pm #720565smartcookieMemberRuff Ruff, although your computer is not always assigned the same IP address, it usually is the same.
December 19, 2010 2:28 am at 2:28 am #720566mw13Participanteclipse:
“How does everyone else know all the usernames of one poster?”
Sometimes the Mods let us know, but most of the time its just a wild guess…
“There are people (mainly one person) here who starts an argument, and then they need “weight” and lots of comments defending their (many times insane) positions…”
“now of course maybe you are using another one of your 67 different names…”
Mods, would you mind posting a list of all usernames being used by this one poster?
December 19, 2010 3:14 am at 3:14 am #720567eclipseMemberThank you,all.
December 23, 2010 9:57 pm at 9:57 pm #720568klachMemberhow many mods are there?
December 23, 2010 9:59 pm at 9:59 pm #720569YW Moderator-80Memberusually somewhere in the single digits
December 23, 2010 10:01 pm at 10:01 pm #720570klachMemberso why are you 80 and not 9 or 13
December 23, 2010 10:01 pm at 10:01 pm #720571YW Moderator-80Membergood question!
December 23, 2010 10:03 pm at 10:03 pm #720572klachMemberthanks
December 23, 2010 10:07 pm at 10:07 pm #720573klachMemberdo mods know what the corresponding email address is for a user name? If they don’t, could they find out?
December 23, 2010 10:44 pm at 10:44 pm #720574klachMemberare any mods married?
and how much do you get paid?
December 23, 2010 10:46 pm at 10:46 pm #720575YW Moderator-80Membersome men some women some married some not.
our pay is the satisfaction of a job well done.
and i think we get a free t-shirt or mug or something at the end of the year.
December 23, 2010 11:24 pm at 11:24 pm #720576klachMemberwhere are the rest of the mods – how come they don’t post so much
December 23, 2010 11:38 pm at 11:38 pm #720577YW Moderator-80Memberthey’re busy moderating, not posting, that is their job after all.
and they’re shy
December 23, 2010 11:57 pm at 11:57 pm #720578LemonySnicketParticipantHow does one become a Mod? Where do the Mods train? Iv’e heard of Med school but never Mod school. Are you all centrally located in a giant corporate building or are you each Moding from home? Do you Mods know the Mods from VIN? Are you Mods rivales with VIN Mods? So many questions, so little time…
December 24, 2010 12:19 am at 12:19 am #720579YW Moderator-80Membermed school? morons!
mod school rejects go to med school
we mod from moderator central a huge skyscraper located in CLASSIFIED
VIN? never heard of it
