...Is this what happens when normal TF'ers get given the 'Dark Sunglasses & Moderator status'?

...Is there a noticeable change when ordinary Joe becomes Mr.Moderator? Or can people resist the temptation of authoritarian metamorphosis.

The people in the legendary experiment believed they would not be affected, but an experiment scheduled for 2 weeks, was abrubptly ended after 6 days!!

I don't know...My first day "on the job"

* Walks away swinging his baton and whistling*

...which is where the question 'hatched' from

...I'm going to do my own psychological experiment...

"The Moderator Effect"

Overview:

Dannyboy has always been a friendly, amusing not partisan memeber of TF who has suddenly been given the "Moderator" key....

Objective:

To determine whether becoming a "Moderator" changes your outlook on life.

Reason for the experiment:

Many moderators are made from friendly TF'ers who either go crazy or disappear. Why is this?

Having studied Psychology and undertsanding the concepts surruonding such changes, I will be closely monitoring the "Moderator Effect" and it's new edition, Dannyboy.

Any observations made should be in a sterile, controlled environment...

Gullivers per chance?

Dannyboy - he made TWO spelling mistakes - yellow card his a*s!

(And the apostrophe's wrong too. Ban him.)

I'm still trying to work out all the shiny new buttons I can press... :shock:

...Good...good.....my parallel experiment has produced results already

"Do people who want to become moderators, suffer from being pedantic?"

Overview

Certain members of TF display "make me a moderator" characteristics. Similar to those who chose to be "special policemen" when they can't get on the force.

Objective

To find out if this phenomenon is active in the TF forum community.

Reason

It's cold outside and I have time

I thought there were only two - yellow and red... (use the red one!)

Without giving the game away, there's alot more we can do... :twisted:

I have this vision of a 'Moderator' as someone who is constantly bombarded with PM's from hot girls....

...someone who's phone is always beeping from women wanting a bumping..

...and silk sheets in the bedroom with "You're in my bed now" embroidered in gold thread....

...Is this true?

working for the forces of good on TF is like pissing in the river and watching to see if the water rises.

tilt on, Senor Quixote.

.... but you didn't hatch a party called super drunk, which you can remind everyone of every 2nd day till the end of days.

pus: thick opaque usually yellowish-white fluid matter formed by suppuration and composed of exudate containing white blood cells, tissue debris, and microorganisms

puss: a carnivorous mammal (Felis catus) long domesticated as a pet for catching rats and mice

puss: the external parts of the female genital organs (vulgar)

thank you i'm pedantic all week

but you know that sometimes we have to burst the pus-filled puss.... yikes..
