I read in the new (but apparently not up yet) "board basics" section that there is a new position called Head Moderator. Are there any plans for this to be implemented, or is it a gamespot only thing?

I'd nominate either Sash or Tiger if we had a voice in it.

"...love on arrival. She comes when she comes." - Martin Fry

Do you mean level 53, Lead Moderator, a moderator that assumes some administrative responsibilities?

I'm pretty sure that's a GS position.

Exist is such a dramatic term...

They exist. You just can't see them. Kinda like air.

You know how with secret mods, you know they're mods but not who they are? This is kind of the other way around.

I do hope you're not implying lead moderators are in gaseous form.

So we know who they are, but they have an alt or something that's a lead moderator?
---

Mm-mm. An interesting way to put it.

Nah. You know they're mods. You just don't know whether or not they're lead mods.

Oh, if any were actually appointed, they'd be free to say as much, I'd imagine. And all the moderators would know that.

Since Kat's not around right now, I figure it's my job to scare the hell out of the userbase at large. :)

Wouldn't a General Moderator be above a Specialist Moderator? Cause the General Mods can handle everything, but Specialist Mods are tied to one board (but can still handle other marked messages). Also, under Lead Moderator, it says "General Moderators who.....", so is that a hint that the Lead Moderator is a General Moderator?
---

The lead mod is....

I was under the impression all "specialist" meant that they just handle one kind of violation first, not that they're tied to anything.

I meant tied as in, more assigned to than other categories
---

How would that make general mods "above" a specialist?
---

That they are free to handle whatever they want

Yeah but, so are specialist moderators..

Nice observation, but probably doesn't mean anything, unfortunately.

All I can say is it is not me.

Maybe if you get 85 other mods to post if it was them you would eventually figure out unless some lied.

Yeah but.. the mods aren't... liars.. are they?!

Gasp!
---

Or until the lead mod just steps forward and announces who he is.

But what are the odds of that occuring?

---

Since mods are volunteers, I don't know if any of them have enough spare time to do administrative duties as well as moderate here.. that might be very time consuming.

Hmm so it's Sash then.

I don't see why not. Seems moot at this point, though entertaining when topics like this arise.

I'm tired of chasing my dreams. I'm just gonna ask them where they're going and hook up with them later

Hey Mr Lead Mod! Look at this tasty pie!

Not very good, really.

And one must consider the fact that there may be more than one of them.
