LOL Suni, Humor not everyone gets it!just going to go through and answer some questions etc.
No , we had mods in the past who had the mod abilities and uhm they greatly abused them we have people go off the rails ban like 50 people for no reason etc,
I dont give a shit about your political affliations i care about your post history etc.
We would not ever implement forum area for banned users etc, because most of the time prior to banning ands getting warnings I typically receive extremely violent behavior like threats of raping, killing my child, killing me, etc. over post removals
so im not going to sit there and have an area where people can take out their hatred of women and their mother out on me
Moderating here has always been a voluntary position im giving people the chance to either do it anon or public, its not snitching, its greatly helping our staff and forum stay online active and a community.
We work hard here
Threatening women, children and people in general on the internet takes a special kind of dickhead.

Whats the pay like?
mods cant ban people
if you read the post it says its a volunteer position always has been
whats the problem you got?
if you dont wanna mod and you just wanna make snarky comments you dont need to post its not for you you can just move on
Remember by bashing the idea of a mod youre taking down3 people who have worked here for over 10 + years with alot of hard work and effort to keep riu running voluntarily ,

I never realised RIU was a not for profit. Is that true? I often wondered about the .org actually...if you dont wanna mod and you just wanna make snarky comments you dont need to post

Ok thanks, so why are the mod positions volunteer in that case? I'm not trying to be facetious just seems a bit odd that a for profit business would advertise for positions that are volunteer. Is that even legal is there no awards or minimum wage requirements in your jurisdiction?
We are asking people not advertising if theyd like to volunteer to be apart of our moderation team, this is quite frankly the same on every forum, reddit subthread, facebook group etc. none of those have every been paid positions.
Ive never known a moderation position on any forum ,group etc being paid
There is nothing illegal about someone volunteering to report a few posts and help clean up the website
Please stop
Youre incorrect about the law.
The law is that the owner of a facebook page or in this instance our website has to post their polices on hate speech which we have had since 2006, weare well within the law stop spamming this thread please
a facebook moderator is completely different than someone who does a facebook group
We are not a mulitbillion corporation like facebook
Were Rollitup, the mods at facebook do a way different job,yourejust trying to cause issues here
