I'm just curious, what actual growing experience (in years, not grows) do you all have? I have my doubts, and I need reassurance.
I had that image verification for a minute last week but now I don't have to do it anymore. Strange. The T&T thing was just an example. Calm down.True, but I didn't post this question in T&T, but here in MJ Growing, where I would like to believe that, since they are "moderating", part of the job description would include fact checking on some of the horrible advice that is sometimes given out, or even their own advice.
I can easily guess which ones do and do not, but I want to be proven wrong, lol.
(and wtf is up with this image verification crap for every post, I'm a member, and my beet-red eyes don't work so well)
i had to write the damn code every time i posted but i went into my options and was able to change it try messing around with thatTrue, but I didn't post this question in T&T, but here in MJ Growing, where I would like to believe that, since they are "moderating", part of the job description would include fact checking on some of the horrible advice that is sometimes given out, or even their own advice.

Hell yeah, Ur the best....hope ya have more shit growing nowI once spilled some soda in my apartment and grew some mushrooms, does that count?
I've modded on a few sites and am an admin currently on that me and a buddy started a few years ago.
My experience in a nutshell on another site :
Being a mod/admin sucks. People complain constantly, talk about you behind your back and you deal with constant drama from people. Keep in mind, there's really only #1 main rule we enforce on that site, which is don't link to people similar sites (we're a niche social network with a webcam chat).
I have people complaining that we're ban freaks when we've banned about 4-5 people for doing exactly that in the last 3 or so months.
There's only 2 other admins, no other mods on this site. Of us 3, I'm the only one regularly on, the other competent admin is the owner of the site but has a sketch-net so in most cases I have to make day to day decisions. The funny thing is people go around my back and complain to the other two admins, one of which who is not mentally competent. The other admin (owner) is awesome but he has a life, a full time and part time job, he shouldn't be bothered considering he only has enough to get on maybe 10 minutes a day. Most of the time people complain to the two others because they KNOW they can get away with telling half truths.
Thats the tip of the iceburg. I have people constantly trying to suck up to me to get mod, people talking shit because I don't give them mod. People trying to start site wars with each other to get others banned. As much as people complain they want mod, none of them do the only thing they're supposed to do which is delete chinese/arab/mexican spam and accounts. They just want it so they can ban people, and that they're unbannable.
I'm kind of venting here, but seriously, I fucking hate being admin and having to deal with peoples crap. The only reason I do it is because the owner is my friend and has helped me out A LOT in the past.
Just my perspective, pretty off topic though.
I've been an owner, mod, and admin at multiple vBulletin sites, and in my experience the most effective mods are the ones who are passionate about the subject at hand. As such, mods are typically knowledgeable in their field, but not always as much as the general membership of the forum may believe. Take that for whatever it's worth to ya.
To be fair, that definition isn't applicable to internet forum moderators. It's intended for live real in-person moderators.Definition of MODERATOR
1: one who arbitrates : mediator
2: one who presides over an assembly, meeting, or discussion: as
a : the presiding officer of a Presbyterian governing body
b : the nonpartisan presiding officer of a town meeting
c : the chairman of a discussion group
(oh, and just to be clear, I IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM WANT TO BE A MODERATOR)
