Hey Aleeve,

Having ScottW as a target definitely makes a lot of members "creative".

I think 'creative' is probably the best word

Although, Bob, I seem to remember he brought it upon himself in the first place, so he only has himself to blame...

I heard that moderators have to take a lot of abuse, but this is ridiculous! I feel like a second-hand piñata. :-(

ScottW, so they got you into the "box". I wish you well and have fun. One of your first tasks should be to ask your predecessor to publish his "experience report". And maybe you can make one at the end too. Would be interesting for all of us.

@GoldenQueen: merci, ma chère. At least someone is being kind to me.

@whs, thanks for the moral support. I'll start working on a journal.

@whs: I wish I could say there was a full experience report to publish but the truth is I was more busy with other things in the month of March then I expected and did not do much moderating at all.
I just marked a couple posts as solved and answered some questions.

Hmm, so you were kind of a "discount" moderator - LOL. Well, at least it did not keep you too much from doing other things. Maybe ScottW will have some "war stories" at the end of the month.

Rorschach's ScottW's journal:

"April 1st, 2009. First day as moderator. Worked over by some of the regulars. They are like angry mob with pitchforks and firebrands, except mob is made of circus clowns. Scary thought."

"Has it only been one day? Seems longer. At least April is not one of the long months. Lucky."

So you never thought it strange that you started on 1st April ? That short month could last forever :)

From Angry Mob Clown

To: Cross Dresser

We're coming after you with pitchforks and firebrands.

Bob, I'm liking "Angry Mob Clown" for your custom title! I'm hoping that I will be safe from said mob for a while, as they all seem to be at the G20 summit and/or en route to the NATO summit.

If I get "Angry Mob Clown", then in all fairness you should get "Cross Dresser".

Do guest mods have the same pay scale as the full timers? Benefits? And what do you say to a cross dressing angry mob clown?

@Hatryst, thanks.

@Tom, they are paying me double what they pay the other MODs! Twice as many benefits! You say: "Why do you have a pitchfork?"

So does that mean you're in the Mods Union, or maybe even the UAW?

Clearly your inflated wages and benefits are a major factor in the global economic crisis.

Next thing you know you'll be askng Congress for TARP money.
