I got bored of GoT about 1 month ago, I still post there occasionally but I live here now.
I applied to be a mod, won't get it though. We just need a mod really bad.
From what I can tell Curse handles the mods, but play catch the potato with MCForum admins when it's time to decide if they need one/who to get (correct me if I'm wrong). Since mods need to be on an IRC channel all the time and it is probably a paid thing they are likely a bit picky.
It doesn't need to be a paid thing, or a full mod. I'm sure at least one of the many helpful people here would volunteer.
Of course, maybe the forum does not support mods only being allowed to moderate a single subforum/have janitorial duties? In that case, why the hell not!? ಠ_ಠ

Yeah, I always report them as well. Usually with something like "How many of these flamewars do we need to have before this topic is prohibited?"
Like you said though, they're rarely dealt with quickly, if at all. So I was surprised when that one went down so *fast*.
I was kidding about the demonic worshiping, but this whole thread was derailed from the start.
Thinking about coming a mod to simply not moderate.
Most of the threads on this forum end up that way, since the question is usually answered instantly.
That's been my thought for a while now. Makes me mad, but I hope I get modship, but probably not with over 750 people applying.

Given their content, it absolutely dwarfs ours
so it would make sense.

That could be, but the other day they did at least get around to deleting the latest OS
debateflamewar thread shortly after it was reported.ONE MORE QUESTION.
Do you live in the basement? DO YOU LIVE IN THE CLOSET IN THE BASEMENT?!
Really?
It usually takes upwards of a day for them to be deleted and I keep reporting them.
Usually when I report it's not a flamewar but by the end it is. It always happens, so let's just stop them from being made in the first place.
