Well said Exeat
Also, I want to clear some things up ( for... I don't know how many times I've done this, but it's too many )...
The approval list has two criteria;
1) Time
2) Post-Count
Now, the
ONLY person who knows the numbers of these two things is the Admin ( Rich ). The Mods don't know, the users don't know, the old buddah down the road doesn't know.
The time-limit is considered before the post-count limit is, which means that going post-mad in the first few days to try and get rid of the newb slap wont work.
Conversly, waiting for a month, then going post mad will have the same effect.
When we "Noob Slap" someone, this is an entirely time-based system.
I can say that I've never slapped someone for more than about 5 days, which is nothing in the grand-scheme of things. If you're a complete nerd, and have no life, then you may go crazy and kill yourself, which, quite frankly, would be an improvement to the gene pool.
Finnaly, if you don't like what we do, then go away. ( I want to say some bad, bad words here, but as Benny pointed out, there are younger users on this forum ).
We are NOT paid to do this, I take at least a good 3 or 4 hours of EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK to come here, and moderate the forums, reading posts that I have absolutly no interest in, just to make sure that everything is going smoothly, and there's nothing that needs removing, etc.
If you have a complaint, take it up with the Admin, who is the one appointing the Mod powers.

Since when?
There's a BOLD button at the bottom left of every post you make that says "EDIT OWN"... Use it.
It's not hard to miss, and it sure isn't hard to click, so what's so hard about editing your post!?
Quite frankly, I don't like you.
