My choices for best mods would have to be:
KB - It's quite obvious that the guy is almost ALWAYS on here, posts quite frequently, drives tons of discussion, gives incredible reviews, is always thinking about improvement within the forums, and is always infracting everywhere. The guy's an animal.
Norcal/Lee - I'm really torn between the two.
Norcal is one of my good friends and is really on here quite a lot. Meanwhile, he does a ton of cleanup control and posting within the forums. However, I feel that most of the posting that he's been doing lately has been short, sarcastic, and borderline-abrasive to some users. I just think that G-Mods should always set an example for other posters when giving their thoughts in threads. Also, they should still do their part to start threads in places besides the Cage and Bar Rooms. I really haven't seen Norcal starting many threads, but I could have missed them.
Lee is very similar to Norcal, in my opinion. Although he hasn't been on as much as he used to, as of late, he's still all over many non-spam sections and spreads his thoughts throughout the forums. His posts always bring good insight to the subject and always provide enough information to set a good example for other posters. Plus, he does his share of cleanup. His sarcasm and abrasiveness towards other posters is mostly in the spam-friendly sections, but then again, who's isn't?
Therefore, both of these guys are about equal in my opinion. Where Lee lacks in being on here enough he makes up for in his posting and all-around duties when he IS on. And even though Norcal hasn't really shown how great of a poster he can be lately, he still comes on here more than enough and really puts the work in when he's here.
My choices for worst mods would have to be:
Honorable mention:
CM - Totally obvious. But he's stepping down, so I guess it's unfair for me to list him here.
...but if I really had to choose two others, I'll start by saying that this is more like choosing the worst of the best. I honestly think all of the fat has been cut as pertaining to mods. That being said, I choose:
Tastycles - It hurts to mention him because he's really one of my favorite posters. But where the heck has he been? He's been on quite seldom and I haven't seen him infracting outside of his section at all. When he does come on he doesn't post nearly as much as he used to. Not to mention the fact that he NEVER creates new threads in his section. The GWD section used to be very limited in subject matter that you could make threads out of. Trust me, I know. But since we combined it with WWE vs. TNA discussion, he should have a MILLION ideas for threads in his head. After all, I honestly believe he is one of the forum's best posters. But, I feel that talent is being wasted.
Xfear - It's probably not a surprise to anyone that I'd choose him, considering that he's never been a big fan of mine. I find that we disagree on just about everything and I truly go out of my way to avoid him in every section. When he and I start in about a subject, he takes the low road every time and automatically resorts to his usual abrasive and negative nature. I feel that is he didn't spend so much time cutting everyone down and spent more time giving people a chance he could be the best mod on this forum. Instead, he chooses to constantly fight with authority and his peers. Considering the fact that we don't get paid for this job and our reward for doing it should be having fun and meeting new friends, I don't feel Xfear has any interest in this and doesn't believe in teamwork very much. Teamwork is all we''ve got... without it, we've got another Sidious on our hands.
My candidates for future mod spots are:
Dave - I agree with Lee 100,000%. Why the fuck is this guy NOT a mod yet? He does everything that we ask him for. He reports posts so he obviously knows our rules. He creates plenty of new threads. He's active in every section. The guy is the #1 choice for mod in any section, in my opinion.
CH David - This kid get unnoticed WAYY too much. He's always on our forums, is an incredibly nice guy, loves wrestling, posts in all sections, but is truly a gem in the sports section. He knows our rules, follows them, NEVER gets infracted for anything, gets along with everyone, has paid his dues, is always asking myself and others about how he can improve, and really cares about the forums. As far as I'm concerned, that's all the qualities required of a mod plus more.
