Get to know your staff [UPDATED]

[The Valkyrie]

Is balut-eating some sort of initiation? (any mod)

Had to look that one up.

No.

We just sacrifice virgins to the dark lord.

Of course, we can't find ANY virgins here, you pack of degenerates!

Question (serious one, I swear):

Are there ever serious conflicts between members of Staff?  As a f'rinstance, has a Member ever left or threatened to leave Staff when a decision (say, about banning this or that poster) didn't go their way? Not asking anyone to name names.

Boru

To my recollection nobody has left because of a decision made, but quite often we disagree on a load of topics, from bans to moderation decisions to even forum layout.

Often we'll go on pages debating a report or decision if there's some ambiguity. It's one of the most liberally moderated forums I've ever been on and I like it like that. We all seem to get on pretty good, though, and historically that's been the case even when there's been conflicting personalities on the staff.

The first time I ever left the Staff years ago I left due to a staff decision. I left to do with a part of the forum that no longer exists that I felt was a really bad idea. That was years and years ago back when Kyu was a mod. More details if the question gets asked in the interview

That question goes to all staff.

Tea

Good.

Have you mods ever had to report anybody to the police?

[Edwardo Piet]

I have. But it was completely unrelated to AF and it was my ex-roommate

[The Valkyrie]

Have you mods ever had to report anybody to the police?

Yes.

They should be with you soon.

[c172]

Ooh, cool, NZP?
