New Moderator

I couldn't help notice, there's a new sheriff in town, called Forum Robot.

Could you please clarify this, and what exactly is he/she responsible for?

Just thought I'd ask, as I don't want to go pissing him off to soon.

i was gonna ask the same question lol...but was thinking it might be suckup time

Forum Robot has been a member of the forum team since September last year.

Basically acts as a go between, between forum members and the mod team, so as to instill a bit of anonymity for the mods - in particular when dealing out warnings etc

Forum Robot is responsible for the moderation of all artificial lifeforms that join the forum.

Some people claim that it's an all purpose, account de guerre set up so that if there's an emergency a moderator can move/delete posts from areas they don't have moderator rights for, or to dish out punishments with some anonymity so that moderators can do their job without people feeling it's a personal vendetta, but don't believe them. It's a cyborg moderator that moderates randy robots. I swear it's true!

Shush Mr G......or your memory banks will be deleted

im not a fan of anonymity, as you can see by the rep i gave him.
its 1 thing to dish out warnings and remove posts but it was used to de-rep me (removed now).
the mod concerned should have used his own account for that. i wouldn't have returned the favor as long as it was a legit reason for a de-rep, but to hide behind anonymity to do it pissed me off.

So he's basically the Forum Guard Dog, that dishes out punishment, and could actually be any, or all of the Mods, Maybe should have named him K9

So if you see his name pop up on your PM list, it's basically time to bend down and kiss your ass goodbye.

On a side note, What's with the Moderators putting themselves on banned status. Is there some private, internal joke going around, Or is it some type of silent protest?
