Welcome to the Off-Topic/Schweb's Lounge
In addition to the Mac-Forums Community Guidelines, there are a few things you should pay attention to while in The Lounge.
Lounge Rules
- If your post belongs in a different forum, please post it there.
- While this area is for off-topic conversations, that doesn't mean that every conversation will be permitted. The moderators will, at their sole discretion, close or delete any threads which do not serve a beneficial purpose to the community.
Understand that while The Lounge is here as a place to relax and discuss random topics, that doesn't mean we will allow any topic. Topics which are inflammatory, hurtful, or otherwise clash with our Mac-Forums Community Guidelines will be removed.
Language Warning a step too far?

I reckon modding is far harder than it looks. It's a pretty thankless task at the best of times. I could never mod a forum.
It's obvious the modding here is tighter than a lot of places, and that doesn't suit everybody (myself included, sometimes), but I know that's my problem, not the mods.
Even if sometimes that's the case, I'd still say the mods here are a cut above most of the forums I have posted on. That goes for all the mods, but just to balance the thanklessness issue, I'll also add that Schweb is extraordinary - every single one of his posts as a mod I have ever read has been spot on the money. Impressive.

I'm a moderator on a Scottish Terrier forum, and I can tell you that those of us with Scotties are much like our dogs - a mixture of complete focus and ADHD. Topics never seem to die, they just get set aside for a few minutes for the new toy.
Invariably, someone gets offended and someone takes there ball and runs home. But the forum is a good one, so after some licking of wounds, or one of us stepping in with either the garden hose or a shiny red ball, everyone gets back to having a good time.
It takes the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of Job, the humor of Carlin, and the Valium of a 2nd Grade teacher to be an effective moderator ;-)
