This thread will explain a little bit about what it's like to become a moderator here at Combat Armed, and why you should NEVER ask to be a moderator.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being a forum moderator is cool. Fact. From getting to have access to the employee bathroon (a small, flat circular portable toilet for kids) to being part of the "in" crowd, those who aren't one want to be one, and those who are one want lots of money. But just how can YOU become one? Fear not, dear reader, as I uncover the truth behind being a moderator...

The path to moderatorness begins with a phone call. A gruff voice speaks, sounding vaguely simian. The voice tells you to go to the nearest airport. Tickets are waiting.

You arrive at the airport. Massive jets surround you. Luxury executive aeroplanes await. You look at your ticket, and look around until you can find it. Terminal 3. You look on in disbelief. A hot hostess leads you to a landing pad after you enter the terminal.

You try to get her number, but she just writes "Good Luck" on the gum wrapper with her black pen.

After she leaves, you look over to the landing pad which had been empty just a moment ago. There, before you, is a large helicopter, blades spinning, with a man in a black suit beckoning you to enter. You could've sworn the landing pad was empty a minute ago, and you hadn't even heard the helicopter touch down.

You sit down in a comfortable seat on the interior of the chopper, and the man tells you to relax. You lay your head back, and fall asleep...

Eventually, you reach your destination: A small island somewhere off the coast of Florida.

Great, you think. Then something hits you in the back of the head, and it all goes black.

Later, you wake up in a cell. Naked. Walls surround you. Your heart pounds. Strange noises can be heard echoing down the hallway out before your cell door.

Then, a tall black figure comes to your cell, and a blinding flash of light explodes before your eyes. The rest of the experience is one long blur...

After what seems like years, you wake up. Chained to your computer. Your browser only accessing http://s1.zetaboards.com/combatarmed/. Congratulations, your life as forum moderator has begun...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this is why you should never ask to be a moderator. No need to thank me for the enlightment, I just don't want you, the innocent user, to befall the same fate we have.

So please, before you ask to be a moderator: Remember this post.

Now you know that I was not dropped on my head as a young babe, but I was a mere moderator
I thought when I was young it was safe and harmless
but the days turned into years and years into decades

And here I sit on my 23 posts, and I feel unaccomplished and scorned by the back-lash of my members on the site
and yet I persevere, blood drips from my fingers and my mind plays games with me
But I love you crazy lifeless kids
You're my online family :lol:

You should post that in the "Suggestions and Improvements" forum. We're looking for a better layout / design for the site.
