I figure they are like cops. Some you see every day on patrol and some have desk duty back at the office and only come out when needed.
Maybe they just review posts and don't actually post any more, i.e., lurk.
Socks should be banned. Immediately. Would anyone actually sell their name on Ebay? Does anyone actually care that much to even bother with it? Wow... If so, they need a life.Makes you wonder why we have some many sockpuppets j/king. Seriously though, some moderators could view the forum without logging in to see if there is anything worth moderating, or they could in fact be extremely busy from time to time. I do understand that perhaps long term non-actives should possible be demoted back to normal user, but only if they were likely to misuse their powers at some junction point in the future. (i.e. selling their username on Ebay so a normal member could spy on the moderator subforum etc)
Actually it would be interesting to see how much people would offer.... Who would start the bidding?

enmos, why do you care?
Nah, Goofy's duties are covered by Hype, but Tristan's sub-forae of Earth Science, SciFi & Fantasy and General Science & Technology don't seem to be covered.
(That may explain the long-running thread on the Earth being a living growing creature not being cesspooled ).
Because I care about SciForums.
Imagine what would happen if there were no moderators at all anymore..

But there are mods here. :shrug: How do you go from 3 not posting in a while to there being no mods?
