How do you decide what the little symbol by your name is going to be? A bird for LAB makes sense, yours is like the old stars; does everybody just pick their own, does somebody in particular make them?

E. Also, I stand by desire to see you react to some insane stuff happening in a thread.

Lord of the Flies reference.

How are word filters determined and implemented?

What's the threshold for sending a PM to a mod versus using the report button, just individual preference? Also, are most reports for legitimate issues or are they cases of people just getting annoyed at other posters?

"Is it funny?" seems to be the overriding criteria.

Do you get reports from mods or do y'all handle that poo poo in the mod forum? Also, if you did get a report from a mod would you put the offender on probation even if you didn't agree as a courtesy?

I'll report something if I think it warrants it. I don't expect for it to be treated any different than a non-mod report.

Why do you hate GBS? Is it a requirement for becoming a mod?

I'm mad that the racists and bigots are being oppressed! Why can't I express my desire for Islamic genocide on these forums without being probated for it?

What are the stats on thread votes? Does anyone really read a thread and say to themselves "hmm...this thread is not quite a 4...perhaps a 3 if I'm being generous"? Or does everyone just click either "1" or "5"? What percentage of posters vote on threads? Is it the same people voting over and over again?

It's usually 5 or 1 votes. I always get a kick out of the spite 1 votes. Like for a while there was someone who just went through and voted 1 on every thread in GiP. Even the "hey don't kill yourself, here's some resources" thread.

Reading this thread is neat, even though I don't post much and don't have a lot of interaction with the mods of the, like, two forums I do post in.

Do you have mod functionality on the mobile apps?

I can view reports and that's about it. Have to switch to safari to mete out justice.

How often do people PM big whiny walls of text about 6 hour probations?

Every loving time if they have the ability to send PM's. 6 hours are the most likely to set off meltdowns.

What do you usually do in that case? Ignore both? Probate both? Point and laugh?

It doesn't really happen in my forum so it's a combination of mirth and pity for the mods that have to untangle that mess.
