Yeah, the only one. It seems that if you donât want someone around, make them a moderator. The more all-powerful a god becomes, the less you hear from him. 
You want me to become a moderator of ILP? ⌠
Sure I guess. Mags probably the most active and fav mod, probably because most active.
I love all the ILP moderators here with the deepest admiration and sincerity.
These upstanding individuals are both ladies and gentlemen of a scholarly variety.
I think somebody should purchase them all a fruit basket or a Mcdonalds happy meal.
Spare no expense in rewarding ILP greatness.
I am well aware of both sides of myself, good and bad.
I know that i have right mindset and understanding for a mod, but there are two very serious shortcomings with me too.
Due to my circumstances, i have to skip ILP for days quite often. That is certainly not a good quality for a moderator. It needs daily attendance. Secondly, as the English is my second language, i sometimes misunderstand or unable to understand when it comes to spoken English or slang, which is almost a norm with US English.

Hey, Laughing Man! Welcome back again! 
If you believe that, you must be wrong. 
Greetings again.
Letâs have an interim result for the question: âAre you satisfied with the ILP moderation?â
We have 50% for âyesâ, 30% for ânoâ, and 20% for âI donât knowâ.
Please vote!
Yes. I donât see much wrong with the moderation around here aside from the fact that a few of the mods are some of my favorite posters and theyâre hardly ever around anymore.
Iâve been warned many times and even banned for a few days, but I knew damn well that I was violating the rules in most of those cases.
Concerning the thread âJesus came to Earth again! What?! Would we recognize Him?â (forum: Philosophy; subforum: Religion and Spirituality; Moderator: Dan~). This thread is just one of many examples, because many other threads are also concerned.
This forum is called âI Love Philosophyâ and this thread I chose as an example is called âJesus came to Earth again! What?! Would we recognize Him?â. So those people who want to talk about soemthing else can do it e.g. in other threads of other forums; but if they do it in that thread, then they derail that thread.
For example: 50% of the first page of that said thread (|=>) is nothing else than deraling text. ⌠Dan~, where are you?
Here are two examples of threads where people can post if they want to derail threads or keep them off-topic:
- âPost a Picture of Yourselfâ,
- âWhat are you doing?â.
Arminius,
I donât necessarily disagree with your critique, but I think itâs worth pointing out that there isnât a single open report on the entire first page of the Religion section. It could be that Dan is assuming that if people arenât reporting, things must be the way the members want them.

Thatâs the retail experience but itâs applicable to this forum. Most people wonât complain(report). They will simply be dissatisfied and eventually leave. Moderation has to be proactive rather than reactive, otherwise the forum slowly deteriorates.
Emmm⌠???
An âopen reportâ merely means that the issue has not been addressed (usually by issuing a warning or threat of a warning - moderator mindlessness issues). The last formal warning that I got didnât even mention what it was for (âjust hadnât warned you for awhile, soâŚâ) and from the religion forum (I even had to ask what forum it was involved).
Thatâs the truth of it.
I donât necessarily disagree with that either, and we all run our individual sections of the forums differently. Just saying, if people were called out for taking things off topic or posting nonsense or whatever, maybe things would change a bit.
(1) My first (and main!) question was and is:
[list][list][list][list][list][list][list][size=114]Why can some ILP members not even respect philosophical themes?[/size][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
(2) My second (and not main) question was and is:
[list][list][list][list][list][list][list][size=114]Why do ILP moderators acept or even respect ILP members who do not even respect philosophical themes?[/size] [/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
(1) Those who are not able to respect philosophical themes derail threads, subforums, and the whole philosophical forum of a board named âI Love philosophyâ (âILPâ).
(2) Moderators are those who should prevent other ILP members from derailing threads, subforums, and the philosophical forum of a board named âI Love philosophyâ (âILPâ).
I have since cleaned up a couple of threads on the R&S board⌠without being too intrusive I hope, and I will continue to visit the board throughout each day, so apologies for forgetting to do so of late.
Magsj, would you consider notifying people if their posts get deleted? I know you deleted a couple of mine, but I dont know which ones.
Other than that I am certainly satisfied with the mods. My favorites are Uccisore and Carleas, the latter because of his undeniable commitment which makes this community as reliable and stable as it is.
The posts I delete are only those with off-topic bickering for content, so please be assured that all your posts are otherwise safe.
Why is Dan~ no practising moderator anymore?
