[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TheAntiGates [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by NS2317 Just out of curiousity, if a "noob" has been reading the forum for the same time the "veteran" has been posting, what qualifies the "veteran" to pass judgement on the "noob"? Could it be the reason there is only one moderator on the forums? [/quote] Well, if a "noob" has been here a long time, just remained silent...then he's not a 'noob', ...he is a "lurker". And for some guy to regularly come here,.....read the board heavily, but seldom contribute anything himself...it's pretty unlikely that such a person is going to come out of the closet just to referee. Wouldn't make sense, would it? Usually what I've found when some guy with a very low post count shows up and starts acting like he has rank over other members, barking orders like he is in charge,..it's usually one of the other regulars who has created a psuedo, or secondary ID that they use to stir up trouble with any way. That way if their deeds get them banned, they don't have to wear the reputation for their misbehavior. [/quote] Yes, that really makes a lot of sense. However, it really wouldn't be that surprising to me if a lurker suddenly posted in a topic that he/she decided warranted it. People can only take so much, standing in the shadows, before they finally decide it's time to become involved (even though it may seem kinda' comical at times). As for the later part, I would never have considered that as a reason for a post to escalate to the point of no return. You have been around forums for a long time Mr. Gates. [:)]
