OH BOY-O-BOY!!!!!!
Isn't this place wonderful? :jump:
Now that I know what it takes to be a mod, I'm sure I can just run and play all day.

All kidding aside, I really don’t know why anybody would be willing to do the thankless job our mods do for us. This place has come to mean so much to so many of us because of the unique policy set down by the founders and held to by the extraordinary people at the helm every day. This is an unimaginable difficult job that we have had carried out from the start and keeps our home the place it is. Thank you all for your steadfastness and dedication.

In answer to your questions Teddy ... for me I'm a mod because I really enjoy the site and when I was asked felt that I could offer something to the site. I think I was asked, in part, because I was already very active in the stories forums with writing stories of my own.
My "job" here is probably less timeconsuming than it is for most of the other moderators since my main function deals with the stories forums ... first and foremost my job there it to make sure the stories are in keeping with the rules we have .... NOT too many rules ... no underage participants and no beastiality ... either one of those will either get an edit of the story or it will be deleted .... either of which will get a PM from me, Skipthisone or Lilith ... depending on who caught it first ... letting the storyteller know why the action was taken and if it has happened before with that same person, they will probably get a warning about continued unacceptable behavior.
So my time on the site doing my mod job depends on how eloquent our writers are during a particular period of time .... if someone floods the stories forums in a short period of time, we may temporarily move the stories out of general circulation until they can be reviewed for content in a timely manner. But for the most part, we try to make sure that the stories have been reviewed within a day or two of being submitted. Usually you will see the phrase "last edited by ______ on (date)" at the end of the story or "@" showing that it was reviewed and/or edited by that person for content ... by the way, a storyteller can also edit their submission for a particular period of time.
When we edit stories, generally the changes that are made
Spelling errors will be fixed if needed (if you are using a particular spelling for effect, if it is apparent that you are doing so, we don't "correct" the spelling") ...
Insert blank lines to break up particularly long paragraphs -- this makes it easier reading for all that come to the site and less intimidating to a reader when they view a story ...
If it is an easy fix, I'll fix the tense of words so that there is consistency in the story .... (i.e., not switching back and forth from current to past tense).
Anyway, that's pretty much what moderators do in the stories forums .... Also, when there is a controversy on site about any of the forums, we ask other moderators for an opinion on what should happen, or give an opinion on how something should be handled, as Sharni said, we discuss if something is questionable, and/or inform the other moderators when an action has been taken.
What I get out of being a mod ... a sense of pride and joy in all that Pixies is to me and to other people I have come to care about a great deal. And of course, being a "storyteller" myself, I love being able to do something to help other storytellers, as well as the satisfaction of having my stories in the same place as other high caliber stories.
Teddy, Hope I answered all your questions from my perspective.

How much time, on average, do you put in as Mod per day or week?

1. I do it because i love Pixies...What it stands for...its acceptabilty of all types of person...the members mean a damn lot to me and i want to help them in any way i can....this is one way i can do that...I hope to be able to help keep Pixies as it was and hopefully always will be with the least amount of "change"
2. Love, Pride, and a sense of doing my best
3. I spend as much time here as real life will allow...and during that time i am always a member who happens to be a Mod...i scan over all parts of Pixies...if i happen to see something i consider 'dodgy..if its in my area i fix it...if it is another area i send a message to the other Mod concerned
In other words if i am here i am moderating...minimum of 4 hrs/day a day to 20+hrs/day....like i said depends on real life situations
A bit more on 'If it's in my area i fix it'
I do the 'Pic Section'...I am on the look out for material ie Beast, kiddy porn, Copyrighted images..etc
I PM people who post pics with other ppl in them to ensure that they DO have specific permission from the other person concerned to post them on a adult site'....if i do not hear back by the deadline or they admit that they dont have permission them the thread or pics are removed
I remove any negative/rude comments from anyones thread, and the commentor gets an all personal PM from me, stating that type of thing is not at all acceptable here!
Though i will admit...most seem to behave themselves in my section *LOL*...i rarely have to pull my Mod shoes on in my section...hmmmmmmmm...maybe i am scary after all

DITTO what PF said !!! Pixies is great, due in large to our Mods. Thanks for all you do!!
fzzy and Sharni,
Thank you both for your answers. They were very interesting and thoughtful responses. I always like knowing the background of things, the why and how come. I hope I wasn't the only one wondering. I sure didn't mean to turn this into the ''teddy asks a Mod" thread.
A big THANK YOU to all our Mods!! Pixies wouldn't be the same without you!

teddy,
I think you just asked the questions that a lot of us would have asked. I know you asked the ones that I would have asked, and probably a bit more politely.
Thanks again Sharni for starting this thread and to Lil and fzzy, as well as Sharni for so thoroughly answering all the questions that have been asked so far.

I would like to thank two of our Mods for their help lately.
Sharni for showing me the right direction and opening my eyes TY
and Lilith for keeping track of what is happening at Pixies TY
I have a respect for all present and past mods here at Pixies, I would not want to put up with some of the things that go on here.
Thank you Pixies Mods.
