I didn't want to be a moderator, until I was a moderator
I had only been a member a few weeks/months..I was way too obsessed with bb10, and had joined to talk about it, was making somethingg ridiculous like a hundred posts a day..but mainly through the night as oddly enough, at that time I had a life by day! So, was sat making my endless posts from like, midnight to 5am ish. And apparently more mods were needed. And mark (or james) said I would be a good choice because I was very active st night, and none of the other staff were. I stayed within the rules and was nice to people, which I suspect helped too. It was also at a tim when there were issues with a very particular troll (who targetted me..over all others actually) who tended to come on at night and tbh I think the staff were a bit pissed off with me constantly PMing pointing out the multis before they noticed them! Was asked, agreed to a 'training session' on msn (shows how long ago it was..) and was very cuirious about it all tbh, so agreed. It was very very different modding then than now..was on the old forum and the way we had to do things..when deleting stuff we had to copy the whole thread into a hidden forum before doing so as deleted posts did not show at all anymore, were also on the 3 strikes and out system, so members in general stayed within the rules. There was ****ing hell on mind, when they announced me. I remember shaun going particularly off it
So yeah, I didn't want to be a mod as such. I was a mod before I wanted to do it

Probably when you can't do right for doing wrong tbh. Regardless of the decisions you make, you piss off at least one person. Its been MUCH better since tibb staff was inroduced though, I have to say. I know members hate it, but the amount of abuse we got via PM for infracting certain members was absolutely insane. I had some nutter actually threaten to hunt down me and my kids and kill us for gods sake, as I gave him a warning for something. A BB only poster, so noone would know them, not that I would name them anyway
I get that its annoying, but honestly..it was ridiculous.
Also an issue, is when posts are basically borderline rule breaks and you know some will take it as offensive but also know there will be hell on if you remove them as technically they are fine..and have to make a judgement call..and it turns out to be the wrong one

Erm, I don't think I look up to anyone really. At a push, would be soppy and predictable and say my dad.

Ahaha still to this day, busted. Mind, I went to see them when they reformed and it was rubbish, the new stuff they had was crap, and the crowd was heckling them to play the older stuff instead

Bon Jovi
Iamx (obsessed since watching HTGAWM. Seems to have a good range of stuff too)
Michael Jackson
Eminem
Avril Lavigne (though..years back)
Honestly, I don't really listen to music at all these days..not into anyone specific besides my random youtubing of iamx stuff. Used to be far far more interested.
