6. The Moderator

Taking a slightly subtler approach to making visitors feel unwelcome, the Moderator maintains an air of superiority as he bunkers down each day on a particular site's comment section or message board for another 16-hour stint as archivist-in-residence. He's the cool kid -- the site vet who's been around for a long time and knows what's what. Leave a message that repeats something someone else said 16 months ago, and he'll let you know about it within minutes.

"Um, yeah, Newbie0314, we talked about that back when NeverTouchedAWoman24 brought the subject up last May. But thanks for contributing, lol."

Treating the forum as his own private gated community, the (self-appointed) Moderator seems to have adopted as his personal philosophy the Pythonesque commandment "Every thread is precious." To keep each discussion safe and pure, he will treat any commenter who has fewer than 200 messages to his name as an undocumented invader who doesn't deserve a spot on his beloved forum. All of this, we assume, from the comfort of his parents' basement.

Are you a mod in disguise?

1) First! is always funny. People who get butthurty about it make it funny.

2) They spelled fanboi wrong.

3) Whatever someone got paid to write that piece, it was too much.

I say somewhat lovingly that Ragu is one of those guys, the 500-word one, whatever that was.

 

[Magnum]

Some people on here are four or five of those in one.

 

[The Big Ragu]

Fail.

I'd say mikey, but he hasn't been around much lately. Maybe it is because he finally broke the streak?

[Second Thoughts]

This is hilarious. The ones that most remind me of this board, from personal experience, are 5, 6, 8 and 11.
