I have a few questions on moderators.

[Dual Wielder]

1. What powers / privileges do moderators have?
I'm aware of a few:
- They can delete comments/ threads
- Close threads
- Give strike points / Ban users
- Give + / - rating.

2. How do they get selected? i.e. what does the selection process involve?

3. Accountability, can they be held accountable?

2. How do they get 'selected?' i.e. Democracy or Authoritarianism?

Can i ask you for your reasons?

Just curious*

Why do you pose this choice of two methods: "democracy" or "authoritarianism"? How could either "method" be implemented? The confirmation of a volunteer moderator in a forum composed of volunteer participants is a complex, iterative process that could never be so simply characterized as your question supposes.

A better question would be:

How does PDF "management" convince some poor soul (the moderator) to give up countless personal hours in the thankless task trying to get a bunch of immature jerks to behave?"

Hi,

Pro Arab posters say most moderators are pro iran---. What do you say to that.

 

[TruthSeeker]

so does this mean that you really are the dupe ID of the PDF owner?

I know for a fact that MasterKhan is not the PDF owner.

It is jointly owned by central intellectual advertising along with national selfimprovement association---.

Yes, that is almost correct. There is a third joint owner: the Institute of Sincere Intellectuals.

@F16Block72
I wasn't going to comment at first.. since I prefer not to waste comments on scum, you obviously have issues, the kind of language your using shows your hurting inside and that's great, I don't know what I said that may have 'upset' you little girl, and I don't really care.. your parents should take away your keyboard privileges because your just a immature brat that's needs some good old parental beating.

FYI If you have a problem be direct, don't use a troll account you pu55y.

If for nothing else, thanks for admitting that you are in fact immature and a jerk. Two traits are not mutually exclusive.

Good to know we have some intelligent people here who can articulate their point of view with solid grammar!
