Sometimes guys just need a break. Dan has fun moderating and does a very good job behind the scenes. Mods have a lot of side work that posters do not see with all the contests, fraud prevention and sportsbook grading tasks just to name a few. I'm sure Dan will enjoy his break and be back somewhere down the road.

Do you need more than elementary school education to perform these tasks? You make it sound like these mods do 4 tasks at a time and it's a really big deal. How did we ever manage to send a man on the moon and bring him back safely?

Chuckle...laughed at this far more than I should

Well played

BBD is a hall of fame Mod and Poster

We had the good sense to have Tim Tebow as Mission Control Command Leader, that's how...

You're a bit of an ass at times, no? Yet again you have no clue what goes on at SBR... but yeah, talk about the 4 tasks at a time and compare it to a massive Govt organisation with 1000s of people working to throw someone up on the moon. Seriously man, common.

Now tell me again what qualifications and education is required to perform fraud prevention at a forum with points as currency. Graduate from FBI academy magna *** laude? And how about sportsbook grading. Can a trained chimpanzee learn how to grade plays as win or lose by pressing the WIN button on the screen and the LOSE button on the screen once the game is over?

Has the real reason why BBD is not a mod anymore been stated yet

what qualifications and education is required to perform fraud prevention at a forum with points as currency

Having owned a busy forum I can tell you it's difficult to find or hold onto anyone who is smart enough to read the logs and work out what's going on and be trusted not to miss stuff.

Without all the crazies and other stuff here to deal with.

Sure a monkey can... and then watch how many posts, threads, emails, PMs, complaints start when a sportsbook grades one wrong. And there is no WIN or LOSE button on the DGS software but thanks for that.

No one's saying you need to be a brain surgeon to do anything here. Nor do they to do the jobs that 99.9999999999999999999999% of posters do, save for actual brain surgeons. Have a semi functioning brain, have the funding to attend school and be disciplined to stick with it long enough and you can become a lawyer, doctor or.... wait for it: An engineer.

Yeah I know it's the forum thing to do to bash Mods... but it kind of gets tiresome when you see how many PT guys secretly enquire about becoming one. Anyway, carry on... off to go hit that WIN button somewhere.

And yeah, that's the other part of it. Being a mod isn't Bill Gates type stuff but it's a little more involved than just giving out a random infraction and killing off a spammer.

Then again, I didn't realise it before I started to work here and was entrusted with more stuff so I get where the laughs come from. It's definitely not the same forum as it was when it first opened and it isn't from even a year ago. And I am proud to be a part of it in my own little way. Fun to see all of the improvements and watch SBR grow from a different perspective

[Ice House]

Damn Shari just bended Pavy over her knee and spanked him lol


shari is so hot

Yeah try to become a brain surgeon or an engineer and see how easy it is when one minor mistake or omittance can kill one person or dozens.

Doesn't matter what happens after you become one... it matters about what it takes to become one. Have quite a few "engineer" friends who couldn't find their way out of a paperbag but damn are they good at exams, some maths at times and power studying. And voila: Engineer!!

Let's not start judging here Pavy. We're all just posters on a random forum. For better or worse we're all the same as soon as we sign on to an online forum and start telling tales.

so what DOES it take to become a mod shari?

[pavyracer]

so what DOES it take to become a mod shari?

Apparently a lot more than the average person with a high school diploma could not do. Someone like bobby couldn't be a mod here.

Oh wait..bobby was a mod here, wasn't he?

And what is Bobby doing now Pavy?

[shari91]

so what DOES it take to become a mod shari?

I could say what I do in my job and the things it requires but it won't necessarily apply to my colleagues. And vice versa. None of the people you see on the forum perform the same role. That's the best I can do.

[pavyracer]

And what is Bobby doing now Pavy?

Something better than an SBR mod does for sure.

[DrStale]

Something better than an SBR mod does for sure.

Right. I'm sure Bobby left because being an SBR mod was beneath him.

[mrmarket]

I will become a mod and rifle out those pesky Entitled 7 from their thrones of power!

[sideloaded]

SHari infract and temp ban pavy!

[mrmarket]

Pavy is a good guy he just gets that Greek blood riled up sometimes. Too much feta, gyros and oiled up wrestling.

[saints7011]

i want to be a mod...

hire me SBR...

[doublej95]

I doubt they are going to hire anyone begging to be a mod

[Tree Rollins]

Seems as though a lot of people found bigboydan obnoxious. I know i did. That thing he did where he ended every sentence with 'sir' was pretty douchy.
