I am a "junior" mod on a completely different type of forum (though that's not the same as being a Support person) and I'm sure there must be times when the admin wants to put duct tape on my fingers (think mouth, ok?)
Exactly why I would never even contemplate becoming a mod. Pulling duct tape off of my fingers (mouth?) day after day would get old fast. To all of the mods on PPT, you are saints in my eyes.
Same reason why I would never be a teacher. Love those kids, God bless 'em, but not enough to be with 30 of them 40 hours a week for 40 years.

Agrees with Morningstar...to all the mods here

You're all so great!
I actually enjoy it, even though it can be difficult. I'm finding that I can actually help people and make a small difference. The difficult part is the people who just won't listen or don't care about things like...the rules! I'm trying to get more complete rules instituted on the forum I'm modding on, as it's fairly new and things need to be tightened up.
It's also shown me to have an even greater respect for the monitors and Support at TNT, even though I don't always think there's a good reason for a warning or freezing (there have been some truly WEIRD warnings lately - but they seem to be auto things). They have an amazingly challenging job and many of them really do try to help us. I just wish there were more Support team members. That would make life easier on the staff and on all the members. The staff wouldn't be so backed up that it takes months (if ever in some cases) to get any response, and the members would feel like they mattered, because they did get a real reply.
