Their posts are voluntary, but they're all sadists so they get something out of it. >_>

The Mods aren't, but the admins probably are. Not sure, though, about the admins.

They're actually a deeply feared secret internet mafia gang that frequents the GS forums, specifically OT and SW. They extort certain users for money and accept bribes from trolls, alts and ban dodgers. Not only that but that read and copy and paste pms between users, especially e-married users, and post them on "that site" for teh lulz. Be wary of ATM, as thats a haven for corrupting the small minded and excessively stupid.

They do it because of a higher calling. Like becoming a priest. Or a monk.

You've had this account since 2003, and you don't know the answer?:P

They are volunteers selected by the GS Staff.

Most of the moderators who handled the GGD, the board I post on, all either stepped down or just left the site completely. My motivation was to keep my favorite board from going downhill. I'm going to be posting anyway, so I might as well try and make things better while I'm at it.

True, but I am a student and only work part time. So when I am on the computer I guess I just multitask.
