out of curiosity, how does one become a moderator on here?

You must have over 1,000 posts, have positive karma and receive a nomination from at least 4 other moderators. Then you have to submit to an online interview that is reviewed by the owners of the site. If they agree for you to be a moderator, you send in your registration fees and once they are accepted, you can moderate.

If you believe any of that, I have some land to sell you also at the beach, just as soon as the tide goes out......

what is karma and why do some say +3/-2  and some  +45/-43??? and wut does it do

It does or means absolutely nothing. It is just people that either agree or disagree with a post you made or maybe they just like or dislike you. The (+) is people giving your applause and the (-) is people booing. Take it to mean what you want. Some people actually seem to be worried about their karma and others take their low rating as a badge of honor for being so obnoxious.

i'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but i think the answer is this...

someone with +3/-2 has been applauded 3 times and smited 2 times.

someone with +45/-43 has been applauded 45 times and smited 43 times. 

The more you post, the more feedback you'll get, whether good or bad.

How do you insert a web link in a post? I tried to copy and paste but the link would not open.

Thanks

Mat

Click on the little icon above that looks like this url.gif. Then when the window pops up, paste your link in that box and click OK. Then another box will pop up and you type the name that you want to use for the link. Click OK again.

Is it true to be a moderator you have to have 1,000 posts? bc i have a lot of inside info on track, band, and basketball, but I dont't know if that means anything to help the sight. I know I won't have 1,000 posts any time soon, so if you have to have it to be a moderator, then i'm out of luck.

No you just have to have a stronger opinion than anyone else's and be ready to lock threads, ban posters if they disagree and delete accounts.  In other words, judge and jury.  Are you ready for that?  There are good moderators and there are self titled ENFORCERS!!

This is a privately owned site paid for with private money. The owner of the site has chosen a few moderators to help police the site. In doing so the owner has laid down rules (in this very thread) for everyone and in private discussions, rules for the moderators doing their jobs.

This site is not a public service and is private. All rules and all moderators remain at the discretion of the owner. There is no right to freedom of speech on a private forum like this one. If a moderator starts deleting posts or banning members simply on a whim against the rules for moderators, that moderator will be removed by the owner.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
