I was only brought in to merge deleted threads. You guys can't see them, but after some spammer creates 100 threads, someone with mod privileges sees a screen full of deleted thread notices. Hence, I'm a mod for the mods.
PRO TIP: In any forum, only the green mods count. They're people who do the actual modding. Here, ignore anyone related to the show -- believe the thinking would be "if they do the show, they should have mod rights in their own forum". It is confusing, because I believe that Adam actually mods in NVG. However, he's a celebrity guest here. The lighter color is for sponsors, and doesn't count.
Also, that_pope is much harder to ban as a mod. Nobody wants that.
