what is the difference between a mod and admin

not the right section of the forum, but admin can make more decisions than mods

Basicily the site would not survive without admins they are important.

Mods on the other hand have to keep posting regulary in the fun and games section, Buy a premium account before they appply to be mod, As soon as they become mod become very annoying controling the forum, even when people are not breaking the rules.
The only decent moderator who is regulary online is mattyweille he has a bit of spine and does not follow the crowd.

Of course that is my opinion.

i like baff aswell and sorry captainking1 i am new to the forum

np, i have made my fair share of mistakes!

budweiser, baff, fastboysam, adam_147 to me are the best

I'm surprised this question hasn't been addressed in the help section! But 0_o_0 almost had it right...almost...and by almost I mean not at all....

Admin are generally people who have moved from users, to moderators to now admin. They do a lot of the behind the scenes work. They are responsible for deciding on new mods, banning members who have been racist or are repeat offenders, dealing with "contact us" complaints, and doing more of the corporate/executive type decisions. They generally hold more "power" and responsibility and are obviously a much more selective position.

Moderators are more of the frontline workmen. They are easily accessible and are there to make sure the game is running smoothly, answer quick questions, accept profile pictures, make sure each user is having a safe and pleasant experience on the site. They have the ability to make a decision on if a member needs to be "booted" temporarily from the game due to cheating, harassment, swearing, etc. They are often people who are very familiar with the site and the site's general population and have proven themselves to be sound and levelheaded individuals. They help keep forums organized and preventing negative comments/harrassment/swearing on the forums so that people of all ages can enjoy the site. They can also deal with some smaller problems and pass along larger problems for final decision by admins.

Hopefully this question will prompt nick to write a little diddy for the help us section.

booboobedoooop double post.

sam without a doubt but this isnt a popularity contest

about the question 0_o_0 summed it up perfectly, mods are there to keep an eye on the chat rooms and forums for unusual behaviour, while admins have to check regularly for banned users, check complaints, deal with mod apps etc.

the premium thing isnt true though

Edit: missed brighteyes post, a perfect summary on what staff does on the site

what does this meaaaaan?

it was meant for those who think best staff member is.

ahh sorry, my name is sam aswell, and it was right under my post but now that you said you hadn't seen my post it makes more sense... you were saying fastboysam is da bomb. i'm a little slow today sorry dgen!

its alright, i know your sam too so it can be confusing.

Budweiser, Baff and Fastboysam often reply to my enquiries, although a few more active moderators are needed.

The last 3 or 4 moderators had a premium account when they were made into moderators, That is a fact The majority of mods when they are online just post in the fun and games section, that too is a fact.
Me, winding you lot up that you have to buy a premium account to be moderator is just me joking about, They do a good job all of them when they are online, It would soon get annoying taking stick in the bar all night and pm's when they are in games all the time would be so annoying.
