Katie only really knows Varn (he doesn't post), Merlin (who isn't around anymore). I've talked to her maybe twice. So I'm not sure where you're getting the "friends with mod" concern from. So yes, you talk to the admin. I personally don't play favorites with proletariats. If you say, "Oh but you hired in people you are friends with", well it tends to be advantageous to KNOW someone when trying to picture them as an authority figure. So, still once again, as I've said a hundred times, contact me personally if you have an issue with a mod. Otherwise, talk to a different mod or admin. So far, complaints about how I work are rare and far between so I assume I do a decent enough job after 5 years. Power corrupts I guess.
super secret mod hint: Merlin was a mod cause he's katies friend and he just made me a mod cause he thought it'd be funny and I surprised him when I actually reined in the forum. So...yeah. Its come a long way.
I never implied it was this forum or these proletariats. it was just purely hypothetic. But also I've heard some horror stories from people a long time ago with dictatorship forums so I was kinda basing it on that... but still, hypothetic situation in my "what if" comments...

No no it should work off a number of things or else everyone will shit post their way into modhood.
Things like dick size, time spent here, etc.
