Korean Job Discussion Forums

Mods, time to clean up the Off-Topic forum, or you'll have those Coast-to-Coast moonbats coming here regularly. That is all.

Yeah! Make some space for quality posters like JeJuJitsu!

Damn straight, cowgirl.

I am in full agreement with the OP. The mods here do a good job, and I don't want to tell them what to do, but I'd like to second the OP. I don't even bother looking at Current Events. A lot of other people don't anymore either, and I suspect the nut-job extremists are getting sick of talking to one another, so they're crapping in other forums.

I guess because when people posted current political topics in the Current Events Forum, people would complain that they weren't really current events. I could never figure that one out.

I even had a Job-related Discussion Forum post booted to the Off Topic forum by a mod. It was about a game our students were playing called "sudden attack" and the sudden genesis of their new buzz word "head shot" and their detailed knowledge of guns. Seemed pretty related to working and teaching. But no. The mods got complaints. So I guess the Job-related forum is only for topics that are related to your job as long as they're about complaining about your employer/recruiter or the fine art of the midnight run. Should you actually want to talk about your students and what's relevant to them, that goes in the Off Topic forum as well.

I've done the mod thing elsewhere. Sometimes it's not fun. The only fun that comes out of it is seeing everyone's IP/cross IPs/Socks, and the gossip in the Mod forum: "Hey, did you see that gsxr750r posted from 20 IPs, and two of those IPs were also used by ______, and ______? Do you think he's _______? Should we ban him? Let's have a vote. Well, he's been good so far, but we'll watch him, and boot his ass if he gets out of line...

You can build some close friendships, but on the other board I used to mod at, I recognized a definite "holier than thou" attitude growing within my mind. I'm not speaking for the other mods -- just me. I didn't like where I saw myself going with that one, personally. It's sort of like community service work, combined with being a cop, really. People start hating you personally for doing your job. It can be uncomfortable.

SO WHAT?
