While we are on this topic and all the moderators are here, I want to say thank you all for doing such a good job. I can't imagine what this place would be like without you guys.
By the way, I am going to be a moderator on a new message board that is starting up (Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the aquarium hobby
). What tips could you give a new and inexperienced moderator?

as an administrator for the last three years at another site, i would like to give you 10 extremely helpful rules to abide by. listen up son:
1. abuse your power. who cares. it's just the internet.
2. collect groupies. chicks dig that title bro.
3. ban people randomly. start a thread called Duck Duck BAN. in there the weekly "winner" will be announced.
4. edit people's posts behind their back. make em fight eachother.
5. warn people for offenses and then deliberatly commit the same thing. don't reply when questioned on your hypocracy.
6. sticky every thread started by you.
7. encourage forum raiding on competitors
8. have an auto reply that says "shut up. get over it." for every reported post.
9. create assistants. believe me, people will line up for the job.
10. create fun & humiliating contests. never pay out the winner's prize. IP ban any complainers.
well there you have it. within no time you'll be king.

Speaking from experience, it is similar to being a "rock star" with loads of people hanging on your every word, expression, glance and hoping beyond hope for a moment of attention.

they could always commercialize Tequila Thursdays. the incoming revenue could offset any potential loss from people being scared off.
