A lot of users have been curious as to what tools the Mods have and what extra abilities the mods have over the regular users. A lot of users are especially curious about what the Mods see when they log into the site and what the extra forum tools they have look like.
Well I recently came across these screen shots that give the regular users a rare glimpse into the world of the Mods. ___________________________________________________________________
This is the banhammer that mods drop when they ban a user. I wouldn't want to mess with that. It's always smart to stay within the Rules & Guidelines when posting on the forums. ____________________________________________________________________
Nothing escapes the long arm of the spamhammer. If you're thinking about spamming to gain more Armor Points think twice, the mods can remove spam posts with ease, thanks to the spamhammer. Also read the other Rules and Guidelines.
Now I wasn't quiet sure what this was when I first came across it, but apparently the mods are granted one super power that they can enable and disable.
I wasn't sure what this button did at firs, but after a little research I found out what it's for. Apparently, when the mods get overwhelmed with spam posts, trolls, user on user conflicts and questions about how to get merits, they can let of a little steam and press the heat vision button. Once pressed a beam of heat energy so powerful, it could cook the world's entire supply of Hot Pockets in under one second, is shot out of the moderator's eyes into their computer, completely destroying it and any frustration the mod may have had from the forums that day. It gets expensive, if the mods use it a lot they have to buy a lot of computers.
That was the last screenshot I came across. Interesting screenshots though.
Um, great. If this is real I'm going to say, that sucks for mods to have the big buttons messing up the site (lookwise) I don't think these are real. "Fake and Gay!" lol
In reality, I think they just get trashcan buttons next to every reply, but this is gold! Made me laugh for a couple seconds. Hopefully no one uses the Heatvision button...that would suck.
