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.

The mods get Heat Vision!

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.

oh please, it's usually with a delete post button on the forum posts, a small button by the add friend button for banning people, and a button by the thread title for locking, complete with the ability to unlock by clicking the button again.
and before anyone asks, i'm guessing.

Sounds like it would be that, but we will never know.

I meant to say we will never know what a mod sees unless they tell us. :P

You guys REALLY wanna see what we see when we log in?? Ok, here goes....

Upon logging in, this screen is displayed:

http://www.allspammedup.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/spam.jpg

After several super secret keystrokes we get passed the spam warnings and are confronted with this:

So we are forced to resort to:

However, prior to becoming a moderator, no one tells you that:

Lol haha!

And MRWalker82's post is funny too!

No, the Mods can't show you what the site looks like from the point of view because it probably would compromise there security. I assume if a hacker saw it they might be able to get enough information from the photo to aid them in there hacking efforts.

Also, like sonicheroes95 siad, "oh please, it's usually with a delete post button on the forum posts, a small button by the add friend button for banning people, and a button by the thread title for locking, complete with the ability to unlock by clicking the button again.
and before anyone asks, i'm guessing." It's probably nothing that cool looking.

I figure it looks like Asherlee enough. Missing the swords though.

I wasn't responding to your comment.

The weapon's are all the same, you are right indeed. They all leave you in the infirmary.
