From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
Peering behind the curtain...
Published on January 4, 2008 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

WinCustomize came into being almost 7 years ago now.  In that time, we've registered over 3 million users, processed tens of thousands of skin uploads, participated in countless forum threads, answered emails, PMs and more.  The life of a moderator is always a busy one!

And while we've always tried to be transparent in what we do here, sometimes our job may seem a bit mysterious or confusing.  Normally you could just fire off an email to one of us with a question, but sometimes you might hold back because it's not about a specific skin you uploaded, or may not be all that pressing an issue.

In the spirit of ZubaZ's Ask a Master article, I'm going to start a spin-off; Ask a Moderator.

I'm seeking questions from the community that you'd like to see the moderator team here at WinCustomize answer.  Do you wonder why they moderate the queues they do?  Do they have a favorite skinner?  Do they have an innie or an outtie?  You get the idea.

Post your questions below, and I'll pick out my favorites to ask the moderators.  Please, no questions about why your specific skin was moderated a certain way, or recieved some rating.

Sorry I couldn't pass that one up.

Well I have a few questions:

How many people here have met the moderators in person? Heck - how about members that have met each other for that matter?

Also, has there ever been or have you thought about having a get together somewhere for people to meet?

New question:  How many exiles is the record for one day?  Do you think that record could be beat?  What mod would you bet could beatr the current record?

I'm tempted to set a new record, starting with you...

For anyone not familiar with WinCustomize, folks round here like to have fun. Skinning should be fun, and it's what makes this such a great place to be

Could meet at my place. But, skinners only, no WAGS. That means you Aussies will have to leave your sheep at home

I would assume it may have to be a regional thing with everyone scattered but could be done I would think.

I tried to set up a get together a few years back with all the people here in Texas.  Didn't work.
