Apologia Pro...The Mods...
(I like Wilfred Owen, he owns your soul)
Sometimes I think that the moderators on ye olde Gee-Ess-Bee are far too underrated, it annoys me to some great degree. I mean, hell, if I was offered thejob on a silver goddamn platter I would say:
"Dude, Oh Awesome Dujo, I cannot accept this."
Seriously, I couldn't handle the pressure. Consider this; GSB is the place were most people hang out, chill, make friends, talk about Green Day or whatever, bitch about our real lives and basically, socialize on a global scale. I'm so happy I found this site! Seriously.Because of GSB, i became a stronger person because I had to grow up goddamn fast on here, I found something that I thought I never would - love- and I found a hidden talent- poetry. I never wrote poetry before I came on here. Now I'm addicted to them. GSB has been an outlet for all the terrible and great thoughts to break from my shut-off mind and translate themselves into words. I never had that before. Sure, I'm barely Little Miss Sunshine (judging by my earlier entries) and I know I must not be the worst off kid on this site. I know that I have scraped along the borderline of insanity and I'm still there, in the middle of everything.
I'd call myself an outsider on here. I don't hang with the jounrnal folk, I don't whore myself, I don't have balls, I can't debate to save myself, my poetry is mediochre at the best of times, I don't really have a favourite member of Green Day anymore, I don't have a million pictures of my life to share and to be honest when I do go on a thread nowadays I feel kinda guilty because I feel like I am intruding. I don't cut at my wrists and I'm not being bullied (specifically anyway), I'm not abused, I don't drink, smoke or take drugs, I don't really care about who's popular anymore.
Popularity is for losers.
There are no differences between the cliques in the world. Not really. All there is; is variations of the two main classes of people, normal and crazy. Everything is black-and-white, no matter how people disguise it.
So, stop thinking that the mods are these like...stuck-up superiors that just wanna ruin your party or make the "populars" more popular and you less liked. They don't need to do this job. They don't get paid. Most of them wanna party like you do but someone has to be the host, don't they? Make sure we don't trash this place and get GSB shut down? Keep everyone fairly happy?
if you cannot be thankful for it, i feel very sorry for you.

I was a mod. It's a harder job then people realize.
And thankyou for not hating them. <3 They're there for a reason.

I banned myself before, 'cause Im xkor like that.
Serena is a pretty awesome mod too.

Some people think mods are total idiots cos they ban people
Hun, mods don't ban people. XD
I gotta agree with Kurtni though, I really am glad not everyone thinks we are all bad.
Reading that really makes one think, it really does. And it's amazing what a simple site can turn into and do for so many people.

Some people think mods are total idiots cos they ban people

Im glad not everyone thinks we're horrible
Kurtni, March 28th, 2007 at 06:35:36pm
Wow.. that really made me think
especially:
'Everything is black-and-white, no matter how people disguise it.'
Wow..
I agree. Mods just do their job.. they're not total a$s for banning somebody cos they spammed or something..
And I have become stronger thanks to GSB, most of my friends are from GSB
I met a few and it's cool that so many people are united by one band from a small town in America
