Life as a Moderator of a Public Forum
People keep wishing me / Praising me about my Moderatorship at Pagalguy. I do accept that I have grown fast in Pagalguy rather I was accepted fast in Pagalguy.I joined Pagalguy in 2006 as a 29 year Old man looking for some motivation & help to crack CAT, eventually started helping one & all there, behaved in a balanced way when the results for the general guys got delayed & for the OBCs were denied..From then, I always wanted to pay back to this forum as it was the place from where I garnered lots of help/support, whenever required.After being promoted as a green Mod ie the sectional Mod, I could see a lots of difference in the way I post. Before becoming a Mod I used to write whatever I feel like straight from my Heart, but now I cannot do that, I can write about any person in whichever way I want (not slangs definitely), now I cannot...
Its not that easy to be a Mod..When I go and close a thread 10 of them are happy while 10 are'nt..When I warn a person about his public behaviour, he takes it to his heart & what not...
Today Iam a little depressed.I still remember saying that "The Results frozen thread" is my favourite thread as it brought out the true me..It projected me as a man..I had made some 200+ posts in that thread (as I was not a Mod by then) & today after 11 months, I just made one post there to "Close it off" as people were spamming there..
You may wonder why is this guy feeling so emotional about closing a thread..The Point is, it is just not a thread, atleast for me...I have a special feeling towards that thread as it keeps reminding me about what & all I felt when I couldn’t convert my IIMA call due to OBC reservations...

yipee.. nobody questions now :mg:
I respect you more now man...ur a good person.....God bless ya !!!
Hey Prem....Am sure you could draw the balance....Infact, I think, we should actually set up some sort of conditions for all mods that they should not change their post pattern, post modgiri ;)....In the long term, it ain't gonna help anyone if all mods are clones of one another.....Happy modding :)
Hi Prem, How was your CAT this time?....kitna aa raha hai?
