It was a dark and dreary Friday the 13th when I was selected from a group of elite initiates. The rain was pouring down and the thunder (not Thunder) rocked the building as we stood there in the announcement room shaking with anticipation. Suddenly the lights went out and Justin, thinking he was sly, got out one of those Twister (the game) spinners with everyones name on it and gave it a spin. He gave it three good spins. The lights came back on and he quickly concealed the spinner. He then walked up to the mic and announced my acceptance as a moderator. But now, thinking on it, I'm not sure if it was good luck or bad luck that got me here. The world may never know.

I can confirm this is accurate of our moderator selection process.

I got stuck with this:

Also if I had to pick a favorite song... It'd probably be Spaceman by the Killers.
 
I noticed that I accidentally sent a friend request, and can't figure out how to cancel it. Could you please tell me how to cancel after a friend request has been sent? Thanks. :)
 
How are bans achieved?
Rather, who has been banned, and for what reasons?

You have to do something serious to get banned permanently. Temporary bans are a lot more common, but even those don't happen very often.

To land yourself a temp-ban you'd have to keep breaking the rules. You'd receive a few warnings, and then infractions. Depending on what you're doing you could get 2 or 3 infractions before being given a two day ban. After that, if I'm the one doing the banning, I go to three days, then five days, and if I have to ban you again after your five days is up I bump it to two weeks.

I've only ever had one person I've had to ban multiple times like that. Their ban went all the way up to like.. two months.

Never mind, I figured it out. I just deleted the contact and saved, then added the contact again. I don't know if it deleted the friend request on their end, but it did on mine.
