I been having problems with this name for the task these people do.

Moderator comes from the wordt moderate. theres great - moderate - crap. Moderator would be somebody that makes things moderate. Yet dont moderators make sure things stay great? (like calling a bus-driver a helikopterpilot imo...)

i think the name moderator has been given by players, cause they feel things where great untill the moderator lowered the mood to moderate.

Now, moderator isnt very respectfull of the person executing the task.
I vote for a logical name for these people and their functions.

say: Banlover, Counter target spell (CTS), or awesome-O, or Game-Police


what do u think?

It is derived from the word moderate,
moderate as a verb in the infinitive
-to moderate

verb (used with object)
8.
to reduce the excessiveness of; make less violent, severe, intense, or rigorous: to moderate the sharpness of one's words.
9.
to preside over or at (a public forum, meeting, discussion, etc.).

citation

You read it as a noun and not as a verb.

The word moderate can be used as a noun adjective and a verb , in the name moderator it defers to the verb (inf) to moderate. At least that is my understanding, not the adjective form which is as you said great -> moderate ->poor.

I always assumed it was a word derived from 'to modify'. A modifier already being taken for things that modify, the word moderator was created for the man who makes the modifiers.

But that's just what I always assumed,

Yours sincerely,
Demigan.

Moderator. From the Latin moderator (funnily enough), derived from moderor: "mitigate"; "manage"; "regulate".

Someone who moderates; an arbitrator or mediator.

Thus, the moderation staff arbitrate the game venues, ensuring that the rules are followed.

Nothing to do with "moderate" as in "mediocre" or "neither liberal or conservative".

It'd be more fun to call them Trollcrushers and allow them to do so.

I prefer "Ultra Supreme Divine Issuers of Righteousness, The Ultimate Arbiters of Truth, The Most Unstopppable In Their Quests for Justice, The Adjudicators That Shall Pierce The Heavens With The Unconquerable Power Of the Almighty Rules of Conduct, The Noble and Mighty DarkSpace Staff, Empowered By Faustus The Omnipotent Himself, The Moderators."
