What is the life of a “Moderator Kongregate”"?
How do you feel? how is it? What gets? and after?, more than you!

If you’re curious to see what it’s like to be a Kongregate moderator, you need only to look in the mirror.
Contrary to popular belief, it’s really not much different from being a non-mod.
We’re normal members who have fun by playing flash games and chatting, just like anyone else. We enjoy the community.

Never heard that one before. xD
I doubt many cats are that good at coming up with punny badge names!

I didn’t choose the mod life, the mod life chose me.
My average Kongregate day in a nutshell: I open up the forums to see what’s new up there when I first log in. Then, I open up the badge of the day game. When I complete it, I either pick a new game to play or play my favorite idle game Just Trolling. As soon as the chat loads, I engage into chatting with fellow users. Occasionally, I look at the forums on other tabs and post there whenever I am compelled to. Oh, and I moderate whilst doing all of this. As you can see, it’s not that different :)

Slightly related to the topic (I don’t really want to make a new thread for this), Can Moderators/Admins IP ban a user?

Pretty much what V said. It will vary on a site by site basis, but I think for most places he is right.
I use to be a mod for a since closed site called nutrinopets. Mods had little to nothing “expected” of them. We got different colored text in the forum and could mute people/delete posts. It almost never even came to that because everyone was generally well-mannered. I think in 1 year+ that I was a mod there(before I got bored of pet-sites) I actually used my mod powers 2 or 3 times. For the most part, it’s the presence of the existence of a mod that helps keep people in line.

Admins can, but they don’t. Part of this is the desire to give people another chance at behaving. Part of it is not wanting to ban innocents who may either share the IP or get assigned the IP after the offender releases it. They don’t want to shut out 20 potential legitimate users (who all represent potential revenue) for an unreliable block of a single offender.

Being a mod is not that different from being a regular user.

Admittedly you feel different when you first get modded, but after about a week that wears off and nothing feels different than when you were a non-moderator.

Ultimately, this
Would modship change my ego personality as an user of kongregate? Not much. Instead of hitting flag post button, I’d remove or move the post or instead of having to call a moderator into a chatroom, I’d silence obvious rule breakers by myself
It’s not much
Also, I am a mod and a curator on one site. You feel so much more responsible than before, but since you’re not obligated to do anything, it doesn’t change your user experience much
