@gambrel saidWhen it comes to social intelligence, I think VR wears a triple-D, whereas some of the cleverers do not.
No, the first requirement is:
A moderator must have a double digit IQ
HOWEVER, if becoming a Mod meant that Rusty would have to stop posting, then I would prefer that he continue as a regular member.

I believe the Mods can still post but I rarely see them post and usually not anything really controversial anyway. I'd certainly miss that even if some think I don't have double digit IQ, they might be surprised if they found out I had triple digit IQ 🙂
IQ tests are made to have an average score of 100. Psychologists revise the test every few years in order to maintain 100 as the average. Most people (about 68 percent) have an IQ between 85 and 115. Only a small fraction of people have a very low IQ (below 70) or a very high IQ (above 130).
While chess encompasses certain cognitive skills like spatial visualization, pattern recognition and memory, it is too simplistic to say only these cognitive functions constitute intellect.

@mchill saidThe only way I know is because I was around when their names use to be posted.
I don't care who the moderators are.
That didn't work out well so then they became anonymous. EDIT: I must say there was one man stepped forward and said who he was. I still have respect for him doing that. I am just assuming they are still moderators, I really don't know for sure of course.
It is a tough job and from what I hear they do it on their own time for nothing. I don't think there is as much bias as there once was, of course everyone is older now. You only been around for 6 years, unless you are using a new user name.
