How come the new mods are always the ones with Yellow/Shiny gem reps ?
Not always.
But considering the rep system is intended to reward helpful members who make a positive contribution to the forum, which is pretty much the job of a moderator, then it's quite a natural connection
Wasn't he on his own anyways..he had a lot to do managing all the Tech forum and all the subforums on his own. I thought there would have been a good few people moderating that forum anyways...
