Spock! (and all) Moderating yourself puzzle.

OK! Here's a question to ponder. This was prompted by the "self moderating" subdiscussion on the forum MIA thread.

There is a moderator on the open discussion forum who moderates all those who don't moderate themselves. Who moderates the moderator?

Howdy Kuan,
We do. That little button that says "tell the moderator about this post".

The Master Moderator, of course!

But then he'd be moderating himself, but he moderates only those who don't moderate themselves. This means he can't moderate himself or else he'll be moderating himself and not moderating himself at the same time which is impossible!

love those puzzles that eat up all your CPU resources! here's my favorite:

-what i am about to say is true
-the previous statement is false.

It's a system whereby all moderators are moderated by the Master Moderator, who in turn is moderated by each moderator, thereby becoming a circular moderating moderator moderating system. Each moderator is in proxy a Master Moderator thru this system of self-inflicted moderating, needing no external moderating to moderate the moderator OR the Master moderator.


It's a perfect system!! beautiful isn't it:p

Isn't that how the US "checks and balances" system works out? Or is the "checks and balances" system a way of the government saying "to hell with the balance, let's write a check!"

So who's moderating the moderator? Easy - The majority.

So we're a mob-ocrocy! Dad always warned me about those.
