Test Questions

Yeah that makes more sense.

Well the title moderator sounds pretty dang cool- so im all for that.
So basiclly what they do is just kinda like babysitting forums making sure they pertain to the topic at hand and arnt eliciting anything the site finds negative?

Ya, so a moderator gets a special set of tools that lets them edit and delete posts from members who get out of line or say inappropriate things. Usually moderators don't have to edit or delete posts frequently, but once in a while a bad user comes around and they just have to be banned.

Moderators are also people who members can go to if they have questions, concerns, etc. They make sure that people post stuff in the right forum, and if not, then they move topics to the correct forum.

Being a moderator is a pretty fun job, I think.

Oh right, yeah that sounds really cool. Thanks

I can make you a moderator once you've shown that you're an active member. So once you've done, say, 100 posts, I'll make you a moderator. Of course, only if you're interested in having that power.

Actually, "inferior good" is a vocab term, depending on which book you use. I use Mankiw's [u]Principles of Economics[\u], and "inferior good" and "normal good" are both in there. An inferior good is a good who's demand decreases as consumer income increases. If you have more money, you buy steak more often than you would otherwise, making steak a normal good. If you are poor, you buy stuff like ramen and Hamburger Helper more often than you would otherwise, making those inferior goods.
