What i find most funny is they only wanted people 'known' by the site admin - why didnt they mention that before offering it to everyone? I offer it to people that help others on my forum, not people i know. Oh just to clarify i never asked either
Don't try and read into something more than I meant. I said and I quote "There's people on here who's contributed for years with thousands of posts" which I believe is your good self. I'm surprised anyone voluntered to join site admin considering the abuse you people get anyway.
So because I don't post on here means I don't go to matches? OK. Personally, I don't see how it affects anyone on here. And I'm sure if any of those people wanted to be Moderators they would have been chosen over me.
Again though Dreamy, you seem to have missed the point Unless I'm mistaken (and I never rule that out) a moderator isn't representing this board. They aren't representing anyone. They're moderating... removing inappropriate posts that violate the site rules. Well defined site rules that are there to protect site admin from getting into hot water. The moderators aren't there to take sides in debates or correct anyone's footballing opinions. If they do their job right, it should be almost transparent. They aren't spokespeople for the board and they don't sit on golden thrones (I imagine). Just people who have volunteered to do a thankless task. And immediately, you're suggesting that people who didn't apply for the job should have been chosen instead of them!
RE: Again though Dreamy, you seem to have missed the point I've enjoyed debating this with you in a mature manner but we will have to agree to disagree and move on I think ya wrong about the golden thrones The names I mentioned were just examples. Amanda replied to me in the correct manner which was better than Lee being abusive yesterday just because he didn't agree with me. Loko was a decent choice as well. We rarely agree on anything but the one time I met him we shook hands and he's alright. Plus anyone who travels hours on end to watch us regularly play ***** is to be respected. It's bad enough getting home at around half five nevermind like 9 or 10 at night. I didn't say Amanda didn't deserve the position because I don't know her to say that. I just imagine out of those who applied there's people more deserving. It doesn't really matter so much who moderates but even though it's a thankless task it is seen as a privilage. That's why I think someone who's contributed to the activity of this board over a vast period of time is a better choice than someone who signed up four days ago and has barely a dozen posts. Anyway lets move on i'm leaving this thread now
Fair enough but I'll leave you with an analogy My recently retired mum (recently retired from work, not being my mum) applied to do some hours in one of the charity shops in tarn. You wouldn't stand outside the shop compiling a list of people who "deserve" to help out more would you? "Look... this woman here has bought more things in the shop than Mrs Mustang! Mrs Mustang Out! What's your name dear? You should be working in there... oi, come back! You get the first pick of all the bric-a-brac you know!"
Bit of a farce really The boss mans boyfriend, a fake person suddenly appearing ( I thought dual accounts were banned) and some foreign bloke. What about british jobs for british people eh Mr Brown!!!!
Is amanda *windy ? always thought he was a transvestite. Sure i saw him running out the green house weeks ago just before the fire.
