Maybe merge this with Health and Welfare.

The fewer boards the better.

Go fix your own PA Forum you loser.

Shrinking the horrendously long front page will be good.

Travel with Tavern

Womens Issues with Health

2 less boards good!

The way the membership has shrunk and changed will not be able to find decent Mods for every MRB now.

lol... sure... let's go with that, shall we?

If he gives the same health "advice" here that he gives in the Coronavirus section half or more of the forum members could be in hospital (or worse) within a month or less if they followed it.

(Hint #1: Spraying yourself with Roundup on a regular basis probably isn't the best thing to do for your health)

A better and more positive outcome would to remove you as Moderator of any Board on this Forum and permanently ban your arse back to your own PA Forum where you can vomit your own blathering rubbish to your hearts content.

You're like a dog with rabies who bites the hands that would otherwise try to help.

BY GOD - YOU'VE GOT IT!!!

But I think CARL D has an equal quality to run for Mod here too!!!

One of the criteria for a mod should be no recent suspensions or bans.

Or is that already a prerequisite?

Do mods have access to posters' personal information - as much as it is required to register here?

Mods only know the following information about you: how morbidly obese you are, how many ids you use to chat to yourself with (in your vain attempt to hide the ridiculous number of hours and posts you make on OzPol each day) as well as your myriad of psychiatric issues. In fact Mods even joke about it with other Mods. Why are you pretending to ask?

Oh they also know if you’re a dole bludging numpty too.

I think you Meister Eccy and Great Divide would be good Moderators. You both don't have that 'Dictator' style about you at least.
What Board would you like to Mod, if given the chance?

I’m surprised he’s not been appointed yet.

Are you talking about your poster 'friend' you blow smoke up? Was banned for multiple ids, apparently.

That, and an obsession with exposing 'multi-ids'...

A poster who admits to genetic issues, who projects psychiatric issues.

I'm guessing you've been suspended recently.

Thanks Jas.

But, as I've said once or twice in the past... even if the 'job' paid there isn't enough money (or headache tablets) in the entire world to make me want to be a Mod in this place... for ANY of the boards.

I know you disagree with them both.
As do I occassionally.
But they are of sound mind to at least make the effort to provide reason, examples and more than one sentence to at least take them seriously.

Well that's a shame. I think You or Aqua would be a fine Mod for this Board or even others as I know you both wouldn't need to resort to 'Dictatorship' and ruin the Boards for all - like Peccary, Monk, Brian have done and Phil has potential to do. It just ruins the Forum as a whole.

Is it that a poster who's been recently suspended/banned from this place is still eligible to be a moderator here?

Why not? Just because they might be weak as a Member, doesn't mean they will be so as a Moderator.

Don’t post AT me Mister Moron except to advise WHO this poster friend of mine was that you keep referencing regarding being banned. What is the ID? I honestly have no idea.

It would have to depend on what they were banned for but, in general, anyone who cannot control themselves as a member and carries on with these incessant feuds that ruin most threads would only behave worse as a 'mod' imo.

Many of the boards here have been completely ruined with the "you're banned" "no you're banned" mentality, the deletion of posts from those they don't like and the misuse of a board because they won't post in the relevant board because they don't like the 'mod.'

It's like a kindergarten for ferals.

Having said that I think Aqua would be a good mod for health because he always keeps his cool whilst under attack, is conscious of his health, doesn't return fire with more abuse and he's not petty like so many others. 

And I think Jasin would be perfect for the Tavern.    :)

Well said Black Orchid.
I agree that Aqua would be good for this Board as Mod.
But I can also see Carl D being good - but he doesn't want the responsibility, etc, etc.

Let me add that you were a Great Admin of FD's PA Forum.

Firstly - I have no issue with Aqua being put forward. The poor sod gets a lot of ghastly abuse thrown at him by the Mongs. In fact it IS very shocking and I often find myself quietly encouraging him to not be so affected by it because it is so savage.

The problem with your post Black Orchid is this : OzPol essentially consists of multi ids - some shared even. How this has transpired is beyond me. It’s a divisive/destructive/deceptive tactic which disguises people’s true personality and character. A Mod could well be voted in on the basis of that Mod’s IDs/shared IDs voting in favour of itself.

There’s no scope for transparency or honesty in the process. In fact it is precisely THIS flawed process which destabilises and ultimately destroys a forum.

The safest option therefore (IF multi ids are allowed to register and post) is for forum Mods to be appointed by Freediver and both GMods.  That way the decision is final and we can all get on with posting.

I disagree.  The vast majority of people here are singular different people.

Aussie voted himself in as EL at PA with his vast array of socks that, most of which, I'd previously banned but FD, Set and Vic are too smart to allow that here.  You need to give them some credit.

Actually I’ve spoken with these 3 about my concerns. Hence my previous post.

As regards PA :

1. What destroyed it was MULTI TROLLS (which were essentially MONGS).

2. The PA Admin position should also be appointed by Freediver but it ought to be on a rotating shift basis (say every 6 months). The panelists should INITIALLY consist of these 3 ids : Aussie, Black Orchid and Super Nova. Freediver can/should edit that panel.

PA is finished under Aussie -
only 4 posts in the last 7 weeks about how there are no posts since Sept 20th.

NO-ONE is interested in PA anymore so all suggestions are moot.  Aussie got what he wanted and it's dead.  Time to move on like everyone else has done.

My post was highlighting HOW it got there. It would not have mattered WHO was in the Admin position.

Ok so let’s get real here for a moment :

WHAT devoured that forum were a number of key reasons. Multi Mong Trolls weren’t just the major players.

One other key player in PA’s sabotage was AiA. Dear God that malevolent ID was cruel ESPECIALLY behind the scenes in its constant attacks against 2 main targets:  Aussie AND Black Orchid. I’ve retained said PMs. These took place HERE on OzPol but over a long period of time. (I recently had the chance to quietly read through them and I realised his focus was forever on these PA ids : Aussie and Black Orchid).

The fact that AiA got to be a PA Admin a NUMBER of times under the terms of The Constitution of PA should have been enough of a red flag that the Constitution was faulty AND not fit for purpose. I was of course too busy with family and a poor dying Mum to really undertake much of a root cause analysis but if we were to take an honest look at what ultimately destroyed PA it’s this : It was PA’s own Constitution. The document essentially allowed the likes of AiA into power and once there precedents were set which triggered unrest and upheaval. The ensuing tumultuous turbulence was exacerbated by the encouraged use of armies of multi ids (some shared some not shared). So the multi Mongs jumped in and trashed whatever was left.

I see.

Well when you get 'nice members' (like Carl D) who refuse to run for positions of responsibility and the only ones yelping for 'power' are the evil Troll types.
It seems its the failure of the Good, that allowed the Bad to take control.
Can't blame Black Orchid - she tried, did well but her time was up apparently.
As for the other 'Good Members' - well they didn't lift a finger to prevent the likes of AiA, Redmond Neck, Aussie - taking control.
Bobby at least admitted that he 'caved' like a Science Officer Ash and let the Aliens in just like he pleaded to have Monk return back here in the name of his 'forgiveness' crusade. ::)

Not a good advocate for a healthy lifestyle.

Yes there are exceptions to every rule. Pull up some Govt stats that show the risk profile for adolescents. Dare ya.

For the record, my opinion on who should get covid vax and boosters is dependent on each persons personal circumstances.

I was initially of the opinion we should all get it, but now I firmly believe children and adolescents should NOT get it unless they have a serious underlying condition.
The older and more unwell you are, the more you need it.

What a load of self righteous crap this is!

It would have to depend on what they were banned for but, in general, anyone who cannot control themselves as a member and carries on with these incessant feuds that ruin most threads would only behave worse as a 'mod' imo.

On that basis, you should never have had any buttons at PA.  You were always knee deep in the 'incessant feuds' and loved fuelling them with bans.


Quote:

Many of the boards here have been completely ruined with the "you're banned" "no you're banned" mentality, the deletion of posts from those they don't like and the misuse of a board because they won't post in the relevant board because they don't like the 'mod.'

Bloody hell, the sheer arrogant hypocrisy!!!!!  You banned the poo out of PA so that the only people left (and even they got fed up and left way before I came back) were your extreme right wing buggertard mates including neo Nazis from the Yank Forum.

And when was the last time you posted in Relationships?  You don't post there virtually at all because .... um..... why?  Because you don't like the Mod there!!!!!  Mind you, I don't care about that one iota.

Having said that I think Aqua would be a good mod for health because he always keeps his cool whilst under attack, is conscious of his health, doesn't return fire with more abuse and he's not petty like so many others. And I think Jasin would be perfect for the Tavern.    Smiley

There is the BO kiss of death for both of them.  No way would I support anyone supported by BO.

Here's something.

People currently banned from EE (which I'd be trading for this board) ZERO

Having said that, I'd MOD this board VERY strictly and non health related posts or sledging would be deleted.

Well ...here’s something else :

I’d be the last person offering to put my hand up for modding Health and Welfare. Why? I’d be putting up topics left, right and centre about everything affecting women. You guys would be bored sh1tless.....within 24 hrs.

Now that he's 'ruler' - only tumbleweeds and crickets chirping.

I would be happy to see Gordon Mod here too.
But it might be difficult for him to convince FD to give him the old 'switch-a-roo' from the Extremism Board.

Carl D doesn't want the responsibility, but will bag Aqua if he becomes Mod.

Aqua looks like the only starter so far.

EE has 81,159 posts - it's a major MRB.

Why would you downgrade to a minor MRB as H&W with only 7,192  posts?

They can't even ban anyone.  All they can do is make their own little lists of people they dislike and want to ban.  If someone they have on their ban list dares to post in their little fiefdom all they can do is dob them in to FD, Set or Vic and demand they be banned.

They'd be the ones who throw a lay-down Misere of offending - serial PM offenders, making wild allegations about posters, claiming to be on the inside with Gmods and the forum owner, likely suspended multiple times... who then put their hand up to be moderators.

Another ID covertly pushing the agenda of another shared ID really does express the 'multiple personalities' of a Schizophrenic and doesn't paint the original ID in good light.

Are you a serial PM offender? Why would I have a problem with you?

I've been banned heaps, more than anyone here. Mostly because I upset the Trolls who always squeal because they don't like their own crap thrown back at them.

Well, maybe not a Multi-Sock-ID. You do post 'smart' stuff that makes me wonder how the likes of the Trolls could be you.

...just checking. ;)

Most of the posts here have an element of trolling about them, although I'd call it mostly piss-taking.

I wish Sappho was here.

You have ASPD: https://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1617167598/870#870

No, you have tried to pin that label on me without success. When it comes to all the trolling, doxxing etc you do that you can NEVER apologise for it is clear that YOU are a psychopath, a conscienceless nasty piece of work, extreme ASPD. A piece of shit.

Every time you try to claim I have ASPD you fail, every time I show you are a psychopath I give solid evidence in support of my claim.

Aussie,
Admin either here or at PA could only see PMs if
they changed the password of a member and then used that password
to enter their account.
The member would know as they would no longer be able to log in
and what the mod would have done would be recorded in the moderator logs
as proof of their malfeasance.


Aussie,

EE has 81,159 posts - it's a major MRB. Why would you downgrade to a minor MRB as H&W with only 7,192  posts? It's a passion project. It's a demotion.

Booby thinks being a Mod of a big, tho failing MRB, gives status.

Given only Booby and lees, occasionally Larry keeping Booby sweet post in the failed MRB called, ironically, Environment, clearly being the Mod of that failed board gives no status.

Booby would be happier in Fringe or Critters and Gardens (since he never posts anything else) but that is a “little” board so he clings onto modding Environment.

It was one of the big four boards, now it is the little sister of the other three.

Monk,
there's a reason you're a mod of a tiny insignificant MRB.     ::)

My board put on many more than your board did in the number of posts.

Tiny, Large—who the hell cares except a gaylord with psychological problems?

See, there you were trying to disparage me and my board. Do you really need more proof that you have ASPD?

You deleted the previous MRB you had - Fermentations -

that was from your ASPD.

Why would you be trusted with an important MRB?

It was not from ASPD.

As I have told you before, gaylord, it was a response to actions by a GenMod. That Mod buggered off quick when I did that and GMods have not invaded MRBs since.

You should be thanking me, idiot, as I have told you more than once before, but nothing gets through that thick, thick skull of yours, eh high school dropout?

Nope. You obviously do not read the stuff you post links to.

Factual matter is not ASPD. Some have thick skulls and limited information intake and processing. You happen to be one of those. You hate the world because you are not rich and famous. It is YOU holding you back.

The EL of the sewer can read members’ PMs—by changing the password of their accounts then logging in to that account.

Doubt Shonk would do that, not legalistic.

I do not believe that was what Black Orchid was referring to given the context of her words.

She may have been allowed greater access to the inner workings at PA than any other Admin had or has.

Her comment sticks out like dog balls.

Yes it does.

I tried to respond, did not post what I thought.

Even the ultimate Pujab in control of a forum tho—cannot read PMs without invading a member’s account. But by cleverly selecting accounts PMs can be read as I explained.

Be good to really have a good look at the Admin log there, Aussie!

I’ve got a question:

Is it possible for someone at Admin level to bypass the password at log in and jump into someone else’s account?

yes - we could change a password for someone's account.
Then when they used that they were asked to change it to a password
that only they knew.

If a Gmod changed someone's password that person would know
as they would no longer be able to get into their account.
The Gmod would have to tell them the new password.

It's all recorded in the mod records so any skullduggery would be known about.

Not if the EL could edit the Mod and Adm logs. . .

I sure hope this thread doesn't get deleted in due course.

I've bookmarked it.

Because if anyone asks me again why I never want to be a Mod in this place I intend to post a link to this thread and ask them "any other questions?"

Almost everyone throwing insults here have clearly shown why they should never be a moderator to anything ever.

Not really, I just removed some rubbish and forgot to delete the split topic notification.  All is well.

Once the Tavern is sorted out, we can run an Expressions of Interest for this board.     I was just awaiting a return email before we went further
