So, probably time for a new mod here too.

We need someone who is healthy unlike the previous Mod.

Aqua would be good.

BY GOD - YOU'VE GOT IT!!!

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

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.

FFS Carl ... just Mod the joint.

I’ll pay you. 😐

You think I’m joking ... don’t you?

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.
Many 'average' players in sport, have gone on to be great Coaches. While many great players have gone on to be crap Coaches.

Dangerous stuff, analogies.

Shouldn't the capacity for self-moderation, at least to the point where the poster hasn't been suspended/banned for rule-breaking, be a prerequisite for a moderator?

I do see your point. But I just think that the Powers that be above - don't see it that way. That's all.

So, these powers-that-be don't have an issue with a poster not 'in good standing' regarding suspensions/bans?

I beg your bloody pardon?? I’d rather die than be appointed Co Mod with Mister Moron over Multiculturalism.

I honestly cannot stand the racist multi prick! I can’t even imagine being alone with him in a Mod Room. I’d be screaming for Freediver to come and rescue me from him every 5 minutes. 🥺😩😔

Question to all : Which friend of mine was recently banned? Mister Moron keeps making this allegation but refuses to name said ID. I’m left assuming this BS is yet another symptom of his clearly exacerbated fractured fairy tale syndrome.

It seems - no they do not.
FD, VIC and Setanta are a funny trio.
Hard to pin down.
Hell, they let Monk Mod a Board here, let alone allow him to be here at all.
They did at least get rid of that 'criminal' AiA finally.

Cum now Lisa. Both you and Meister Eccy have wet senses of humour. Both of you need to bump uglies together and get along. Wink

Many 'average' players in sport, have gone on to be great Coaches. While many great players have gone on to be crap Coaches.

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.
Shame it was sabotaged by Redmond Neck and Bobby admitted that he let the Board down (so much for Master Light's teachings Roll Eyes

).

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.

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.
