Cum now Lisa.

Yeah.... Nah.

Could you stop your trolling even for just a few minutes? Would it be too much to ask? In case you’ve not noticed...we’re trying to brainstorm constructive ways of moving a forum forward.

Should moderators be 'in good standing' regarding suspensions and bans?

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.

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. Roll Eyes

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!!!

Sorry but Carl believes the majority of obesity is caused by medical conditions or medication and not lifestyle. He also believes the risk of covid is flat across the population.

Not a good advocate for a healthy lifestyle.

She stepped out for a walk finally yesterday & it wiped her out completely, still today.

And Andie isn't the only young person being affected like that.

And, yes - I know this is Canada but the same applies to Australia.

I'd be happy to MOD this board and I think I'd be one of the most qualified on the basis of my health. Surely the most health conscious person would be most qualified?

Here's my stats which may be regarded as a CV.

Body fat: usually around 12-15%
Resting heart rate: low 50s
Blood pressure: about 120/70
Cholesterol levels: 5 last time I checked?
Medical issues: none
Regular medication: none
Alcohol/drug intake: zero
Smoking: never
Sleep: 7-9 hours per night

Exercise routine
Cold plunge nearly every day
Sauna: 90m once a week
Weights 4 x per week
At least 10k steps per day
3 x HIIT per week (I'd love to get my VO2 max level checked but CBF)
5+km SUP session per week
A surf or ocean swim depending on conditions

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

Maybe the exact opposite of what is needed.

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.

What a load of self righteous crap this is!

Quote:

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 s

hit

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 f

uck

tard 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.

Quote:

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.
