[Closed] Forum mods assemble

Ye gods, can you imagine? 😯

Ye gods, can you imagine?

Oh yes,imagine the fun you could have in there 😉

If people are objecting to giving money to the daily fail, does it count as a positive thing to relieve them of money?

I’d rather shit a pineapple.

I might apply for that so I can self moderate myself. My last account only lasted 6 days before being banned again.

Christ ,how much of a knob do you have to be to be banned from the mail?

Moderating Forums is a thankless task, so being paid ain't too bad.

I was a mod for a number of years on a popular cycling forum, but some of the 'crap' you have to sort out and deal with, before the members get chance to see it, is incredible. Some folk are really unpleasant 'keyboard warriors' - we had other mods who had met these folk and they were right wimps in real life, but put a keyboard in front of them, my god.

We had a situation where there was a group of 'members' who were like a clique, and ganged up on people - we were sure they were sending PMs between each other. When you edited their crap they would get abusive.

I gave it up in the end as it wasn't worth the hassle.

I believe it's the opposite.

'TALKING SENSE? SNOWFLAKE! BANNED!'

That would never happen on here fossy.

-[b]In-depth knowledge of current affairs from hard news to celebrity gossip[/b]

That's the STW lads out then 😆

In depth knowledge of bikes, we'd be in, but celebs ? Who ?

Brian Lopes?

Where's Colin?

Wasn't he that red faced driver from Hull?

I’d rather shit a pineapple.

Two and a coconut as well!

That would be a Pina the arse.

Hmmm looking at the contributors I’m guessing that DezB and sandwich are the anonymous mods on here. Or could it be bearnecessities, pimpmaster jazz and aracer

Or could it be bearnecessities

Having seen what he eats and obvious willingness to give his life for the benefit of fellow forumites it is quite possible, nay likely, that he'd give up his time on our behalf too.

(He also grows very good strawberries)

The Job Advert asks for 1+ year experience Moderating an online Forum..

Thats quite some experience criteria right there.

S'true, innit Drac.

If I was I'd ban everyone in that "forgotten music" thread 😡

Can’t be true you’re not a fun sponge.

Bikeradar?

I used to visit there, seemed to be 5-6 'core' members who ruled completely, you dare offer an opinion against the accepted norm and it was hell to pay! One of them WAS a proper bike mechanic though, big ****ing woop - I know 3 bike mechanics independently of each other - ask them a question, get 3 different answers.

Anyway, I'd LOVE to mod the Fail Site, I'd last about 30 seconds, I'd add "common sense" to the swear filter to be replaced with "My ill-informed, un-researched, fear based knee jerk reaction is" and let the hilarity commence.

Drac -

😆 that was weeks ago and you're still sulking

Fun sponge? I've [s]seen videos[/s] heard of such things, that's a hell of an interview method.

aracer - Member
Where's Colin?

*waves*

Thanks for thinking of me but I'm too busy with this place and a couple of Facebook groups to take on any others.

Bikeradar?

I used to visit there

No another - one that isn't affiliated to a magazine and is privately run. Alot of folk jumped from Bike Radar (or what ever it used to be called) to this forum.

As a mod you really do see what goes on in the background, and some folk really need a good kicking. We had a warning system, in that if someone really broke the rules they would get warning points. So many points got you a day's ban, then 3, then a week, then a month and then kicked off for good. Quite a few people were two points off a full ban.

Oh and don't get me started on mechanics or retired mechanics - pedantic little idiots that try and belittle newbies, or argue with experienced cyclists offering advice.

I'd quite like that job. In a, how quickly will I get the sack kind of way.

Sweet baby Jesus, five minutes and I’d want to melt their servers to slag, then nuke from orbit.
Actually, now I think about it...

Could be the most potent troll in recent memory if you had a spare couple of weeks.

I'm also slightly confused.. I really didn't think DaliyFlail readers had enough co-ordination to type never mind engage in online narcism.

Every day seems to some, a School Day.

online narcism.

Immigrants make me narky as well. 🙂

I’ll let you know when I start.

Flexible approach to shift patterns including weekend and night shifts

Fully expected that to read flexible approach to morals and ethics :/

UKMTB?

Nice try but no, I'm not. Too far from anything resembling proper hills here to be even considered.
