[Closed] Who would you nominate to mod and why?

Charlie the Bikemonger. Might as well eh.

TJ 😈

Brushes of fishtail parka and screws mirrors to Lamberetta.

Bring back fred...

Hora. Anyone who's penis draws comments on the basis of magnificence deserves an appropriate level of standing.

TJ

Who says he's not already? 😉

Captain Flashheart could be our twitter monitor

Hora

Bring back the tags they were often very very funny.

People that want power are the last people who should get it 😆 wow profound.

Captain Flashheart could be our twit[s]ter monitor[/s]

FTFY. 😉

That conspiracy theory loon - Khazi?

😆 @ CL! 🙂

Bradley Wiggins would make a good mod.

Lance Armstong!

Is there anyone well balanced enough??

yes dont let them know the history of it Cpt

Not sure it would make any difference

As far as I can tell the problems are
1. Different folk with different rules and who would want to mod 24/7
2. lack of explanation of their application of the rules- i have been banned for stuff when I dont see why and I have posted far worse stuff and nothing has happened

I have no idea where their line is drawn tbh and when you ask the silence is deafening till they smite you with the hammer

I also feel sorry for them to some degree as they cannot reply to all and I would not be here without moderation.

Who would I trust with the job
DruidH
Jamie
Drac- only one who admits what he is so that deserves respect IMHO
Darcy
Stoner

Bring back the tags they were often very very funny.

+1 bazillion

Removing them was the biggest kick to the balls this forum has had since the great hack of 1847.

Happy to make your day Jamie

*tips hat*

You're a gent, JY.

Ton. Never underestimate the power of fistpie.

Cheers JY, but dont assume you wouldnt be one of the first against the wall in my stonertopia!

Have you done a spreadsheet for stonertopia with graphs and everything 😉

Ernie ,he seems well balanced.

Real Man ,very good judge of a situation,and he likes films.

Kingkongspurist ,he would sort stuff out,no messing.

Z-11 or Woppit. So that when they banned you, they could illustrate the reasons why with a selection of spurious graphs and charts

Real Man ,very good judge of a situation,and he likes films.

He'd be spot on adjudicating on 'Classifieds' issues

Footflaps

Once banned theres no chance of anyone logging on again from inside his foil-lined, sound-proof, air-tight ban-bunker

spreadsheet for stonertopia with graphs

No. No I havent...

Me, I'd clean this place up and no mistake

Ernie? Well balanced? 😆

I nominate whoever post next after me.

Real Man ,very good judge of a situation,and he likes films.

He could mod the classifieds.[/s]

Edit: Waaaaaaay to slow.

Thank you fasthaggis, wasn't expecting that at all. (You're asking for trouble though..!) 😉

I'd probably nominate Cougar, if only for his jokes. 🙂

'takes tongue out of cheek,to let jaw drop' 🙂

JY - thank you for your trust. However, I have an issue holding the corporate line in the face off iniquity that probably makes me ineligible.

Footflaps

Technically I'm still serving a life ban under a different user name, although that was before the great hack of 1527, so all records have been lost.....

Now that is graph porn of the highest order

We should all have to do a stint, it would be an education as to how grim a task it must be.

That's completely impractical of course.

This post is glitch porn.

Kaesae or GW. Maybe they could jobshare

yup,Kaesae has his finger on a pulse . 😉

I wouldn't do it. Mind you this site is pretty tame compared to some I know.

Don't be bringing references to the other depraved filth you visit, young lady!!!! 😉

Send them to me, I'll vet them.

Modesty prevents me from making my nomination, but an internet order for a 'jumbo superwhammer' banhammer has been made.

Anybody who disagrees......

[i]Don't be bringing references to the other depraved filth you visit, young lady!![/i]

Yeah! Just email me the links. please.

I dont look at filth!!! ( well, occasional redit, but doesn't everyone?)

Just this site pretty much everyone knows the score. Sometimes it feels a bit like you're being picked on, I've been modded for stuff that other people seem to get away with, but I suppose it keeps the mongers away

I dont look at filth!!! ( well, occasional redit, but doesn't everyone?)

Reddit? Of course not. That's for young people.

but I suppose it keeps the mongers away

and this is where you have to tread carefully emsz: one persons "mong" is another persons "dyke".

Rarely intentional offence, but care needed all the same.

Now thats my job application completed, can I be a mod now? 🙂

[i]it keeps the mongers away [/i]

Charlie the bike monger always seems to slip under the radar.

It should go out to tender. I'm sure I could do it for less than the current Mods are getting.

I already reports more posts than anyone else so I'm half-way there. It would save a lot of emails if I could Mod them myself.

emsz - Member

but I suppose it keeps the [s]mongers[/s] mingers away

That would be the "minghammer". Vote for me. 🙂

pretty sure I give you a run for your money DruidH 😉

What I like most is the feedback you get.

Is the reporting bit a joke, druidh?

While I understand the need for an anonymous reporting function, I am puzzled by how frequently it appears to be used without an accompanying - I have just reported you because - post. [i]As a practice[/i] it seems a little underhand and not really that helpful. Perhaps that is one factor in other's comments about not undertandng the mod rules well enough, which I kind of agree with. I only found out much later that one person seemed to spend his whole time reporting my posts anonymously. Bit sad really. But you are left guessing that moderation is influenced more by the reaction to something than hard-and-fast rules. But given that is seems to work, perhaps we shouldn't complain 😉

Anyway, chapeau to the mods. This forum works well with a pretty good balance in addressing the more robust aspects on STW. And a pretty thankless task I would imagine - so thank you!

Yep - that crate of beer was very welcome before Xmas.

just got to finish working on a fix for the classifieds now 😉

[quote=teamhurtmore ]Is the reporting bit a joke, druidh?

I would simply refer you to the very first post on this page..

[quote=Mark ]

There are literally thousands of new posts every day and we simply can't read everyone of them, or even a small fraction, so we ask that if you spot anything you think we should be aware of then please use the REPORT function at the bottom of every post to make us aware of it. Please don't assume that if it is there that we have allowed it to stay - we just haven't seen it yet and [b]we need your help[/b].

Just doing my bit for the [s]community[/s] Mods.

THM i tend to report stuff i think they will care about - spam from paypal when a gypsy thread starts - we know where they end up - that sort of thing rather than report posts because IGAS.

I dont really report arguing baiting type stuff as tbh i have no idea what their rules are beyond inconsistent. I accept that is inevitable with a multi mod system rather than intentional

Would be interested to see what the top number of reports is I guess I do a couple a week???

Druidh, that's a good point but still think that an accompanying post would be helpful and poss save time for the mods. Bit of self regulation? But accept that this doesn't always work!

I only report DezB's posts.

...one person seemed to spend his whole time reporting my posts anonymously.

The "report post" option seems to be only available for me when logged in to my stw account.
How were they doing this?

I only report Jamie when he picks on me, and blames me for stuff. I never bothered before, until he blamed me for the birth of Margaret Thatcher. Thus implying that [i]everything[/i] that's ever gone wrong [i]EVER![/i] was indirectly my fault

loum - I think he means anonymously to him. i.e. without a post in the thread by the reporter saying why they felt the need to report him.

I got a free subscription for reporting elfinsafety 10 times. Apparently i was 'helping the cause' whatever that means.

No one person, a committee with all actions requiring unanimous agreement. I will draw up a list.

I dont really report arguing baiting type stuff as tbh i have no idea what their rules are beyond inconsistent.

Well there's also another reason why you may not report them. 😉

We do try to be consistent and people will often say they've seen worse posts but that's just it, if they're not reported we may well have not seen them.

Mark, Drac, Merlinman, earlier....

i have reported far worse than my last ban and those posts were not modded or deleted i was thinking of using some of them in the future to highlight your errors when I get smitted by the hammer.....would this be wise 😉

Why wait?

We also look at previous history. That's as far the discussion will from my side.

I always heed the advice of the mods [ often too late to read my emails and act on the warning though] 😉

Ooops, see what I said up there, that's pretty much standard stuff amongst my friends. Soz.

I'd be a rubbish mod LOL

I'd probably nominate Cougar, if only for his jokes.

I wouldn't be able to swing the Ban Hammer without whistling Crockett's Theme.
