I dont think there is a need for any Mods at this moment, maybe when BB is back on Admin may decide we need 1 or 2 more.... keep an eye out for applications.

16-05-2011, 11:32 AM
We have a lot of active mods at the moment but hopefully it'll get really busy for BB and we'll need more!

We need more active mods for BB.

People who beg to be mods should never be mods. If only for the hollow sense of satisfaction it fills me with.
Also, I should never be a mod. I'm amazed when people actually want to be mods. It's like being a government worker or something. Nobody normally cares if you suck a dick for a bit of crack but do it if you are in office and BAM!
Or something. Someone like me should be a mod though. As long as they don't enforce the swear filter because that's for knobs.

You would probably do a good job :) I don't know that many members here yet though, as I only joined here last year. If members had to put forward a name for a new mod or mods, I think JoeySteele would make an excellent mod.

Kids shouldn't be mods for a start. 20-25+. Some people are just plain overzealous.

Pretty sure Greg's only 19 or something
Because the forum is a mess, I would clean it up :angel:
Why is it a mess?
How would you go about cleaning it up?

Anno, it's a bit silly. Even though Greg's obviously a mature lad it still seems daft for adults joining up that they could be modded by a ****ing teenager.

I pretty much agree with a lot of your posts but not this one of yours. At the end of the day it is only modding on a forum and there should be enough mods to work things out between them, and age is irrelevant really past 18 for modding for obvious reasons of course, as maturity in decision making and handling of forum situations is more of a reason for choosing a mod surely?

Like I said ... overzealous. You're a fine member but mods need to be well spoken people who always take care with the content of their posts.
You're a bit err ... casual shall we say. I've seen you make loud noises in threads sometimes just to get noticed. There's nothing particularly evil about that - plenty of us are guilty of it - but we aren't the ones that should be mods IMO.
Some people just want to be mod because they want to be a mod. Bad people to pick, IMO. It should be seen as an extra bit of work you have to do in addition to being a regular member. Not a cool title to increase your own reputation.

Fair enough I agree it's not a huge deal as long as they are over 18. I suppose my real gripe is with 15 and 16 year olds begging to be mods as they usually do.
Just taking the mickbiscuit, to be honest.

:cat: I am indeed 19. I was 18 when I was made a moderator. I don't think age is really the issue, it's more the maturity with which moderators can deal with situations that arise on the forums. Essentially if you've got a track record of being infracted, you'd need to put a lot of effort into turning that reputation back around before you'd realistically be considered, etc.

Casual yes as i don't always take care with my punctuation. But i have never intentionally made 'loud noises' to get noticed. And i couldn't care about 'reputation' in the slightest. So please do not throw accusations at me when you don't know me.
But your opinion is your opinion and you can think what you like in regards to who should be a mod but don't accuse me of things that you have no proof of me doing. It may in your eyes seem that way but you don't know what i think when i post so don't assume anything please.

That's why they call it an opinion. I have formed it from what I have seen. Not based on who you actually are but who you are online. The way you come across. Of course I'm not judging you on a personal level. Personal level and posts are two very different things.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've heard you pining to be picked for something/annoucing that you are here/openly sympathizing with yourself because you weren't picked/noticed for something/etc. The reply you gave there just shows how neurotic and sensetive you can be about yourself and the way people percieve you. I just don't think moderators should be like that. If you disagree then that's cool.
I could be wrong, I could be right. It's just an opinion, nothing more. A daft opinion by some dude that probably won't ever be taken into account. It's nothing to sweat.
Remember I'm holding myself to the same standards. I would in no way think of myself as being good moderator material.

Actually it shows nothing. It shows I will do as I please and not let people like you with your opinions rule me.
I post in the same manner that basically everyone else does as those are the points of those particular threads. Im sorry if you get annoyed with me chatting on the chat threads. And I'll agree I announce when I'm around as i want to have conversations with people in places like 'The Asylum' and no one will talk to me unless I take the first move but not once have I complained about being picked or sympathised with myself in a serious way.
Not saying that I could be responsible enough to take on the role of a moderator is judging on a personal level as you do not know how I would act if I were given that responsibility. I do not think I would ever be picked for the role nor should I but assuming I couldn't do it because of my age is complete rubbish. It is also rubbish to assume because I explain the reasons behind my posts it makes me sensitive.

Where have I ever expressed an intention to 'rule you'?
And where did I say you annoy me?
These hysterical overreactions which you so clearly have a capacity for are why I don't think, personally, you would make a good mod. If you want to be a mod you have to be judged and put under scrutiny by the members. That's the whole idea. You can't say 'I would love to be a mod. You can't judge me though. Just make me a mod or don't'. Everything you seem to hate about what I'm saying to you here is part of the parcel of being a mod or even being considered to be a mod.
I just personally think the new mods should be like robots. Nothing more. Strict, precise, fair men of steel.

You act as if I don't read when i post when you do the same thing.
Whatever. I don't even understand what you are saying anymore man. You're posts are full of hysterical overreactions and non truths and you have basically told me why you wouldn't make a good moderator.
Just because I think members like you, members like me shouldn't be mods you took it as a personal attack and fought for your right to not be 'controlled' by people like me and my opinions.
Hysterical is not the word for it. This has gone on for too long and has served only to solidify my stance that young, reactionary people don't make for good moderator material. Well done.

If you don't understand what I'm saying how can you tell they are 'hysterical overreactions'. I never took it as a personal reaction or overreacted as you dont know the tone in which im writing.
However saying that the way I choose to post is not good enough for moderating is a personal attack, though I've never replied in that way.
You cannot say that I would not make good moderator material though because you've never witnessed me in the role. I wouldn't be a good moderator however its not your place to tell me wether i would be good or not.

Nah, but seriously, the main reason was that I had no life. Since joining til then I had probably spent about 14 hours a day on here, most of that was through the night, and they needed someone who was very active on a night time coz all of the mods were only on through the day. Was only meant to be a temp 'job' but ended up being permanent :)

Because hysterical overreations tend to take up massive paragraph space without really saying much.
I never took it as a personal reaction or overreacted as you dont know the tone in which im writing.
'I won't let people like you with your opinions rule me' sounds like an overreation, considering I expressed no intention to 'rule you'.
However saying that the way I choose to post is not good enough for moderating is a personal attack
No it's not. It's me deciding based on the way you post that you wouldn't be suitable as a moderator. We are all free to think that about each other. It's the internet. Not real life. It couldn't possibly be a personal attack.
You cannot say that I would not make good moderator material though because you've never witnessed me in the role.
You could say the same about a lot of special cases that lurk around this forum. The whole idea of picking a moderator involves basing it on what they would probably be like, based on what you have seen. Like it or not that's how it works.
I wouldn't be a good moderator however its not your place to tell me wether i would be good or not.
Yes it is. I don't need anyones permission to voice my opinion on who I think would be a good moderator. You may disagree with my opinion and that's cool but I am still entitled to have it whatever you think of it.
I hope that has cleared everything up. In short get over it.
