Tibb union representative

[thesheriff443]

Now that the appeals section has been removed do you think it would be a good idea to have someone on the forum who you can go to when you have a problem.

they can then contact admin or the mod team.

two candidates that jump out are greg and ben, both have previously been mods and have a very good understanding of the rules but are also willing to question the rules and decisions when they feel they are unfair.

what does the forum think?

[GypsyGoth]

I think Marcus would be a good choice. He gets things done.

It was Removed
because it was Abused.



We Do Like Fecking Unions
they are Corrupt.

Shouldn't that be what the mods are for, as absolutely nothing can go wrong when you throw another layer in there.

Who would actually want to do that anyway? every time you logged on, you'd have 150 notifications waiting for you, and that's all you'd get to deal with, instead of actually being able to post.

Bang On Right

Ahh I'm flattered you mentioned my name and it does sound like an idea that could work but I wouldn't want to do it, the main reason I stepped down from moderating is because it was ruining my enjoyment of the forum. I felt that if I was going to continue to be a moderator I would have to continue to hold back parts of my personality and just generally not be myself in order to uphold the moderating ideal of being unbiased and fair. Sometimes you do have opinions that you want to express and you do want to make jokes and posts that you couldn't really get away with making as a moderator without being accused of being contradictory or biased in some way. I'd never say never to doing it again but I'm glad I stepped down and returned to being a normal member, all you get is a lot of criticism and complaints and not very much satisfaction.

How Sweet

[Z]

It's much better just being able to post whatever pops into my head; like whenever I'd post in Serious Debates as a moderator and a topic would get heated (as you would expect for a debating forum) you'd feel like you were being judged as biased if you then stepped in to moderate after you'd already taken some kind of side in a particular topic so then it would put you off from even taking part in those sorts of threads and it's one of my favourite boards on the forum so yeah, I was glad I could return to posting what I liked.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Good idea, then we can plan some strikes unless The Truth gets reinstated.

It would have to be a commoner with a thick local accent mind

[Vanessa]

I think it's a good idea, sheriff.

[Josy]

That's what mods are for.

[arista]

No its not.


Mods are Good Here
and cover all this.

can you say what problems you refer to?

[Niamh.]

I don't understand why you can't just PM a mod yourself lol we don't discuss other peoples bans/infractions/warnings with other forum members

[Crimson Dynamo]

I don't understand why you can't just PM a mod yourself lol we don't discuss other peoples bans/infractions/warnings with other forum members

bans should be explained to all

[Niamh.]

bans should be explained to all

Why?

[Josy]

I don't understand why you can't just PM a mod yourself lol we don't discuss other peoples bans/infractions/warnings with other forum members

Exactly, so I have no idea why people think we would suddenly start discussing other members with a randomly allocated member :umm2:

bans should be explained to all

Member bans are nothing to do with anyone else and it's only through pure nosiness that anyone else takes an interest anyway.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Why?

It educates and will help people garner parameters and why not?

openness is far more desirable

[Josy]

It educates and will help people garner parameters and why not?

openness is far more desirable

Not breaking forum rules and therefore preventing infractions and bans in the first place is desirable.

[Niamh.]

It educates and will help people garner parameters and why not?

openness is far more desirable

Most times it's pretty obvious why people have been banned anyway :laugh: The list of rules are there for everyone to see so you shouldn't need to be educated on what gets you banned/infracted

If there is no good reason not to explain why you have banned someone then lets see the reason. I think it also stops mods getting power crazy :dog:


(I know you all throw your heads back and laugh like hyenas when you get the ban stick out)

Never

Sounds quite a tedious role if anyone were to take it up. I'm sure the mods would have a good laugh at their expense in the towers. There's nobody that neutral on here that fits the bill.

A banstick? How dare you.

i note that you dont deny the beard

[Livia]

No to a union rep. We've got Mods who are supposed to police the place.

I'm all for members coming up with suggestions though. After all, it's the members who make this place. I'd like to see regular suggestions voted on by the members.

[Tom4784]

Now you cast aspersions on my sexuality? When will this abuse ever end?

Sounds Sexy

I've always thought so, arista.

[Cherie]

Sounds Sexy

it does. Love the multitasking Arista, shopping for deals and able to comment on sexiness. Keep up the good work.

[thesheriff443]

it was just an idea!, no need to pull the arms off my doll!

[Kate!]

nah, no offence sheriff :love: it's a terrible idea....

it's the mods job and as someone said (not sure without reading back...think it was Jesus though) it's just adding another layer to a process, pretty spot on really - I actually don't mind not having appeals anymore, although it had good aspects, I used to rant like mad in there and it never achieved anything, it's ok as it is now I think, and you can choose a mod or admin to approach about things, there's nothing to stop us doing that, I find I get fair and honest replies nowadays, mainly because I try not to go at it like a raging bull like I used to, and try to let things go a bit more, it's as much to do with my attitude to them as it is to them doing their mod job ...... am aware I sound really goody two shoes here :laugh: but I'm being genuine, and as a result I am enjoying the forum a lot more again, like I used to.

[Kizzy]

Who is this katherine?.... bring back kate, she was cool :idc:

[thesheriff443]

yes you do!, mods are also members!.

This.

Thanks for the compliment but NEVER EVER would I be a mod on here again. 4 years was enough and then I got so tired of having to deal with all the pettiness and not being able to be myself on here. The amount of times I got criticised for having a laugh and not taking my job seriously then to be followed that I was too strict and harsh. Go figure.

It was like fighting a never ending battle and really sucks the fun out of this place. I'm much happier just having a laugh on here and pissing around, the reason I come on here. :hugesmile:
