Lol! I fell nasty now!
But you know what I mean dont you Matt?
And sunshine, dont worry, I have even confused myself!

Retroman 11-12-2007 04:55 PM

Personally...
I think that instead of anyone being replaced, the staff ive never seen online in the months that ive been here should just be demoted to members?

It seems to me that the only logical reason for some of those people still being staff is to avoid the situation of having to tell them "sorry, you're no longer staff" basically just being polite.

Or perhaps for the sake of history/past things they've done etc.

But some of them don't seem to be actually doing anything? or logging on? or posting? so what's their use/benefit to the forum?

Unless all these people are coincidentally away somewhere and planning on returning at some point.

Aren't we take it all a bit too seriously.:rolleyes:

As Kaz said, many of the mods only browse invisibly to check everything is OK. Just because they dont post every day doesn't mean they are not doing theire jobs.

Retroman 11-12-2007 05:42 PM

Well if the role of a Super Moderator/Administrator is to browse forums invisibly to check things are ok...

Then that's fine.

Those people being staff doesn't cause any harm, and their names being on the staff list is no problem to anyone. Just doesn't seem to be any point in some of the names still being there, that's all.

But i'll sleep well tonight knowing their names are still there...hopefully.

I think Red Moon would fill the position of admin rather well if the opportunity ever arises.

GiRTh 11-12-2007 05:48 PM

I think the role of Moderator/Administrator is somewhat self explanatory. As Kaz said, when Big Brother is on you'll see all the mods logging on at various time of the day as the forum is always incredibly busy during any Big Brother. At the moment the forum is rather quiet so there is no need for all of them to be logged on for large parts of the day.

Magic 11-12-2007 06:00 PM

I agreee with Retroman here, but then they do come on during BB, then that sort of fills their positonion.

As PS pointed out, one has only made one post this year.

Retroman 11-12-2007 06:05 PM

Ah ok, so they're the extra help through the time period that Big Brother is on...

Suppose that makes sense.

Though I haven't been a member of the forum whilst a Big Brother series has been on television, so ive no idea how busy they get, or if they're under staffed, over staffed or appropriately staffed at that time.

Guess i'll find out next year sometime.

Sunny_01 11-12-2007 07:13 PM

All of the mods that are listed still come online and do their bit. They may not actually make posts but that is really not the point. They all fulfill the job of Moderator when they are needed.

It is a lot different when BB is on, everyone mucks in at different times and it works just fine.

Exactly.:thumbs:

Mods/admins are normally on a lot more frequently during BBs - or at least, that's been the case with BB7, CBB5 and BB8. It works well though, because so many new members register and there are so many new threads and posts, most of which of course are to do with BB. But the moderators manage to keep tabs on pretty much everything that goes on, as well as other issues that need to be dealt with. They do a fantastic job on here! Once the BB period is over, the forum is a lot quieter and more geared towards general discussion less frequently - but still quite pleasant nonetheless. Plus, there is less need for the moderators to be as active and sort out posts etc.

Sticks 14-12-2007 05:10 PM

BTW I am flattered that some thought I ought to be a Mod, but there are no vacancies at this time

Thank you for thinking of me

Di2001 15-12-2007 02:15 PM

I work Monday to Fridays, 9am to 5.30pm so only get to put my "Mod" hat on outside of these times. I'm also married so have a hubby and house to keep "in order"!!

I try to get on as much as I can to keep an eye on things and like Kaz, I sometimes come on "invisibly" :wink:

ThaGazBoi 15-12-2007 02:20 PM

It's a crime that BigSister is'nt a mod to be honest. :O
