In my opinion....we need two new Mods.
 

Twice recently I've pleaded for assistance with separate threads and there's never anyone around. As far as I'm aware there are only two active mods plus James. Josy is rarely to be seen. Niamh and Matt can't man the forum consistently 247 between them.

It’s a big brother forum not an emergency service forum

Never said it was. Just said it's my opinion they are woefully understaffed. It's quite valid that there's nobody around when stuff gets reported and things wouldn't escalate the way they do.

Be careful what you wish for when Nicky rocks up :laugh:

God forbid. He'd make a terrible mod. As would I. I admit it.

tbh Kate you could just put certain people on ignore?

That doesn't mean there's not a need for new mods though, we are definitely going to have to have some when BB starts I believe at least. And also, other people read what's being said about me even I were to use ignore and I don't want that . Nobody likes being badmouthed?

well that is a good point

Annie would make a good mod, she always comes across fair.

People I reckon would make quality mods.

Annie
Hijaxers
Cherie
Dogeatdog
Swan

Impartiality being a key quality, I reckon those all possess it.

There are some lovely others who I adore but would not make good mods if I've not named you.

Yes, i definitely wouldn't make a good mod. :laugh:

kill me now

You're too soft hearted my lovely.

LT I has pmd you. X

Unless the site goes back to the size it was, say 7 or 8 years ago, it won't be getting or needing new mods.

Annie and Ness are the only ones that haven't been in drama with folks. Annie is around infrequently and I doubt ness would even want to deal with pissed off people all the time.

No new mods were added a couple of years ago before the previous exodus, and it was still just the 2 doing it then.

Nimah has to be congratulated for the **** she has to deal with but I agree with Slim, unless there’s a massive influx of new members in the next few weeks, it’s not needed. People have lives and can’t be on 24/7.

There’s a way to stop things escalating, that being don’t escalate it :shrug: People take this site way too seriously

Yeah no way for me. I don't want mod, and like i'd ever be considered for it anyway :joker:

The way to stop things escalating is .... don't start it.

I don't like conflict. And it happens a lot at work. My usual reaction is this : :dog:

dont worry ness xx

That fiery, Latin temperament must have skipped a generation.

It's skipped to me. I'm hot-headed. People know it and deliberately wind me up.

I'm a lot mellower now. Not as fiery as I once was :laugh:

I think you'd be considered.

Another I missed mentioning is Rusti.

I would be pretty useless

I'm around more frequently than it seems, I just can't be arsed with drama and threads that don't interest me so would probably miss anything that needed dealing with :laugh:

I think you'd do an amazing job Annie. Never once have I seen you be unfair. X

If we were getting a new mod I agree that Annie would be a great choice (if she had any interest in it of course) I also think BOTS would be good

Extremely great choices Niamh. The contracts on your desk.

Yes, Annie would be good.

what's the actual problem with a thread existing for 24 hours that someone doesnt like? In the overall scheme of things, it means nothing

This forum was pretty much the same 7/8 years ago. It hasn’t had much traffic beyond us who are left for ages and ages.

It probably will get busier seeing as we'll be having an "on season" again (for at least 1 year anyhow)

It's going to get really busy once Big Brother starts.
Then quiet off season.

This is so exciting!

Heaven forbid anyone put a bad word in about animals.

Well I see your point, but for those of us who are more oversensitive than others it's not nice to be baited and have no one to help by deleting said posts?

I came back in 17, and there were definitely loads more folks around at that time, than currently.

Speaking for myself I just see the site as a bit of fun, with some friendly people to chat with.

Admittedly I probably did take the Site too seriously when I was younger, I still remember some of my behaviour towards members like Jessica & Patrick.:facepalm:

Annie and BOTS would get my vote.
