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.

Let it go Dezzy... Trumpet's probably envious of your mighty hammer.

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

[Kate!]

nah, no offence sheriff 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 but I'm being genuine, and as a result I am enjoying the forum a lot more again, like I used to.

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.

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.
