i've got a black strip...but on a silver/grey and black background....never been a problem to me.......
and for the record...there were no pm's from me to anybody about the question of voting for mods.......didn't even know that was being pushed as an option....
Yes, it seems strange that the few who PM'd against MOD voting automatically win out…GrumpyOne wrote:There goes the last vestige of any sort of poster control of this forum.BackFromUSA wrote:Yes . I had lots of NEGATIVE PMs about the prospect of nominations for MODS and any form of election! So that is off the table .
The Who said it best.... "Here comes the new Boss.... same as the old Boss,"
The momentum for change has dwindled down to the pace of a snail on crutches.
How many of the negative PMs came from the one IP address? Or is that a barbed comment?
IMVHO of course.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about which I don't think warrants a warning, numpty… considering the person I directed it has frequently called me a f***wit & and a f***-head. Anyway 0 - 100 Moderation… I'll have to get used to it.

You implied it was Stinger who did this, no one else.
You were warned for baiting him.
Should slap another warning on you for bringing a PM into the public forum and for the language used. Would that be fair?
i never pm'd anybody about mods....and i hope you are not referring to me as the person using those swearwords.......i have never used the second expression...on this forum or anywhere else....dragit wrote:I don't know HSV, I have no say on what is fair or how this place runs…HSVKing wrote:Matrix calls people who PM mods 'Numpties'.dragit wrote:Yes sorry old chap, I just received a warning for eluding to Matrix calling you a numpty…

I didn't realise that swearing with stars blocking out the letters counted.
Apologies for making a PM public. I just find it weird getting a warning for calling someone a numpty who has called me an F-wit multiple times this year.
It is a little difficult adjusting from very little moderation suddenly to G rating.
I think my days are numbered.
Sorry again.
Really, so releasing a warning from a PM into the public domain is against the rules is it?HSVKing wrote:Matrix calls people who PM mods 'Numpties'.dragit wrote:Yes sorry old chap, I just received a warning for eluding to Matrix calling you a numpty…

Sorry, knew that, but are we saying releasing the details of a PM into the public forum is against the rules?stinger wrote:maverick wrote:Really, so releasing a warning from a PM into the public domain is against the rules is it?HSVKing wrote: Matrix calls people who PM mods 'Numpties'.

Not the official warning bit, what about an unofficial warning?

My opinion, whether it be right or wrong, is that a Mod election just couldn't work. We might elect our political leaders but we don't elect our police. Mods are our police officers. They are appointed to do a job. If you start looking for elections, then what would be the criteria for nominations? Who would nominate? Would it be open for everyone? Who would decipher the good from the bad nominations?
Sorry, but my belief is that the best run forums have a strong consistent and largely anonymous board of moderators. Doesn't mean I am right though. Which I am. Maybe. Could be. Probably.

I'm too busy eating my takeaway with you on a Thursday night. Then people will think I will go lenient on you because we share a hamburger and fries!plugger66 wrote:SENsaintsational wrote:Not getting into the numpty debate.

That's alright mate, like matrix, I don't really care who pm'd the mods… I assumed it might have been you as you had publicly expressed your opposition to the voting in this thread.stinger wrote: i never pm'd anybody about mods....and i hope you are not referring to me as the person using those swearwords.......i have never used the second expression...on this forum or anywhere else....
In my view, some respected long time posters get together and put some people forward for consideration. Approach those to gauge interest and then appoint them to the roles if deemed suitable. Like selecting an AFL coach. Lots of psychological testing!dragit wrote:What's the alternative process for selecting mods & admin?
still say i have never used the 2nd one...but hey...who's counting...and i don't use swear words anymore.....never saw your numpty post eitherdragit wrote:That's alright mate, like matrix, I don't really care who pm'd the mods… I assumed it might have been you as you had publicly expressed your opposition to the voting in this thread.stinger wrote: i never pm'd anybody about mods....and i hope you are not referring to me as the person using those swearwords.......i have never used the second expression...on this forum or anywhere else....
The numpty comment was a bit of a joke, but I guess it is baiting, (as 90% of the posts on here are IMO)
Was meant to be a bit of fun, my mistake.
I won't dig out old threads with your expletives as I'm already on thin ice.
b.t.w - Is "FFS" & WTF considered swearing?
