Hello! If you get the job, I expect we'll become quite familiar with each other.....

 

SEE - the oppresion of the people by the moderater goons!!

You have a large L stamped on your forehead!!

 

PMSL

 

sfunny whenever i think of mods...



i see this vision of Rimmer with his letter stuck to his forehead


hmmmmmm

theres a punchline somewhere??

Mart

 

I know, I see that image in the mirror....that's when it doesn't crack of course.....LOL

 

I have mailed shaun, fingers crossed

 

I could write you a glowing reference if you'd like, although I think a reference from me would be the kiss of death for your career in moderation!

 

It's be more than a kiss ajm.

 

Not being a plus member I expect will go against my credentials, Bubba po, look forward to it mate if successful

andy

 

here, borrow mine

its in fairly good nick, only slightly soiled!

 

No doubt it was soiled by a cat

 

Yeah, little sod bled everywhere!

 

Nice to see I'm so popular - still sometimes popularity isn't a pre-requisite for getting the job done.

BTW ajm I don't own a cat - no one does - they are free spirits and I am happy for them to roam wherever they like

Regards,

tiggers.

 

Hello

I wouldn't mind being a moderator I guess: I'm continually on the internet and I'm relatively ambivalent about cats.

About the only benefit of being a moderator must be being able to see the behind the scenes stuff that goes on - some of which must be quite interesting. The novelty would wear off eventually, I imagine, making the job a thankless task.

Does having one of your threads deleted disqualify you from the job?

Maybe the desire to be a moderator, as with politicians, should in itself disqualify you from being one...

 

aaaaw, don't take it to heart. If its any consolation I doubt I'd win a popularity contest on here either!

Excellent, no one will miss them then!

 

Polite Moderator PC speak is a necessity, see above.

It's moderation on a website FFS, not NASA.

Possible scenario

"Hello Darling, I've become a moderator on Scoobynet", "congratulations my love, we've arrived", "yep holidays in the Maldives for us from now", "we'll be the envy of the street!"



Realistic Scenario

" Alright Babe, I've become a Moderator on SN", "what, you're having a laugh, when are you going to have time to do that, anyway crack on and get that nappy changed and when you've done that this needs doing and that, and then you can do all those other jobs i've got lined up for you"


Each to their own I suppose, there is always the being there to be shot at scenario as well

 

Deletion of threads doesn't as I have had my share share locked or deleted.

 

Main requisites are.... have a skin as thick as a rhinos and subscribe to the idiom 'water off a ducks back'

 

LOL

I was never

1) Biased and bitter towards certain members
2) Pedantic
3) Argumentative
4) Abusive with power (especially to support your own arguments)
4) Able to p*** everyone off and dont give a stuff

Until I had been a moderator for some time.

It has that effect on you, you see, having to deal with all the arseholes on here

And as for "remember simon is a god, walks on water (blah blah blah)"

More like "remember Simon thinks he is a God and can walk on water"

 

Yeah I know - I was being S A R C A S T I C

 

It can actually take up quite a bit of your time I spent 2 hours yesterday afternoon chasing around after a user deleting his threads, editing, locking, answering his rant threads!

It's not as easy as it looks

I don't think I fit any of the below but it's early days

1) Biased and bitter towards certain members
2) Pedantic
3) Argumentative
4) Abusive with power (especially to support your own arguments)
5) Able to p*** everyone off and dont give a stuff

p.s I do own a cat I wondered how I got the job, now I know

 

 

No idea, still trying to figure out how it happened to me

 

What *are* the benefits though, seriously? Not that it'll ever concern ME ( ), but i do wonder why people take on the responsibility?

 

Dunno, there's not even an annual Xmas p*ss up as far as I know

 

Err, your name is a better shade of blue

 

Awwww.....

Did he pinch your crayons or something?

 

LOL

*None* if , like me, you are not prepared to take it up the **** from Simon

Cue a mad rush of mods posting clarification on the issue

 

D,

Okay, you have now intrigued me, you have my *full* attention. Pray tell
