Where are they ???

[Gracer]

:confused: Not that we need them at the moment but where are the mods or editor1, ..come on now......who has eaten them? :rolleyes:

[dannybo]

I've been wondering the same thing for a while.

Editor1 is the only mod I've seen online for months...

[Gracer]

its a bit strange isnt it - or is it because we are all behaving ourselves? :rolleyes:

[dannybo]

Could be...:D

Actually I've just checked the members list & Mod 1-5 havent been on since Feb this year. Mod6 & Ed1 are still active though.
Editor & Editor2 still seem reasonably active, well in the last couple of months anyway.

Have you thought about applying for a job as a moderator - you'd do a darn sight better job than <deleted>.

Not really, lol, I cant really be impartial without disconnecting myself from being a fan. I dont really wanna do that, besides im sure there is more to the job title than moderating this forum (I've done moderating before & its no fun at all).

what does it entail like?

[dannybo]

what does it entail like?
You have to disconnect yourself, personally from people & topics alike. You have to appear (at least) to be impartial, something I couldnt do, not with the BTCC anyway.
Apart from that, you have to check registration e-mails, sort out peoples technical issues (where possible), edit posts and try & make forum rules as well known as possible & generally moderate (suprisingly:p ). I also found that slander/liable issues are a very real problem sometimes (something that doesnt seem to be an issue here, thankfully:)), thats basically why I stopped doing it (people cant refrain from name calling when it gets heated sometimes). I moderated a Footy website & unfortunately/fortunately, whichever way you look at it, fans/directors & players alike decided to air their laundry on the site. It was a very stressfull & enlightening period.:rolleyes:

I also moderated on a gaming website (for Valve/DoD forum), that was alot more fun & alot less "real". :)

I dont think moderators get paid ted...it's more likely to be voluntary!

[Reidy_fan]

I wish mate, basically it is a hobby and all of us mods on actually chip in to help pay for the site's upkeep, okay a bit of advertising helps but bandwith is expensive

[Moderator6]

Sorry, I missed the male/female question. I am male, not married to anybody you are likely to know. I'm not famous in any way, shape or form (infamous maybe!) and you really are very very unlikely to know me even if I gave you my name!

If you keep telling everyone to stop guessing, Then obviously they are going to keep asking you, Anyways my point being, You want people to keep guessing by saying "Give it up, I'm unlikely to be known to any of you. :)"

[Moderator6]

Oh yes I have!! ;)

it aint difficult to get lost when i write stuff down cos i forget what i was talking about by the time i reach the end coz i completly forget to use any punctuation of any kind so it turns out to be one big sentence which is almost impossible to read in one breath and since there is no punctuation you have to stop reading for breath at a completly inconvienient place within the text and then when you start reading again you could have completley lost the plot of what i am talking/writing about,

Turk,
When exactly did you start celebrating Christmas? And I'll have a pint of whatever you're on :p

[turk06]

i started when the drinking season started, usually about my birthday in sept ember and it finishes about feb. this is the drinking season for me the rest of the year i only have about five pints a night just to keep in training, you know. then when special occasions like the weekend come around you can always hold your ale, the problem is the weekend seems to come aroumd quite often.
