Moderators

[Doc Alan]

A moderator is a person who helps others to solve a dispute, chairs a debate, controls exam papers (:yikes:), controls forum threads, and monitors or occasionally bans members :doh
It's a responsible and time-consuming position, not achieved without special talent, expertise, and regular contributions which earn respect and trust :)
Arthur, Penny, and Rayna are now moderators. Clearly I'm not the first to know but I would like to congratulate them and members should celebrate their promotion as everyone gains from their dedication :xxgrinning--00xx3:

An Invigilator controls exam papers


Congrats to new mods

[Doc Alan]

Invigilator controls exam papers
Thanks so much for correcting me! I understood an invigilator supervised candidates during an exam. I'm always happy to learn from the experts, that's why I'm on the forum and congratulated the new moderators :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[mikey73]

congratuations penny, rayna and arthur :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[pennybarry]

Thanks Mikey!:)

[aposhark]

Thanks BAB :gp: but my main job is to keep the forum clean and unbanning banned members.

Penny, I miss the many posts of Mrs JMajor, and never really understood why she was banned?

[bornatbirth]

Penny, I miss the many posts of Mrs JMajor, and never really understood why she was banned?

because she was a trouble maker and send nasty messages via PM's and yahoo to the other lady members, to you and me she was fine?

[aromulus]

unbanning banned members. :


I ain't too sure about that.....:Erm:

Personally, I wouldn't count on it....:NoNo:

[pennybarry]

I ain't too sure about that.....:Erm:

Personally, I wouldn't count on it....:NoNo:

Don't take it seriously Dom! :omg:
BAB was joking and put him into a joke!
Please get used to my skills! :laugher::icon_lol:

[aposhark]

because she was a trouble maker and send nasty messages via PM's and yahoo to the other lady members, to you and me she was fine?

Oh Ok, didn't know that :)

[aposhark]

This moderator thread has me thinking.
It is obviously quite an undertaking to be online a lot to make sure there isn't too much "argy bargy" :icon_lol:

I admire "moderate" people who spend so much time keeping the status quo.

I know that quite a few of us here are more outspoken about our beliefs one way or the other.
We know who we are :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

It is nice for me to end my 60+ hour week and pop into the forum to see things are mostly still the same.

Kudos to all of you mods :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[pennybarry]

Penny, I miss the many posts of Mrs JMajor, and never really understood why she was banned?
I wasn't here when she was banned. I was on my holidays at Pinas enjoying with my family and friends so I can't give more info about it.


because she was a trouble maker and send nasty messages via PM's and yahoo to the other lady members, to you and me she was fine?

She might be a trouble maker in her own way via PM and I'm sure she's not the only one sending nasty messages as I got some as well from nasty members! But I don't go down to their level.
If they attack me for having no kids, it's up to them. It's their life being haters and standard bearers of filipino trademark "utak talangka". They just don't realised that I did motherhood better than them.

[joebloggs]

because she was a trouble maker and send nasty messages via PM's and yahoo to the other lady members, to you and me she was fine?

I never had any problems with her, makes you wonder why some people just cant get on together.

[KeithD]

Jeez ... you should see the size of the file we have on you :omg:

She's made a personal attack on me since the banning .... the 4th one :rolleyes: (which also really peeves me off)..... talk about shooting yourself in the foot. If people got banned, contacted me, apologised, you know... the civil and polite way of doing things, they may get let back in.... it does happen.

haha i bet you've been called alot worse :o) (smilies not werking - need to reboot) i wouldn't let it get to you ;o)

civil and polite your right there :D

[pennybarry]

I admire "moderate" people

I admire them too if they moderate and arbitrates fairly. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
I better give warning first, delete nasty post or may ask them to repost and reconsider, give them second chance if he/she is member for long time. If members wanting to comeback in good faith, then I will allow him/her again.
Let them start over and try to not break the rules this time.
I will not give second chance to spammers.


I know I cannot make everyone's happy but that will makes most sense and doing job properly.

I am serious this time Dom! :Rasp:

Sorry to hear you were personally attacked boss.
but I tell you the feeling of being banned.
It is a horrible feeling and she might throw you back the feeling.

You are right, she must do the right thing if she want to comeback.
Apology would be better than attacking you as I also knew the feeling of being under attack but try to consider someone's feeling. If you understand people why they did such things, then you'll probably know what I mean.:heartshape1::ARsurrender::toocoffee:

[Doc Alan]

I haven't had so many responses to a thread since the great homeopathy deception some time back , and let's not argue which is the more important :yikes:
However, the thread does raise interesting issues about the forum, I wish it every success :xxgrinning--00xx3:
I'm just about to go on holiday (again!) until 12 July, and cannot be online. Not the Philippines this time, but Switzerland ! But I shall return, confident that the moderators will continue with their excellent work in my absence !:D Good health to you all :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[KeithD]

... i wouldn't let it get to you ;o)


I know..... those 2-3 seconds can really drag sometimes :icon_lol:

[les_taxi]

Whatever happened to the once popular bigtombowski?

I seem to remember he was contacting members to come to his own site or something along those lines.

[aromulus]

Please, moderators, don't ban me for going off the topic of the thread I started - I was led astray by a well established moderator who should know better...:doh

[Northerner]

congrats to the new mods.. Now you'll get to spend many an evening sifting through the spam and what not.

I remember a good while back I was an admin on an old forum, way back in the early days of t'internet. Always had software problems, would ban a spammer or a troll only to find them logging back in as usual - never did find out how:icon_lol:

[pennybarry]

Thanks Sean!
I'll just feed the trolls. :icon_lol:

[\\\ElizaTony///]

Congratulations Penny, Arthur & Rayna :) :)

[IainBusby]

Whatever happened to the once popular bigtombowski?

I seem to remember he was contacting members to come to his own site or something along those lines.

He and another member called Briget (I think) who also got banned were stealing articles and content from this site to set up a rival site.

[stevie c]

A big congratulations to penny Arthur & Rayna you are all a very big help :xxgrinning--00xx3:

There's rightly been plenty of interest in this thread because, after Keith "Boss", the moderators are the most important members of the forum :xxgrinning--00xx3: I'm sure the three "youngest" moderators (Arthur, Penny and Rayna) would wish me also to acknowledge the debt of gratitude we ordinary members owe to the established moderators:). They have individual expertise, balanced by good humour, patience in repeating advice to those who can't search for it, and (where necessary) the ability to censor or ban inappropriate contributors :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[KeithD]

I could answer that and stoop to their childish level, but I'm way above that type of thing.

[Sim11UK]

Have to say it's upsetting to see BANNED under pennybarry, Aromulus & I assume walesrob? These were real stalwarts of the forum. Penny always wrote, with great humour.

I know they all left voluntarily, but hoped they would come back in time? None of my business I know, just sad to see them go. :)

[somebody]

Correct, and your restraint in commenting further is surely the way to move things on :xxgrinning--00xx3:
But on lighter notes (we all need those ;)), Arthur is no longer the youngest Moderator ! :NoNo: Also , Fred, you now have a responsibilty to improve your jokes :D
