Do we need more mods? YES!

Re: Re:

Sometimes lack of direction isn't a good thing.

Don't go there mate..

Honestly, why not?

Don't be a ****. Honestly.

Wow.

I'm asking calmly why, as I'm not sure if you just would prefer me not to 'go there' or if there actually was a reason for it. Fair enough you don't feel like discussing or talking about some things (like that will improve them...), but there's no reason to act like that just because someone doesn't share your view.

All I asked for was a reason.

I tried to reply with a PM to Susan but it just sits in my Outbox, and my sent folder is empty, so I'm not sure I'm operating the PM functions properly. lol.

I would spend some time helping out as a Moderator if you guys still need people.

Yea irondan seems cool.

I got it, thanks.

Thank you irondan for putting your hand up to help. Despite you liking the number 9 a little too much it would be good to have you as a moderator. I apologise for abusing you the other week, it was totally wrong.

Netserk, there is a huge difference between the mods and CN having a hidden agenda to support or criticise one team, and having general guidance from CN. Ferryman was referring to the first. I have NEVER been told to do the first, and I have been a mod with the forum since its first day. (I also would not accept such an order).

We do have general guidance: stay neutral, calm, polite, move quickly when retired, etc.

This latter is what Ferryman was referring to. And you were a mod for a while, so you should know all that anyway.

That is why I already leave the active moderation to the youngsters! Gotta protect these old bones!

Haha! No need to apologize. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

 

[Red Rick]

Hope you find a couple of good new mods, I'd be a sh!t one for sure

 

[ebandit]

Re:

i was wondering if there are any mods around

road forum is full of doping talk and reporting the posts seems to do nothing

It's quite difficult not to stray into that area at times. If doping hits the mainstream news, it's news and then IMO not specifically for the Clinic.
A few posters do try and guide the chat if needed in the clinics direction.

Many thanks to those who have volunteered -- we are currently discussing the options.

We would also very much like to have another Euro on board, though, someone who will be available to moderate during Tour stages, if possible......

I would have thought an Aussie who is going to stay up anyway to watch the race would have been ideal for the Tour stages.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

How is that for a mod? Does he have to get trou all the crap that is written many times? I mean that means "brain torture".
Do mods get paid?
Thanks in advance for enlighten me.

mods do it for the love of cycling..............for the love of the forum...............

Not really. Most of us just go to sleep after the stage and/or only watch crucial stages. Doesn't help if the forum goes into meltdown after a stage.

Still, do they have to read all those posts (aprox 50% of them "in-fights" between members)? The mildest form of illness I think they get is a constant strong headache, the worst is the "brain torture" I talked about. If Mr Benson or higher people want to have this place going back to old standards, the mods shall get paid for the hard work required. 10.000 $ minimum per year if they work in let´s say 8 hour shifts.
Still would like to know about it... Thanks in advance

Of course mods are expected to read the forum, as much of it as possible.

It is also obviously not a paid position.
