Robsk II Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Sorry if this had been covered, but what the hell is going on? Why has St landrew suddenly quit completely? I've been told other mods are leaving, too. I'm not moaning about the 'owners' or anything, just.. seems something funny is going on if reliable people like St L are just saying "enough", for good...?
RedAndWhite91 Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Ohhh I thought this was a thread about the subculture
Robsk II Posted 2 October, 2010 Author Posted 2 October, 2010 You'd be significantly too young for it. Seriously, though - maybe this isn't the right stage for such a question.. It's just a bit concerning for users I suppose if long term servants are just quitting and so on?
RedAndWhite91 Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 I have a significant interest in the mod subculture.
Ponty Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Oh, by the way, I'll be taking my mod hat off soon too. It's been fun, everyone, but it's been long enough.
Ponty Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 I'm not sure the Main Board is the right place for this though...
RedAndWhite91 Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 So! I got an A-Level in History!!! Nothing wrong with taking a liking in past music etc. Anyway, back on topic, I'm not sure mods leaving will have too big an impact. There will be others to take their places.
Robsk II Posted 2 October, 2010 Author Posted 2 October, 2010 Yeah, but others are mental. Ponty is leaving too? He was another good mod, if a little overweight. This genuinely worries me as a user - why are the mods jumping ship? Are Baj and Steve leaving too? I know them both so I know they're reasonable guys - so I am genuinely interested as to what's happening. This will be an utter farce if there are no mods bar the two owners, devoted as they are. Two isn't enough for this place I'd have thought, and Baj and Steve are both busy guys too.
Jonnyboy Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 I dont mind being a new mod. Ill soon whip all you lot into shape
exit2 Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Oh, by the way, I'll be taking my mod hat off soon too. It's been fun, everyone, but it's been long enough. Me to Ponty just gone too and removed my admin rights, and now Im just a user

dingbattigger Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 As a mod myself on another forum I'd like to say thanks to those of you leaving. It's a thankless task for which you get a load of abuse and no praise. Most seem to think it's a power thing and a bit of fun. It isn't so thanks guys.
Ponty Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Me to Ponty just gone too and removed my admin rights, and now Im just a user Nuts, I just removed mine too but it still says administrator under my name. How galling.

Two isn't enough for this place I'd have thought, and Baj and Steve are both busy guys too. Can't say I understand the sudden rush in leaving. As I said I'm sure there will be others to take the places as mods, don't know how it will affect the forum as a whole though. I have met Steve too and agree he is a reasonable guy (also met you, sort of). This place definitely needs moderating. Just a bit odd people are stopping, I agree.
Baj Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Myself and steve will be making an announcement on monday about our decision to start with a new mod team. This decision was made PRIOR to us being made aware of the the current mods who have now resigned. (however, we have been told by two of them that they had decided to resign anyway)
Window Cleaner Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Just a bit odd people are stopping, I agree. Perhaps it's just time for them to go (a quote from about the modernist sub culture era i think) perhaps a rival forum is in the offing; who knows.
S-Clarke Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 At least the forum is carrying on the theme from the club.

This decision was made PRIOR to us being made aware of the the current mods who have now resigned. (however, we have been told by two of them that they had decided to resign anyway) Baj, could you please amend my user title. I seem to have been left with Administrator. Cheers.

(however, we have been told by two of them that they had decided to resign anyway) Don't leave out the bit where you said we could reapply to be mods if we wanted.
Smirking_Saint Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 W*nk, Ponty was a decent mod, as is DSM.
Baj Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Don't leave out the bit where you said we could reapply to be mods if we wanted. My apologies, by new team I mean starting afresh, but yes that can include old mods.
Baj Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Ill probably try to get the announcement up tonight, to stop conjecture.
hypochondriac Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 I can understand people resigning as mods but why are posters just stopping posting like Pilchards and St Landrew? Both were decent posters and Pilchards especially will be sorely missed.
hypochondriac Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 W*nk, Ponty was a decent mod, as is DSM. Has DSM left too? My favourite mod
lordswoodsaints Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 I'm a mod....I've got a scooter and everything.
Ponty Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Ponty - you can't get pm's Sorry, had to clear a few hundred! I forgot my allowance would drop sharply.
Tractor_Saint Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Has Ponty been sleeping with someones missus? (NOTE THE SMILEY)
jawillwill Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Are Ponty and St. Landrew being sacked because they slept with Baj behind stevegrants back or something?
Smirking_Saint Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Yeah, Pilchards is going to be missed too
gonzo Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 A mod's job isn't easy. I admin another Saints forum, and of a team of 4 mods I'm basically the only one left as one sadly passed away and the other two are hardly ever online anymore. That site is a lot less busy than this one so I can understand that moderating this forum must be a b*tch at times.
lenwilkins Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Me to Ponty just gone too and removed my admin rights, and now Im just a user Can I just remind you Rob - don't share needles.
NickG Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 (edited) shame if the more reasonable mods going, and we maybe left with ones who don't deal fairly and back their friends Edited 2 October, 2010 by NickG
gonzo Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 shame if the more reasonable mods going, we maybe left with ones who lie and back their friends I think Baj and Steve would probably take care to choose good moderators to be honest, otherwise it puts the integrity of the site into question.
hypochondriac Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 I think Baj and Steve would probably take care to choose good moderators to be honest, otherwise it puts the integrity of the site into question. I think he was referring to a particular mod.
Kingsland Red Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 I've no idea what is going on but to all departing mods, Steve and Baj - as a Saints supporter who likes to stay in touch with the word on the street - thanks for all your work to date and good luck ! COYR
Arizona Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Just for the record, he mass exodus is nothing to do with he way the site is run or any disagreement between mods. We've all just had enough of dealing with the small minority of w**kers who "contribute" to this site. Best of luck to Steve, Baj and the new mods for the future. I will stick around till he new team is in place, then it's Saints Web suicide for me too.
Spudders Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Baj when are you leaving to follow your music career!
Baj Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?25588-Time-for-a-fresh-start
SuperMikey Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Baj when are you leaving to follow your music career! We're trying to get rehearsal space booked for that atm!
Northant Saint Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 It seems that St Landrew has stormed out of the door?
Robsk II Posted 2 October, 2010 Author Posted 2 October, 2010 So Arizona is quitting the board completely, too? Thanks for the expl. Baj, I was just confused by it all. Didn't want to cause a fuss! I'm sure that, all joking aside, and 'banter'.. ahem.. everyone is thankful for all the work you guys and the mods do.
Arizona Posted 2 October, 2010 Posted 2 October, 2010 Ari, can you change my user title please, mate. Better?
Robsk II Posted 2 October, 2010 Author Posted 2 October, 2010 Arizona, please look at the sticky regarding libel.
