pap Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 The glaring problem with TDD's moderator application is a complete lack of moderation. Add to the fact that he'll probably ban people and then not tell you why it happened, and it's a recipe for disaster.

Nah, bit of a delayed response, and we perhaps don't get the full truth until one of the "always on" mongboard sadcases ( I include myself in this category ) spills the beans, but we generally find out why people were banned.

You can be as much of a nob as you like as long as you're prepared to pay another fiver. Then we get the spectacle of the self-same person embroiled in an "am I / aren't I" cock tease. So the bannee comes back anyway, gets more attention and a new identity. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Really, the ad should read "prissy control freak required to generate revenue for Fiver Mountain". That would at least be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite fuuny how a repayment of the £5 fee seems to gain complete absolution on here, and after the inital power-hungry bravado of the banning exercise, the flurry of new coinage into Saintsweb coffers atones for all past sins.

Well, sorta - but a bit tragic for the current mods and any of the people applying to be one. Current mods just look weak, and I know they will probably say "how can we stop them?". Answer is twofold. 1) Keep banning, even if the person stumps up a fiver. Ok, millionaires could troll here with reckless abandon, but I suspect most normal trolls would soon f*ck off back under their bridges when the Pot Noodle and Kleenex budget starts to look a bit thin. 2) Stop handing out infractions, and just ban people who are seriously out of order and delete posts which are borderline. I suspect most people who've applied on this thread are about as serious about their applications as the mods are on permanent bans. I think they know that without the forum antagonists, site will look like no-one is posting on it. Lest it look like I'm mod-bashing without qualification, I do appreciate the fact that they let discussions develop on here and that a lot of stuff is let go. I even found dune's posts amusing, and part of me is guiltily pleased that he'll do his wind-up act once more. That all said, the fact that there's no real follow through makes the moderation, and this application thread a bit of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 I think you are taking it all waaay too seriously pap. Man who I can't take seriously says I'm taking it too seriously. It's poetic in a way. I appreciate that you can't really dis a man unqualified, so please allow me to explain my position clearly. I may well be guilty of jumping a couple of guns here (a la Turkish's racist username), but frankly, it is difficult to reconcile the opinions of a man who has strong views on appropriate child discipliine when, in reality, that same man is highly unlikely to have got his d!ck wet outside of a bath or swimming pool. Like I said, may be seriously guilty of gun-jumping. It's almost 2:30AM here on the east coast of the USA. I've spent the week beating wide-eyed American girls off with the proverbial sh!tty stick, and I'm a teeny bit wasted right now, so I fully accept my position may have some intellectual inconsistency. But for the record, hypo - have you ever done it with a girl? And if so, how do you discipline your kids? I await my inevitable first infraction.
