The title says it all really, I fancy being a Moderator. I have more chance to visit this site again now and would fancy my old role back.
We need to get this and the games forum moving. Lets get it on!

Lol, evil pb. My favourite nickname for pb was "Old Man Lead", coined by some ruffian from pm.

I declare Warhunt the winner of the match, due to the fact he's a staff member. Sorry lads :P Yeh, i have to say i've noticed your little linky at the bottom of every post. I thought you had special privileges or something! :P But yeh, as Hmmm said, and from Freeola's perspective, as long as it links to a Freeola Hosted Website, there shouldn't be a problem.
I'm 50/50 about smileys in forums, sometimes they can look tacky, it's just a typical forum look, then again, it brightens the place up, and they're used in MSN etc. 24/7.
*EDIT* And Machie loses a goal for using the word Snarky - anyone finds out what it means, please post :)

Sounds like a good idea as long as you link to Freeola Hosted websites!
Did you know you also get free web space when you become a Freeola ADSL customer...

He's giving you a cut of his adsense isn't he? Heh. How about you give us signatures for real, so he doesnt have to keep copying and pasting it in. Oh and Garin wants Smileys too.

The funny thing is, before Hmmm made his snarky comment I almost used him as an example of the kind of moderator I was on about. He is very helpful and definitely a good moderator. Although I disagree with him using a signature.

Which is the ideal moderator for Freeola?
evilpb : This guy hides in the shadows, he hardly ever posts, but he'll read everything and jump in whenever a rule is broke.
pb : Everyone knows this guy by his first name. He's extremely friendly and kind. Is always making new threads and posts and loves the whole community.

Awww course not. It's mainly for the other sections anyway Hmmm.... as Motomoto is really in charge of the "Technical" side of things. And I wouldn't want you to be "normalised anyway". Your knowledge alone warrants the place :D

Thanks for that Warhunt.
I've removed a number of 'strange' posts in the past, but am more than happy to leave that to the Staffies and return to being a normal(ish!) member when you make your changes.

No, not until I am ready to release things properly Hmmm.... I'm afraid. No point going until detail until it's all ready :D
And in the case of Machie's post it is basically correct. You have to look at this forum as different than the normal "roles" etc.
There will be a moderator mix up, and the primary role of the moderator will require some extra effort in order to try and improve their relative section. Pretty much like Machie said.
There s not much need for the "dictionary" moderator as you state, (even though that is technically their role) as the staffie's do pick up most of deleting etc.

That's not how I see things :¬P
One that moderates, as:
~ One that arbitrates or mediates.
~ One who presides over a meeting, forum, or debate.
I thought it was ALL the forum members that create posts etc. etc. ???
NB. The Forum Moderators thread seemed to go totally off topic (sic).
Can someone provide an update as to what (if anything) is changing. NB. I haven't 'applied' for anything...

The staffies are the ones that delete the spam. The moderators have a more important role in helping the community grow.
So if you want to be a moderator of the Chat forum, you better make some good threads and try and get people chatting. If you're a moderator of the Review forum. Find ways to encourage new users to sign up and make their own reviews.
At least that is what I think the moderators should do, especially now as we hardly get any spammers like we use to,

I reckon we just let the staff decide. I mean do we really need moderators at the moment anyway? Everything seems alright to me. We only really needed mods when all the rubbish happened a few months back :( Otherwise mods are just generally checking the forum out, making sure everything is coolio. But yeh, leave it to the staffies :)

Hey Guys,
What about a vote ?.
Post a list of all who have put their names forward and for which forums they wish to moderate and let the members decide.
Then again about 2 people will probably be arsed to vote and if they vote for different people we may have a Bush/Gore situation all over again ?.
Jubba,whether you get your powers to mod returned in future or not its still good to see you around here again,most ex-staffies don't tend to bother.How's the band going ?,heard one of your songs a bit back (think it was called looking back/looking right back apologies if i didn't get the title correct ) anyway I liked it,it's catchy as hell ! :)
I haven't put my name forward,think I'd make a rubbish mod if I'm honest.Bet there is some good candidates though.

Not wanted? 0_o Everyone is wanted.
But we discussed this very thing a few weeks back and I've made decisions based on that. If you want to apply still you can, and I'll consider it. But I would prefer you to read the other post first to see what my plans were etc.
And still had no requests through anywho. You remember where the link was? Link just in case |

You'd better come back a different colour (like Gandalf, not the late Michael Jackson) or I'll be disappointed.
Oh, and the Doctor Who shop has moved in Exmouth now.
