I want to take this time to lick some moderator *** crack and state that I actually think that all the moderators do a good job on here The majority of members seem to only show appreciation towards those that were recently promoted (Frankie, Max, Jake, cmh9090), while the older faces have been kicked to the kerb, and rather unfairly I might add, so I'm going to take this time to give my opinion on the green-name brigade.

Mods

Gregor - A bit of a ****, but he is in no way the villain he is being made out to be. People keep talking about how he's constantly rude etc, but I've only seen one instance where he went overboard. I might not notice some of the more subtle things that the rest of you regard as rude, since I myself am a bit of a ****, but plenty of people on this forum have their moments of rudeness; not just Gregor. No complaints regarding the policing of the forum other than the one time I've seen him go overboard with his post.

Redders - Another name that seems akin to hate-mail. Why? Redders does a good job as a moderator; and is arguably the best mod in my opinion. A lighthearted attempt at humour was made, and apparently it sailed over the majority's heads. Let's put down the pitchforks and call off this witch hunt, I'm sure he's very sorry! [insert much-needed rolls-eyes emote here]

JP Woody - Good moderator, and generally gets involved with the day to day chats on the forum. Makes available plenty of downloadable tactics for people, and apparently they are pretty effective! I've yet to try them myself, but I just got one so hopefully the hype is justified. :p No issues with JP I don't think, but he may ban me for originally missing him out of this thread so watch this space.

missbecky - Don't know much about you Becky, sorry. You don't post often so I can't really respond positively or negatively on how you perform as a staff member. This does mean that I have no complaints yet though.

Frankie, Jake, Max, cmh9090 - [Insert all of the nice comments from the forum here as I can't be bothered defending those who haven't come under scrutiny]

Admins

Lee - Does my head in with his one-man army defense of Liverpool no matter what the situation may be regarding them, but the majority of the time he is talking sense. He helps with the running of the forum that I frequent along with Sean I believe, so I am grateful for that. Also, good at keeping the forum clean, and that is the way that I like it.

Kris - Where is this guy? Don't really need to say much here as everyone seems to love Kris. However I've forgotten what his avatar looks like as I honestly don't think I've seen his name pop up in 2010. Nice guy and the only staff member to request to be added to my friends list so he receives bonus points for this. ^^)

Sean - Creator of the forum we've all spent too much time on since joining. He must be doing something right to keep us around, as I've been on plenty of forums before and rarely I stick around for this long. I even stayed here for a 6 month period where I wasn't even playing Football Manager (the purpose of this website), so yeah it seems to sucked me in quite efficiently. Thanks for making all the resources available to us on one website. It makes it a lot easier for everyone to get what they need.

Now, enough of that as my tongue is seizing up. Onwards and upwards:

When reading the other 'Moderating' thread, which I sadly missed (hence the creation of this masterpiece), I was amazed at how the content went from inquisitive, to slightly rowdy, to downright rude at the closing stages. Alright, I personally don't think the thread should have been closed as it was serving its purpose (Chuck Norris thread for Chuck Norris jokes), but this situation was blown way out of proportion simply because a number of people have had an issue with a few staff members, with Gregor top of everybody'*****-list apparently.

I am the first to agree that people should be able to splash their opinions about on a forum, but I personally think that the most rudeness on here comes from those who aren't moderators. I won't name anyone in particular, but I can think of a ton of people without even trying who have their moments. I am one of those people, and I have been rude plenty of times in the past to certain people, but I've never been made a scapegoat like Gregor has today. I just don't think it's necessary. People are dickheads sometimes, but the majority of the time they are not (in the case of this forum), so give them a break. If he was as bad as some of you make him out to be, half of you would probably be banned.

So, to summarise:

1. All moderators/administrators do a good job, not just the new ones. Oh, except for Kris who is gay.

2. Lighten up, and don't take everything so seriously on here.

3. Understand that everybody has days where they are nice, and days where they are not so nice. Nobody is perfect, especially half of you complaining.

Love to all. (K)

P.S. Gregor, I take Paypal.

P.P.S. Please don't delete this post, even if you think it's re-igniting the fire. It took me about 30 minutes to type it. :'(

redders is now an admin.
kris has no internet atm, i think you know and are being sarcastic, but other members might not. :p

i think we (the new mods) are getting lots of love as weve been very active recently while the (tired) old faces take a well earned rest.

wheres the love for the lone ranger? JP Woody :wub:

i much prefer this thread to the other one
 
****, knew I'd forget something.

I just downloaded one of his tactics five minutes ago as well.

An edit must be made.

As for Kris, I honestly didn't know about his lack of Internetz. I suppose it's somewhat forgivable then.
 
@Sean, @Redders

Firstly Sean I'd like to point out that it says in the op the thread wasn't duplicated it was a fresh thread that people were clearly enjoying before Redders, Gregor and Lee decided to be "funny" and SPAM the thread, as the thread was about chuck Norris jokes and they posted silly videos.
My point was, had I done that on someones thread, I would have been infracted which would have let to me being banned. Yet because they are Mods/Admin they can get away with it. Just because they enforce the rules on the site, doesn't mean they should be allowed to break the rules surely? And if that is the case then that should change as it is not fair.

On your comments about Gregor, I never once said anything offensive towards him so that has nothing to do with me.. Tbh I think that if you have a comments/support section you're meant to take the comments and try and sort then. the fact that 20 odd people 'liked' the OP surely tells you something..
It's your website Sean, but I still think that something should be done about it.

This is in response to their comments on the closed thread.
 
To be honest, it was taken kind of out of all proportion, half of the stuff people were moaning about was a joke in the first place, which they took to heart.
 
I don't know what happened but I laughed at some things. We should probably all put it to rest now and get back to what we all know and love, Football Manager. :) Cheers Billy for clearing that up.
 
It was fine to start off with
 
It just exploded into this monster, I think alot of people said some dumb **** so it just escalated, still though very nice op here.

Sigh,

The videos were posted after the thread was closed - and how you dare call them silly videos when it was a thread about Chuck Norris jokes is beyond me.

We took the comments, and we sorted them - by ignoring them because we run the site/have run the site in this manner for 4 years.

Again if you don't like it please leave - your whining won't be missed, honest. (K)

Closed as it's just going to re-ignite like you said OP but thanks anyway :wub:
 
I don't see why my gayness affects my admin abilities :$

As i have no home internet access at the moment i have no idea why this thread was created but thanks for the kind words :)
