Its the usual issue of where peoples boundaries lie in their desire to have a bit of laugh and as we frequently see there is wide interpretation on that score that we too get wrong at times, as you know.

Dblock Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Not wanting to hijack the thread, but can I just say that I think that those who have taken on the role as moderator have been doing an excellent job in a sometimes challenging situation for the last four years. I for one would like to express my gratitude to them all for running a first-class forum. +1, but flattery isnt going to give you a mod invite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Just a pity we dont sit in a air conditioned building with a £100k anual salary and a 370z chucked in as well Ummm, really?!

Lincolnbaggie Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Back from the pub, and probably going to get shot down in flames for this but...... ...do we have any female moderators on the forum? Looking at the "porn" issue in the thread, maybe a view from those potentially more susceptible to some of the sexually risqué stuff that gets posted might be an idea? We have a fair few female members now and it might be something to look at in the future...... this is the 21st century after all (and I'm not trying to be anti-sexist, or sexist or whatever PC claptrap we have to put up with these days, just a thought) My own personal view is that the mods do a great job, not helped by some of the ignoramuses who treat this place like a kindergarten.
