Mods(Esp Sarky), The Biggest Spanner(s) on Boards? Discuss...

    THE MODS ARE SPANNERS: DISCUSS

    If the Mods change the title of this thread then the accusations Pighead has thrown at them will be considered proven and correct.



    For years and years its been Pigheads dream to become a Mod. Fcuk wanting to become an astronaut or Meg Ryans plaything, it was all about the Modding for me. At school I became the Milk Monitor Boy and this position of power made me feel warm and tingly and never ever thirsty(The milk monitors were allowed to take the spare milk for themselves)

    Pighead joined boards over a year ago and has kept his nose clean and shiny in that time. I realised pretty early on that the After Hours Mod job was the daddy of them all but it would probably be months before I was offered the job. 6 months passed and nothing, I decided to branch out and applied for the Mustard Biology and Football Manager Forum Mod positions. REJECTED every time. Anger followed but my psychologist told me to think happy thoughts and stay patient. So I thought of Beruthial and I fcuking for hours on a beach in St Lucia and felt better again

    Lately Pigheads feigned an interest in gambling due to the word on the street that a gambling forum was in the pipeline. Last week the gambling forum was indeed started and some cnut called amz got the job.After I stopped crying I looked at the list of Mods employed by boards.ie and I couldn't believe what every person on the list had in common, THEY WERE ALL SPANNERS. (Except for Sarge, he was a Super Spanner)

    Now Pigheads faced with a choice. Should I too become a spanner in order to get my dream job or should I continue to be the suave sophisticated sex beast and plough a lone furrow in the battle against all things spannerish.

    Should I too become a spanner
    Some might argue that you have already achieved this unbeknownst to yourself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,939 ✭✭✭mikedragon32


    There's always the Manly Man Forum, if it ever gets approved.

    I can't say that the Mods are spanners, as I've never witnessed their ability to loosen a tight nut, but keep on fighting the good fight Pighead!

    Don't give in and be a spanner. Don't compromise yourself, your integrity and stay true to who you are. Becoming a spanner is the easy way out.

    Pighead got half way through that thread and stopped for fear of exploding with rage. I feel like the little boy who supported Juventus all his life only to find out they were a bunch of lowdown dirty lying cheating spanners.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    Tis clear to me that your assumption that you would rise to Moderator status is what is holding you back.....to be a Mod you need integrity, a willingness to help others and a humility. You must never seek out Moderatorship, it will call you one day and you must be willing to answer....

    ..... tis only AFTER you become a Mod that the battle with Spannerism comes into play!!! :D

    All in all Pighead, stay fighting the good fight and surely you shall be rewarded some day!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    And what about those mods who are so power crazed they mod more forums than most of us even visit? A veritable toolbox of spanners there.

    I could never be a mod, for the same reason i wont ever wear ben sherman...Paul ****ng Weller


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,054 ✭✭✭Firewalkwithme


    I'm shocked, what could possibly drive Pighead to say such things? ;)

    There's always the Manly Man Forum, if it ever gets approved.

    As the person who suggested this forum it would be an honour to have Pighead as a mod there, I mean think about it: start a game of word association with the word manly and no doubt the second person will say pighead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 395 ✭✭Dermington


    yes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,247 ✭✭✭stevejazzx


    There has been odd mod activity of late in particular the locking of threads for no good reason.
    On the whole however I think boards is run well pretty well although unquestionably the occasional nazi has slipped through the net and found himself immersed in power with diastrous circumstances.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I'm really more of a monkey wrench than a spanner...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    oh and no, not all mods are spanners ..... its about 60:40

    You ain't wrong brother. And as is customary in the Pighead clan I shall return a compliment to 6th.
    6th you shall never ever be a Mod because you're just too groovy buddy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,613 ✭✭✭Big Nelly


    Wait till the mods see this and suddenly it will be moved over to Feedback forum like my thread was, reason: well there is more people on the AH forum so better move over so they can cover up the amount of problems people have with them.

    Something we used to hear alot of on here, think it was "Freedom of Speech", that has now changed "Freedom of Speech as long as the mod agrees with your opinion"

    this could go on for a while as it is also in my workings to return compliments. Lucky they are so many great things about us that we'd never run out of great things to say.

    Pighead for Admin!!

    fade2black is no spanner. Hes a big shiny dolphin in a sea of mediocre dogfish. This is the man who thought Pighead how to write properly.I used to write like this.Without any spaces. Then fade2black fixed me.

    Behold the exception to every rule eh rule.

    So your telling me that as a person completely against over moderation, and a total advocate of Free Speech.....YOU want people to stop posting things that YOU think are childish????

    Man......Pighead gets my vote if he promises to sort out this kind of crazy hypocritical thinking!!!!

    You're a good man Pighead, but you don't want to be a mod, you couldn't keep a straight face for long enough. The key is to say you don't want to be a mod though, and then they'll do it to spite ya. You wanna be an admin, or a Big Nelly.

    To be honest Pigheads not sure what he wants. I was pretty sure I despised all things Moddish but when you said they'd give me a Mods Job just to spite me my heart fluttered and I moistened my underpants. My heart says YES but my head says DEPENDS WHAT FORUM I GET OFFERED.

    Can you honestly tell me that you're life hasn't improved dramatically since you've become a Mod? I mean look at Beruthial. A washed up old timer whos best days were behind her, she gets a Mod job and suddenly shes a bona fide Sex Symbol and an object of desire to 95% of boards blokes. Thats the Power of Power.

    Oh it has, don't get me wrong. The cheques and bonuses are grand, and the HMV discount card and holiday vouchers and all, not to mention the t-shirt and bracelet, and the dinner parties at Dev's house with slovakian hookers. But yet, I still remain unfulfilled. I don't think you need to become a mod pighead, I think you just need a new sweater vest. And maybe a haircut.
