Mod of AH?

The Bollox

I got the idea for this from a different thread

if you were asked if you wanted to mod AH, would you accept?

I for one would not, not with the ammount of sh1te that goes on here on a daily basis. Fair f*cks to Ruu, he really turned the place around.

So, would you accept the job of mod here?

Chinafoot

Not a hope.

connundrum

Yes, €40k + 3 months off in the summer sounds a good deal tbh!*










*may not be an actual representation of earnings

Are there sexual favours involved?

Hail 2 Da Chimp

With Ruu there are always sexual favours involved

Tar.Aldarion

no

Doing something productive whilst wasting my time here? I don't know...

Theres always a middle-man.

As for AH, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... no.

Also, boo for missing the obligatory third option.

The_Minister

no

I would, but I wouldn't be that active. I would appear at about one o'clock at night, clear out the reported posts, flick through a few threads then go to bed. I wouldn't be that active on AH, so during the day I would probably only respond to reported posts.

EDIT: I'm the only one who said yes. Is there something that I should know?:p

layke

Modding = Effort.

That is a big layke no no.

Schweet.

Sounds good.

phantom_lord

Why anyone would want to be a mod is beyond me...

Ickle Magoo

No way Jósé! Mod of AH is like having an open licence to be insulted, told you are bad at your job, reported to the SMODS & bitched about on feedback....the mods do a great job but my poor little self confidence would collapse under the onlsaught, lol!

Hawt wimmens only please apply via PM.

Its a tough job I'll give you that, not at cracking point yet. Thats what ye want isn't it *breaks down*

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

no

Yes. I love to be the bad-guy. Dunno how long before I got kicked out for making it personal though. And banning people I don't like for very little.

Penis Massage?

azezil

A couple of years ago I might have, but not now.

The Sweeper

Nope, but only because I miss the personal abuse. I think it's sad that we have to attack the post and not the poster. Means I haven't been able to call anyone a gobshoite in ages. I am, therefore, not a suitable candidate.

hehe.. it's just not right is it

No thanks! You need plenty of time for modding AH and time is what I'm lacking in right now.

That said, I take my hat off to Ruu and the rest of the lads on AH.
Karoma too. \0/

Nightwish

no

I might...it'd give me something to do in work. All I do is read wikipedia all day

_Kaiser_

I barely have time to read boards at all lately so Im out

Karoma

No.

Dooom

no

Solely for the banning powers, yes. I should probably stop mentioning this.

Rabies

no

I would do it, just to get rid of the crap that gets posted here.
The new mods are faily quick off the mark to move threads to the right place and edit/delete the rest.

But K does smell:D

Karoma, you should have stayed with me for the easy life. But, no, you had to spread your wings.

Back on topic, a big no from me. AH must be the only forum with more work than the soccer forum.

Faith

No, no I wouldn't. I frankly couldn't bear to be expected to read all the absolute shíte that gets posted in here, day after day after day... I only ever actually vist AH when I'm exceedingly bored or dodging work.

OFDM

no

Hell yeah!!! - anything to get into the Sex & Sexuality forum for free!!!!

byte

No thanks! Far too much work and hassle for which I haven't enough time.

Rabies

no

Not all it is cracked up to be.
We only meet for big sex orgies once a months now. If you're not a mod or a subscriber you don't get an invite. Sorry.

tman

no

I'd rather chew on rusty staples tbh

MrJoeSoap

Nope!

Only if those sexual favours from Ruu are included.

bluto63

No way. Far too time consuming. I tip my hats to you mods, you do a fine job but I just couldn't take it

Adam

no

Am I the first to say yes for a genuine reason??

I would, it might not be all fun and games, but anything to forward the community and lend a hand with is good in my books! It's good to give something back!

What would you do as AH mod that would "forward the community"?

Adam

no

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to imply that there is anything I would do that any of the current mods wouldn't. I suppose I worded that quite badly. I just meant that in a community based on user input and support, anyone such as yourself donating time and effort to the site is a plus.

Something that involves lube methinks.

TBH on a serious level, I know what you mean. I sometimes feel guilty that the best thing that I have done for boards was suggest a forum, so generally I report spam, and any other posts that break the rules, to help the mods. If we all report offensive, or shilling posts, then we make their job easier.

On a non-serious level, I'd just like two minutes alone with Faith's avatar, and as a mod I could use my influence to get it.

I think that he just thinks that you are one of those people, who want to improve after hours by removing everything fun from it, and destroying what makes it unique.

the_syco

no

Yeah. I'd rule it with a steel-fist, handing out bannings and what-not to those who I think deserve it.

I didn't take it like that at all; the challenge was a friendly one: to promote yourself and opinions (Also, as an excuse to further discuss what we do and why we do it*).



* Example:
Moving threads from AH:
Many people seem to think AH is the only forum in existence on Boards.ie. This, chums, is quite untrue. Posting everything in AH makes AH unreadable, and starves other fora of traffic. These people then reply with conviction that they posted in AH because the other forum doesn't have as much traffic... quite a vicious circle there, eh Teds? Discover Boards.ie.

Ah right ok. Well I didn't think I was up for promotion

But you're right, the other fora are an integral part obviously, and I fully endorse the moving of threads that are inappropriately placed in after hours. I sometimes wonder if most people discover the real resource that lies within boards.ie.

And perhaps it is a bit of a vicious circle but I like to think in the long run that circle will be broken and the expanse of boards will be recognised!

My 2c.

That and laziness me thinks. Then out comes the broom I have which has no bristles left on it, Kar got the good one in the pile and then your [STRIKE]friendly[/STRIKE]AH Janitor is here!

If the thread wasn't really movable, (it had the typical AH post standard), if I was mod then I would still post a link, early in the thread, telling people of the dedicated forum, and asking them to use that if any new-thread-worthy issues arose within the subject (as frequently happens in AH).

EDIT: I was just looking at the Patrick Nally thread, and I have to say that I would hate to mod that thread.

Not all threads should / are moved. That's a decent enough solution sometimes. On the other hand, some threads are salvaged from becoming typical-AH posts with a quick forum move. Fair point though; there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution.

Adam

no

It's a fair point indeed. I'm worried we might go down "that" road again... nobody ask ANYBODY what to do with those threads...

You're avatar makes me sad.

@The_Minister

You might get more support for the Political Theory forum if people could see the link It's hard on the ould googlies!

Noted and Changed. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: No sooner had I changed my link colour, then a lady invited me to act in a play! The way these cheques keep rolling in, its nearly criminal!

I'm missing the connection between the link and a play...

Where can we see you perform then?

Still in all, it's nice to know we have ~20 back-up mods, I'll sleep better tonight! I have to be honest, I don't really see the point of this thread...
