Who voted for the new Mod????????

eagle eye

Just seen we have a new mod and the question must be asked

Were you guys just taking the piss, when you asked who we would like to see as a new mod

RichieLawlor

Wondering this myself actually, Who is this guy, never heard of him

Ste05

AFAIK, he's a new Games cmod so automatically gets made a mod of every forum under Games, i.e. such as Poker because it's under the Games catagory, just like amp is a mod here, doubt we'll be seeing much of him TBH.

Also, no mod is Voted in here, they are appointed... as you all know this ain't no democracy.

CHD

our vote doesnt count. :rolleyes:

bops

good name imo

I don't remember there ever being a Vote available, there was a suggestion thread alright, but certainly it was never going to be put to a Vote, once again, boards isn't a democracy.

What does it matter who the new mod is anyway?

Cause it would probably be a help if he knew somethin about the forum not just a blow in who would go around closing every thread. We have enough dictator mods imo:p

It matters because if everyone hates the mods then everlyone leaves the forum and boards loses.

And we also need a mod we can respect, like Bops.

This is correct. New Cmod for Games has been needed for a while now, amp doesn't seem to be around a huge amount these days and there's constant bickering and the like going on in some of the console forums with the mods doing sfa there.

Besides, it's the new person you bring any gripe with Laf/Ste/etc to if you can't settle it between yourselves, in effect it's the moderator to the moderators and their influence won't really be felt in any individual forum.

Also, had a bit of a chuckle at people thinking there was a democracy on Boards

So the poker forum would be quiet, there would be no trolling or spam? Nice.

Mods keep telling us "this is not a democracy".

Don't the people have any say?

Yeah it is, but it's run by nazi dictators ... did some people miss that memo?? Have a read of Feedback every now and again to see some of our (mods in general, us poker mods are great IMO) atrocities.

Still a community, just not a democratic one...

Looks like BOPS could be the man for the job to clean out some of the rif-raf...

Workers? We're all on Boards in the middle of the day, who's working?

Pretty stupid imo.

When 5starpool became a mod it was better because they picked someone who already spent a lot of time of the forum and knows a lot about the Irish Poker scene etc, they did the same thing in Horse Racing a while ago, picked a mod who hasnt a notion about racing who spends no time there and went around closing everything and just being a bit of a goon.

Read the above about him being a cmod and not a forum specific mod.

It's really nothing to worry about.

banned for being a dopey fcuker - 2 months is fair

I think the new new poker mod is a damn fine fellow, and anyone who does not agree deserves a paddling followed by a banning.

This is just like that Robert Mugabe mod situation in the Zimbabwe forum.

This is a benevolent dictatorship, one man one vote (and I'm the man )

The reason why its ok to have a BD here and not in real life is that you arent required to stay here under our "brutal rule". Imagine if there were an infinite number of countries with an infinite variety of rulerships, some people would be happy under a fascist dictatorship, others would want an anarchy or a democracy or or or... online, thats exactly what can be done. The fact that our numbers keep going north (which are analogous to votes in this system, even more accurate since everyone "votes") seems like we are doing something right

It was the wig wasn't it. The wig got them. That's all we need. A mod with a curious sense of style. GL Kev.

Remember during the week someone was complaining about having to pay subscription to Ireland.com? (Irish times online)

Well,Saturday's times ran an article about how they are making the online paper free from Monday onwards.

Boards campaigning FTW?
