    I will donate €100 euro to ssf if i am made boards mod of the ladies lounge for 1 week.

    This is a genuine offer.

    And considering im jobless at the moment.. thats a decent offer for the fund.

    Additional bids/pledges from members would help im sure.

    Good idea with T&C's,
    - If you ban and start deleteing threads at will for no reason you get site banned by an admin :)

    Otherwise nice idea for pledge


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,212 ✭✭✭✭Tom Dunne


    I'll throw in €50 to help your cause.

    To be fair though if people don't want Snyper as a mod of LL for a week then they need to create a new collection where people donate €€€ to not see him as mod !

    If this happens and you don't clean up the unsightly mess you are sure to leave (metaphorically? literally?) I will hunt you down and terrorise you until you're scared to come within 50 feet of the internet.

    Which, my modship, or the request by the gent above you?


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Collect the cash first, previously we've had stuff like this and people didnt pay.

    Also, I have to have a think about this, I'm definitely NOT in favour of this sort of thing as Boards assists SSF and I dont want to step on toes either. If it happens it will be at the request of the LL and with strict controls on what you can do not to mention no access to the Mods forums. Sorry but I'm very uncomfortable about this precedent.

    DeV.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    Ive no intention other than putting my money where my mouth is. The sole purpose is to raise money. Ive offered up an idea to raise money. What boards.ie want to do with it from here is up to the admin.
    If the admin want to put a structure, rules, or guidelines in place so be it.
    I dont know where to take it from here, it would require
    others to make decisions.

    i offered my pledge, give me a link, and ssf will have it today


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    You're bound to piss one of those wimmins off: you'll be mod for a week and then banned for a month.

    Would the admins be more amenable to granting one of the forum requests or something like that? I'm sure some people will be more than willing to have paid a handsome price for a Microwaves and Time Machine forum for instance.

    Excellent idea !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,403 ✭✭✭passive


    I think the best plan would be to take the donations so far, instate him as mod with some, but not too many restrictions, then put up a counter for amount gathered to depose him. He's mod and causes mischief and whatnot until another €400 or whatever is raised...

    assuming the consent of the other LL mods, of course...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin


    Make him pay another 200 dollar damages deposit which he loses if he makes a mess :)

    You must've gotten a fairly generous redunancy package if you're splashin around money willy nilly like this. Didn't know that renewable energy workers were so well paid! ;)

    You just want to piss of the ladies, that's all. Be a good man and donate the money without angering the wummanz. Although, I'm not really too bothered by either camp - I've no money for charity and there's very few women on this site anyway, let em have their day in the sun - and not just on page 3 :pac:

    Isn't there already enough dead/useless forums on this site ? Wanderly Wagon forum anyone?

    I wouldn't imagine you'd want to be pimping modship for the sake of a donation. Surely it'd make more sense if yis just dontated some of the subscription money or something ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin


    You are the fool, Mr. Howie - Punch, one of the great fool-victims of history, for you have accepted the role of king for a day, and who but a fool would do that?

  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    The LL mods have agreed to have you for a week of modding if you raise €1000 pledged to your name. Anyone who supports you can simply add it to the comments when they donate money and I will tally.

    This is their donation in a sense.

    Please note, I will NOT be doing this again. Boards cannot be "held to ransom" while bits of it are sold off to the highest bidder. No forums, no modships, no nothing. One time gig.

    Eh how do you think Zaph got made mod of the ladies lounge, he won it in a raffle...
    No seriously he did.
    And the prize of a forums being created was in the same raffle last year and that is how we have the hats and beards forum.

    Aye Thaed but the difference is the community deciding that sort of thing or doing it themselves, not having a 3rd party (the user) appeal to a 4th party (SSF) to make Boards give them something. Basically this stuff isnt SSF's to sell and its a touch presumptuous :)
