    There is a rumour going around that mods on boards get paid zilch :eek: - just a rumour mind. Is it time for a mod trade union? - It could simply be called "MOD" (sounds scary and militant) or something like that and you can take industrial action like the teachers.....it be great then you can demand extra wages and benefits ;)

    A Mod Trade Union should only be allowed if we can have a Rockers Trade Union too.

    Then they can fight it out on Brighton Beach.

    The Boards Union of Moderators... the B.U.M.
    It certainly captures the spirit of the members.

    Some manner of Mod/Rocker hybrid?

    A Mocker? A Rod?

    The mind boggles. What sort of evil being could create such an abomination????

    There is an investigation currently being carried out by the equality authority to determine if female mods are paid less then their male counterparts.

    Payment for mods? Pfft! We're in a recession now so they should be forced to take a 10% pay-cut on their current zilch.

    We deliver an excellent service when we choose to! We shouldn't take a pay cut!

    STOP VANDALING OUR BOARDS!

    Depends. Is your addiction itself hardcore or are you just addicted to hardcore?

    You can not give any increase to Moderators without getting David Beggs involved. Bearded wonder-man would not be happy of any deals without him getting his cut. You have been warned.

    I'd be slightly more concerned about the female mods 'casting couch' if I were you....though now that I think of it, male mods and a casting couch rumour might be more 'juicy' :cool:
