    I wonder who's going to get the life-time achievement Jizzler this year! :pac:

    Fair play though, in all seriousness, for 26 months of top-quality moderating. I don't know how you kept this up for so long on top of the UCC and Leaving Cert fora! :eek:

    Without your powers you are but a mere mortal. Quickly, let's stone him to death while we have the chance and claim it was retribution for all the attacks against our people. They'll never know we just like the ol' bit of execution.

    We may be equals here. But I can still destroy you if you venture into Leaving Cert or UCC.

    Needs more Davidius and deise_girl as mods tbh.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 7,396 Mod ✭✭✭✭**Timbuk2**


    Thanks for the great job modding up til now - still post regularly, even if you're not a mod!

    And if Davidius isn't made a mod, that's clearly an injustice to the whole C+H forum and I will... eh... not make my bed for a month... in protest.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 7,849 Mod ✭✭✭✭suitcasepink


    Aww Knifey you've been mod of here ever since I joined (Well Im 90% certain you have..)
    It'll be weird without you!


    Also this is kinda off topic but its not really so Ill go for it (And youre not mod anymore so we're equals :pac: )
    Before I become admin of boards I was wondering do you have to ehh "resign" as mod at some stage, or can you keep going forever? Or if you dont resign at some point will someone tell you when you've served your time? Coz everyone always ask how to become one but no one ever asks about not being one anymore!

    So yerra like aul Timmy said keep posting here even if you lost your authority! :P

    You can be a mod forever if you want. It's just a personal choice to step down. Many people step down as mods cause they find they don't have enough time anymore, or because they just don't want to do it anymore, or because they feel they're not involved in their forum(s) anymore or their interests have waned or any million other reasons!

    Basically you just inform a Cmod that you'd like to step down from a certain forum or all your forums or whatever and then they try to find a replacement.

    There ya go :D


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,972 Mod ✭✭✭✭Insect Overlord


    It's very rare for anybody to be told to stop modding. :)

    Most people just keep it up for as long as real life allows. College/work/family/health stuff can pop up, but most times a mod will be told they'll be welcome to come back in the future/when things are calmer again. Other times (speaking from my own experience) it feels like something needs to change. I believed this forum needed fresh impetus when I stepped down, because I just didn't feel like I had the energy for it.

    Different strokes for different folks though!

    Don't overreact, such a stirring act of defiance should only be used for the greatest injustice known to mankind: deise_girl not being made admin.

    Yup. Myself and Piste have been modding this forum since it was set up two years ago. :)

    And I'll still be posting, I just don't get to boss you guys around anymore....

    Like Konata and IO said, you don't ever have to resign if you don't want. You just step down when you feel like it and then CMods and Admins will find your replacement.

    The only way you'd ever be made step dwon from a forum would be if you did something horribly wrong (like bullying a user or something) or else if you were inactive (from the site, not just your forum) for a long long time.

    You'll learn all this anyway by the time you become the sole Admin of this site (and, indeed, supreme ruler of the whole Internet) :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 695 ✭✭✭Banjo Fella


    Well done, Sir Wrench! You may not have owned a motorbike or a leather jacket emblasoned with a Royal Air Force roundel, but you're still one of the best mods I've ever seen. :)

    You did a mighty good job, and we'll miss your benevolent dictatorship! Also, where're your mod powers now!? :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    Also, where're your mod powers now!? :P

    In LC and UCC. Both of which I can ban you from, if I feel like it! :pac:

    May I again suggest Jizzler for mod? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 695 ✭✭✭Banjo Fella


    In LC and UCC. Both of which I can ban you from, if I feel like it! :pac:

    Ooh! Hmm, I might take you up on the latter one, just so I can truthfully say that "I was banned from UCC during RAG Week". :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja

    Mixing up IO and Knifey? But it's so easy to tell the difference!
