    Boards has a new guideline of a minimum 2 mods per forum, and over the next few months all forums in the Sports Category will eventually achieve this minimum coverage. UrbanSea is to co-mod Horse Racing with convert.

    Does that mean "What happened them?" is a legitimate thread title?

    Who are "they" btw? Is there more than one of him? Probably a generic "one size fits all" introduction post.....typical boards...lost touch with the people. WE DESERVE BETTER!

    Can I suggest, Urban, that we introduce a weekly spot prize for the best mod slag?
    Urban and convert, in a tree,
    M-O-D-D-I-N-G,
    first comes a warning, second comes a ban,
    third comes a trotting racing fan

    it was going well until the last line....

    * quickly looks round boards to see which fora only have one mod and sends pm to that mod saying what a good person they are *


    Congrats UrbanSea, good to see someone with a genuine enthusiasm for the sport getting the gig.

    Hi! Yes, I knew from when we worked together in Region, but we often use "they" and other generic references to preserve the anonymity of members as much as possible on boards.

    And yes, I know of the expression that there's no anonymity on the Internet, but we do the best we can on boards, even if it makes us sound ackward using "they" rather than she or he. Calling someone "they" or "them" looks better than referring to them as "it." :pac:

    In any case, when we were looking for a highly qualified member of the Horse Racing community to co-mod with convert, UrbanSea was "it!"

    Congrats Urban.

    Mr(s) Sea is never afraid to post his/her opinion whenever (s)he feels his/her input is required.

    Name change to Ladyboy might be in order to protect your id!!
