    Can any mods (current or ex) confirm or deny that a private mod forum exists?
    If so, what is ti's purpose?

    Up to your post, two ex mods have already said there is a private forum.

    Somebody with a grudge about boards posts about perceived bias with mods. That's a new one I must say!

    Seeing as we have a lot of mods in this thread care to elaborate on why you deleted my thread?

    Message the AH mods, it was probably one of them

    I guess it’s expected that mods will have their “pet posters” who will agree with everything they say…it’s natural to like some people more than others.

    As long as you continue to ply the mods with coke and hookers you will be fine.

    Is there any truth in the rumour that all the mods are virgins?

    See above. The use of coke and hookers is an obligatory past-time of mods, and a part of their wages.

    OK can someone tell me whats so bad about being banned? I assume you can just create a new username? I don't really remark on individual usernames, just on the replies themselves so I never notice anyone getting banned? Am I missing something?

    smarter then your average bunch of uneducated sausages are our mods - they have noticed, with consultancy assistance, that the banned user will tend to use the same IP Address :D

    This is clearly a dark ploy to take over the world by power hungry boards mod.
    If you tolerate this then your children will be next.


    (also did everybody not expect the mods to have a secret snarky laugh at the rest of us? I can only imagine the rolly eye smiley count in that forum to be in the bazillions.
    I presumed that and lording a little teeny tiny bit of power over the general populus here was the payment they recieved instead of money)

    I was browsing “le Reddit” when I came across this comment from a user called CDfm who claims to be an ex-Boards mod.



    I guess it’s expected that mods will have their “pet posters” who will agree with everything they say…it’s natural to like some people more than others. But it’s shocking that mods conspire to get rid of dissenting posters…a bit like how Stalin erased his murdered rivals from photographs and pretended they never existed. Very ominous.

    Of course, the user CDfm could just be lying.

    There's a lot of banned boards posters who go to reddit to piss and moan about the evil mods. I'm pretty sure I read that at the time in a thread someone set up because their threads kept getting closed on here. Having a go at travellers or something maybe. I'd take what anyone says about Boards on Reddit with a barrel of salt.

    What about starting a private forum where we discuss the mods?
    To even the field.

    Best place for that is your own forum. Easy to set up.

    For the real important stuff the mods have anonymous SIM cards. They learned the trick from watching Love/Hate. The main thing they discuss on the forum is how much it hurts yer hole on the way out after you have to swallow the SIM before you're nabbed.

    I have a private Mods notebook where I pretend I'm a mod and keep tabs on everyone.

    I have to keep it offline because everyone knows that Google sells info to boards.ie about the info people keep in their email accounts about people that they keep tabs on whilst pretending to be a mod on boards.ie

    If you send me some bitcoin I'll post a photo of my notebook but I will have to redact any sensitive information because I can't let my secret dossier become compromised and because I just learned what redact means and I can't wait to redact something.

    what I find funny is I was banned by a mod who upon reviewing their posts had made similar comments,


    and I have seen people make comments what I would condiser to be much worse then mine but nothing is said so I do think even if the mods arn't discussing us in this "secret clubhouse" they like to abuse the little bit of power they get, but i guess thats human nature

    and to those that easily take offence and report people maybe you should go to a bible study class instead of going on the internet if peoples opinions/views and sense of humour offend you

    freedom of speech is all good till someone takes offence to it

    As anonymous as they make themselves I guess. Same as with regular members.
