Co-moderator for Choccie forum

    Ok, as the hMod of the chocolate/crisps/sweets forum I wish to request assistance in moderating the forum. Since it started the forum has proved to be a big hit, with a large volume of posters daily.

    For this reason, and the fact that I can not be online 24/7 due to demands from the outside world, in particular to commitments with college, social life, clubs/socs, etc I feel the need for a co-mod of the choccie forum.

    I have not yet got anybody in mind, but I'm sure ye admins could decide on a suitable candidate.

    I'll do it. I'm co-moderator of the table quiz forum, and have a keen interest in Chocolate, sweets and crisps.

    i like sweets and stuff



    (i have also heard that blisterman was saying how that chocolate/sweets/and crisps give him diarrhoea and solitaryman666 reputedly gains pleasure from melting kitkats in a dark room in his house, while cackiling evilly)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    It's Chocolate, does it need 24/7 moderation? I am suprised.

    That means the admins will decide. In order to do so, they will look at the forum and find someone with both responsibility and interest. Asking to be a mod is, as a general rule, the most effective way of putting yourself out of the running. BUt then again, it is the chocolate forum, where sugar is god, and all the rules are topsy-turvy

    i'll help out if needed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,330 ✭✭✭✭Amz


    I think this forum needs the input of a female boards member due to our expertise in such matters which is genetically imprinted on us all.

    As one of the main advocators for the inclusion of sweets in the forum I'd like to see it in safe hands as sometimes I wonder about memphis' impartiality in all matters confectionary.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    I nominate Koneko, myself or anyone else who was opposed to it at the start ;):p

    Really putting youself up there aren't ya!!!!!!!

    Just checked the hits on the Forum and its damn busy since its opened would suggest 2 co-mods rather than 1. (who said it wasn't goin to take offrolleyes.gif)

    Nukem


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭memphis


    People have knocked me ever since I put in the request for the forum and continue to do , but lighten up.

    All I'm saying is the place needs another mod, and I totally agree with some of the statements above in particular that its a mad house at time, hence why I request a co-mod. Also, since it started up it has had a steady flow of posts, and even those that were against the forum at first have started to come round and are now contributing.

    Up to admin as to who they want to put forward. I'm happy enough to accept help from whoever admins think will do the job justise!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭joe.


    Wouldn't it save a bit of hassle for the admins if you just came out and named who you'd like to be co-mod. Shrimp or someone :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    teacher teacher....pick me

    I'm sure Memphis should "Pick" some one, suggest it to regi and them and then they'll activate it.

    No thanks, I'd rather poke my eye out with a rusty fork.

    Rabies is a sound choice though. Also a sound choice would be getting rid of it (and memphis).

    No this is turning into yet another "lets poke fun at memphis forum", and if that's what ye all want fine, but all I'm asking for is some help to mod!

    Before Xmas I was able to be online on average 3 times daily this has now been reduced to about 3 or 4 times weekly, due to other commitments and responsibilities.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 6,527 Mod ✭✭✭✭sharkman


    As I said Memphis , I am at home most of the time( Lazy so and so that I am ) and would be happy to help out ...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,093 ✭✭✭woosaysdan

    I'll leave it in the capable hands of admins to decide who should be co-mod.

    Like I say I just need help, no pushed who it is really!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,187 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    Surely since it is a hosted forum the admins shouldn't be involved in its runnning at all.

    Ah now, that's not right. What did you really mean to say?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,187 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    As in, its hosted by boards but not associated with boards unlike general forums. Therefore mods choose their own mods and do their own thing (within reason).
    And I think you knew perfectly well what I meant.

    No harm in saying what you actually meant then in case anyone gets the wrong idea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭memphis


    OK, I'll narrow it down to 3 then. Admins can pick who they think wud best suit.

    KittyKat - cos she's a TippInst forum user, and sound out!
    Woosaysdan - cos he's a mate, and doing well as hMod of Cake/pie forum!
    Nukem - cos he's a current Mod, and was first to support the choccie forum!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭joe.


    you remind me of shrimp
