I vaguely remember some scandal involving an AH mod a long time ago. I thought it had something to do with the horse racing forum but I was never clear on the details. Certainly he was banned anyway and I think a load of others were banned at the time too. It was all drama at the time.

I remember now it was scojones (previously sjones) and also fade2black I think. Whatever happened the two of them were banned all of a sudden having been high profile mods. No explanation given to users who cared but lots of mods alluding to knowing what happened. They went on about it so much while making a big show of not disclosing the reason that it drew more attention to it than just saying why and moving on.

I remember Terry (I think he was also something like julip at some stage). He used to post drunk threads and say some strange stuff in them but he was a really good mod for AH.

Mods - you have my utmost respect. Imagine the chaos of threads if we didn't have the mods doing such a great job. It appears there are hundreds of ye!

I met Bubbles in person and adopted his cat. It was a bad decision in hindsight !! The thing was the devils work and had to be taken by a cat rescue because it went quite mad.

But if your dog went mad too, is the issue the animals?

Four hundred and forty two to be precise (think that includes cmod and admins but could be wrong, so not that precise after all).

The treatment of the mods on this forum is frankly a disgrace. They deserve much more respect than they get. They work hard on here guarding these threads.

Thats a pretty low ball comment and not remotely funny. My dog is likely going for a brain scan soon.

What can be done when there's a legitimate gripe about a post and it's made by a Mod on a forum they mod ?

You're screwed right ??

just report it. i believe cmods and admins can see reported posts as well. modding a particular forum doesn't exclude that mod from abiding by the forum and site rules within the forum they mod.

I'm not sure they'd look at every reported post though. Is it help desk or feedback where you can complain about a forum or mod? (One or the other) Or maybe pm a cmod/admin to see what they'd say.

What I remember being funny at the time was we weren't allowed to talk about KPMG girl's rant or indeed her very existence, but the Gangnam Style remix by Friday Projx got a free pass because it was just so damn hilarious

There was mod in the boxing forum and by god he could argue about every fooking boxing result and so on. Threads were heated

Got demodded but I think he still posts over there. I like his passion

complaints are dealt with in help desk. certainly pming a cmod or admin before hand is a good option, at least you will get an idea if it's worth persuing a complaint or not.

Hellrazer · 25-07-2018 02:20PM

Never went rogue as such but if anyone remembers the April fools joke I pulled a few years back where I posted in the animal and pets forum that the admins had secret files on all users, that my fellow mods were all assholes and just generally gave out "secrets" of boards admins.All untrue BTW

I got site banned, demodded and everything until I pointed out the date.

Kept it going for hours though.

Nuggety cun sounds like a Scottish dessert...

'Ooooh, what's that?'

'Just some nuggety cun. It's ice-cream, oatmeal and suet encased in a sheep's stomach. Do you want some?'

'…'
