Ross Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Regardless of who the mod was, about 95% of what's happened would have happened anyway. Whether it was Ross who was mod or someone else. Hence, why no one is mad at Ross, because it was fairly inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 What's actually happened? About certain threads being, or not being, closed. Culminating in this thread. Which I'd ask if it could be merged with our Fast-Spam thread? Cause this doesn't need to have a thread of it's own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyTarget Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Okay thanks and yeah there are way too many threads for banter between certain people... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeRoss Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Nah, I've renamed it and it can be kept for discussion about the admin and the mods, as this is what its generally about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyTarget Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Righto. Well I have no problem with mods/admin so I'm off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_hymn Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Whether it was Ross who was mod or someone else. I know that, so why the complaining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeRoss Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I have my own ideas for moderating this place. its just going to take a few days of communicating with the other admin to get this place sorted out, cause lets be honest. These forums are obviously not good right now because everyone is complaining about things and we need stuff to change in order for people to enjoy coming on here, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I know that, so why the complaining? Because nothing will be done about it if no one speaks up. Do you think China would be a 'democracy' today if they didn't stand up and complain in Tiananmen Square? If no one makes it heard that something is wrong, then nothing will be done.

travel_hymn Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Because nothing will be done about it if no one speaks up. Well, you know I'm talking about Ross' moderating, right? Not about all the spam..xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well, you know I'm talking about Ross' moderating, right? Not about all the spam..xD So are we. If no one speaks up about this place being under-moderated for the time being, then nothing will be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_hymn Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 But aren't Lee and Alex talking about it being over-moderated? And that Ross is all moody nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeRoss Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thats all well and true, but some people should know better and a little bit of self-policing wouldnt do any harm. The way some people act towards other people on this forum is an utter joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Nah, they were more questioning why he closed X thread but not Y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeRoss Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Nah, they were more questioning why he closed X thread but not Y. i'll ALWAYS get that but, for every thread people will have opinons about whether it should be closed or opened.

Defiance Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Why all the hate on Ross? He's just trying to do his job! Are you all gonna be like this with every moderator from now on? If there are people that are PMing him about threads, what's he going to do, ignore it? It doesn't matter who they suggest as Mod, they'll be closing threads like these and stopping arguments...cause that's what they're supposed to do. It's not fair to take it out on them, when you're the ones causing all the fuss. Stop the Abuse - Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguis Dominus Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 i'll ALWAYS get that but, for every thread people will have opinons about whether it should be closed or opened. If you're the only one moderating, though, then your opinion as to whether or not a thread should be closed is the only one that counts. People can want a thread locked or re-opened as much as they want, if you think otherwise, then their opinion is irrelivant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defiance Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 also.... moss (mod ross, get it?) : got nothing against you mate you seem like a top bloke, the thing is you alone cant do the job, its too much to handle, without any help nothing is going to work at all, you cant watch everything all the time because simply, you are only human (and scottish) this place has been in an epic state of disarray for a long time and seems very dead tbh, its got to the point where your going to either have to go auschwitz or do nout and save yourself the stress until you get some backup.

RenegadeRoss Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 i know mate, ive realised that myself.

As you say, this simply isnt a one man job, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
