Whats with all the Moderators?

[SMEE]

All of a sudden........almost every poster and their dog seems to be a moderator on here. Where did they all spring from........and why?

[Mee]

Its to keep Johndo in check, at a certain phase of the moon it takes 6 to hold him down and give him a good warning  :001:

[chris123]

More to the point, why can't I be one :019:

:023:

[Johnboy]

Mantis is now a Senior moderator... Is that to do with his age..??

[Mee]

Why would you want to be one? It just turns you into a boring old git if TM4TJ is anything to go by  :001:

[Yngwie]

It's great, you get to move threads like this onto a more appropriate forum  :004:

[Johnboy]

Shouldn't you have put an announcement on the previous board with a little padlock thingy beside it...?

I couldn't think where the feck it had gone....  :029:

The new mods are useless

:004:

[Johnboy]

It might be interesting to see how far we can go with them....

I think they're feckin cr@p.... :023:

As the thread got moved just a few minutes after it was created and very few people had seen it, I exercised judgement and did not leave a linky thing on the previous board (which was the Non-ICT board, for discussion of footballing matter relating to other clubs)

God I feel like Hugh Dallas  :029:

[SMEE]

I did not post it in the NON ICT board at all. If it had been posted there, then there is a gliche with the site!!

[Johnboy]

It was on the ICT board and lots of people saw it.... maybe even millions...  :014:

Can't you put it back on there and then move it again with the wee padlock thingy..? 

[SMEE]

I posted it on the Anything Goes forum.

[Johnboy]

You can't have.... Why would Yngwie have moved it then..?

Are you just in from the pub..?

[SMEE]

I was careful to post in the correct forum. Maybe yngwie was playing god with his powers

[Yngwie]

Just keeping the boards tidy. I even checked the definition of the non-ICT board to see if it could stay there!

Who'd be a moderator  :029:

Welcome aboard.  :015:

[Scotty]

ok - the serious answer .......

Its been a tough time recently - as most regular posters know - and myself and Donald decided that we would like to try and broaden the moderating team so that we could become less involved in moderating and more involved in developing the site's look, features and progress.

We decided to introduce a three-tier system:

Board Moderators - the 3 or 4 names listed against each board when you go here http://www.caleythistleonline.com/community/index.php - Maimie, TM4TJ, YngWie, Alex Macleod, Andrew Fraser, Guzz, Kingsmills, Clacher Holiday2

Site Moderators - our existing mods - LG, DJS, RiG, Fly

Senior Mods - Gringo / Mantis

The board moderators will look after their own boards based on a new simplified "terms of service" document we are introducing. They will do this with the help of the site mods (who look after all boards) and refer to the senior mods or ultimately to Admin if something needs it. They can also moderate other boards as required. The only board they cannot moderate (and neither can Admin) is Gringo's NPL where only he has the relevant system permissions.

We deliberately tried to pick people who may not always agree with each other (or us) but who we feel have displayed common sense over a long time of posting. Hopefully the increase in the team will mean the moderating is actually more transparent and fair and we will require less and less of it .......... time will tell !

[CaleyD]

In amongst all the crap that filled our Inboxes a couple of weeks ago, people did have genuine concerns and suggestions.  We have been listening and we are taking action to improve things for everyone.  A proper communication expanding on what Scotty has said above and detailing all the site moderation revisions etc will be posted in the forums tomorrow.

[RiG]

I was careful to post in the correct forum. Maybe yngwie was playing god with his powers

It was definitely in the Non ICT forum for whatever reason.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

I welcome their introduction - Just look at it as a challenge.  :004:

[Johnboy]

Shouldn't the Immortal Howden Ender and Mee come into that catagory..??
