  • A MOD for all seasons!

    Dear esteemed Brethren and Brothers of the Leaf!

    I come in peace.

    Having witnessed the recent strife on the forums recently I have decided to make the ultimate sacrifice and offer my services as a potential candidate for MOD-dom, and in so-doing, prostrate myself (no, that isn't what I meant) before your kindness, begging for support in the hope you can make it happen.

    I confess, my post count and term of membership is limited and recent, however, I believe the site now needs a 'new' voice of reason to pour lighter fluid on troubled waters (is that the right analogy?) and return harmony to our once welcoming and friendly forums.

    (Think of me as an angel of peace, bringing light and hope to where once there was darkness and despair!)

    In support of my application (or is it by invitation only?) I would like to put forward the following points:

    1). I speak English really good and can spell lots of unfeasibly long words like: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (thanks google).
    2). I am of sound mind (the body might need a bit of work though) and have the evidence to prove it. My certificate of discharge from the asylum states 'has occasional lucid moments but should not be trusted around scissors'. (Can every other MOD here say the same? - I thought not).
    3). I promise to uphold the 'Code of the BOTL' at all times, even if it involves deleting NSFW threads that personally brighten my day.
    4). In addition, I also vow that my pathological need for attention and lust for POWER will not go to my head (even though I can't wait to have the last word in every thread I close - Muwhahaha!).
    5). I will ensure that the correct use of 'smilies' in posts is adhered to at all times (Heaven forbid it gets out of hand again).

    All those in favour of petitioning the 'management' to grant me the powers of a GOD!
    Say 'Aye'



    I thank yee!
    Yours 'umbly
    El Cat

      Without knowing how MOD's in a forum such as this operate so I apologise for perhaps stating the obvious but is there not some type of MOD behaviour code that exists.

      What I mean is do MOD's have full freedom to post what they want or is there a set of guidelines etc that they have to follow. Or is it just down to individual's and how they respond to certain threads or posts and the actions they may take.

      Again, without knowing how this forum operates, but does a code of conduct exist for the MOD's or are they allowed to self police with impunity?

        I have not been here long but I can name one that needs replacing and from what I've seen you are a very good member to take up the position. No idea on the politics of this forum but if it went to a vote I'd vote for you El Catman. At least I think it might cure some of this

          Just to add, I am not against MOD's at all, I think they are a big requirement in a forum, I am just curious as to whether they have different rules to follow beyond the scope of the normal members.

            I might have guessed. All this arguing stuff has all been a dastardly Mod and Catador plot to goad our (in)famous Mexican into posting his 3000th post.

            Well, it ain't worked Catador, the silence from Chihuahua is deafening .... an' you ain't gonna be a Mod!
            If you want to, you can.
            And, if you can, you must!

                  There should be and I believe that one does exists here. After all without moderators forums will inevitably be plagued by anarchy and unrest.

                      They should be impartial, objective, setting an example for the majority, and sacrificing themselves for the greater good. I am of course speaking in generic terms.

                          From a different perspective, I suggest the following open question.

                          Is it right for a MOD who is involved in a thread/discussion/arguement to suddenly put on their MOD hat when they have had enough? Or should any MOD who is involved in such a thing be limited in using their MOD powers as it could be construed as abuse of their privileged position? Any other MOD not directly involved can step in and sort it out in an unbiased way.

                          I am sure that all MODs are unbiased without any doubt in my mind anyway.

                              They should also be able to settle an argument quickly and fairly before it escalates to a board war

                              Often by pm and closing/removing of the inflamatory thread
                              Perhaps with a warning to both parties

                              Im not sure a mod should start said war, that in itself should result in admin at least warning the mod...
                              Admins word is law....always and in this case he had spoken
