      @Madame:

      I'm glad I don't have bollocks

      🙂

      I'm pretty sure Giles is glad you don't have them either

      That would be weird

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          Ok, MASSIVELY personal, unpopular opinion: I dislike signatures here, people who change their avatars the whole bloody time, and people who quote posts with pictures (even if they're the first to respond)…

          There... Fuck the bloody lot of ya  😉

                I want more mod interaction!!!!  Maybe the most unpopular opinion around. I long for the days when threads were guided by Beatle and Landon.

                  "Obstacles are stepping-stones that guide us to our goals"

                  This is something the mod team should discuss. In the beginning, the mod team was used to steer the course of a thread

                  As time went on, life caught up with us. Additionally, being a mod is WORK, and sometimes dealing with personalities over the internet can grind away at your patience. Largely, this is why I am not much of a presence on this forum unless a hammer needs to come down

                  But you have an excellent point and I would like the mod team to start moving in that direction again

                      D666 I'm sure it is not particularly unpopular, but if you knew the reasons, and by that I mean a balanced reasoned view (not one sided), then you would understand why they are no longer moderators And as I have never spoken publicly or given my side of the story, then your view, per force, has to be completely biased and one sided…..

                        I think Jeff was speaking purely of their interaction with the members. To which, I will credit them, in the history of the moderators, we have never had two that connected as well with our constituency

                            I know exactly what he meant, but unfortunately we all come with good points and bad points, sometimes the bad outweighs the good.  But if I could find someone else that could do that, I'd be a happy bunny….

                              I know and understand why they are no longer mods. Nothing personal just business!!!! They were just an example. I want the current mods more active. I know how much time this can take up and how much energy needs to go into it. I just feel if mods aren't around can't/don't contribute. Things will move in the wrongs  direction. We can't change the past but, the future will be fun. I just want the mods to be part of that leading by example.

                                Well, we probably needs more mods then.  As Doug alluded to above, modding is work and actually bloody hard work, and it is at times emotionally draining.  Personally I am on the forum for 3 or 4 hours per day almost every day, even when I am on holiday.  Now this of course is my business and I have made that particular rod for my own back, but me dishing out Mod status is actually something of a poisoned chalice….

                                      you should have open nominations like an elected official, on second thought maybe that wouldn't be a good idea if the nuited states is any indication of what could happen.

                                          And just so you understand that I do understand, one of the things that I obsess about is how I get a more diverse modding team.  I am not dissing any of our mods past or present, but I am all to well aware that it all too easy for me to fall into the trap of choosing people I feel comfortable with…......
