Happy chickens! Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Haven't been on here much lately, new job and lots of other things, but I do drop by quite often even if I don't post. I have been on a forum linked to a new job and it has made me realise just how well looked after this forum is - the mods create a really happy supportive atmosphere where people can post without worrying that others will belittle/criticise them. So three cheers for our hard-working mods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Absolutely I think they are wonderful. There are plenty of forums where you do get it in the neck, especially if you keep bees. I think this place is great, so forgiving too; speaking as somebody who has overstepped the mark once or twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Agreed, I love that this forum is always so supportive. We can disagree but we have to respect other points of view and it's a great source of info. Thank-you mods for keeping the tone right and being so nice when we accidentally break the rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 You are all excellent, and I'd like to thank Christian particularly on this occasion. I was going to respond in a very shouty way recently to some comments when I saw that he had more or less said, behave yourselves or I'll take your toys away. He was right and it stopped me having bit of an Eastenders moment and I'm glad about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Blimey Patsy, It's rare that I get a thank you I am usually on the receiving end of angry pm's. None of us like having to edit posts, but sometimes things do get heated/out of hand and it is necessary. Thanks for the nice comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 i have to say this forum generally brightens my day - and i have started reading blogs - Christian I love your blog - hope the back is better - I know what its like to stagger around hardly able to move due to back pain - mines wear and tear of the job and being middelaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 You'd be suprised at some of the hassle and abuse that we get when modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 What a lovely thread, thank you! I was quite surprised at how difficult it is - I don't think any of us enjoy modding people we consider friends, but we all make mistakes and need modding at times (I've had my fair share too!)

goodinparts Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Just to add my thanks as well...you make this a really happy place to spend time. Now, where's that emoticom of a bouquet that we can present to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
