Lesley Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 .........and don't forget that when old threads are tidied up a lot of posts are deleted so some people have fewer posts showing than they actually made My excuse is that I was a Mod for a long time!

Willow Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 .........and don't forget that when old threads are tidied up a lot of posts are deleted so some people have fewer posts showing than they actually made I did wonder what happened to the post counter when threads were deleted...

Mr Rhode Island Red Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Mr RIR - please dont take this the wrong way - is it time to get out more? I love working with numbers, and in fact, that research only took a total of about 10 minutes And how do moderators get picked, do they have to apply etc. ?

The Dogmother Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 New mods are only appointed when one steps down, or if the workload becomes too much for the current team. A shortlist is put forward to Omlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I've also always wondered what the criteria for being a mod is and what the tasks are. That is not to say it is something I could do as it must take a huge amount of time. Do you have to read x number of posts a day? I'm sure there are some mods I haven't 'spoken' to but those I have had direct contact with have been so kind and patient, starting with my fiasco over trying to change my forum name when I first joined and not knowing that a PM meant a 'private message' (thanks, Christian ). Then there was my more recent fiasco over putting a chicky on the Omlet sales area and finding out that it only took one click for said chook to be sold so I couldn't vet the home (thanks, Redwing).

craftyhunnypie Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 You have to watch your P's & Q's too much if you're a mod. Don't think I could do that too well. Say it as it is I do. Don't think I could be myself & relax / enjoy the forum if I was a mod ( fat chance). Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammiboo Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I have to say being a mod can be hard work and a thankless job. I was a moderator (second in charge) on an international italian car forum for years. Towards the end I had no enjoyment being on there. Getting involved in the politics between moderators. All the fun had been taken out, i dont really go on there any more just because it was stressful so decided to have a complete break and have stayed away for over a year. Its nice to come on a forum when i want to and not because its my job. far more relaxing and enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 No my tendancy to be contreversial would mean I would be on another list the "dont even think of asking this woman to be a moderator" list mwah mwah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rhode Island Red Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 anyway, back to the stats, Maybe i could do a monthly or bi-monthly report on how many members have joined in the past while, any new members in the 10,000 + group? etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'd be interested to read them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yes I'd like to see more of your stats. For some crazy reason I like to see if I fit in a box (other than the 'say it like it is' one, that is ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
