Hi All,

This forum currently has "issues" with trolls and the like, and I don't have the time available to properly manage the community.

All the other forums are fine, with minimal issues, but this longboard room has so much angst!!

So, to help sort this out, I'd like to put out a call for a moderator to help.

A moderator is not a "banner", or a dictator, but is someone who helps people get along, who mediates between members arguing. As you've seen, banning is the absolute last resort.

Put forward your nominations for somebody you think has
a) a thick skin,
b) is keen to help others get along, and
c) is a longboarder!

Thanks,
Laurie

I'll do it!

Hang on, let me check the questions.

(a) Yep
(b) Don't care
(c) No

Oh well ...

Well how embarrassing it has been reduced to this. FK we are all grown men, if we have to have one my vote goes for Lacey I know hes got a longboard hidden somewhere or Laurie seeing as your forum caused all this trouble cant you fly us all somewhere for a weekend of cage fighting to sort this out

I would do it but apparently I have already rubbed a few noses the wrong way with my outspoken views on cats....

I'd be hopeless.


How about letting things settle down and see how that goes.

i could do this job, i have thick skin and the longest longboard of all

You could let me back in the SUP forum. I'll angst it up a bit. It'll be a maelstrom of red thumbs and tears. Then the longboard forum will seem tame in comparison.

Don't think you would have much fun in there anymore. It is all race boards and club stuff etc. Very little surf talk. All your old sparing partners dont seem to post much

i agree boofy considering i spent the morning with another cool breezer checking out longboards(skaters),then sharing a cold ale and talking ****...i come home to this. trolls are trolls. people fill a trolls happiness meter by a zillion when folk get upset. plus the is not even smart enough to be a good troll.
i must say it is a bigger shame as i think the longbedroom IS the friendliest forum on the net.

Bring back Boarder Paul I think he'd be just great, Kiwi level headed just saying

I reckon - if it happens that we need a mod - Mick would do a fine job. All his posts are positive. Interesting how many red thumbs he got just for volunteering. (cancelled out now) No-one loves the ref. Lacey would be brilliant - but it would be a shame to see any of the regulars restricted in anyway from enjoying just shooting the breeze (Brilliant play on words right there.)
Personally, I reckon that if the main offender has agreed to stay in the SB room and the rest of us agree to stay in here unless really truly genuinely interested in another room's thread (and if we go in, we stay positive and agree not to engage in any BS) ... then the solution provide yesterday is THE solution.
We don't need another mod - unless someone breaks the truce.
And I agree with the comments above - i ride SB, LB and 666 - and this room is the most fun and full of positives. It's also the most passionate and that comes out in strange ways sometimes.
As Fenech would say - love youse all. (Well, ALMOST all)

^ judging on the reds you received for a good post,I say they or he may not post but just red thumb the people he dislikes,hiding once again.He was being a smart arze again today in the sb forum with one comment,so he really will not change his ways.

I'm waiting to be red carded for this post,

^ That sounds like an endorsement Mac

Cheers Wavelength...personally I feel the place
could do with some mods & I'd be happy to do it

^^^^not a chance you power hungry forum monster i think wavelength should get it after his post

brought this to mind, could Mick be this forum's Ron Burgundy?

I will do it, i will also give free meat pies for friday night footy and a slab of pish for every time NSW wins the origin
my hand will never enter my pocket
=

Vote for me, for the same reasons as Pedro.

why one person why not a panel

like mac said, let the dust settle and see if a clean up is needed or the quick spit and polish was enough.

You forgot D) laurie. Good grammar. Here's a guide.

Be careful your subordinates don't get "board envy" with all this talk of extra long longboards
