Voting for your favourite is a little obscene. This isn't X Factor.
How is the guy with the least number of votes going to feel?

I voted for Rod coz he made me potatoes once.  ;D

Unless you change the title of the poll then you need to take out Tikay and Kev ;)

we currently have 4 mods, at one time we had 6

I think 8 is about right, we are stretched and a few of us do far too much.

Tighty

Kev

Sheriff

Rod

Red

Tikay

??

red, myself, sherriff, rod

rest are staff,admin

sheriff deletes about 50 spammers a day alone, thats who does too much!

DONT SHOOT THE MESSANGER.......... ;)

Personally i think a poll like this is wrong - I think all the mods do an equally good job and its impossible for me to pick one, i dont want to be held responsible for the feelings of whoever comes last in the poll because who ever it is does just an important job as whoever wins.

FROM ALL THE JUNGLE CREATURES ON BLONDE

 ;applause; :respect: ;applause; :respect: ;applause; TO ALL THE MODS AND BLONDE STAFF!!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

To all practical intents & purposes insofar as it refers to me, "Admin" is the same as "Moderator". Except, I don't do much.

Seeing as I've managed to piss most of you off at one time or another this year, I have taken the liberty of voting for myself.


I disclose this in case the poll is seen to be irregular at a later date and I have to front up to accounting discrepancies.


Thank you

I think this poll should serve as a warning to potential new moderators.

Being a mod will make you unpopular!

Over the course of a year, you will upset a lot of people that you consider to be your friends.

You will spoil their fun, remove their posts, give them final warnings, and sometimes, suspend their accounts.

You will spend half your time trying to do your job without upsetting the members, and the other half trying not to upset your fellow mods.

You will switch your computer off at night, and be unable to sleep because you have fallen out with someone you like, admire and respect.

Believe me, popularity contest it isn't!

I voted for you RED-DOG.

It may, or may not, have been purely because you were the only mod not to have any votes thus far.

My vote goes to Tighty, he seems to be more willing to get involved in the hard stuff more than some of the others. I also see him on here more than the rest.

I also know that when i have been a pain on the forum he is the person who comes to me to ask me to cool it.

Fair play fella.


P.S. Next year i will be voting for Myself and MFI

This isn't to say that the rest don't work as hard. You'd be surprised how much discussion goes on behind the scenes, just because one is the spokesman when it comes to moderating the thread, doesn't mean that he was acting alone.

Also, you may find that some moderators prefer to mod via pm if possible, therefore not displaying their moderating as much as others.

I can assure you that Tighty, Red, Kev, Sheriff and Rod all work their socks off, whether it's clear on the open forum or not.

In terms of forum presence, I think Red actually holds the record for amount of time spent on the forum.

Yeah sorry i meant more so than the others, didn't mean to imply they sit about doing nowt.

I wasn't referring to time on Forum either, since Tighty has been a mod i doubt there is anyone who spends more time on here than him, especially in the last 6 months.

He takes part in all most every discussion and starts many himself, these are also things mods should do imo.

Tighty only has 40.6% of the vote.

More people voted for someone else, than voted for him.

For this reason, a family pack of one finger twixxes may be going overboard, I move that we fully explore the Asda own brand caramel biscuit bar instead.

its British Democracy in action, governments are elected routinely on 35% of the vote

Perhaps we need a proportional representation/transferable vote poll

I like this model.

The single finger twixxes, are they a metaphor for the government using outside management consultancy? Inefficiently wrapping ultimately the same product, and jacking up the cost.

exactly tank, exactly

The chocolate coating and caramel topping look and taste good, but by the time you get to the biscuit base the attraction wanes and you realise its all just an elaborate facade.

New Labour all over.
