blonde poker forum

When Tank left to pursue his career, we made a decision to appoint a replacement Mod. However, as it's been a bit "warm" lately, we left it a while, but we think the time is now right to bring him on board.

We have quite a list of willing & potentially very able Mods available to us, in the queue so to speak, but I'm confident that our selection is absolutely the right man for us.

He's shown tremendous touch & feel in his Posts, he's a man of great integrity, he can handle heat & pressure, and has the ability to diffuse awkward situations.

Above all, we trust him implicitly, & we are quite confident he's gonna be a splendid addition to the Mods Team. Sadly, he's a complete Fish at Poker, but then again, so are the rest of the Mods, so that's OK.

Welcome aboard, Kinboshi.

nice one Kin



YNWA

well done kinboshi, i hope you enjoy it mate.

Welcome aboard Daniel.

I think this is an excellent choice and addition to the team, as I've heard he makes a particular nice brew, and is rather handy with a hoover.

Tea, no sugar please

Eggheads rule!

Hmmm, not sure if congratulations is the right word to use, as we all know being a mod is officially being labelled a fish, but congrats anyway ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

excellent appointment and congratulations to an all round decent chap.

Thanks everyone - you're all too kind :)up

Honour to be asked to be a mod, and to be able to access the collection of muck and filth on the mods' board.

I will still be posting the same crap as usual - only now, if you disagree with me I can ban you (I think that's how it works anyway).  ;D

Funny really i'd really be interested in the criteria for being a mod.
I mean are you actually looking for wisecracking, amiable, upset nobody sort of chaps or are you looking for people to actually help run the place?
We all know that there is (and has) only ever been 1 mod on blonde and that is tightend. the guy is an absolute legend, the only one to get involved.
The rest are just tokens, always have been, Heid was very good, same with Kev but they no longer occupy the space.
It really is a daft joke to think that serious people keep an eye on this place.

Thanks Ian, you're support is, as always, welcome.

I think maybe Tony already answered that question IFM in his opening post.x

Congratulations Dan. You've shown yourself to be educated, eloquent and entertaining too!
























So how the hell did you get to be a mod?  ;scarymoment;

thanks

How can you be so disparaging about a resource you use so much, yet pay nothing for?

You can be wrong if you like but there's no excuse for being so rude.

CONGRATS KIN WD.,.,.,.,.good luck at being incharge  .,.,heheheehhe

Ian I have to respond to this

The mods are a team, everyone works hard and contributes. Some behind the scenes more, some more public. Some have full time occupations, some don't so workloads can affect how much some are visible. None are token mods, each have different strengths. Even Kinboshi.

All that happened in the early days was that I tended to volunteer to do the PMs or the emails...something to do with a love of my own voice and a tendency to write 6 paragraphs for every one that was needed!

In addition I spent the most time on the nitty gritty..nowadays this is shared far more..its a better team

Earlier today Nemesis said something to the effect of "TightEnd banned me" and I replied that this was wrong...I merely sent the emails!

rotflmfao

Darth Tightend actually... ;starwars;

Ian

Let me say first of all that if your comments apply to anyone, they apply to me. I freely admit to being very poor quality mod material, but I've been here a long time and people tolerate me. The others however work extremely hard. They do a very difficult job that often leaves them emotionally drained and upset. They do it for no pay and very little thanks.

I thought your comments were hurtful, spiteful, and totally uncalled for.

I used to consider you to be my friend, I'm sorry to say, that is no longer the case. I'm sure you won't think it's much of a loss.

Good luck to you and yours.

Tom.

Good choice in Kinboshi IMO.   

Good luck Daniel !

Sometimes, in the midst of a "hot" debate, nasty things are said, things one may later regret saying.

But this was an unprovoked attack on the Mods Team, & was quite un-necessary. 

I don't intend to debate the criteria for selecting the Mods, but I'm entirely happy with it.

FWIW, the Mods do a lot more than some folks realise. Organise blonde Bashes, Mansion, Titan & Virgin deals (which have benefitted blonde Members to a huge amount), the Shop, the Leagues, all in addition to trying to keep this Forum - which you get free access to - a decent place where like-minded folk can chill.

With the free access to this Forum also comes Live Updates & such-like. To attack so un-necessarily those who work so hard, voluntarily, to keep the place half-decent is ingratitude of a huge degree.

All the Mods contribute an enormous amount, but some have a higher profile than others.

I am equally grateful to every one of them, & would defend every one of them, & I speak for the majority of blondes in thinking this.

I could make a case for each & every one of them, but let's talk about Ironside.

He's been with me since the very start. He has, personally, sorted out Accounts & Avatars for any number of Members. Retrieved hundreds of lost Passwords, & reset Accounts which had technical problems. Monitored the Forum for Members who, for disingenous rather than humorous reasons, set up duplicate Accounts & try to sneak back in under the radar. Ensured we have adequate file capacity for the pictures our Forum carries. Set up a temporary Forum when our Server crashed, as it used to frequently. Replied to, promptly, thousands of PM's from Members who had Forum technical problems. Kept the flood of spam at bay. And Modded a place where, increasingly, he & his colleagues are attacked without good reason. Handled unwarranted & not very bright abuse when we've had to Suspend or Ban a Member - something no Mod ever does lightly.

I could make the same case for every one of them. Iron is no more or less exceptional than the rest of them. Collectively, we have to field hundreds of PM's each & every week to run this place. Hundreds, every single week.

I'd like to think you regret saying the things you did to attack them so blatantly. But somehow, I doubt you will. Your Post said more about you, than the Mods.

Kybosh is a Mod, nice one.

Most importantly, how will the use of names like -

"Kybosh", "Kyfishi" and "One hit wonder"

Be affected ?

You will need to show more respect to him. Mr Kyfish, if you don't mind.

fook me tony and red you shouldnt have to answer.,.,.,.,
i for one are in great debt to blonde for the information,knowledge,fun,sad,emotional,.,.,the list is endless.,.,and as i write this i cant even belive that i am having to write it.,.,.,,.,you know the old saying.,.,.,.if you dont like what you see or what your getting then ef off,.,.,this site costs the members 0.,.,so i am gratefull for anything from blonde (except tightend lol)
mods.......
you can please some  people some of the time.,.,
but you cant please all of the people all of the time.,.,.,

Congrats Kinboshi - enjoy your new role - and thanks to all the Mods for all their hard work - it is appreciated.

Congrats Kin on becoming one of the Modding Team.
Imagine this Forum if the mods had a few weeks off, lets say a month of no mods at all.
The place would probably self destruct,  spam filling every page, flaming wars, you get the picture.
Blonde poker needs mods and I think the mod team here is as good as it gets.

 ;thankyou;

Great choice folks.It' just a pity he always slags me off.Oh well at least i can always report him to errrrrrrrrrrm  himself.

Duly noted.

Mr One-Hit-Wonder it is.

Mr One-Hit-Wonder SIR, to you.

Keep hoping, I have played you and therefore lack the required respect.

You haven't played me in serious tournament.  You're always out before I get a chance to be on the same table as you.

Yes, you are quite lucky in that regard, I humbly look forward to meeting you at a future table.

If I live that long.  Looking forward to it.

Me too, and I promise NO sarcastic/joky comment in my forum signature when I knock you out, respecting you as a Mod and all.

Thought I'd step in here, before Christian goes for the ice pick through the head optoin.

Just to say the addition of Danny to the Mod team is an inspired choice. He brings a serious yet fun quility to the post,he's a good communicator,he fits in easily with new friends..........................

And he has absolutly no respect for my big blind...........................tush tush, will he never learn.

he mentioned something about 'implied odds'. I'm new to poker so I don't know what these terms mean....

Thats it then, the last big fish on here swims home to join the others in the moddy pond!!!!

The best thing is your names in blue, your now an everton supporter pmsl!!!!!

WD kinbo slice, all the breast in your new role.

KP

You may compromise his Modesty.

You've seen the pic of his wife too?

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  ;yippee; ;yippee; ;yippee; ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader; ;cupcake; ;cupcake; ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader; ;yippee; ;yippee;

FINALLY someone listened to me :-)

Congrats Dan ..........AND top of the mods in the team event.

Show them how its done and be nice to Tighty and give him a discount when he asks for lessons

congrats Kin...great choise guys!

;iagree;

of course, you know that tho, u pmd it to me!

Congrats Kinboshi.

;)

Best of luck Kinboshi.  :)up

I'm racking my brains to remember what bad s**t I've said about you in the secret room.

Best of luck Dan........

Can you ban all everton stuff.....

NO- he's one of us now!!

congrats boshi, can only be good for blonde to have person like yourself as a mod.

 ;charmaine;

just revisited this thread and i will be honest and say i was a bit surprised at my earlier post, i actually don't remember it but as i cannot and will not hide behind anything, i have a decision to make.
Do i just say i'm sorry and try to move on?
Do i try to justify what i said?
I'll say that i am sorry, i never knew the post existed till 5 minutes ago, obviously i was mentally incapacitated in some way because i don't think i have ever been so rude in my life, for that i appologise sincerely, i was pissed at the time but that really is no excuse.
Kin is an amiable chap and doubtless will work well with the existing folk, i wish him well tamworth is as rough as f**k so i refuse to upset his moment, he may well hunt me down.
Tom, i really feel you picked on me before without any reason whatsoever so all i will say is that you let me down, i did no wrong at all but que sera sera.
Congrats to Kin, i actually mean that!!!!!!!!!

I Posted, amongst other things.......

I'd like to think you regret saying the things you did to attack them so blatantly. But somehow, I doubt you will. Your Post said more about you, than the Mods.

I'm happy to be proven wrong Ian, & I apologise for suggesting otherwise. It was big of you to fess up, & I appreciate it. I do believe I had an obligation to defend my Team against the attack, & I did.

But.......I don't know what you are referring to when mentioning Tom - there is no fairer man on earth in my opinion, & I'm sure there is a misunderstanding.

I have no idea what you are talking about Ian. I can't believe you think I'm the sort of person who would pick on anyone for no reason, but I will say this. If you thought I "picked on you before" Why didn't you tell me at the time instead of waiting until later and then making some vague derogatory comment which included my fellow mods?

I will hold my hand up to anything I have ever done or said.

I went on to say a lot more in this reply, but then I deleted it. I realised that I have no further interest in you or your opinions.

I'm sorry that it's come to this, I really did consider you to be my friend.

Goodbye.

If only i'd said yes this time maybe this incident could have been avoided

lmao

it was sooooooooooooo close bolt, you missed out by a gnats foreskin.

KinFishy only pipped you for the gig because at least 3 other blondeites had seen him in real life .... if only you had come to a bash or Romford dogs ;)

I shouldn't have stopped at that kebab shop first to play the fruit machine

It was only 5p a go, i done 300 quid in half hour

Blonde is a special place. I am very proud to call it my poker "home" - and at any opportunity will tell others about its benefits, whether it be help in improving your game, live updates, or just a great forum community.

Sadly, in the last month or so, there has been a bit of a nasty rash developing on the underbelly. Thankfully, 99% of users will support The Management (for want of a better expression) in ensuring the irritating rash does not develop into a festering sore.

Fair play to IFM for apologising - it takes guts to do that, and hopefully it can be a catalyst for a sensible month or two on the forum as I'd hate to think current members, or guests thinking about signing up, may look to calmer waters for their poker fix.

Anyway, and belatedly, congrats to Kinboshi for his Mod Job. I first encountered him in Copenhagen back in January (I was updating for PokerStars and he was enjoying his APAT victory seat at the EPT) and he came across as a top bloke with a (shudder) good poker brain. Nothing I have seen since has changed my mind.



 

You want that $50 transferred directly into your PokerStars account? ;D

FYP.... 



Only Joking....

Sorry i was referring to my final warning, i pmed both you and Tikay at the time.
Obviously it still annoys me.

ian any warning came from the whole team and not just red or tikay

Well done fella...a great addition to the team!

YNWA
