Is it not about time we had a female Moderator on board ?

[TightEnd]

ok Charmaine, well as a new man I'll listen thoughtfully to the representations whilst secretly thinking about football while you talk!!

If anyone wants to PM me specific examples where you think the mods are letting down the interests of the ladies on the forum, I'll be interested to hear. We may have something to learn.

[RED-DOG]

Sad that with so many woman using this forum they havent got a representative , if you know what i mean 

The mods represent the interests of all members of whatever sex. If a female member has an issue on the forum, this issue is always dealt with the same as any other issue.

If there is a lady who tikay thinks suitable then great, but if not then I don't think one should be appointed just so we can say we have a female mod.

We need more mods, I don't mind if they are male or female as long as they try their best.

Well i know i'm not the only one who feels a female mod is needed in the interest of this forum .
I'm not good with words or explaining myself  , but this place needs a womans touch .
I hope the woman will pop on to this thread and verify this for me  

OK, but joking aside, one of you needs to explain what you think a female mod would do that the other mods can't.

We are very strict with ourselves regarding what we get involved in. we don't see it as an "us and them" forum

Do you mean it needs cleaning?

I strongly suspect I'm going straight to hell.

[charmaine]

PM sent Tighty 

Of course Andrew , thats what i meant  lol

As for m3 !!!  popcorn indeed !!

[charmaine]

Can i also add i'm not thinking of myself as a mod , not a good idea as i'm married to M3 and could you imagine the things he would get up too !!! 

[Tonji]

Since Heid went, I'd hate to think of the state of the secret mod room, or has Kev had out his rubber gloves 

[TightEnd]

We got rid of the pastel shades and the flowers and brought in a pinball machine, a fridge for beer and a subscription to Television X.

I'd just PM'd tighty on this very issue before seeing this thread.

I had contacted him yesterday about an image I found offensive.  I gather I am not the only woman who found it so.  However, the mods did not find the image offensive, so would not ask for it to be removed.

The point here is that I think it would have taken a female to fully understand why the image could be deemed offensive (and that is the key point here - not what people personally find offensive, but considering what other's COULD find offensive).

The sooner we get a female mod the better in my opinion.

[Colchester Kev]

Perhaps you should put forward the Name of a female mod...

You (Claire) have said on numerous occasions that you dont want the gig, as has charmaine ..... and as have many other female members of the forum

so who is there that has the time, inclination and WANTS to do it ?


I agree with what others have written, in that the gender of a moderator is not important, it is the ability to deal with issues on their individual cases with an open mind, I think we manage that quite well already.

To select a mod based purely on their gender would be sexist in the extreme, and im sure that many members of blonde would find that unacceptable.

What image?

I think the point is there is no one suitable to be a mod who female except Heid.


Oh and Tighty gimme a call when the television X is hooked up!

[AndrewT]

What image?

There was one very offensive image posted recently.

How's the rash, Kev?

[Claw75]

I've never been offered it! (which I don't have a problem with, btw - I'm sure there are good reasons for that)
