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

[Poppet7]

Claire would make a very good moderator, at least she'd be able to sort the boys out!

[Colchester Kev]

What image?

There was one very offensive image posted recently.

How's the rash, Kev?

LOL well the good news is that it has left my face and upper body, and my hands are clear ... the bad news is that my arse is covered and so are my legs. but i shant be posting pics

[Eck]

It would certainly be worse news if your arse wasn't covered.

You (Claire) have said on numerous occasions that you dont want the gig,

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

Perhaps the reason for you never being offered it, is that you have said many times that you wouldnt take it even if you were offered it.

it could also be that perhaps those in charge feel you might not make a good mod....

when?  I'm mentioned in passing to people once or twice (certainly not many or numerous times and not on the forum, ever, as far as  I recall), and probably after a few drinks, that I wouldn't fancy the job the mods have to do, but that's always been in passing when there's not actually been any mod vacancies on the go.  I think that's a very different scenario to actually making a considered decision based on a real possibility.

I've never put myself forward because, as I said, I am sure there are good reasons that I've not been approached (which I can kind of work out for myself), and I wouldn't want to put anyone in the position of having to explain them to me.

What are the criteria that one needs to fulfill in order to become a mod?

I dont want to be a mod, but very curious.


And are mods looking for someone new anyway?

Here's the first challenge of the selection process.

I find it extremely sexist to suggest that only women would understand how something could be upsetting.

[thetank]

Lots of mods have wobbily boobies.

Wasnt this when Sheriff and Rod got involved?

[Royal Flush]

How many of the mods are black?

apologies Rod - I take that back.  I shouldn't have made a broad sweeping generalisation.  In this particular case none of the mods (all men) found the image offensive, but the other women I spoke to about it did.  My observation was based on that very limited sample.

[Rod Paradise]

I don't think it's offensive, distasteful, I'll give you, but we're not here to be the taste police (if we were most of Kev's shirts & Tikay's hairdo would be banned).

While all blondeites have a duty to not offend others gratuitously, we also have a duty to not be too easilly offended on a site for adults. Ban one avatar for being distasteful & a load could easilly be pointed out as upsetting to others. There is also an option in the user profile section to not show avatars.
