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

[byronkincaid]

under the data protection act can we send blonde a tenner and find out what is written about us in the secret room?

It's gonna cost you more than a tenner to view everything we have written about you. 

Nah don't wanna see it mate. My head would get too big with all the compliments:D

We graded byron just above Mark S in the "difficulty" column, but Flushy was rated margianlly below.

We are going to add a new column for females.

Hope that helps

Nooooooooo you might see the thread entitled Byron is a *&$*&* %£**!$ where i berate and abuse you for 300 words for losing in the heads up comp when i tipped you to win

It's impossible to cater for every single view or perspective, if we did that, we'd have a mod for almost every member because so many of us have differing opinions on what is right and what is wrong. Mods are selected based on their ability as a moderator, not simply because they are female and so will be more receptive to female views. I feel to acquire someone for the latter alone would be irresponsible. Should we hire someone who is 70 so he/she can be receptive to pensioner's views, should we hire someone who is Catholic so he/she can be receptive to Catholic views, should we hire someone that it is Indian so he/she can be receptive to Indian views? Not everyone can be represented. However, if we find a female member who we feel can be a good moderator, regardless of their gender, then I'm sure they'll be brought aboard. If they're female, then that's a bonus as it will add diversity to the moderating team, but I feel it should be considered solely as a bonus rather than a necessity.

taking up flushies point about the discrimination element, i dont see why having a partner who is a blonde should deter the woman from becoming a mod.

i think charmaine would be an excellent choice. everyone respects her. she is never nasty to anyone and diffuses situations left right and centre. she said she would be interesed and id defy anyone to say she wouldnt give blonde respect and do a professional job!!

i hope her application pack is in the post

It would be impossible to reach a bespoke system, one size fits all is the only possible solution. IMO things can tend to be overly sensitive towards certain things, which may or may not be right. I think majority rules minus the obviously offencive would be sufficient.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED then

But seriously, I think this board need more fish moderating it. Not women. Where do I send my CV?

And talking about offensive material, this icon offends me deeply, can we do something about it?

[charmaine]

yea , give it a good  lol

Although we dont seek or want to be seen as elitist and superior just because we are mods, we have a duty and an obligation to make sure that what is discussed on the mods board stays on the mods board.  Now in Janes case, & Charmaines they both openly admit to not being able to guarantee 100% that any info on said boards would stay confidential, due to shared computers and the fact that their partners are also members of the forum... This is neither a slur or any misstrust intended to either member or their partners, It is just a fact that it would cause problems, and could lead to things not being discussed and worked out properly if people couldnt speak their minds for the fear that their comments would be seen by people who arent meant to see them.

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

[madasahatstand]

ive never been asked either, or am i too much of a liability? charmaine just said she'd like to do it. i support that so is the application pack in the post yet beacuse it strikes me theres no recruitment process in place?
how were the other mods recruited out of interest?

[charmaine]

I would ,but wouldnt trust Paul   come on girls you know what men are like   they bitch more than woman too

If Charmaine or Jane were mods then the mods would have to find somewhere else to slap myself and Paul off! That's the problem

Why do you think you should be asked out of interest? Do you think you would make a good mod?

It's like joining MI5 - you have to respond to cryptic classfied ads in The Times.

They made the mistake of mentioning pies in one ad...
