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

[Acidmouse]

Being a mod is a boring, thankless task. Let them do it!

[RED-DOG]

Oh please god let it be boring, go on, just for one week, pleeease!!

blonde has a female Mod in MrsC

although she doesnt get involved in the day to day removing of posts she still contributes to disscussions when she see a valid point we have missed

i really dont see the point in appointing a femal mod just for the sake of having a female mod onboard

i am a paraplegic but when representing my local disabilty forum i have to express the views of people with a wide variety of disabilties including the partially sighted and the hard of hearing, just because i dont have these disabilties doesnt mean i dont understand their point of view just like i can understand a womans point of view even though i am not and have never been female

[Indestructable]

Wow, you all have been busy today.  

As an aside I believe we do need to encourage more lady poker players to Blonde as they often have something different to add to the forum than the usual twaddle that some of us blokes come out with (inclduing me). If having a lady mod helps than I am all in favour of this. I guess it is down to those interested to make it known and let the powers that be decide.

I don't have a say in who the mods are and wouldn't want to have a say. i am however thankful for the work that they put in and have to say that they are the quickest mods out there.

Am I the only person that found it funny that you felt the need to point this out? Thanks for the clarification Iron 

With all the points raised so far, I still don't feel that a female mod is essential. I DO however think that the females on the forum would like one, to feel that our views were being represented. Mrs C cannot be classed as a mod though, surely! 6 days online for one of the oldest members on the site? hardly around much as a voice for us ladies (no offence implied)

i think the need for MODS is essential atleast 4 more whether any are female is down to whom are the best candidates not there gender as i have already said i might not be female but most of my best friends as are the best friends of atleast 2 of the mods (reddog and sherriff married there best friends i hope) and we are therefore aware of female issues

Stop using the secret room to slag people off then there wouldn't be the problem of partners seeing it. Simple.

LOL

you really believe thats what we do ??

And its not a "secret room"  it is another board where moderating issues are discussed and deabted before decosions are made by a collective of people all from differing backgrounds.

Yes it gets heated in there , and yes issues are debated strongly and yes we do fall out with each other from time to time ... but its healthy and it means that when we make a decision, we are of one voice.

we dont "slag people off" and i resent the fact that you say that.

[Ginger]

Being aware of the issues and understanding them 1st hand though I'm sure you realise, are two totally different things. If you read my post properly you would have noticed that I actually say that I don't think a female Mod is essential, one would  be most welcomed though!

Poppet, with the greatest respect..if some people were completely honest in their forum posts then our time would not be taken up with dealing with the consequences of that in deleting posts etc
