Moderators

[Beadsage]

We have a lot of new members, that's good. This forum runs very, very, smoothly since we got rid of the industrial spammers. However, please be aware that moderators are here to make sure the forum is a nice place to play. We weren't always moderators, we have spent a lot of time here, and seen a lot come and go, we do this job because we believe in the forum, and will make short work of anybody who has a problem with that. The girls are quite diplomatic - I'm not. That's what I'm here for. To be awful to people when they overstep the mark, if you've been here a while you will know that. If you haven't - get used to it, I have no off button. :D

:o Never thought you were like that Peter............lol.:D

[wyattbean]

and I'd just like to say a big THANKYOU to all the moderators for making this a nice place to come and play....

LOL My biker man kicked a taxi drivers car last time we were out riding! He was up our rear end trying to overtake us illegally on sharp bends....so we (erm, I was only along for the ride you understand!) chased him round the side streets and booted his car.....and strangely enough, he wouldnt get out of it?!

I had one run over my foot as I was waiting in a queue.................ever seen a grown man sat on his wife's knee? :D He was trying to shut the drivers window and I was trying to rip his throat out! :sm:

[ethel&edna]

Ooh Peter. You've come over all masterful! This "roughty toughty" image is slightly at odds with someone who deals in beads ;0) he he he

[Beadsage]

That's the fun of it - my sister likes the idea of me being a 'gun toting seedbeader' :D

[ethel&edna]

:D rofl

What an image I now have in my mind.

[Beadsage]

I'm bumping this up again................and adding a bit. We do this for real - yes Pebbles, I do take it seriously - and we have seen a lot come and go, and we are still here. That is why we take on the responsibility of moderating this forum. 98% of the time a mod's decision is not subject to mitigation, if we get something wrong, fair enough, but if I remember rightly, I have only ever banned one person who was subsequently reinstated. He got banned later though. It's not worth PMing me if you get banned, live with it. I also get e mails from banned members, I'm happy with that as I have around 50 e mail addys I can spam them back with. As 0103media said - and it's his forum - learn how we work, and if you like it stay.....................if you don't it's your choice, at least you didn't get banned. :)

Peter,
Thank you for your efforts.
The forum would be boring without your posts, just be yourself. Our egos will survive hopefully.

[vInTaGe VioLeT]

well i feel very bruised and battered and i'm not normally a sensitive person :( also i'm not a sad teddybear but i couldn't find a non angry sad face.

[Beadsage]

Not 'arf as bruised and battered as we felt after the 'mum's mafia' hit the forum! Now get over it and join in.................don't sit in the corner with yer mates. :fencing:

You are not the first person whose joined the forum and ruffled a few feathers! Some of our members had shakey starts and absolutly love the place now. I'm sure you'll feel the same if you stick around.
You'll also grow to appreciate the modding style that keeps our forum working smoothly, friendly and none cliquey.
Now put that bottom lip away!:D

[craftyjan]

i hope i never upset you peter as i might have to commit suicide if i got banned as this is my lifeline to another world. well maybe not suicide but id be really sad, i have joined other forums as well now as ive caught the bug, but this one was my first and favourite as its not clichey ,everyone feels welcome to join in a post rather than feeling you are intruding into a little club. long may it continue in this way and all the moderators do a great job for us all, thankyou.
