PeteMorris Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 It's sort of odd that threads about individuals aren't allowed on the forum. I suppose whilst everyone is saying nice things it will remain. So really as a mouthpiece for debate it is going to be rather one sided. Well to be fair, you know as well as I do that the occasional thread about modding 'usually' descends into a troll fest with those that have a pathological dislike for mods in general to have a pop. Mod bashing is soon stamped upon, with good reason. It's a thankless task (most of the time), and it's just nice to hear some positivity for once. I'm sure if some kind soul started a thread extolling your virtues, you'd be quite pleased, I'm sure it would make you feel all warm an nice. But then if a whole hoard of people joined in saying what a horrible person you were, you'd be severely displeased. Mods are real people, who have lives, and difficulties and problems, just like anyone else on here. We volunteer our time, and rarely get thanks.

Electerrific Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yes you do seem to come across as an awfully good old stick, Pete. Some mods seem grumpy, partisan or plain rude. I am admin of a website elsewhere and am not, despite my superhuman efforts, as impartial or patient as you! A very personally difficult and thankless task! Will you run for el Presidente?

Behemoth Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I don't understand all this, "we do a thankless task" nonsense. People choose to mod a website, nobody puts a gun to their heads. If they then find out quite a lot of work is involved, they can either continue preferably without moaning or quit. What do they want thanking for? If all mods quit their roles tomorrow the forums wouldn't vanish, if anything they would probably become more interesting. As for un-modded sites that get spammed a lot, I personally like finding out about new places to buy viagra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he said was that he does a task for which he gets little or no thanks. I take it you are doing trying to get this thread closed. Please don't.

Behemoth Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 But it is a thankless task, you always upset someone with any decision made. So my question is, is Pete liked so much because he actually does nothing, sits on the fence, shuffles papers, upsets no one. Maybe Pete is good cop and rides the coat tales of bad cops. This definitely needs looking into further I feel. It may be a thankless task, but they signed up for it, what do they want thanking for? Thank you for deleting my thread. Thank you for deleting all my posts and wasting my time just because you personally happen to find something unacceptable or against your views. Thank you for banning me for no reason without warning. Thank you for passing judgement on what is and what isn't acceptable behaviour based on whether or not your partner shouted at you this morning. I could go on. Moderators aren't bad people of course, but I fail to see why they deserve praise. Literally anyone with a computer and fingers can mod a site. It isn't a talent, a vocation or anything of value, that's why they don't get paid. ---------- Post added 11-07-2013 at 18:40 ---------- The guy has not moaned.

I'm not trying to get the thread closed, but if it is, then you see my point. I'm totally on board the train of love for Pete Morris though, just because it appears to be fashionable.
