I have no say in who becomes a moderator.

That is not my role here.  

and yet you seem to have nothing positive to say....

Merli, what do you feel your role is?

If you are so offended by Squizz, then maybe you should take him up on the offer of the poll.

From an above post...

You weren't chosen to be a moderator because "you were the best person for the job", you were chosen because you posted a lot and spent a lot of time browsing the forums.

surely someone who spends a lot of time browsing, is going to be one of the best people to do the job??

I have nothing positive to say? Did you even READ my first post? That was all aimed at a positive future of SAU

My role here is to browse the forums and post when I feel like it.

Unfortunately I was privvy to the rants of a few disgruntled moderators, so I thought I should say something before SAU fell apart. The aim of this thread was to get people to say what was bothering them about SAU and the way it was being run, so hopefully moderators could take an objective view, sit back and see if people have a valid point or not, and then hopefully make inroads to fixing any problems.

someone who spends a lot of time browsing, and is mature enough to make forum decisions, untainted by emotion, bias, grudges and personal vendettas? YES.

Most of the issues that seem to be arising in relation to 'forum issues' are people who have issues with others.

Personally, it's my belief that if you have a problem with someone, you should take it up with them personally instead of posting your feelings on a public forum.

I am another person who feels that there are 'too many cheifs', and by saying this, I am putting my own moderator status on the line.

Some moderators were 'assigned', others were added as moderators because they are responsible people, and can make a judgement call without having to defend themselves.

I don't think that the forum needs so many moderators, as there is a button on every post that allows posts to be reported.

As long as the reported posts are being taken care of, then thats all that matters.

I pretty much agree with everything you just said, except for the "too many cheifs" thing... I'm still undecided about that, as ideally, it shouldn't *really* matter how many moderators there were, as long as they were all mature and sensible. Of course this is but just a dream we call Utopia

Again, the aim of this thread wasn't to start culling moderators. Not from my perspective anyway...

:uh-huh:

[doxximus]

i dont think the 'to many chief' thing applies anyway because we all have the same amount of power so really it doesnt matter. atm i cant think of what else to say to make my statement sound better and more understanding because im sick and just woke up

True - we could have 1400 members and 1400 mods provided they all did their job correctly.

People need to start taking constructive feedback as that - not an insult. (me included).

[Guest Boxhead]

as always, i have to have my say..

firstly.. i think im a bit in melirs boat, on the text does not show emotion therefor what i/we say gets taken the wrong way..

2ndly, merli - your a rich bastard! thats why we hate you..(just kidding mate)

3rdly - your spot opn r31 chick.. if you have a problem it should be taken up with the person most..

4thly - yeah come on mods, this whole skating on thin ice only applys to me .. last check im the only one who plays ice hockey...

5thly - the only problem with mario that i have is.. that a) from what i hear, he dont build the car, he just pays the bill, and then secondly he dont drive teh car on teh track..

personally that to me is cheque book racing..

merli - as to you being rich, atleast you drive your damn car..

6thly - adrian, are you sure you want to lock c in?

ok we will take a brake, and be right back..

7thly - doxx, i dont have as much power as you guys but thats ok.. ill deal..

and finaly 8thly - nothing to see here... move along people..

[PranK]

Boxhead - your wrong.

Be careful Red. Your on thin ice Son. Make sure that smiley is clearly visible to all users...LOL:D

[cereal]

My feedback is that everyone should stop letting their personal feelings get in the way of this forum.

Everything's becoming far too serious here & there's some large egos getting in everyone's way.

This place is turning into SDU........or even worse........PF.

Stop all the moaning & get on with your lives.........IT'S ONLY A FORUM.

[PranK]

Dave - i agree.

[Nismo_Boy]

this sounds like some thing you would find on : performance forums:

I agree. As Donnie says. You guys need to come to atleast one westie cruise and you will see what SAU has been truly about.

Just being with friends with common interests and having a good time like we all have been doing.

NO egos and no attitudes and no grudges.

[tactic]

Its all about

love and understanding

[red900ss]

Amen! to what Minh and DON91E said! :uh-huh:

You guys have gotta come to a Northside meet. Nothing much happens but it's all good.
