hhhhmmmmmmmm!
Alex,
Don't see why you need to mod in addition to me and RB already doing it. If a board needs a mod, it's the Y, not the V, cause both RB and me are already pretty active.
I see what you're saying about a non-SQUAD member becoming a mod, but with all due respect, what are you going to do that's going to make the V better? I let everyone say what they want and I'm cool with EVERYONE who posts in the V, via PM. I don't mind you're becoming mod, AS LONG AS THERE IS NO CONFLICT.
The last thing I want is for you to unsticky the threads I've pinned or delete or merge posts/threads that YOU don't think is fair or suitable. If you say that you aren't going to, then what is the point of your becoming mod? I don't mean to sound pissed off or anything, but I do think that it'll become a case of 'too many cooks spoiling the broth'. I have no wish to be PMing you back and forth, arguing about why a post should stay or get deleted.
If someone who is anti-SQUAD wants a sticky or two, all they have to do is ask. You yourself know this. RB and me turned this whole board around 180 degrees since we took it over. It was the least used board. Now it's become the third most active one in Getbig. There's only been 3 'report to mod' complaints so far. Even guys like Bigmc, who do nothing but trash me and the SQUAD, acknowledge that RB and I are doing a good job. So, I just don't see what the point is of a third mod.
I think you should talk to Ron about becoming the mod for the Y. CQ isn't really getting involved and that board is going to sh*t, thanks in large due to BSB and Bald driving everyone away in the last few months. That's a board that needs help NOT the V. If you start modding the V and start deleting say BerzerkFury's posts and what not, it's basically going to be a case of you destroying all the work RB and me have put in the last 3 months.
Everyone is free to post in the V and if you look at it currently, there are equal number of threads and posts made by people who are 'anti-SQUAD' as there are people in the SQUAD. The SQUAD only has me, RB, BigC, Sarcasm and BerzerkFury posting on a regular basis. All the others, such as Man of Steel, ShowStoppa, SuperStar, Dr Kaje etc barely post there. We, if anything, are outnumbered. So, think about this. I think you should volunteer to mod the Y, instead of the V, which is just not going to be a good thing - it's cool that we're cool with each other, but I see a power trip in the future ruining the fun for everyone. It just won't look good if the mods start fighting / arguing with each other.
One last thing - very few people, probably under 10 or so know who's in the SQUAD and who's not. So, if you become mod, it's not exactly going to be a case of tons of people suddenly flocking over just because they suddenly realise that a non-SQUAD member is now a mod. No one fears the SQUAD in anyway - look at all the insults we get. So, nothings going to change if you take over. If you want me to be honest, I just think that you should take over the Y and give it your best shot. I'll tell you what - take over the Y, see if you can turn it around and if you PROVE yourself, then take over Stella's position. That's just my suggestion.
Let me know how you feel
