Topic: Global Moderators

[Admin aka Dan]

All,

We have a couple of new global moderators, I will be adding more (and if you have volunteered and not been added - please don't be offended!).

Please show your support, and make all our lives as easy as they have been in the past.

Thanks

Dan

I can see that ceres is now a mod as she is now looking very blue :)

Good luck ceres you may need it LOL

[betula]

Dan who is the other moderator please?

[rosebud]

I saw "Impressive Marrow" online this morning too...  :-*

Well I have had a trawl through the members list and it appears to be Sam Louise.

I will be honest about this.

Sam Louise is someone I do not get along with.She is part of a small group of people with who I have had problems with in the past.

Just so that is out for everyone to know.

Oooh, I think I've been told to shut up by her too... I'm sure she'll be professional though!

Hey ho, it's changing round here anyway and I suspect it has to what with certain people who do their best to start an argument at every opportunity... You fight your corner & that's why I like you but you also listen and discuss unlike some of the recent aggression that we've seen from 2 people in particular.

[betula]

If it was as simple as being told to shut up ollie I would not have bothered to submit my post.

I just want to make SURE I am fairly moderated. :)

[grawrc]

Oh dear Ollie! I rather suspect that that might be red flag to the bull(s)! :( :o :o

[rosebud]

Here we go again. Same old same old.
It cannot be as simple as let us all be pleased & enjoy this site can it.

I can't speak for SamLouise but I don't see anything changing around here just because we have some additional mods  There have been a couple of fairly unpleasant situations recently that needed a quick response but Dan has a life (I know, hard to imagine life other than A4A  ;) ) and can't possibly be here 24/7.  We can provide a bit more cover so that if anything like those come up again, they'll get dealt with quickly.

I'm sure there will still be debates and that some of them will get heated.  But mostly they run their course and fizzle out or people kiss and make up or stomp off in a huff.  It's very rare that Dan has to step in and I don't expect that to change.

Anyway, be gentle with us, folks!

[betula]

Well as Sam Louise appears to be your daughter Rosebud I would hardly expect an unbiased reaction from you :)

[OllieC]

In my excitement, I forgot to say...

Thank you to the new mods for taking on the role, thankless as it often is. Good to know that there are a couple more people to stamp out fires when needed.

Something has to change here, before all the good people get fed up & leave. I'm going to start complaining AFTER you screw it up.

[grawrc]

Ceres and SamLouise seem like good choices to me. Both very moderate which works if you are a moderator. ::) ::)
Good luck you two!

[SamLouise]

Just quickly as I'm typing from work and I really shouldn't be!  Have exchanged PMs with Dan but wanted to stick my head in and say thanks for the GL wishes and I will try my best to do what's wanted/needed on A4A :)  

My husband and I are off on an emergency trip to Devon after work today as the M-I-L fell on the stairs and fractured a vertebrae at the beginning of the week.  That in itself is bad enough but she's also in the early stages of Altzheimers and apparently isn't doing too well in hospital! :(

Anyway, if things go belly up on here over the weekend, please don't get mad at any lack of action from me - I won't be around! :)

Congratulations to Ceres also :)

[rosebud]

 Ceres, that was a nice first speech :-* ;D ;D ;D.
I hope Dan, can relax a bit more now.

Good luck to you both.  We know you will both be very good at your moderating.
Have a nice weekend both of you. ;D

[betula]

We will see  >:(

[carbonel11]

We will see  >:(

Betula checked the old posts , could find Ollie's little disagreement but not yours. May I ask what happened as I would have thought the two of you would get on well checking the general tone of sam louises posts? 
Tell me to butt out if I'm being to nosey ? :)

[flowerofshona2007]

Congratulations to our new moderators  :D

I will have been on this forum for four years come April and I concur with the above statement things have always had a way of sorting themselves out.

Question  ???  Does this mean I have to do things in moderation now? ::)

Big Brother is watching ( or should that be sister?)

Seriously though, I would like to say;  good luck to our new moderators and hope that  their services are not called upon very often!
