LMAO :grin: Thanks for your kind words and encouragement, everybody. As you say, it's often a thankless task, but let's hope I won't have to intervene very often (ce n'est pas mon style) :smiley:

As for perks, senior management here has agreed to reimburse my GTI in lieu of a salary, and I got the job in the first place by shamelessly offering 6 weeks' annual use of my villa in the south of France :cool:

Can't see what we need a moderator for anyways!! It's all lighthearted banter on these pages.  Surely we don't need someone to smack our wrists for off the cuff comments.

That aside good luck to the Frog probably gonna need it.

P.S. can you keep schrocco out of our forum? Please

Lol, don't panic. We have managed perfectly well without a Mod for the last few months, so I don't intend doing much. I just couldn't resist the offer of a free GTI :smiley:

Can't wait to try out some of the new buttons, though. In addition to Quote and Modify, I now also get:

- Merge
- Delete
- Lock
- Send mild electric shock
- Paralyse
- Assassinate

:laugh:

Press wisely  :wink:
Title: Re: Welcome to our newly crowned moderator
Post by: howlingmoon on 11 October 2009, 17:52
hmmmm assassinate... that must be the coolest button you have... but I think if you have an orgasmic button, that would be even better? You could grant it to forum members who posted excellent and particularly helpful posts... Downside, you might pressing it more often and posting to yourself... ha ha ha gives a whole new meaning to playing with yourself... ahem...

Lol, only our Dutch friends could come up with an idea like that :grin: Quite a nice idea, though. I've been on other forums where members award each other bonus points for good posts.

Well, for example Remove says 'You are not allowed to remove the first post in a topic, please contact your Moderator'. Any advice?

thats because if you want to remove topic you use the remove topic button which is located at the bottom of the page in the left hand corner of the screen

You can remove posts within the topic but never the first post as it starts the topic if you see what i mean

The main ones are located in the bottom left hand corner :afro:

Move Topic, Remove Topic, Lock Topic, Set Topic Sticky & Merge Topics  :wink:

Have been on holiday and I seem to have missed all the fun.
Firstly: I would like to say well done on volunteering to be a moderator (It was about time we had one.)

Secondly: You have mentioned before how you like your scenery, so here are a couple of pics for you.

Like the alloys on this.

Or, as the case has been before: "alter someone else's post and make yourself look like a tw@t" button.... :lipsrsealed:

Edit: but of course the Frog would never do that.

Title: Re: Welcome to our newly crowned moderator
Post by: Saint Steve on 01 November 2009, 16:13
He is no longer listed as Forum Admin in the sections page.

He was listed origonally but has since been removed.

His last post before he vanished

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=132454.msg1188242#msg1188242

Perhaps a clue to why he's had enough perhaps.

Now I see where you're coming from. I've been away a few days so a little behind on the forum goings on, and might have missed that nugget anyway as I avoid threads containing certain members' posts these days.
I'm really surprised the mk6 bit of the 'other forum' has never taken off. Then again if it did I guess you'd still get a certain element in there.

Maybe it was his crowning statement:

"Arguing on the Internet is like being in the Special Olympics - even if you win, you're still a retard"

Maybe true but not the ideal thing to write!!

Just a guess.
