We need a mod in the uk and ireland section

[strangestranger]

Due to the spam and other threads that appear in the uk and ireland general discussions section, would it be possible to get some sort of moderation. I ain't meaning a mod like what seems to be the norm nowadays but just someone to clear out the deadwood a bit not necessarily interfere in any genuine posts.

It would cheer the chimp up no end I am sure it that is worth anything.

Churchill may be avalable. I would make a specific request for him or similar. Mousemonkey is a lot like him after a cup. Ko Ko Kachoo.

The moderation interface just isn't available on that section for some reason and it's been that way (and complained about by other mods) for years from what I have found out.

I'll mod the UK area for you .... <snicker>

Cranks up "Talkin bout my generation" ... reel LOUD !!

 

[randomizer]

I thought we were going to throw that section into the bonfire along with the Other. Guess it was forgotten given that few staff can see it through normal browsing.

 

[Reynod]

I can see it via .uk but not .com

Though under .com.au I can see heaps of booth babes at Computex ... or I would ... if we had an Aussie site.

Half our Aussies have left the site or died waiting ... just you and me left random ...

I'll speak with the European TH Community Manager about this. Added moderation never hurts.

It's a UK-only section. It's so full of spam as to be almost useless though. As far as I can remember it was on the to-delete list a while ago but that appears to have never eventuated.

 

[Reynod]

Yes and cleaning up some of the categories under the sections sounds great too ... if I recall a few users here were giving JP some good ideas in a thread a while back.

That discussion was very positive.

We need more positive stuff in the world at the present ...

Well, hopefully something will come of this. Would be a shame if it disappeared as it is the last safe haven this place has.

I thought you and mousemonkey lived in the UK?

I'm trying to get us an Off Topic Section here, it would be under the same moderation as the rest of the forum, but a place to talk about whatever, most moderators are for it and maybe it will happen eventually, IDK.

Besides this inconvenience, How've things been for you SS?

Crikey mate I'm from Oztralia. :lol:

mousemonkey is from the UK isn't he?

 

[randomizer]

Yea he is.

 

[4Ryan6]

Its unusual his moderating capabilities would be limited over there, but I guess that's nothing new to this software.

The fact that I see right through 'topics' and sometimes stray off, an 'Off Topic' section may work well for a Dr. Phil type poster like me. :lol: would like to see it. Not that I don't already know what the topic of discussion(s) are there. Actually I think like Dr. Joyce Brothers did in 1958. A discussion of my diet would be good for the off topic discussion. I could title it, "Eating at the keyboard: Ten important tips to loose weight while you browse."

 

[4Ryan6]

ROFL I'm eating at the keyboard right now! :lol:

I'm cleaning cranbeery sauce off mine right now. Could be chocolate syrup and cherry almond fudge ice cream. I'm tired of buying the little cans of compressed air. I discussed with my wife setting up my air compressor on the back patio and buying a 50ft hose for these type of things. How to stay trim and slim at the keyboard. Keyboard related exercise.

 

[4Ryan6]

:lol: Cranberry sauce? :lol: What did you have? A food fight? :lol:

 

[badge]

I haven't been to the store lately. It was a can of cranberry sauce left over from last Thanksgiving or a bowl of Purina Temptations. Beef flavor. I remember daring a friend to eat a can of liquidy, smelly cat food. He took a tablespoonful and downed it. I think we all had friends like that. Especially in the 60's.

mousemonkey is from the UK isn't he?

I am indeed, I'm pretty sure I have Mad(e) in the UK stamped on me somewhere. [:mousemonkey:4]

 

[4Ryan6]

When I was young my dog and I would sit on the back steps and share dog biscuits, they were pretty good actually!

I had to stop when I started hiking my leg to pee! :lol:

Its probably tattooed on your butt! :lol:

Uh Oh We're seriously Off Topic, Better get back on before before 4ryan6 closes the thread! :lol:
