Question, are they looking for new people to work? I could do a lot of other stuff while at the job, and not actually do the job itself.

I'ts a bit like a guarantee but with a scouse accent .Think you might have been spending to much time with Maximus ,his personality seems to be rubbing off on you Judge.

Wooly would make a superb Mod but it might distract him from the far more important duties of being the forums pimpmiester. I'd deffo vote for Ciggy ,Big Mick ,Dawson99 and the Judge .

i was just about to nominate you andy, but i would say bigmick, greenred, zara, cggy, and myself. Their are lots of the older members who could do the job.

Totally agree, including drummerphil

cheers matey,i also think you as our overseas rep would do a good job too.

I would thank you back but that is way too much back slapping. Another reason I'm a fan is that my name is Phillip so you really have to stuff up to lose my backing. 

you owe me kopite for that special night we had

I would have nominated you but I've seen you edit Quotes in your posts. Imagine if you actually edit the replies. There would be a line-up to rip your throat out. 

P.S. See if you spot the eit in the quote. 

P.P. S. Jmac just wanna say I think I speak for all the rational members when I say you guys have a tough job. Its one of those things that if you do it well noone notices.

All joking aside, it can be hard work this job.  You don't see the amount of PM's I send and have to reply to every day. 

I spend a lot of time on here during my 9 - 5 working day just leaving the forum on in the background while I do my work (usually playing Mini Pool and drinking coffee) and once I have read up on what's been posted, it's quite easy to monitor the place every five minutes or so because you just refresh the New Posts page.  If someone has made a bad/racist post/thread, or a repeat thread when there is already an active topic of a similar subject, I'm on it in a flash.  It's not rocket science.

The hardest part of this job is when it blows up sometimes, with members in-fighting.  Last year a couple of members were at each others throats regularly where we have to step in and dilute the anger for the good of the forum; similarly there are issues going on at the moment with one or two members where it may seem the subject is being completely ignored by the moderators.  None of the public members know whether or not the flare-ups are being dealt with because we do it all by PM.  I probably send more PMs than post, if I'm being honest.

During the build up to the European Cup final last May, there was an absolute invasion of these boards by fans of other clubs from last seasons "Last 16" who had applied through the UEFA ballot and had been lucky to get tickets for the Ataturk.  When their sides were eliminated (Juventus for instance) their fans were logging on here and asking for hundreds of pounds for these tickets, trying to make a quick buck at the expense of Liverpool fans who were desperate to go to Istanbul.  You were having to do this all day, looking out for these rip-off merchants, editing or at worst deleting their posts.  Not easy.

Similarly, I remember one member disagreeing with me over a thread I edited.  A Turkish fan logged on and started typing hatred about how he was going to take a knife to Taksim Square that night and stab random Liverpool fans, the ACTUAL evening of the final.  I just edited it immediately and a member complained about censorship.  It was a busy day on the boards.

That's fair enough, by all means if you disagree with anything we do, let us know.  We won't get it right all of the time, but don't think we don't do our best for this place because we do.  My personal feelings on whether we need more mods?

I really don't think we do.  I can certainly think of candidates for the position.  There are a number on here who I think could do the job, probably people with far greater diplomacy than me as well.  I know I can be a hothead, when calmness is needed.

But we do this for free, and ultimately, the reason why I don't stand for the usual repeat piss takers, is because they are not moderating themselves.  Why make my job harder than it has to be when I do this voluntarily?  I won't stand for that.  By piss takers, I don’t mean members who’s opinion I disagree with.  Everyone is entitled to their opinon.  What I mean are members like this.  Here is a quote for you from one of Hustler’s many ID’s.  Hustler has been warned more than a dozen times he is not welcome anymore to post on here. 

I dont give a monkey's really, literally, i wanna voice my views and have 1 million screenames and emails lined up.
SO ban me all you like, 12 months from now I'll be on Luis Garcia 1825. etc etc. know what I mean.?

One of the first things you learn when you are a moderator on a forum such as this is “Less Is More”.  Why do more just because of some internet nerds?  Not worth anybody’s time and effort is it?  Especially not mine.

People have said it numerous times already in this topic but at the end of the day, people should be mature enough to self-moderate themselves.  It's not that difficult is it?  The moderators should only be called upon when necessary and I think that the four of us at the moment work well together for now without upsetting the balance.

Any comments let me know.

Excuses excuses!!
