    The forum has no charter, so it doesnt say what is and isnt allowed. Stick up a charter which states what is allowed/ not allowed them people might report problems.


    Why is it that the gambling forum is the only one without a mod who posts on it regularly? You were the only mod listed on the side.

    ecksor has been modding the forum since its inception.

    the forum doesnt NEED a charter.

    youre all big boys and girls. feel free to write up a charter if you want to and i would be happy to sticky it, but my advise is to take it to ecksor.

    and stop being so bloody aggressive.

    im still unsure if there is an actual issue or not.

    Well i started this thread after this.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055049950

    So its not just me. I dont think i am being agressive.

    P.S I'll have a 5er on that hagar. ;)

    well, i think you are being aggressive.

    and thats fine, i dont have an issue with there being a mod on that forum.
    in fact, i actively looked for one, but it is ecksors forum, and he is looking after it, so you will have to look for answers there.

    quite frankly, if there has been trouble in the forum, i dont know why there hasnt been any reported posts, and i dont know why ecksor hasnt done something about it.

    as cat mod, i was told to not harrass the admins over the lack of mod.

    no personal abuse.
    No dodgy links.
    No speaking of that promoter.

    Off you go.

    I didnt mean to be agressive. If Ecksor shot the idea down before and thinks its fine then that's fine. Thats all i needed to hear.

    Hey,


    Sorry for dragging up an old thread - BUT the gambling forum does need a mod - not to enforce rules or smack out ban's because this is not needed the Mod’s role would be to promote the thread and get regular views etc.

    The thread has loads of potential but there is a need for an active mod in my opinion.

    This is the mods role in a forum, to enforce the rules.

    This is the role of the users. How will making a user that posts there frequently a mod, increase the views a forum gets or promote the forum?

    I didn't say a user that posts regularly. I said someone who promotes the forum and the past time.

    Eg. Setting up weekly soccer/rugby/GAA/snooker/Golf etc etc threads with info on bets, favourites, good deals etc etc..

    Why is this so hard, there are tons of people that would like to be a mod, have and interest in the area and have the time to put the work in.

    I really don’t want to get into an argument, just a discussion please.

    When you said active mod, I thought you meant a mod who was active in the forum.

    Why does it have to be a mod that sets up these threads? Could a regular user not set them up instead?

    I'm not looking for an argument either.

    I feel, that on looking at a broad range of forums - the ones which are most active are the ones which have active mods, i think it will be good for boards and good for the gambling forum

    I'm very active on Sligo IT, r3nu4l is very active on bowling and both of those forums are really quiet. If the After Hours and Personal Issues mods stopped posting on their forums, the forums would not get less active.

    Just an aside but if the forum doesn't have a charter is there a default one?
