    Hey.

    A good few months back to night clubs were using the Waterford Forum to advertise up coming events. I cant recall who, but one of the SMods ( I think ) removed the adverts and banned the accounts. Thing is, one of these clubs has started again and doesn't seem to understand what's wrong with what he is doing. He says he is "discussing" the events, but all he is doing is advertising the club and the events. There is no discussion..

    The Waterford moderator (flamegrill) is the mod for the south east but is never active on the Waterford forum. The post was reproted yesterday, but I haven't noticed him/her posting there in some time so I doubt he will get it. He is rarely needed anyway. Normally all is above order :)

    Any chance of someone taking a look?

    Cheers

    I dont mind who gets it, heck ill do it if im asked.

    Its a great forum and most people stick to the charter and use it fairly. Get the odd person who doesnt and I seem to come here to get it sorted when reporting the post doesnt work :P

    Its a big task for flamegrill to manage the whole of the South East, it should be split up into different mods for each county. (just my opinion)

    Hmm. I did ask for that to be looked into when there was a brief brouhaha that I had to step in on as s-mod. Will go bother the admins about it.

    I remember oldyellar saying she'd be willing to have a go at it.

    Sully's a good call for the job too.

    sully for mod; His name stands out to me for some reason, so I persume I've had some form of run in with him, yet he's not on my muppet list, therefore he passes the boston test for mod ship.

    A-ha! Did you get banned due to a bit of a tiff regarding skateboarding on the Quay and the RSC skatepark? I recall a big arguement.

    Ah that was probably the most hostile argument on that forum!

    But ya, flamegrill doesnt seem to respond to PMs/Reported Posts by the look. She/he was online yesterday (according to the profile). Strange!

    DeafVision: Sorry, but Boards requires a medical report stating your OK before they can remove a ban.

    Skaters rule and all that :P

    I'd like an admission too that tearing up the seats on the plaza with a skateboard is no different to doing it with a screwdriver. :rolleyes:


    OH NO! Can open.. Worms.. EVERYWHERE!! :p

    Oh god I agree vandalism is wrong and by skateboarding down there thats what im doing, all though im glad im not one of the many people that cover it in graffiti which imo is alot worse than what were doing! I think the plaza has died down in becoming "the place" in waterford for skating now! We more or less skate in carparks now I think everyone is bored of it! anyway.. Just skateboarding is something I love and something im not going to stop doing, ive been doing it the last 6 years! Thank god they finally have a proper concrete park down in the park which should be finished the end of this month :) It looks amazing if you havnt seen it already?

    Would agree the forum needs a mod.

    IIRC, I PM'd Flamegrill the last time that skateboarding incident came up, asking if he needed a moderator & don't remember getting a reply.

    Would agree Sully would be a good mod.

    Looks like its a straight up duel between Sully and Pighead for the honour of becoming Waterford Mod. To be honest, either of us would be brilliant choices so the lads and lassies who post in the forum are in a win win situation.

    Best of luck Sully.

    I have better campaign managers Pighead. You cant compete against my team. They could get George W re-elected anytime (even tho his term is, terribly, coming to an end </sarcasm>).. (there that good!) :D

    I suggest Sully you take this over to the moderators forum and get it sorted asap.

    I have my wonders about the potential "difficulties" in the Waterford forum with the thread giving out about you know who.

    You have my vote.. Just get the attention of the Admins, get the job, and get some common sense back into the forum.

    Hey,

    Ah dont be fooled by the HMod status - thats a different moderator forum (much quieter) so I dont have main access to bring it up. However, I have been told the admins are aware - just waiting for a decision. :)

    Ill be away for a week from today, so we will see how things are on my return. :)
