Thanks to LuckyLloyd

As some of you may or may not know, Lloyd was removed by the admins as a moderator from all his forums following a dispute over a post he made in the soccer forum. Since his appeal has been rejected I think it appropriate to start this thread at this point thanking Lloyd for his poker forum moderation over the last while.

This should not be a thread asking specifically what happened, or giving out about anyone. Abuse will be deleted and is not going to help anyone. Needless to say however, I disagree strongly with the admin decision, but there is nothing I can do to have it reversed. This thread is just to thank Lloyd and let him know we appreciate his input and modding over the last year(ish), or at least I do.

These would be my exact sentiments.

Thanks a million Lloyd for all the help over the last year, you'll truly be missed around here.

Just lurk in the poker forum tbh, but Lloyd always seemed like a decent, clued-in player and a great mod.

Here's hoping he sticks around, or better, this mess gets sorted.

Was good to have Lloyd as a mod, but i just hope that he continues to post as normal once this mess is left behind because it's rare to find a post of his that isn't worth reading.

What?! He's like the best poster in the soccer forum. Big loss imo. Hopefully he sticks around to post. Cheers for the modding.

It's a thread called 'Appeal' in the helpdesk forum.

It's in Helpdesk.

Keep posting in Poker at least Lloyd.

Everyone back to pokertalk in protest !!

Whyno

I hope this doesnt mean Llyod is hanging up his posting boots. If it does *insert savage abuse here* to the powers that be.
Llyod is a top notch poster and always gave in dept analysis to everythin he responded and was also a funny fcuker at times to.
Its their loss imo and i hope he stays on here to post.

It's some effort to not post abuse directed at this decision tbh, but i'll confine this message to a big thanks to lloyd for all his contributions.

lucky-colm

what was the post that all the hullabulloo was about ?

did he insult someone?

did he insult someones team?

was it a racial remark?

don't see the big deal with any of these after all it is soccer we are talking about, probably one of the most verbably abusive sports on the planet.

anyhow
well played while you were around here lyod
hope you will stick around for a bit if not its quite understandable

tylerdurden94

Was totally oblivious to any goings on im sure he didn't tell somebody he would shove that smiley up their arse :pac:

While I cant seem to find why this happened, it seems a shame as LLoyd is a great mod and great poster

strewelpeter

Damn! Lloyd gone over some chavball nonsense I thought he might have been getting out in advance of further revelations in the furniture throwing at the poker table thread :pac:

Seriously though, this place cannot be the same without Lloyd, hopefully everything will be sorted and returned to normal very soon.

Further discussion with Lloyd on this matter would be a waste of time and electrons.

It's little remarks like this which sometimes make me wonder if the admins like inciting confrontation.

LLoyd was a unique type of moderator, his mere presence being enough to deter tomfoolery. Hopefully he'll still continue to post here.

Lloyd entering a debate normally put a full stop to the nonsense side. Not saying we haven't disagreed in the past and he's been wrong once or twice* but he is definitely one of the best posters in these parts (Soccer Forum Poster of the Year last year wasn't he?) and a massive loss both to the community and the moderation of this site.

He's the only Mod I've ever seen have a "thank you so much" thread started about him and considering he modded soccer that's not an achievement as much as it is a miracle.

I'm sure Lloyd knows how much I'd hate complimenting him if I could avoid it (sparse man with the old praise me) but he is definitely the sort of poster Boards.ie should be holding out as an example to others as the model of a poster.

Cheers for the modding round here the last while Lloyd. Good job.


*So much so that I can almost use the expression "once or twice" literally.

I would like to thank Kayroo for volunteering to fill Lloyd's shoes, well done.
