    I have no need to pm you as I already put my question to you.

    I asked a legitimate question which you seem not to want to answer on the forum.

    You posted this morning that you were interested then several hours later deleted your post and posted a new one basically saying the same thing once again - I thought it odd as you already had made your intentions known.

    If you would rather answer it by pm then feel free to do so.

    If you insist. I put my name in around the 4th or 5th post in this thread, but deleted it a few minutes later because I thought I was being a bit hasty. Had a wee think about it and put my name back in when I came to the conclusion that I'd like to be considered for it after all.

    I'd like to put my name forward for future selection when mods look through this thread in maybe 6 months or a year. I need to build up my portfolio of posts first and become a very active member. At the moment I'm still a bit of a lurker but i've really enjoyed being part of the the World cup draft and hopefully I'll be considered down the line.

    This here is a man who tells his girlfriend to get on her bike when she asks him does he want to come to a BBQ on the beach, all because its near his pick in the World Cup Draft.

    A most definite mod in the making imo :D

    Someone just give it to Des, he clearly doesn't yet mod quite enough forums/fora!

    Being a moderator your never going to win a popularity contest. But if your passionate, if you have conviction, if you believe in what your moderating, the posters will sense that.

    Brilliant....

    No.

    Edit: Any further questions about every little thing I do that bothers you, feel free to PM me.

    you sound like a mod already so you do.

    Id be tempted to apply for this but I think you already have a large number of quality posters (and some a lil less suited to the job) who have put their names forward in this thread so will decline popping my name anywhere, although if this thread is to be considerd for future reference I would have interest but wont pimp myself out here as ive posted for almost a decade so any regs on here should know what im all about as should any regs to PW where ive modded for the best part of a year now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,951 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    I'll add my name


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,001 ✭✭✭recylingbin


    Reason it should be me:
    I won a european cup with Sheffield Wednesday in Champsionship Manager.*

    Des hasn't time to answer PMs, so probably best if it isn't him.





    *I wouldn't do it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,614 ✭✭✭The Sparrow


    I'll throw my name in. Don't post as much as I should but I do lurk a fair bit and I don't have any alliances/ grudges so would be impartial.

    Plus unemployment means I have plenty of time on my hands to read through posts.

    I think its time the Flah was given the "banhammer" tbh.

    My reasons:

    I'm pretty sure I'm the only applicant who has been involved in attempted takeover of a Premiership Club (having being foiled in a audacious to secure the ownership of Newcastle United in 2007, offering a used w*nk sock and a half eaten bag of Monster Munch).

    I can rule the bauld Desmond out of the running as he is a man of dishonour, owing me a crinkly fiver as he does having seen South Africa eliminated earlier today. PAY UP DES, OR RISK YOUR NAME BEING RUINED.

    I have a valuable insight into the mentality of the cleverest of trolls.

    I pledge to lock all Barcelona wankf*sts before your computer screen gets clouded by redout's jizzum. I pledge to ban the words "Lucas","Rafa" and "Muppet" from use in the Liverpool forum. Headshot will only be allowed post in the Chelsea thread for the remainder of the season. Seaneh is banned from posting in the Serie A thread, unless he owns up and admits AC Milan may not be perfect.

    I can also reveal I am currently in negotiations to bring SOTS and CHD back to the board under a joint username "Spiritofthetrophylesseighties."

    Eagle eye will be banned from the World Cup Draft for taking it WAY too seriously.
    Hand over the job lads, its a foregone conclusion tbh.

    PM me your bank details and you'll have your five whole euros forthwith.

    Alternatively, I'll be in Cark the weekend of the 9th and 10th July, in the vicinity of Turner's Cross on the evening of the 9th, and elsewhere in the city on the 10th, if you'll be about, our mutual friend is putting me up for the evening.

    For pure comedy alone it should be given to Flah :D

    My vote too, what won me over was his humbleness, modesty and no sign he would get drunk with power


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,100 ✭✭✭tommyhaas


    Not putting myself forward, but what about some sort of quiz for all suitable applicants on a thread. Could have questions on general football knowldge, first to reply wins sort of thing, aswell as opinonated questions. eg Ronnie Whelan is:

    A. Your man plays for Liverpool
    B. A spoofer Bill
    C. A credable pundit and former Liverpool player

    Would be a good way of seeing that everyone applying knows their football, and a few might get found out. Mods could then decide based on the answers. Would also be a good laugh for the rest of us anyway??

    Just because one has knowledge of football does not mean they would make a suitable mod for this forum.

    Yea of course, final decision would be still with the Mods, opionated questions (obviously unlike the one I posted 5 mins ago) mightn't have clear cut right/wrong answers, so still up to the Mods interpretation and down to them to make a decision on whose most suitable

    Few posters whose name i'd hoped to see in here missing. Anyways best of luck to whoever gets it.

    There was an incident about 18 months ago were myself and I think about 7/8 others were all banned over an incident in which there was a comment made in reference to a very well known footballing incident (involving an Irish player I think) and the mod who banned people had no knowledge of it and therefore didnt get it and pretty sure they admitted as much. Now in a situation like that it really did matter. There was a huge thread started on feedback over the incident. I would go along with what you said "Just because one has knowledge of football does not mean they would make a suitable mod for this forum" as in not everyone with knowledge is suitable but overall I certainly believe that you do need some interest and have some knowledge to avoid another incodent like the above.
