Mercury_Tilt's posts have been scrubbed from the earth. Literally nothing remains of him.

Not sure cd burner ever existed.

Yeah that's immediately who I thought of when I saw the thread title. I remember that person from a previous life here - Our Man In Havana. Had been a fairly low-profile, reasonable member/mod for years and just suddenly lost the plot. Posting stuff about how their grandfather or great grandfather would shoot catholics. It was ultra hardline loyalist loopiness. Extremely sectarian stuff - I think it all got deleted.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about him. It all seemed to come out of nowhere from what I could see.

Was this thread the start of it?

As a moderator I haven't always being the best behaved around the Louise O'Neill thread tittle.

As a former AH mod, I may or may not have encouraged dicking around with thread titles :pac:

The comment in that link about giving the poster their own forum - bubbles had his own forum.

The cd burner sale did happen, via the old for sale or wanted forum.

I vaguely remember some nazi imagery being posted by MT. Don't remember whether he was saying boards was run by nazis, or that he wanted to be a nazi or what. I thought he was funny.

There was an Ulsterman mod who let slip he wanted to return to a pre 1920s Ireland and ban Catholicism.

I remember him. He was a right character. Was a reader only back in those days myself.

I vaguely remember some scandal involving an AH mod a long time ago. I thought it had something to do with the horse racing forum but I was never clear on the details. Certainly he was banned anyway and I think a load of others were banned at the time too. It was all drama at the time.

I remember now it was scojones (previously sjones) and also fade2black I think. Whatever happened the two of them were banned all of a sudden having been high profile mods. No explanation given to users who cared but lots of mods alluding to knowing what happened. They went on about it so much while making a big show of not disclosing the reason that it drew more attention to it than just saying why and moving on.

I remember Terry (I think he was also something like julip at some stage). He used to post drunk threads and say some strange stuff in them but he was a really good mod for AH.

Four hundred and forty two to be precise (think that includes cmod and admins but could be wrong, so not that precise after all).

The treatment of the mods on this forum is frankly a disgrace. They deserve much more respect than they get. They work hard on here guarding these threads.

What can be done when there's a legitimate gripe about a post and it's made by a Mod on a forum they mod ?

just report it. i believe cmods and admins can see reported posts as well. modding a particular forum doesn't exclude that mod from abiding by the forum and site rules within the forum they mod.

I'm not sure they'd look at every reported post though. Is it help desk or feedback where you can complain about a forum or mod? (One or the other) Or maybe pm a cmod/admin to see what they'd say.

What I remember being funny at the time was we weren't allowed to talk about KPMG girl's rant or indeed her very existence, but the Gangnam Style remix by Friday Projx got a free pass because it was just so damn hilarious

Got demodded but I think he still posts over there. I like his passion

complaints are dealt with in help desk. certainly pming a cmod or admin before hand is a good option, at least you will get an idea if it's worth persuing a complaint or not.

Hellrazer

Never went rogue as such but if anyone remembers the April fools joke I pulled a few years back where I posted in the animal and pets forum that the admins had secret files on all users, that my fellow mods were all assholes and just generally gave out "secrets" of boards admins.All untrue BTW

I got site banned, demodded and everything until I pointed out the date.

Kept it going for hours though.

I was fairly drunk quite a lot of the time back then. Now too.

Yes. Quite a few times, and it was funny. Well, it was funny to me anyway.

I moderated on four different boards forum, there's not a whole lot you can do to screw the system.

You can lock, move or delete threads in your forum. Warn, infract or ban members in your forum too.

You can look through the moderators forum, but there's nothing really there.

You can check and see who's been reporting your posts before and after you're a moderator and that's about it.

Being a moderator is a pain in the hole on a quiet forum, I can't imagine what its like on AH.. Putting in hours of work for fvck all. Looking back now I must have been an idiot to work for free.

Then everything you do is questioned by some other idiot with another stupid user name, screw that.

You can't really go too rogue'ish.

I had fun doing it. Also, any time I went to a Boards event, people would buy me pints and shots.

Oh yes because she seems like such a fun person accusing white men of being toxic and potential rapists. What a catch!

She hates your typical white man so what other type of man would she actuallly consider dating in all honesty? Its either a so called white soy/woke bae or perhaps Tupac has come back from the dead?

Most of your 'modern' menginas are said to be partial to consuming soy products which is said to increase oestrogen levels and therefore make them more womanly at least by perception

It is proven though that women are advised not to consume soy products if they already have high levels of oestrogen
