How to apply to be a Mod

That's understandable, abruptly deleting posts without explanation on a popular thread when a long-term poster unexpectedly closed his account. And in spite of numerous queries shutting down that thread also. The craic is mighty lads.

One of them banned the one with the history of using the internet as a tool for abuse so, that was pretty funny, in fairness.

I like Buford and Rippetoe. Those are men you could drink about 8 beers with.

Don't post in this thread again.

Why not? For expressing my opinion?

questioning mod actions on thread? that's a no-no

It wasn’t even that. There were “clarifications” sought on what is permissible on the site.

In this instance, someone claimed something that another poster contradicted by “linking” to the original poster’s post history.

This post, possibly along with others, was then deleted incredibly quickly. No reason was given.

People then “queried” as you why the post(s) had been removed and, if possibly, it was in breach of the forum “rules” to, directly, link to a member’s post history to “catch them out” in a, possible, fib.

The thread was then “locked”, no explanation or, indeed, clarification was provided.

It really was, incredibly, strange.

Particularly intriguing when the outed poster was fond of linking older posts to catch other posters out.

Do you reckon he knows the boys from Distilled Media Group Limited as well?

Are we even allowed mention his name? Feck it, I'm doing it anyway.


I heard if you say Srameen three times while looking in a mirror then all your posts get deleted from Boards.ie

I’ve over 100 posts now and am interested in becoming a Mod. Does anyone know the best course of action to take? Do I contact an admin or even a boards.ie employee?
Many thanks

As a rocker myself, it's my duty and responsibility to let you know that if you become a mod I'll have to fight you.

Can you at least tell us if it's against the rules to link another post to catch someone out?

If you say Wibbs three times while looking in a mirror Wibbs himself will appear and steal your watch.


If you say Guy Person three times while looking in a mirror then you are a very sad individual.

Be pro Fine Gael or keep your opinions to yourself. You won't get by on good looks alone.

Aggressively arguing with another poster is a sure way to get taken off a wannabe Mod list.

A few posts have been deleted that were heading down that road.

If I was a mod I'd ban those who were trigger happy with the 'report post' key

Good job I have no "ambition", eh!

Is this the kind of modding we can expect now though, Ted? Future-seeing or preventative-modding, as I have just named it. Where the mod can sense the possibility of aggression and bat it away because, and I'm assuming this part, someone got herself into hysterics over something she doesn't understand.

Sorry, don't the moderators on this website get paid to do it? People are pretending to be the internet police as a hobby?

Preventive is trying to stop something happening- to try and stop thread derailing.

And there was no need to get another dig in.

Any more discussion, please PM me

You mean the pointless thread started by the banned guy as a joke? To stop that derailing? Long as we're clear.

No further discussion necessary, I know where I stand now, cheers!

You need to know a lot about a subject, like pencil sharpeners, or poaching an egg, or who came second for best actress in the Oscars the most times.

I think you need a scooter with loads of mirrors and a parka first, probably a sharp suit as well.

You need to assert yourself first, show them you can do the job

Well all mods are transponsters. So step one, become a transponster.
