    **The below has been copied and pasted from the Self Defence, as I believe it rightfully belongs here, Let me know what ye think.**

    Maybe its just me, but it has come to my attention lately that niether Runfree or Repli really contribute to this forum much, at least I haven't seen em do so in awhile. Are they still modding in the back round without my knowledge or are they gone?

    If it is a case that they are gone, or simply no longert interested in modding the forum, I wish to nominate Colm O'Reilly as mod for this forum for the simple reason that he is well respected and lately appearing very popular on this forum.

    What do others think?

    Is there an actual problem that needs moderating or do you think someone else could bring the board to a higher level? If not, then no need to change mods.

    There doesn't appear to be anyone modding the board at all anymore, and I personally feel that Colm O'Reilly would bring the board to a higher level.

    My sentiment exactly and the reason for above request!

    Just to bump this again, the involvement of the current moderators seems to be non-existent. And as you should surely know by now Victor it's always preferable to have an active mod on a forum even if there aren't on-going issues with trouble makers even just for splitting threads out and keeping arguments in some way logical.

    I'd go with Musashi and Colm O' Reilly as two of the more active and knowledgeable members.

    .logic.

    Would strongly have to agree on that nomination! Both are regular poster to the forum, knowledgable in the filed of MA, and generally of sound mind, and contribute well, giving good advice at all times.

    However, at the end of the day, its really up to Admins. may I also suggest that ye keep a close eye on the thread in question, orginally posted by moi in the self defence/MA forum!

    A new years BUMP for this one.

    I recommend that the Admins or mods have a look at the forum, the aforementioned thread and please appoint some new moderators. I assume that board.ie policy is to have supervision on all forums and this forum has no moderation and therefore no supervision and no direction. A good moderator (or two) could help further develop a sense of community on the board and also sort out any spammers and trolls.

    Cheers,

    Colum

    Generally you do not have to be an expert or an active contributer to a forum to become a moderator. All you have to do is watch the forum and stop any muppets. Generally having an intrest in the subject helps (to stop you poking your eyes out with a rusty spoon). If they aren't being active then by all means replace them.

    By "this forum" you mean "MA" and by admins you mean "mods" right? Because you're not helping your case by getting stroppy, which is what it sounds like.

    I dont think Mear is getting stroppy. He meant that the MA forum needs new mods as you quite rightly said CuLT. :)

    Firstly, Mear, what has my name got to do with anything?
    Secondly, I admit I have been very busy lately with college and work and haven't had much time to moderate the board, but afaik there isn't a lot of muppetry on the board. I do watch over it when I have time though. I wouldn't oppose a new moderator in addition to Runfree and myself.

    Repli, welcome back, I thought you and Runfree had vanish off the face of the internet. LOL

    I'm sorry, I understand you can be busy with other things in the real world, but its quite evident that (and alot of us users are in agreement) you and runfree have not being keeping your part in the role as Mods, hence why I requested that ye be replaced, it was not meant as a personal attack.

    Anyway, My opinion still stands, if you wish to be replaced shout now. If you don't wish to be replaced, I'm sorry to say thought but the fact shows we (the majority users of the forum) think you should be.

    This is why I was of the opinion that we did not overly need a new mod. Moderators don't have to post regularly on their forums, just keep the muppetry etc to a minimum. There was no foolery on the MA/SD forum, if you exclude the normal "my sport is better than yours"

    BTW congrats to Colm on his new mod-ship.

    Was gonna post this to Cult but how and ever..

    Columok: Seemed to pick it up grand well done ;)

    Repli: Your name, again a jest, that u never participate in the MA forums. Repli/y .. sheesh.

    Thanks Cloud and congrats Colm
