If a gif of someone sticking their hand down their mouth isn't pointless then I don't know what is .

Just fight back with pointless gifs of your own

[Martin]

Nothing against martin, but I don't think he should be given the permanent role again. He will most probably just resign a month down the line and reapply for normal mod, like history suggests. I'd promote @Nick;



opinions vary, maybe you're just overly strict.

I'm fine with that

I guess sometimes history can be complicated and stuff, and things affect people in different ways. In the majority of all the times I've resigned its been down to one thing, and I certainly don't feel good/proud about any of it. I can promise that it hasnt always been the case though, and I have managed to stay put before! News manager for over a year, I think the last time I was a super moderator it was for around half a year or so, agm for nearly a year. I guess things change and people move on and its not always about time, but sometimes there are deeper issues under the surface that people don't really understand and nobody will ever understand.

I'd happilly go back to being a normal mod right now if thats what Chris wants/feels is best, I was just trying to help

[Kardan]

Looking at past history isn't always the best thing to do. I was basically fired as RVM the first time round, and did a terrible job in the role, but I wasn't given a second chance the next time round and I personally think I did much better than the first time - what if management looked at past history, they would have just forgotten about me as an option straight away .

I think if there's a valid explanation, history shouldn't be looked upon... Many people that are currently staff have done worse things than resign in the past

[David]

You're a very stubborn user.

cheers

that's the part where opinions vary, see below.

I noticed a few of your pointless posting post reports the other day and wouldn't have taken further action myself. The ones I saw had a context to it that fit in with the thread discussion even if they did not add anything constructive to the issue

That's very true.

Yeah definitely .

cheers

So are you saying your gif wasn't pointless? I'm a bit confused, I know that opinions will vary, but I'm assuming Mike wasn't talking about the gif and was instead referring to my other post reports which looking back on, I guess they could be considered borderline.

[David]

That's very true.

Yeah definitely .

yes, i was replying to a chain of posts between myself and mike which i've previously been told is perfectly acceptable.
and assuming martin is talking about it below, he agreed before you started complaining about reports being ignored.

I've just had a quick look through the ones you reported, and I did find one that I have changed my opinion about, and have dealt with it accordingly, and I apologise for that!

I'm sure Martin wouldn't change his mind completely just because of my thread .

I actually sent that one to the forum manager to double check and get a 2nd opinion and he said it was pointless

I guess this is where the rule becomes very cloudy and different people see it in different lights

[Inseriousity.]

That's very true.

Yeah definitely .

I got a notification about them cos I was quoted in them so yeah I did mean them two. Admittedly, I understand how the gif could be seen as more pointless compared to the previous post but I still wouldn't have done anything. This is probably the time to admit though that I failed my moderator trial because I was too soft with everyone. I suppose I just find some of the minor issues not really that much of an issue.

[AgnesIO]

Don't see why any report takes long to deal with.

Aren't post reports pretty much the only jobs moderators have to do? :S
