i have voted the same as i did on the thread that the rubbish mod rubbished.
Ah stop whinging.......:cool:
What i find weird is pat has made no comment regards the peoples concerns about the 2 mods noone wants they have both showed themselves up & embaresed themselves. They are called community mods & the community doesnt want them, only one of our mods here is respected & the other 2 are ego maniacs. Wtf for all his faults had the good sense to step down & that is to be commended as he showed himself to be the better man unlike ricy & qph boy...........
Still no comment from Patricia. She is online now and still she has not commented, she has taken the time to edit your signature but cant be bothered to respond to this thread or to the several pm's sent to her on this subject.
But I see Ric's signature is left alone... one rule for them and another for us....
I am logged is online because I am at work trying to oversee the development of some new features that will hopefully be ready later today. However I have 20+ staff here today that I'm trying to organise, so I'm not reading all the threads here today. I will come back to this thread tonight and respond. Sorry, but I gotta do the other work for today, as else it won't get finished today. Pat x
I eagerly awit your response pat:D
My new sig is better anyways:D:D
You guys are a hoot, you really are.
6, yes just 6 votes!!!!! FFS!
Yep, 6 people actually give a crap about this stuff.
So really its 6 against 3
and youve been going on about it for weeks now
God you guys are funny, (but at least Ric gets people to post pictures of fannys and bums)
And why in hell is this crap a sticky?
Honestly, you suggest that something useful like a guide for first timers is made a sticky, cos thats where they all post asking the same question, and that gets ignored for a sticky about 3 mods and their 6 antagonists
As snoopy would say "good grief"!
good idea rory. If you post a guide for beginners then sure we,ll put it as a sticky, sure why not? i,ll edit the main points to your liking as improvements are suggested. Moding is responding to the members critisisms, hence the value of this thread as a sticky. Cheers bbj
Still not finished improvements, so will be going on into tomorrow. I'm afraid they are not improvements that will make much difference to clients, they are more for escorts, so not much to look forward to for you. What terrible twosome? My beloved Ric and QPH?
On a serious level, if they have been so terrible please tell me how, because I'm not seeing it.
Yes, I'll do that this weekend if it is the last thing I do.
Yeah, I need to stop putting 18 hour days in here 7 days a week. It is only making me grumpy :eek:
OK Epsilon Darling,
I have already explained the sig stays up untill sunday at midnight because I said it will and I keep my word. I also have apologized for my outburst to NB3.
I was in the wrong and I lost my impartiallity and made a fool of myself. I have already stated this to NB3 and my sig states this too. I am only Human and it is the only improper outburst I've ever made. Please stop insisting on causing harm and kicking me while I'm down. That behaviour is counter productive.
Now I think it is time to end this silly anti-mod bashing. It is time to return to the business at hand. This fued is over so please stop.
I am respectfully asking to all those concerned to please stop this negativity. It isn't helping the boards to heal.

There already is one Escort Ireland - Escort Business - The Eejit's Guide to Escorts - Irish Independent Escorts, Irish Touring Escorts, Irish Escort Agencies Its hidden away
Perhaps it just needs a rename to something like "What to know about booking an escort"?
Those blinkers must be get awful itchy if you wear them all the time Pat!
Lets see, I think they must be referring to.
1/ Moderators being "human" and starting to delete posts willy nilly
2/ Moderators being "human" and posting warning messages to escorts about someone in their signature
3/ Moderators being "human" and starting to edit posts for spelling
4/ Moderators being "human" and starting to generally go on a power trip because "they can"
And heres me thinking that moderators should be seen and not heard.
And by that I mean, moderating should only become visible when we have a Liz or Bigpaws or QPH situation where something has clearly got out of hand and frequently broken rules.
And NOT because someone says something a Mod doesnt like or criticsing the Mods, so lets move\delete the thread
But hey, if you actually published some Mod guidelines, maybe everyone would be clear
:D
thats a great basis to start with. i,ve also noticed a common and sensible question by beginners is about the legal clarification, so i,d add a couple of paragraphs clarifying the legal ins and outs. also some advice about sim card use and security would be helpful tooo
I can see what posts are deleted and I don't see any of the mods going on deleting sprees. Regards abusive messages in sigs, yes I removed one. Editing posts for spelling is a bit unneccesary if it is being done perhaps, but it isn't malicious. Power trips I don't see either. I know West went a bit crazy, he's a great guy, but obviously modding wasn't for him, but really I don't see where any of the current mods are going wrong.
I already know Ric lost his temper with NB3 the other day. He admitted that and said he knew he did it. Are we going to crusify mods for occassional small errors of judgement like this, or are we going to give them a break? I think they certainly deserve a break, especially when they are doing so good 99% of the time, and bear in mind it is not easy being a mod here.
Isn't this just whining from a minority? Aren't the majority of people pleased we now have a few extra pairs of eyes here, watching, so when things get out of hand like personal info gets posted, it gets taken down even quicker?
Well, I tell you what I will do that next week so.
have to take issue with you there Pat.
Basically what you are saying is, that 2 out of 4, or 50% of your mods "went a little crazy"
People are supposed to look to mods for guidance. And when they have a "small error of judgement", it sends out a very poor message and then shit stirring starts up again
Now, you yourself are human (I think!) but you never ever lost it like they did, nor did any of your other "official" mods.
And how are they being judged on being good?
The biggest disruption was Liz and since being banned, they has been no need to do very much really, as QPH says "this modding larks easy"
And it is if you clamp down quickly on trouble
If you are working 12 hours a day maintaining a website, something must be wrong!
:D
No pat wer lookin at his recent behaviour as a mod actualy which would be the matter at hand here & as regards your little buddy qph wat wer you thinking he was the worst choice down to his previous behaviour, by your logic give it a month or so & liz will be a mod ffs:rolleyes:
I don't think there should be any mods, full stop. Even so, I don't have a particular problem with BBJ or Ric, but I vehemently disagree with QPH's selection (even though he and I have never had any personal disagreements).
But hey, I'm not going to whine. What I am going to do is disregard him as a mod. If he deletes one of my posts, I'll repost it as soon as possible. If he deletes a post by anyone else and I notice, I'll repost that too in so far as I can remember it.
I agree with most of what you say mouse except for ric. I do see the logic behind ric & bbj's apointment as mods as neither ever got involved in the bullshit here wer as qph was up to his neck in it and has broke more rules here than most of us. Ric though proved himself unsuitable by thinkin it was his place to lay the law down even going so far as saying he would delete every post a person ever posted if they didnt conform to him & then atacks 9 for not publicly licking his arse.......
Big difference between Liz and QPH. QPH isn't your standard escort client here, and yes sometimes in the past I did feel he took stuff too seriously etc, BUT he was never a bad sort here, he never sought to hurt others by publishing their private info here or upset others or encourage bad behaviour etc. He was just himself, which might not have been average Joe so if you found him a little quirky at times I'd understand that, but he was never a malicious person, and that's a very important difference between him and Liz to me. This is why, yes making Liz a mod would be insane, but I don't think making QPH one was.
Also QPH was never a traditional "little buddy" of mine here. Me and QPH are very different people, we don't always agree, I think he's more sensative and caring than me in a lot of ways, and I'm just way more laid back and thick skinned maybe. But I think having mods with different personalities is a good thing, it brings more perspectives to the moderating table.

Your forgeting his insane rants about paws & his behaviour towards dolly which wer obsesive to say the least. Now just because i opose him i'm automaticly paws. Your disregarding your regular posters wishes just because you had to scrape the bottom of the barrel, he was a bad choice pat lets face it. Also is it a mods place to condasend to the regular posters of this site????????
I'm not forgetting anything. Really I see no point in dragging up the past again, but I've clearly said several times that there are times in the past where I've felt QPH took life too seriously and I've disagreed with him, so I'm not missing my memory of him prior to when he became a mod. Also, I'm not scraping the barrell. In fact lots of decent people have asked me to be mods. I had offers from several great posters. The order in which people offered played some part, because, now we have mods, every time I appoint a new mod I have to think will he/she get on with the existing mods, but I wasn't scrapping the barrell appointing QPH. Of course I care what every poster here thinks, but I am also entitled to my own opinion, and I see a few people aren't happy with a few mods, but I also see that lots of people are happy and I think the mods are doing good myself.
No, but I think the idea that they are is not something unresolvable. Remember it isn't easy starting out as a mod, it is not always easy to know when you should come down hard on someone and when you don't need to do that. All the mods are prepared to accept feedback, so I feel like if any of them have come off as condasending to some sometimes, that isn't an issue we can't get past by them learning and you not nailing them to the cross for every little move they make which isn't perfect :D
His pevious behaviour does undermine his position when it comes to him trying to quell arguements or inforce the 10 commandments of our lord & saviour ric flair as hes broke plenty more of the rules here than the rest of us whether or not you like to admit it thats just the way people see it
At least pat you can engage in debate about this which he cant he'd rather label us trolls or the dreaded anti mods & has been proved in other threads to be full of shite but thats just my opinion. I dont see anyone suporting him here really no1 wants him.
And pat he was the bottom of the barrel after you asked plenty others who didnt want to do it most noteably carlos who everyone agreed on. If you want qph or any mod to be an efficiant choice well thats clearly down to the community to except them is it not? The end result of all this is you have 1 mod accepted by the community & 2 that arent...... In reards my sig pat its ok for ric to do it so like i told ric mine changes when his does so i realy feel you should of deleted both not just mine..
I am by no way looking for the negative in anybody. Thick flair puts alot of work in to escort of the month ....why, i dont know ,because i explained to him months how easy it is manipulate the result.
But that his baby and good luck to him ........but it was a fairly serious error of judgement and whats stopping him from saying something worse about someone else the next time he looses it .
Can u explain why there is no problem with bbj as mod , only the other two.
nbt
i,m moving this out of a sticky.
i,d like to stick up a similiar poll in a month time to get a re-accessment and feedback of how the mods are doing.
