Should Bigbadjohn be a mod

Simple question should BBJ be a mod

Please only vote once no matter how many IDs you have

Yes - I think you have to give the guy a chance before you say he is no good. FFS, he's barely been a mod 3 days!!!

No I don't, but I did sort it earlier today that there is now no way any community mod can delete a thread without me still being able to see it. That's how I approach these things. There is me here, plus approx 10 staff (some of them new) that could have deleted it, plus 1 community mod. Rather than instigate a witch hunt, I just made sure it won't happen again. Now only me and Sarah can 'hard' delete posts as vbulletin calls it.

Not asking for a witch hunt but it would be interesting to know if your new moderator had deleted a thread asking him about his multiple user IDs and his relationship to Liz hilton as well as to what information he has access to. It goes to the heart of the issue as to whether he was a suitable choice for a mod.

Thankfully you say it can't happen again but leaves the question what other door will we find open after the horse has bolted.

So,you cant get your own staff to confess to you.

If it was me,i keep Sarah-My right hand and eyes
I keep Nicole left hand and my eyes


Rest of them kick in the ass and get a new staff that dont lie.


Or leave everyone without weiges this month except Sarah and Nicole,and maybe they will remember and confess who did it

I couldn't be bothered track them all down over this, and it is a case of track them down as some days I am not in the office, not to mention because we operate 7 days a week but staff only work 5 days a week (or less in some cases) everyone is not in one place everyday. Also I don't consider this a big deal. I think somebody must have deleted a post that I don't think they should have, i.e. It was the wrong judgement on their part, not that they meant to be "bad". However I should have made sure new staff and community mods could not "hard" delete posts so this would never have happened. I fixed this yesterday, now it won't happen again.

If call99 or anyone else was being prevented from asking valid questions on this site - I would say we have a problem. If call99 got one post deleted but we have fixed the loophole that allowed that to happen and we are all discussing the issue here - I would say we don't have a problem here now, as nobody is truly being censored.

It's pointless making a poll about this. The decision has been made and we should give him a chance. I never remember him having an arguemement with anyone on this forum. Most of his posts are good humoured. He doesn't get involved in petty squabbles here. His friendship with Liz Hilton is irrelevant. I'm sure he'll treat her the same as the rest of us. And if she asks for any special favours, I'm sure he won't. If he did he wouldn't last long in this job as people would soon make it known. Give him a chance. Of course there'll be mistakes at first. A post got deleted, big deal write another one. It's no good blaming him as one of the other staff could've done it. If he has made a mistake he'll learn from it and know not to do it again.

You should have appointed other mods besides BBJ.Just my opinion.Its too much to expect one person to have to read everything on here.

Another thing is they shouldnt have to go modding the Soap Opera.Its nonsense to expect one person to have to read and follow and mod such rubbish.Do you read all of that Sopa Opera stuff?I dont and wont either.
