To quote john Maxwell ' In most cases those who want power probably shouldn't have it, those who have it do so for the wrong reasons.

The forum has already been renamed , it's the Shed , not the ST.


If I wanted to be a mod the last thing I would do is start a topic promoting candidacy. ?
Each to their own I guess.

Nothing lasts forever.

Never a truer word.

I don't stick my head up much on here as I really don't want it shot off!

For what it is worth, there is too much nonsense and whataboutery on here. but to think Mario is the solution is hilarious.

It's a bit weird to see someone say that they want to be a mod.

As an ex-mod on the Saints forum it's generally the mods and the admin who will make the decision on the replacements.

I'm sure it will give a few giggles on the mods forum though.

Which is what happened!:there are mods on the board, the opening poster thinks It should be him despite him being one of the most ( rightly or wrongly) devisive posters on here. I think the mods we have do a great job, allow lots of discussion and not as quick as others to hit the ban button!

This forum is a shadow of it's former self. I rarely bother posting these days.

However here is my twop'th for what it is worth. A mod should be seen as a neutral sane voice that allows debate but recognises where someone has overstepped the mark. They don't get involved in petty squabbles or post rumour after rumour just to see what effect it has on fans. Mario, Stanley, Mitch enjoy the baiting far too much to be considered as mods.

I can't imagine anything worse than being a moderator, I bait only Mario as I find the puerile drivel he pulls out of a RL tombola counter productive and utterly nonsensical.

Any potential Mod should be someone who has the club/fans well being at heart and impeccable impartiality.

[/i I totally agree with the first half of your "twop'th, however why the hell are you bringing my name into the Moderator equation, i haven't declared any intentions of putting myself forward and would like to keep it that way.Talk about baiting. Hypocrite.

Mario would be a fair Moderator in my book, he's not part of the ''clique'' what this forum has had for many years which fundamentally needs shaking from the bottom of its shoe.

Clique ? there is hardly anyone posting.

I'm not baiting anyone I was just stating that those I named enjoy the argument too much to be mods. It had nothing to do with whether they wanted the job.

Mario doesn't have the respect of all sides and posts too much drivel

As far as I am concerned this is the end of my involvement and probably the site as well.

Maybe start by not posting crap on other sites like you have on ours in the last couple of weeks

No "clique'' hahaha. Ignorance is bliss. And you mentioned me as a baiter who loves arguments which is an absurd statement just look back at my posts you'll find they're stalked and antagonized by ''Butch Boy'' he's obsessed

. I post my true opinion on how i see it whether its positive or negative. The new moderator should be as you first described and certainly shouldn't be based upon a popularity contest. Many people i talk to refrain from here due to its ''clique'y nature'' seriously.

You have an interesting outlook on reality, Stan.

You said'Good post Mario. This is how i see it, The above is exactly what Mario is on about. The above Ad Hominem attacks are totally unprovoked.In my case. All "Butch'' does is stalk me around the forums with numerous alias's provoking a squabble regarding a certain subject where he then tirades atypical parody of brain insults. The lad has a deep routed cognitive dissonance problem hence his continuous obsessive ad hominem attacks. Then you get "Butch's'' conjoined twin parroting the same vitriol. I admit i retaliate but its only through provocation.'

Then this attack on Bonita Red who had the gall to politely say that he thought Mario wasn't the right person to be a mod...

'What a pathetic quote, so you can only be a Moderator through a popularity contest.'

I decide to make my thoughts known whether I think Mario should be a mod, to which Stan decided to reply with...

Mr Parody.Is there ever a day where you can stop having a cranial pop at people. You must have one sad life

Red Willow put his/her opinion forward, politely and got this...

i haven't declared any intentions of putting myself forward and would like to keep it that way.Talk about baiting. Hypocrite.

Red Willow then made another point and got this...

No "clique'' hahaha. Ignorance is bliss. And you mentioned me as a baiter who loves arguments which is an absurd statement just look back at my posts you'll find they're stalked and antagonized by ''Butch Boy'' he's obsessed

Now I don't think you need to be Sherlock Holmes to work out that you have been...

First to insult.
Consistently rude.
Seem to be obsessed with me.

The only negative thing I've said about you specifically in this thread is having a joke about the shape of your testicles. Which was funny, come on, even you laughed...

I've pretty much been in agreement with you over most RL matters on the forum over the last few weeks, and you're guilty of letting what has happened on the Sin Bin leak into this forum. Get yourself back on track, because nobody wants to read yours or my tit-for-tat.

Gee Whiz. Bang on cue. Moral high ground how hypocritical of you. I didn't have a pop at Bonita Red personally i ridiculed his post. And i also replied to Red Willow as he/she accused me of baiting which was the exact trait he/she was portraying him/herself. See i don't do personal attacks like you, i challenge the post not the poster.Bellowing the Moral high ground is laughable with your history of personal attacks. Gee Whiz things people revert to.

Ive always found Stanley incredibly easy to get along with and incredibly insightful with his posts on the board. Once again however Stan and myself find ourselves coming under unjustified attacks. We need strong pro-active moderators for this forum.
