/// I very much doubt it. You're too easily offended. ///

How have the others been selected then? Because it seems that many here on AB can beat me at being offended.

Even Boo seems offended just because I have ignored all her replies.

ummm's right

I'm sure aog would come top in a count of 'flounces', handbag swinging, and refusals to partake in debate

Meh, not offended, amused and sometimes exasperated, but not offended.

I think the way it worked was an original 'core' of users were asked by ed to be mods, then those mods were asked who they thought would also be suitable (or daft) to do it alongside 'em- some silly s0d (after a few drinks probably!) thought id be mod material so I was also asked by ed as well.

Mmmm...I've always said drink has a lot to answer for.......☺

After reading comment on here regards Lee, it makes me wonder the age group that responds to posts, are the posters children, Teens, over 20s, or adults? I have seen & heard better comments from the Service Users I used to care for, good god, grow up. Before the Replies, I can stand it!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I expect one of the big tests before becoming a mod is how you hand out Best Answers... this present thread might be thought to show you as being too argumentiferous by half. Still you could be made a Mod's Aide and carry B00's broomstick on Halloween, if that would do for a start?.

Ah so it's not what you know, but who you know then?

Seems to me that from your explanation, those Mods would only ask other persons with a similar agenda to their own, therefore it would be like a close knit club instead of a democratic group of separate people who held varying views?

[Zeuhl]

/a democratic group of separate people who held varying views?/

Good grief aog!

The mods just need to ensure compliance with the published rules.

They are not awarding points or deciding who in a debate is right or wrong.

Do you have an issue with the way you have ever been treated by mods aog that has caused you to suspect a clique or conspiracy against you or anyone else?

aog, the Ed (and no doubt his Auntie) can always overrule anything a mod does. I've no idea how often they find a need to do so, though.
