Who in their right mind would actually WANT to be a mod! I mean ffs some of you people are actually acting like it's a good thing to be.... almost like a badge of honour or something...

Stay as you are.............. and let the children with high post counts and brown noses battle it out for 'mod' status......

Anyway, I'm guessing the conversation in the mods forum went something like this..

Paul..What's that bloody Zoints thing?

Webhamster..Just shut up and accept it - its good for business

Paul..Well, I'm not sure......

Webhamster..Look, let me explain...its good for business and you have to have it

Paul..Thanks, but no, I don't want to do it.

Webhamster..Paul, I'll put it to you in simple terms. You have to have it. The community needs to see consistency among the moderators. Just because its purely commercial and so full of security risks Al Queda could fly a 747 through it is neither here nor there, doesn't give you a let out. We believe its for the best. You agree now, don't you?

Paul..No, not really.

Webhamster..Then I'm sorry, you clearly don't want to part of this anymore. Goodbye.

nice to see the previous employer come out and offer any sort of thanks for Paul's previous (very) good work....

But no, they will employ some line towing, zoint agreeing, no necked, special constable wannabee, yes man to do the job.
