Man, it all hurt, real bad.
But I'm glad it is over now and I'm now a fully paid up moderator.
And I'm another non-scooby owning moderator, like Shaun, but not as ugly
Cheers

Aren't they some sort of religious movement akin to the Quakers, Methodists and the like?
Probably frown on drinking, gambling, sex (with opposite sex!) and witches.
Then again looking at the ones who claim to be in it on here, only some of those apply!!

You think you have ot tough as Moderator that owns a Ford. I drive an Automatic BMW diesel estate
DW - it is a tightly kept secret. We spent many months as moderator-jedi-knights pandering to SdB's every whish and whim, (I still can't face a can of whipped cream, nor a cold wet haddock). The handshake alone took many weeks of intensive training, and as for the Scoobynet 'Haka', I still can't do it without slipping a disc.
PS Barry, we are nothing like the Quakers or Methodists. More Jehoviahs Witness's crossed with Hells Angels And we sometimes do frown when drinking, gambling,.... but that is normally due to the cat'o'nine tails

I'm on here everyday whether the boss likes it or not
So, how do you become a moderator?
Originally I thought it went to the "old timers" - i.e. thousands of posts, but just seen a post from SUL. A relatively new moderator.
So how do you become one?

It is a dark and terrible process that I would forfeit my moderatorship if I told you.
Think of it as a cross between the SAS training course, a lesson in tolerance, the stonecutters initation ceremony and doing 'bob a job' for SDB
Actually it seems to be the right person offers to help, at the right time. For example, I beleive Nimbus suggested the 'was it you' forum and so, since it was his idea he was offered the job.
What I would say is that non moderators actually have more responsibility than moderators. Moderators are there to clear up the 'mess' Scooby Newbie's and regulars should play their part in ensuring the mess does'nt happen in the first place.

I offered my services, since I had suggested the forum and thought I'd better put up or shut up!!
Although, had I known what the initiation ceremony involved, I would <I>never</I> have volunteered... *shudder*... It left me a mental wreck...

Just seen the "Was it You" forum and no it wasnt and you cant prove a thing .
Scoobynet Moderators need to be level headed, cool in a crisis and above all tactiful.
[Note for Simon - Based on the above criteria I think you need some new moderators.]
Only joking boys, please dont delete my posts

It was an interesting test as I watched Simon line all the other moderators up and asked them to strip for him, once this was done then it was the cough and drop test which I think Simon enjoyed
2nd test was can you actually drive test, of which alot of trainee moderators failed and i still can't understand how Shaun and Moray are Moderators LOL
The way this Great BBS is growing in Forums, Quality and Members im sure there will be alot more Openings for trainee moderators soon.

Webmaster, I thought a vow of silence was a prerequisite? Clearly more discipline is needed. Please administer.

There Is No Cabal.
We could tell you how to achieve Moderation Nirvana, but we'd hav... Hang on, that joke's been done.
I really can't say, but I was walking strangely for a few days and I still can't look at a turnip without grimacing.

Watty!!!
"And I'm another non-scooby owning moderator, like Shaun, but not as ugly"
Not as UGLY!!!!! U having a laugh!!!!!!
Simon actually said to me you were TOO ugly, but I reminded him about equality and all that, so he gave in, in the end!!! His EXACT words were, "At least people can't flame me for allowing a dribbling turd like Ian in!!!"
Anyway....howz the adverts going....haven't seen the "Mr Muscle" advert for sometime!!!
Come back when you or anyone else is 'ard enough!!!!!!!!!! 
Shaun.
