Holly back as Mod for TSB; please sign this petition!!!

[Kaj]

Since Holly left as Mod, things haven't been the same in TSB.
I think that Joel is taking things a bit too seriously, with his reactions in the joke-thread as a preliminary all-time-low for what I've seen here at MURC.

To put it short: Who would like to have Holly (motub) back as The Soap Box moderator?
Who would like her to co-host this forum?

One Mod-vote here...

It won't happen and I don't mean anything negative toward Holly at all when I say that.

[Joel]

When I accepted this position, as moderator of this forum, I was told that I would probably have a harder time than some of the other mods because of the possible subject matter that would be posted here. I have been with these forums since their very conception and one of the things that they have always had, up until recently, was a certain level of professionalism. I attribute that mainly to the influx of alot of new members who are probably coming from other forums where this was not so. Holly resigned, based on what I know, because she did not feel that she had the resources or the time available to maintain this forum at that level of professionalism. I am not Holly and I will not try to be Holly. Holly had her own style and I have mine. I will though try to abide by the 'Forum Survial Guide', which we have Holly to thank for. All I'm asking is that y'all do the same.

Joel - All we can ask for is consistency.

A non-agressive questionaire here:

Holly resigned, based on what I know, because she did not feel that she had the resources or the time available to maintain this forum at that level of professionalism.

I know the reason why she let go of the Box, Joel. It was only one of the reasons in a certain email to Ant... And it was none of the above !!

Just a question here: Why would you want to be moderator of TSB anyway? You get a lot of shit in your box, yet you can't delete, move or lock threads that easily, for then you could have long time members of The Box run all over you...

Meaning what, Joel? The Soap Box isn't about professionalism in any way. It's as Ant says on the main page A forum where you can discuss any old rubbish. Now there is no excuse for polluting the other forums!

I know I brought this along before, but now I would like you to say what is the proffesionalism in this forum?... or it must be in Soap, Cheese, Ranting or Any Little Thing Bothering You

I am not Holly and I will not try to be Holly.

TYG, at least I sleep better today

Holly had her own style and I have mine. I will though try to abide by the 'Forum Survial Guide', which we have Holly to thank for.

Okay, here's something I was waiting for... Joel, remember that you have your Mod tag hanging around you in every post you make? You remembered me about it after the attack of "fearless Pim"

Well, if you try to abide by the 'Forum Survial Guide', you'd better not tell people on MHW (or anywhere for that matter) to leave these fori because they would like to get a GF-2 or GTS or whatever they fancy. Then you'd better not mingle yourself in a battle with a non-BB about a video-card that no-one is interested in.

What I mean is what you said to me: You can't speak for yourself anymore, no matter what. You can't start your burner, when there's a BBQ going on. You just have to let it go, if you can. And if you can't, you just have to take the flak shot at you. If you "try to abide by the 'Forum Survial Guide'" you're only allowed to help people here, not burn them down

I let go of me against Gino, Swampy and a couple of others, and received alot of flak, not only from friends but also from about everyone on these fori. So I went into low profile. Can you do so?

All I'm asking is that y'all do the same.

I can't speak for Holly, and I surely won't. She's not here to read this while I type this, but I will leave a note...

People, you know the way Holly ruled this forum. Joel is allowed to give it his own view of things, even I grant that !!

I even agree to Rags' view on things

Just answer my two or three questions above, Joel I'm still behind you, even if it doesn't sound like I am

(Someone had to take over the NutBox... I wished it was Rags... LOL!!)

Jord.

P.S: If you read down this far): About the Jokes thread: I can't even load the 3rd page without having to load a new plug-in for my browsers, and that's something I really hate !! I want to go into TSB and read threads, without having to load a plug-in that might or might not install right (and forces you to re-boot!!), only to read some joker's joke.

My god man, what are you babbling about?

BTW, that survival guide was Holly's. I think that everyone has their own belief and that they believe in running things differently.

Nothing personal against Holly but I think Joel should make his own survival guide or modify the current one since he has his own way of running the show.

Ciao

I know the reason why she let go of the Box, Joel. It was only one of the reasons in a certain email to Ant... And it was none of the above !!

Well I was only going by what she said on the forums. So are you saying she lied to us?

Why would you want to be moderator of TSB anyway?

It gives me something constructive to do in my spare time.

Meaning what, Joel? The Soap Box isn't about professionalism in any way.

Maybe professionallism wasn't the best word to use, but I don't stay up all night studying the dictionary.

It's as Ant says on the main page A forum where you can discuss any old rubbish. Now there is no excuse for polluting the other forums!

That is very true and so far I think I have done a good job of allowing that. I mean I'm not deleting your post and I view it as a direct attack againist me. I did make one mistake with one thread but I learned from it.

I know I brought this along before, but now I would like you to say what is the proffesionalism in this forum?... or it must be in Soap, Cheese, Ranting or Any Little Thing Bothering You

Damn I don't know how to quite respond to that. Hell then again I'm not even sure I understand what you are asking.

Okay, here's something I was waiting for...

In other words you were waiting for me to give her credit for something. I don't know how she feels but even though we have had our differences about things I hold no ill feelings toward her.

What I mean is what you said to me: You can't speak for yourself anymore, no matter what. You can't start your burner, when there's a BBQ going on. You just have to let it go, if you can. And if you can't, you just have to take the flak shot at you. If you "try to abide by the 'Forum Survial Guide'" you're only allowed to help people here, not burn them down

I don't recall telling you that but if you can produce the thread...

People, you know the way Holly ruled this forum. Joel is allowed to give it his own view of things, even I grant that !!

If that is the case then what is the problem.

(Someone had to take over the NutBox... I wished it was Rags... LOL!!)

He didn't want it.

If Jorden wasn't so selfish, no one here would be whining at Joel becuase all Jorden had to do was to let Holly use his Pc.

But nooooooooooooo, Jorden does not believe in sharing with his wife.

tsk tsk tsk

Hey guys I'm back and boy have things changed alot around here. Took me awhile to get caught up. Sad to see Holly go because I think what this forums needs is more females to help level things out. Most of you guys are just too concerned about who's is bigger.

And Joel I don't know whether to offer you my congratulations or condolences. But I think you will do a great job.
