not being funny or out, but when i joined this forum a few years ago, as a 17 year old newbie full of rubbish, you (scruffy) were one of the few members who didn't give me respect
yes i remember well, strange that after reading several comments on another board, (which i recall at the time was an MT bashing board) quite a few deogratry comments were made, respect is a mutal thing, you have to show respect to have it earned, i have never judged anyone from the start, but thru debate and what you read you can soon make your own conclusions... thats all i am saying on the matter... you can make what you will

i hope that everytime people have written the word "respect" they have touched their heart with their hands clenched in a fist
if not you are all being dis-respectful
as scruffy said - give it to receive it back, or vice versa

yes but you actually went out of your way to make comments and made it personal, which i found a bit strange, never did it to you as far as i can recall
i have no doubt i was immature (maybe still am  ), but the way you acted was in my view even more so
anyway, im not into long drawn out arguments i've said my piece and admit i was a knob....

With due respect James I think thats an unprofessional comment to make as it casts doubts over quite a few 'unnamed' people and thats unfair IMO.
Sorry to have upset you mate - but for sure you were definitely NOT a mistake - you helped put MT where it is IOO. The un-named errors where mods people probably haven't heard of mainly because they hardly posted. I don't feel that was unprofessional, as I said it merely to illustrate my actions.

My final words as a Mod were that relaxed Modding would not work and it was the wrong way to go. History has proved me right.
Yes, but we had to try it, and I'm glad we did. Trail and error is the way in which many businesses progress. Which is why a few months ago, we reverted back to before; and, as you'll remember every so often we fell 'on hard times' and needed to tighten up - this is merely of them. And, as you'll also remember, things improved straight away

James, I`m surprised to here you say that, more for the fact that from my time here I can only think of one and to be fair before things got a bit out of hand this person was a valued member and Mod, personally I think your choices have been very good.
Rich, I wouldn`t take that comment personally mate, take it from me you were a Mod of the highest order and had a great deal of respect from a hell of a lot of members( and other Mods too I`m sure).
OK after both now reading your and Tirdent's comments, I should have thought before I posted! OK one slipped through sorry! Anyway I wasn't also referring to Toxic - he was a great mod for the main, just at the end he had a different approach to us. TT brought loads of good to MT - so he was a good choice. Like I said to Tri I was referring to those you probably haven't heard of.
I really hope Tri hasn't taken it personally - can't see why he would have though. He was the only mod to leave modding and be asked back some time later.

Does this mean there is going to be a return to the non debatable locking and deleting of threads without the need for an in depth forum discussion of what members think the rules should be?
If so Hoooooooray.

Also can we please not nominate mods - there are reasons why some names which could be mentioned would not be suitable. Equally there may be some names which would be suitable, butg that's for us to nominate. Regulars are always watched in a postive way, and many times it actaully makes good board sense to have high posting respected members as just that. Not everyone who is good can be a mod - otherwise we'd have a couple of hundred mods!!!

Lol @ `TIRDent`.
Fair enough James, as I say I can only refer to my time here, it was a kind of `back handed` compliment to the team more than anything .

we have all come a long way, changed in our approach and attitude, if i did come across as making personnel comments then i apologise for that

If mods are there for the people, why not let the people decide who they would want as a mod?
all the members mods would be popularity rather than the skills needed to be involved IMO, there is a lot more that goes on behind the scenes than you can possibly imagine...

Cheers for the comments James
I was not upset at the post at all, just a bit confused by it I guess.
IMO the current Mod teams spot on theres no shortage of quality members on MT who would make the grade If requested.
Its all good bro

I'm guessing that's a serious question?! Albeit a pretty obvious one! You low carbing again today? 
Who said mods are there for the people anyway?
And even if they were, being a mod is not a popularity contest. Neither is MT a democracy. Plus there's alot which goes on behind the scenes, none of which is a secret, it's just that it's not feasibily or practically possible to let people know what's going on!

It was a serious question actually
Without people on the board (i.e. non mods) then MT wouldn't exist, surely some qualities could be taught?
if there are some trouble areas on the board then why not elect some mods with limited powers who seem adept at dealing with said issues and dont have to worry about what goes on behind the scenes, they will be there to deal with what goes on open board
And yes i am low carbing but my train of thought was simply along the lines of being a member first mod second like i am on UGM
hope im managing to explain this properly without looking like an idiot
