Tess - I haven't forgotten just haven't had the time to sort it out

Thank you for saying that, Azz.

O NO NO NO

In my stupid way I wrote it wrong again.

My meaning was

I think you would make a good helper but I also think certain people who in the past have had a ban would be as well.

No worries Galty, but thank you for clarifying what you meant.

Re: Over 50s Forum Helpers

I should like to say that I have never been banned from anywhere either, except from a chat site (I was global mod) where everybody either got banned or left of their own accord.

It was hilarious and didn't last many weeks So that doesn't count

I also modded on a nice small (invite only) site which had to close due to the owner's partner becoming ill.

As a consequence, we all joined OFF

I am def not putting my name forward to be a helper.

thank you

Re: Over 50s Forum Helpers

I hope the fact, that hardly anyone is interested in being a helper, demonstrates what hard work Meg and Mags have been doing over the years. Over the time I have been here I have been happy to help by reporting any Kitchen advertising or suggesting the mods look at posts that may be offensive....but although I always try to be fair and have never been banned I am not certain that, as a helper, I could remain neutral in some situations.
I don't doubt that we all think we could do the job well, but I have seen a site that has seriously gone downhill and is now struggling to continue, owing to poor moderation.... so lets make sure that never happens here.

Do you know Twinks, I would be so sad if this site did ever finish. I know I'd really, really miss folks here if we couldn't speak anymore.

I think many people feel the same Mups. I sincerely believe that this is a place where you can give your opinion freely ( providing there is no nasty,personal criticisms of other members) and that is down to Azz & the Mods method of running the site.
I will also say that we have a lot of lovely members on here who will help where they can, have a laugh, and comfort others, when needed. I know they may give you a hard time when they disagree with you, on serious matters, but the vast majority of them don't make it personal and are happy to have a laugh with you on another thread. So it is up to the members to keep this site as good as it has been in the past.

Nice post BUT that's a big but.

Why over the past year +has AZZ asked for new mods and helpers and nothing happened???

I do understand that the Mods are over stretched and it seems left on their own at times

Site needs a couple new Mods and any members even if in the past they have had a temp ban should be considered.
