-help in promoting cbb in Canada


Remember that once one become a mod, it will last for 3 months then you are a regular member again and 2 other mods will be chosen.

[ergie]

Come on lets get some actual CBB members as mods.

Happy its finally happening though, we've needed a few here for awhile.

Me :)

[IronRobi]

I'd nominate Mr O. He's on the board all the time and the guy knows his shit.

[champcar99]

I'd nominate Mr O. He's on the board all the time and the guy knows his shit.

You mean Mr.Stove Top...lol...

[Crankin'steiN]

Give me some time to meet the criteria of 500 posts and being a member for 6 months and I will apply to be a Mod. Nice site and I would like to give my time to a Canadian board instead of just modding all US boards like last time around. For now I'll just do what I can to help the board with whatever title goes with my posts... I have no problems with that.

[ergie]

I'd nominate Mr O. He's on the board all the time and the guy knows his shit.

Mr O!? Are you kidding lol, he's a fag.

[UkrainianGuy]

imo those who been here the longest deserve some recognition first off, MOD and or other.

[champcar99]

Mr O!? Are you kidding lol, he's a fag.

yea the rumor going around is he's been dating freeze behind your back....he's been doing Freeze on the stove and posting pics of it...:ne.

[champcar99]

imo those who been here the longest deserve some recognition first off, MOD and or other.

I would agree with that logic....makes alot of sence:a+

[#8]

I can Vouch for Mr. O as well. Good guy, knowledgeable member.

[Mr.Freeze]

yea the rumor going around is he's been dating freeze behind your back....he's been doing Freeze on the stove and posting pics of it...:ne.

yeah and Mr..O his fukin HOT.

Champ whats your phone # we should get together one night for lunch
:ilu

[ergie]

lol the freeze homo is back

[Mr.Freeze]

lol i always got my eyes on you Fergio :ne

[champcar99]

yeah and Mr..O his fukin HOT.

Champ whats your phone # we should get together one night for lunch
:ilu

1-800-BIG-DICK...ANY TIME HONEY

[St]

Well Freeze has been here the longest that would make a good pick.Next pick would be or Twitch.Who was the guy that posted on MN with all the gay pics?

[Sean]

Here's my pics Cranknstein, BDH and Bloodrage... A good start IMHO..

[ergie]

No, he stinks and no

[gustavo77]

No, he stinks and no

There is just no pleasin' you...

[St]

I don't want any CJM,or MN mods haha.

[BAM]

I don't want any CJM,or MN mods haha.

word

BR = pure faggotry

[liquidfire]

I'd put my name in but I don't think I fit the criteria very much... I'm sure I'm way under 500 posts, I'm a newb and no one on here really knows me haha

[UkrainianGuy]

dispite me being fairly new to the board, i would apply, i have reservations about this 3mth rotation concept. Not that i dont think its a good idea, but i dont really see a benefit from it, besides giving everyone a chance to prove their are mod worthy. But having extra functions/responsibility shouldnt be the benchmark, it should be what that member has already displayed.

[ergie]

I'm with Bam and Tony and that has always been my opinion on the subject.

[ergie]

There is just no pleasin' you...

You smell to

[shithead]

You smell to


It should be someone who is well spoken.

hahahaha nice!

[ergie]

lol **** off shithead


It should be someone who is well spoken.


PSSST FERG - it's "too" lol

[The Brick]

I would be willing to do it if need be.
I've been around Canadian bodybuilding forums since 2001. Primarily in the beginning CJM, then MN, and now I've been spending most of my time here. I think most of you who have been around for a while on those past boards are familiar with me.
I know I am under 500 posts, but honestly I think after posting on the boards for so long I am just a little short on new ideas for threads; However I do visit and read multiple times a day.
I think I'm pretty straight forward, mature, honest, don't flame and so on. Back in the good old days, I won the contest on Muscle nexus for most quality posts. (Who remembers that far back?).

Anyways there's my pitch.

[O-Train]

I'd say I could do it but I don't have experience w/ AAS and that seems to be the main focus of this board. Maybe training though, and some other bodybuilding related stuff.

[Durk]

This board needs me.

[Mr Ontario]

Does grammar count? :)


It should be someone who is well spoken.


PSSST FERG - it's "too" lol

[tex]

dont make me a mod....i have a generally bad disposition and would exploit my mod priviliges....

[Drifter]

Here's my pics Cranknstein, BDH and Bloodrage... A good start IMHO..


I vote Cranknstien . he has been around for longer than I can remember on many boards . plus if I rmember right he ownd a Canadian board a while back ( I could be wrong ) but he knows his shit and is good with people .

I would second B2J , but he would bann me for flirting with his gf or not giving out my friends number to him LMAO :moon

[ergie]

If B2J ever became a mod here I would find a new board to post on and I'm sure others would do the same.

[Seth]

dont make me a mod....i have a generally bad disposition and would exploit my mod priviliges....

honesty, one of the required qualities to be a mod

[macka]

I second the brick and maybe carl because we know he and sexy flexy gel so much. Oh and brick I do remember you winning the most quality posts back in the day. It was the second last good contest at MN before the shit hit the fan. It also had the most prizes. Good times were had for sure. I'd also put my name behind badger boy :ilu

[BDH]

If B2J ever became a mod here I would find a new board to post on and I'm sure others would do the same.Good thing you arent in charge of the selection... none of the vets are good enough, apparently... and the 'Im taking my ball and going home" theory is kind of lame, IMO...

Thanks Macka... and Sean, even if it was sarcastic...lol

[ergie]

Listen up stinky, the only reason I said that was because a few days ago B2J posted that a lab in Canada had been busted awhile back and was co-operating with LE. This was not true and he had absolutely no proof to back it up, uncalled for and he knows better. What CBB vets am I saying aren't good enough?


Good thing you arent in charge of the selection... none of the vets are good enough, apparently... and the 'Im taking my ball and going home" theory is kind of lame, IMO...

Thanks Macka... and Sean, even if it was sarcastic...lol

[ergie]

I'm just put off by all of this because most of the people wanting to get on as mods here haven't really put in the time or effort. I've said it once and I'll say it again, IMO the mods here should be CBB members/vets.

[Durk]

Time put in at the nexus should automatically carry over :)

[O-Train]

Why the need for 500 posts? I was one of the first people to sign-up and I only have 200. What's the point of having a mod with most of their posts in the off topic section?

[Big D]

you get my vote O_hurley

[BAM]

Time put in at the nexus should automatically carry over :)

Anyone that has ever experienced you on nexus knows that you are a piece of shit so stfu.

[Durk]

Anyone that has ever experienced you on nexus knows that you are a piece of shit so stfu.

you make me giggle.

[O-Train]

you get my vote O_hurley

I appreciate it. I really don't have enough knowledge regarding anabolics to be a general moderator. I know on Nexus there was at one point moderators of different sub-forums. My experience is really centered around weight lifting and diet for bodybuilding purposes and I know enough about the human body to help in these areas. Also perhaps contest preperation, posing etc...but I can think of a few guys who have been around a lot longer than me and have more practical knowledge. Most of them also have experience with AAS, which I really want nothing to do with.

If there was a natural bodybuilding section (I think a while ago there was but it wasn't very popular) than I could probably answer almost any question. Besides that due to this boards content my help would be very limited.

I'm editing who I think would be a good choice because there are just too many people to choose from. I went through the list of currently active members and I had left out a lot of people. I still think that UkranianGuy would be a good choice because of the time and effort he spends. I also think JonnyO would be a great choice. I guess BDH could do it too although he is a wrestler. So that makes him a big fat phony but he would do a good job. For Female members I think 69C or Feline Cougar would be good choices.

[BAM]

Yeah.. Feline Cougar would be a decent choice.

[Sean]

One day if I'm really, really, really lucky!! I will become a Mod somewhere and then brag about it to my grand kids lol. I say start with some proven vets and work from there, gives other wannabes a good direction to follow..

[UkrainianGuy]

thanks OH

I am sure there are good reasons why there is a swinging 3 mth mod rotation... but i cant see any. I can see a few negative ones... someone wanna enlighten me?

[O-Train]

thanks OH

I am sure there are good reasons why there is a swinging 3 mth mod rotation... but i cant see any. I can see a few negative ones... someone wanna enlighten me?

Absolute power corrupts absolutely (or something like that). Man I'm a post-whore tonight. If certain people didn't like the choices than they would only have to put up with the choosen moderators for a short time.

If it were my decision I would emulate the MN system. Have a couple rotating general moderators and then also have moderators for sub-forums based on experience. For example, there is a french sub-forum. What if the moderators can't speak french?

[Sean]

I personally say scrap the whole idea and just get chosen mods that you feel will do the board justice.. The last thing CBB needs is the community clashing. You'll start hearing things like "Anyone can be a Mod now, one board out there is letting people do it every 3 months". Another would say "This guy just applied for a Mod job at my board saying he modded at CBB". It will start getting nuts for CBB. "not only did some boards sell status, but now you can become a Mod without earning it ect.." I see alot of down sides to this idea, now that I think about it... But who really knows....

[UkrainianGuy]

perhaps then add a whole new level.. general population, then Forum leader (for example french section, women section) and then MOD, and finally ADMIN

[O-Train]

perhaps then add a whole new level.. general population, then Forum leader (for example french section, women section) and then MOD, and finally ADMIN

Yeah, makes sense. Or really, if you have moderators for different sub-forums you wouldn't need general moderators. MP could deal with anything like that.

Now that I think about it I also kind of wonder about rotating moderators every 3 months. The idea of change isn't so bad but every three months is quite often. If 2 moderators are choosen thats 8ppl per year.

[UkrainianGuy]

Moderator
The moderators (short singular form: "mod") are users of the forum which are granted access to the posts and threads of all members for the purpose of moderating discussion (similar to arbitration) and also keeping the forum clean (neutralising spam and spambots etc). Because they have access to all posts and threads in their area of responsibility, it is common for a knowledgeable and trustworthy member to be promoted to moderator for such a task. Moderators themselves may have ranks: some may be given mod privilege over only a particular topic or section, while others (called 'global') may be allowed access anywhere. Common privileges of moderators include: deleting, merging, moving, and splitting of posts and threads; closing, renaming, stickying of threads; banning, unbanning, warning the members; or adding, editing, removing the polls of threads. Enforcing the Board rules.

Do we have rules?

[physique]

i vote for UG guy. hes probably one of the most partial people on this site, with zero ties to anything. he would be great to have as a mod

if you'd stop juicing your nuts would grow back. hehehe

I can't justify paying 4 times the amount when I can make it myself. Can easily afford it but am cheap lol

[UkrainianGuy]

well i have ties.. im a MOD on another bb'ing board. Ideally the board would be benefit most from someone who could devote all their free time... instead of divided up

[macka]

Hammer for the record it was a serious vote for you.

[pinhead]

Yes, I agree. I think someone who has the time, energy and dedication should become mod here.

[BDH]

I'm just put off by all of this because most of the people wanting to get on as mods here haven't really put in the time or effort. I've said it once and I'll say it again, IMO the mods here should be CBB members/vets.Havent put in the time of effort? Please, list your bodybuilding credentials... not your CBB ones, the experience you have in the world of bodybuilding, health and fitness, and life in general...

You only want Mods that have never been Mods anywhere else??? You gonna hire only minorities when there are clearly more qualified white folks???

[BDH]

Hammer for the record it was a serious vote for you.Thanks buddy... even though you are my Polka Roo...

I think Fergie's hate on for Nexus is old enough news.

Whomever gets chosen by MP is good enough for me as I trust his judgement. Well, there was "you know who" once upon a time...but I digress... ;)

[Durk]

Well if brown Devil and Hammer are up I can say those are 2 people on this board who might be slightly more qualified than I.

[BDH]

I think Durk would make a fine Mod... only because of his avatar, though...

*ZING*

[BAM]

Funny that some of these people that are so interested in being mods here never ever post unless its some thread bout becoming a mod. If this board gets turned into Nexus, it'll be a real shame.

[ergie]

Yup and thats why I find it funny that most of the guys wanting to be mods just joined up and started posing when this came up.

[spiderman7]

I would like to see Mr. O , Fergie . Gus and smart-tony take up the spots. I believe in knowledge and a sense of humor.

[ergie]

Thanks spiderman but I dont have the time or patience for it.

[slick rick]

Funny that some of these people that are so interested in being mods here never ever post unless its some thread bout becoming a mod. If this board gets turned into Nexus, it'll be a real shame.

No disrespect to CBB but I think you guys are putting a little too much pretige into the Mod position. You guys a displaying classic 3rd world mentality if you think that the guys from MN are only posting here to become a Mod on CBB.

[St]

Yup and thats why I find it funny that most of the guys wanting to be mods just joined up and started posing when this came up.


Ya i'm with you on this new blood,or People that have been here for a long time,true cbb hardcore,before it was big.
Gus would be good!
Gsxr750 computer expert!
Freeze has been here from the start,i remember there were like 10 of us posting back in the begining,and he still posted every day,i will be pissed if the guy doesn't get the mod position that would be a slap in the face if he doesn't get a shot.

[ironwill]

Professionalism - IronWill, hands down. He will invite someone to punch him in the face on a regular basis, so he's a no-brainer for this. Carl might be a decent candidate as well.. He was always so calm and rational - Definately traits that we need to see in a Mod.

Just my 2 cents for it's worth..

thanks...:tu

for the record, it happened once, geez whiz.....

Thanx smat-tony
and just for the record im the first member to register on CBB :D

yep i think freeze should be one of the mods for sure,

[69challenger]

yep i think freeze should be one of the mods for sure,

I'll second that

[BDH]

I agree about Freeze... also, 69C would be great... one of the most kind, knowledgeable and impartial people I know...

[shithead]

I think

Ukrainian Guy would be a good mod as he puts a ton of effort into the board, but would he be tough enough? I dunno.

Hammer doesn't put much if any effort into the board, but I'm sure he'd love to be king of the hill. He would use his power as he sees fit.

Freeze would be a good pick as well, hes one of the few that has continually posted throughout the existence of cbb. He also speaks both languages.

There are others as well that I havent mentioned that would fit the bill.

What matters most? The amount of time the individual can devote to the job.

[BDH]

Honestly, Nexus is my home... as much as this seems to be 'the place to be' as far as Canadian BB boards go, this and the other thread have made me draw one conclusion...

People like me just arent welcome here... I am not one of the originals, even though my sign up date shows me being pretty close...

I will be happy reading posts and replying when I have something to say. Unlike many others who feel the need to force their opinion on others, I would rather not be in a position with any sort of power while I am disliked by so many. It would cause nothing but headaches for both sides.

[guest]

Hammer may do whatever Hammer does as a regular member but he has been a mod before(under MP).....and a good one. there are a lot of peep that contribute towards the AAS/training/diet side of the board and that doesnt mean they would make a good mod. you need to be diplomatic, able to be unbiased and have a sense of humor. take bloodrage for example, he is a douche as a mod(sorry man but you are), but when he is not modding he is a great guy.

there seems to be a lot of personality clashes on this board, i am sure it will all work itself out. blah.

[BAM]

Well you did a good job on nexus as a mod bro....IMO...
I still love you, and i dont care that most of my posts get overlooked and ignored because im ....an ass, or impatient with the lack of knowledge and pride i see displayed on a regular basis on boards nowadays... and im not original member...I can live with that, i also dont want a good rep because i make 95 posts about bullshit every day...
But nexus is my home and even though it isnt as busy as here, i love it..

Youre a good dude hammer, even though you call me names....:hu

That you must be lacking of! :)


I feel love in the room.

[gustavo77]

I do not know about anyone else but i have always felt welcomed here. A very warm, fuzzy feeling actually... I am not one of the "originals" either. I honestly do not understand this thing between some members of this site and some Nexus folk. Seems like a bunch of children saying my sandbox is better than yours. Myself i do not know everyone who is from Nexus but i do you know some of you and some of you are the coolest ****s i have ever met on any board. In any case, It is my hope that the people who have these "issues" can resolve them through PM and keep the drama off the board.

For those of you who mentioned my name as who they would like for mod, thank you very much, that means a ton to me. At this time though, i do not feel i am ready to mod on a board. I have learned a ton in the last 2.5 years on the boards that i want to share with you all but as far as how boards are run and how to deal with certain issues, i am just not comfortable in those types of situations, at this time.

Thanks for the nod though guys. I will continue to contribute, share and learn with all of you. Oh and i will continue on my quest to rib Mr. O as many times per day as possible.

[Seth]

I think Gus would make a damn good Mod. I remember reading his questions and answers on another board (stood out) when he was an intermediate. Still talks somewhat Textbook if you will, but He's come a long ass way and I personally know he can handle Modding IMHO. Definitely Mod material!!

[RagingRandy]

Question.....What is the main function of a mod? If it is to delete and ban idiot posters who post up sources and intervene in flame wars? If so, why does BB experience mean anything, whether it be training or supplement use?

A member whether mod or not should contribute what he/she knows. That is what makes this forum work. The forum works because all members contribute. Not because you wait for the holy word of a mod to come and give you a stamp of approval. This is what I have like about this forum as opposed to others.

Oh and I am OK with having a fag mod. SO I am OK with MR.O.

[Mr Ontario]

I personally don't think we needs Mods either. It's been self regulating so far.
and there is bigger fags on here then me :)


Question.....What is the main function of a mod? If it is to delete and ban idiot posters who post up sources and intervene in flame wars? If so, why does BB experience mean anything, whether it be training or supplement use?

A member whether mod or not should contribute what he/she knows. That is what makes this forum work. The forum works because all members contribute. Not because you wait for the holy word of a mod to come and give you a stamp of approval. This is what I have like about this forum as opposed to others.

Oh and I am OK with having a fag mod. SO I am OK with MR.O.

[RagingRandy]

there is bigger fags on here then me :)
I am sure you know them all.:mock

[Houstonbc]

and there is bigger fags on here then me

geez i wouldnt go that far! jk

[BDH]

why does BB experience mean anything, whether it be training or supplement use? Um, because this is a BB board... there are ton of nerds out there- you know... the typical live in your grandma's basement kind of people- who spend their life posting on msg boards... they have oodles of msg board experience... some could probably run circles around MP as far as the use of vbulletin boards go... BUT, I sure as **** wouldnt want some dumbass who has tons of chat room experience deciding whether Mr O should be admonished cuz he flamed Fergie about his stovetop... nor do I want the same shit bird telling me to stop talking about so and so's lab on the board...

Same reason former football players end up doing commentary and/or managing the team... because they know the inner workings better than anyone and have been around through the good and the bad... not only is it smart business, it's a matter of showing respect for those that came before you...

My original question was not answered. "What is the function of a mod?" That should guide who should be mod. If a mod is supposed to simply settle flame wars a respected member would be a better choice than someone with BB experience. If BB experience is why mods are selected at other boards maybe that is why there is more flaming than real information. Seems to me this board has better info and less flaming than boards with mods.

I totally agree with you. The mod status gives notoriety to the person, so people tend to listen to them more. If they don't know what they're talking about, they could induce people in error and make them do stupid things, like intratesticular injections.

I vote NO to preparation-H

It's kind of ironic that the only part of the board that seems to need moderation is the Moderater Application sub-forum.

If I was put in charge I would have my minions build a pyramid in my honour. Ancient egyptians were pretty small so I figure we could have it done in half the time :).

Moderaters get paid?

Are you being serious? It's like a real job?

[Seth]

nah, lol. The only thing you get out of being mod is the power, respect and notoriety. Which is all relative, you can become disrespected for some decisions and sometimes the notoriety is about how bad you are. There may be some bribes in products like mentioned before

pyramids...thats a great idea....

Anyone that takes a mods advice simply because they have that title is a fool. I still do not believe that it is the PRIMARY responsibility of a mod to dispense advice. As the name (moderator) suggests, they are to moderate for flaming, source posting, and the like. Also, a mod would not be acting on his\her own behalf but on the behalf of MP. They should operate as he does.

The purpose of a mod is to be a trusted member of the community, that can mediate arguments, offer advice based on years of both street and book smarts, give an opinion as to the quality of certain companies, etc...

Randy, how long have you been frequenting BB boards? Not trying to start a scrap with you, but if you've never had to PM a mod to check on someones credentials, then maybe this discussion is one you shouldnt be sticking your nose into...

Calling me a bonehead and the like sure seems like you are trying to start something. If you looked at my original post you would have seen that my original question was "What is the function of a mod?". If a mod is what you have stated that is fine. I have no issues. I was asking for someone to define this as how they thought it should apply here. I gave my definition of what I think a mod should be.

For me, I will NEVER rely on a mods advice simply because they are a mod. I have been around long enough to see that mods are bought and influenced by certain companies. I have had to PM others to check up on people, but once again I would not rely simply on the "say so" of a mod.

If this is what its like applying, imagine being a mod......thankless job...:flowers

I feel that the mod position is one in which has a people person in place, to keep the peace and trolls at bay...Other than that this board tends to moderate itself quite a bit...All in all i see a very mature group here that enjoys a good laugh, and having fun....When it is time to be serious, the members moderate pretty well with any outside interests and negative influences...
Any scammers or people pimping products to hard or newbies asking questions that they should not ask on open forums, or LE sniffin around, are noticed quickly and called out...I think that says a lot about the quality of this board IMO...
All in all this is a great board with a lot of potential, mods wont make a huge wave on this board neither for the good nor bad...

The whole point of a moderator is that it SHOULD be someone you can trust. Someone you feel safe asking a question to. You should be able to turn to a mod for the simple reason that the Admin wouldnt have put this person in place had he NOT been able to trust him. Thats what the mod status means in my experience.

And, for the record, never once when I was mod was I offered anything special, freebies or anything of the sort.

[Mr Ontario]

With the mods changing every three months..it will be hard to keep trusting new people.

[RagingRandy]

It is the SHOULD part that I have a problem with. But what I have seen happen is that people misuse the power given. If you even question what a mod says you are slammed from all sides and even banned in some instances. I understand that newbs to any board should not start talking shite to mod\vet or even general member. This is disrespect.

This is why I feel that if you let mods simply moderate the forums and not elevate them to a superior status this community would be better off. We are here to share info and our experiences. I doubt many of us have MD following our names so most of our experiences will be our own personal journey. So, advice given must always be taken with a grain of salt, as what we are doing is carrying out experiments on ourselves.

Remember the rules
1-you cannot be a source or associated with a lab. Do not put this site in danger.

No Nexus shill mods please..

I don't want to see any empire bunk pimped here.Please enlighten me, oh great one... what is this HUGE problem you have with Empire??? After using Empire for several years, I am curious to see what happened to you.

I assume some EVIL Nexus mod recommended Empire to you... OMG!!! How terrible of him to recommend a quality lab...

My understanding is that BAM got some bunk gear from the lab...I believe he posted his feedback several times on at least 2 sites.
Anyhow not for me to get involved.


As far as the so called "voting" process and sole purpose of this thread...well a joke IMO---just judging by most comments and the amount of pages.
Obviously this open door has not been taken seriously by any of the members here.
There has been plenty of jokes, backstabbing, personal opinions, unprofessional advice, teaming.....whatever.



B2J

[O-Train]

So, who's running and how do we vote?

I think the original point of this thread was to accept applications so that MP would know who was interested. Then he could create a poll thread where people could vote and select one mod and he selects the other one. That's my understanding anyways.

For the record I'm not interested. Although I wouldn't mind having special powers. I've been watching the first season of Heroes for the last couple days, first time I've seen it.

[BDH]

Hammer.. I've always respected your opinion and your word, but I will say that I fully believe you're one of the lucky few. Empire made it's way out to my neck of the woods for a breif stint, and within a matter of 3 months no one would even go near it. Not to mention reviews around numerous boards were sub-par, to say the least.

Now with that being said, I've never used Empire, so I cannot give any personal feedback.. Just going on what I heard first-hand from a large number of local users that were quite unhappy.Wow! I am honestly shocked to hear this. Flex, you and I have spoken several times about my buddies and I using strictly Empire, only because it was the most readily available. Never once had a problem with it. I did, however, hear of someone offloading shit-ass Empire gear, but it wasnt from the original dude.

Anyway, this is neither the thread nor the board for that discussion. I guess this DOES prove that perhaps a mod didnt purposely screw you, Bam... maybe he legitimately thought he was pointing you in the right direction...

Oh yeah, Flex... I am still in shock that our friend refused to talk to you on the phone... I am going to e-mail him a pic of you everyday until he promises not to break your legs...

[BDH]

****, dude... if I could have, I would... he was behind the bar and I couldnt reach him..lol

I will be like Mariah Carey and Make It Happen...

[BAM]

Empire sucks and anyone that ever pimped it has no integrity. Perhaps they have reinvented themselves, but a few years ago you couldn't find a less potent product than that empire garbage. In fact, I feel like creating an effigy of the person behind that lab and setting it ablaze on my front yard, putting it out with a giant stream of red wine induced urine, followed by squatting over its head and taking a huge steamy dump in its wanting mouth.

[BDH]

I disagree...

[St]

With the mods changing every three months..it will be hard to keep trusting new people.


Ya that could happen. Hammer would be good mod,since i was afraid of UG stuff when i can to cjm,he told me in threads,as well as Carl,and p.s.People in the gym that sold there mex,or hg gear would talk shit about how UG was bad,and people were getting infection,and Hammer set the story straight.

[5151]

I like the idea of subforum specific mods.
I'll mod the nutrition/supplementation board. I'm an immature douchebag who doesn't believe in bans or censorship will this be a problem?
To be honest I don't think I've interacted with anyone on this board with over 500 posts.

[tex]

i want to be mod of the porn and firearms section......

[Mr Ontario]

what do you have a for a legal firearm ?

now now it may not be registered LMAO

[deleteduser0001]

Remember that once one become a mod, it will last for 3 months then you are a regular member again and 2 other mods will be chosen.

without reading through the entire thread, what would be the point of this? so we can share power? so I can hate a new person every few months?

[tex]

what do you have a for a legal firearm ? just the howitzer in my pants.....but its legality is debatable.....ladies have told me that it should be illegal

hahahh real smooth there tex :p

Mr.O's not so subtle attempt at asking for a pic.

hahhah I was thinking the same thing,

wait until mr.o becomes a mod, hes gonna be asking for picks of everyones. and if we dont he takes out his ban hammer :P

[UkrainianGuy]

concept of being a mod varies i suppose, but ultimately you want members participating / contributing which should be encouraged. When a member steps over the line warnings are required and thus if they go unheeded discipline. I have been reading this thread, and jokes about banning and the hammer etc.. fun and games, but no mod should want to ban a member, they should work with the members and try to guide them down the right path... well in my mind anyways lol

and for the dumbasses banning yes, but the term would be "time out" for a few weeks hoping that member has learned their lesson when or if they return...

there are always more details the deeper one looks
:cool:

[gsxr750]

I'll mod but only to delete first posts with no stove.. oh and those first posts with a picture of a couple grand in gear asking if it's any good.

[Mr Ontario]

You guys just want me to asks for pics so you can see for yourself lol :)

This is very true and goes for managing, or leading, or modding any group of people....same concept applies....2 in 10 , there are normally 2 people in every group of 10 that need extra HELP if you will...
I manage people for a living and have to live this every day....as much as some people get pissed at mods, there is something to be said for their patience for ther most part imo (there are asshole mods)...its like a step system, warning, warning with a good chat, warning with discipline, then ban....or firing...
but as with any good manager, its the ones that you can turn around and help to act proper in the culture you have joined , that truly shows how good you are...some truly are unhelpable, definitely not most...but some.
anyone can ban and be a power freak, but the good ones can help show the troubled another way,,, through empathy, and good coaching abilities..

[Drummer]

id apply but im BRAND new here. If i could transfer posts/time/experience from other boards i would, but until then, ill just post away and say EH a lot. I was invited to mod before, but i refused, just stuck around and helped new guys out. SOOOO lets see who wins the postitions!

[Van Zan]

Testing

[L3]

so uhm i'd like to nominate myself...i haven't been on the scene for too long but my job allows me to browse the boards pretty much all day.
from what ive seen there is only one major problem which requires mod involvement and thats source fishing, which doesnt happen too often.
a minor one is threads not being posted in the right subforum. usually i see this happening with various articles/research being posted in the more popular sub-forum so more people will read the threads..but there is a reason why we have a dedicated subforum for that.
:)

[Seth]

I agree source fishing is annoying, but thats mainly a "first post" issue. I think product pimping is worse. I remember seeing several posts saying how they receive unsolicited PMs and emails. IMO that's what's really dangerous; scammers, fake products, or genuine but unsafe sources

[Kronis]

I don't really care who's a mod as long as they don't bring any personal business to it.

We just need someone to edit/delete threads that reveal a little too much and to ban the occasional troll.

Whoever gets chosen shouldn't take things too seriously, the last thing we want here is an authoritarian douche bag like some of the guys you see at bigger boards.

[Deezzl]

Mod me.....

Obviously I fall short of the 500 post count (for now) but anyone who knows me knows that I am a stand up guy.....and wont be a prick...but when things need to be 'cleaned' up then ....

I wasn't going to apply. But on second thought. If I can at least lock down threads till MD or other more senior mods has a look at them and do it anonymously, then I'm applying.

I'd also love to be giving mod status to dole out a few spankings too.:puff

I can guarantee you I will NOT be mod here... I am modding 3 other boards already and do not have the time... I also am well aware of the fact that I am not popular with some of the more protective members here... the old school guys who know me are fine, but these little guys yelling "this is our board! I dont want no strangers runnin it" hate me. It would be stupid for me to even bother.

[BAM]

Or..

Could it be that a bunch of people see you as someone on nexus who was in a trusted position at one point and told everyone that empire bunk gear was.. gtg?
Perhaps they do not want that stigma associated with this board.

There was no indication in your comment on humility that it was a joke. BTW my comment was not directed specifically at you. If your "no sense of humor" comment was directed at me, please take the time to read some of my posts. I crack me up sometimes. :)

Perhaps they do not want that stigma associated with this board.Well, considering I was only mod there for a short period and, during that time, I used almost exclusively Empire gear, how do you figure I swerved you?

I havent used Empire in just over a year but NEVER had a problem with it. I would bet money that you didnt get it direct from Empire, did you?

I didnt make an accusation, you did. Read some of MY posts. For someone with more than double the posts that I have, you mustnt read the board that much... I have posted quite frequently lately and my sense of humour is very apparent.

I'm thinking the cycling of mods is what will solve the problems with unliked mods. But please, one thing we must all understand is that CBB is all our board. It is the perfect name to be found by totally new people searching google. It brings in a lot of new fresh faces. MN got really hard to promote after the busts. CBB is clean and runs smooth. I just need help with monitoring threads. Politics is something that will not be part of CBB.

I moderate every single member that signs up here. That was the only way to stop the crazy amount of spam bots. That means I have to pass here often during the day to moderate new accounts. Some mods can help me validate new members and get the board flowing.

And for the record, when I used Empire I was happy with the results. But it was way back in 2004-2005 so I can't speak about the more recent stuff. BDH was a good mod on MN and a great asset to any board. Just as the rest of you are. I hope we can move forward and get CBB to be as big, if not bigger than MN ever was.

[MuSuLPhReAk]

And the first 2 mods have been chosen already and notified. Their term starts March 1st. Announcement will be a few days before they come aboard.

looks like my invite got lost in the mail can you resend :D

Firstly I think BDH has a right to be proud of himself (thats different from being full of himself) because he has accomplished more with the use of his body and training than most people on here have. I also find BDH to be very diplomatic although opinionated he is smart about how he gives his opinions. Sometimes the truth hurts. Mods are not here to baby sit or pamper your feelings. They are here to ensure a level of order is upheld. I for one am looking forward to the new mods starting. I don't really give a rat's ass who is mod, as long as they are fair, diplomatic and don't play favorites. I know, from being in MP's position that can be a very daunting task to accomplish sometimes with moderator selection.

[BDH]

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.

Mr Freeze and Gustavo are the first mods. I have to set up the access rights correctly for the usergroups and they'll be brought on for 3 months. After their term is over, I'll bring on another 2 and so on. We'll see how it goes and adjust as needed until the board runs smooth.

[faller]
