Though I mainly view and only post occasionally, I like the way OLM mods this site and adds a sane perspective when things get heated. I'd like to add my support for OLM and repeat the call for him to reconsider stepping down. Stay with it OLM please!
Mind you OLM it comes to a pretty pass when someone from Leicester comes on and backs you... now if someone from TWS comes on and does the same then perhaps it is time to step down!! Just joking - hang on in there!
I also value your contribution to the board, Lamby. Now all we need is for someone to make me Moderator, given that I'm the only other City fan sad enough to have posted over 16,000 times in 20 months
OLM - don't let the bastards grind you down! I really enjoy coming on this site for info and the banter. I think you have done a top job on here, with your moderating and informative posts, thank you.
I get the feeling OLM won't change his mind this time, no matter how many new mods we introduce. Cheers for the past 19 months, you've kept every non-moronic poster happy at the very least.
Personally hoping that OLM does stay on. If I was doing it I'd very quickly reduce the numbers of poster by banning a few. I'm far too intolerant to do the job.
I can't see that happening to be honest! I have to say though, I don't think I'd stray too far from the OLM blueprint when it came to moderating. What can you really do apart from lock threads and delete posts? I might be sad, but there's a limit. Messing with the posts of others crosses the line
You seem pretty popular over on the sticky, you never know. And, Erik, seriously... when have you ever feared crossing the line
Modding and administrating any forum is usually a thankless task - only last week after 6 years as admin or mod on a large xbox forum i decided to quit . Its not the thanks or praise you look for but just that everyone can get along or at least co-exist without going mental . The worst part is when people dont think you can detach from being the footie fan/gamer to being a Mod , Got to add that this forum is being run really well !!
I only do that when it's less heavy handed than the alternative of deleting the post completely. (or to tidy up if someone has quoted a post that's been deleted)
