Moderators?

[EJW12345]

Are there still moderators on this site? If there are, are they employed direct by Mumsnet or are they members that volunteer themselves for the role? How do you become a moderator on this site?

I would happily mod the local boards. I would take great delight in deleting all the ads and messaging the perps things like "did you not realise your spam is extremely irritating to the good folk of MN?" and "you're very welcome to post your ad. That'll be £50 please!" and "you can sod off with you're 3 year long event that is not even an event - you cheapo chancer!"

I suspect this is why I would not be allowed...

Tee, I think they did!!

No way José.

Olivia.

Are you original Olivia, or are you a new Olivia?

I've just noticed an L in your name.

Katie is that really what it's like on the local boards?

I am a mod.

Please do PM any gossip concerns and I will inform others look into it for you.

Not on my local board! We have an excellent Tsarina who looks after local threads. My beef is with the event listings that appear in the bottom right corner. I have to say Richmond's have been excellent for the last couple of months once all the ads and general crap was removed. They are now useful.

I thought extra effort was going to go into the local boards. Our opinions were canvassed. It's all gone quiet since then.

I think they're busy working on it. Better something really good than a rush job. In the mean time there's always the report button on iffy listings

OliviaL.

I think you need numbers in your name.

All the cool kidz are doing it.

Chaos- you advertising your age again?

According to Olivia, she is still the same Olivia but had a Samuel L Jackson moment at some point.

I, personally, hope it wasn't during childbirth as that would just be disturbing for all concerned.

::Tee hopes she is remembering correctly that Olivia recently returned from maternity leave and not some other member of staff::

::recently in Tee's head being the last 6 months or so::

Seems to be some 'moderating' being used tonight. [buhmm]

SNF, doya think I'm an OAP?

OOh Hissboo, do tell more...

The gamey slippers and zimmer tend to give it away Chaos!

Really hissboo ,is it kicking off somewhere I don't know about?

Chaos. Somebody is very ill in Singapore. A thread was started and then deleted because let's just say that he doesn't have many friends. Google is your friend, in particular breaking news.

the Mugabe thread was really in pretty poor taste hissboo- it's indicative of how self moderation works.

See something that is offensive- and wishing someone a long and painful death is offensive imho- and then report it.

Not sure I understand why certain posts weren't deleted instead of the entire thread, which is or was the usual policy. Threads do seem to be deleted rather than posts removed more during evenings and weekends. Which makes me think there is more actual moderating going on these days.

Because we have similar before and Oh My God, they become horrific, very quickly. Better to get rid of the whole thing and be done with it

Yes to Samuel L Jackon
Mat leave quite a long time ago now been back since Aug.
My ickle bay-bee is a bruising great toddler who ate a whole child's portion at a pub lunch today SEVENTEEN months old tomorrow (sniff)

I said it might have been 6 months ago...I was only off by 2 months!

I know the feeling. My ickle baby is nearly 3 and half my height. Of course, I'm only 5'2"!

Did you mean me CanCant? - I was never a mod - I've only been here 6 years...
