On a serious note I'm a mod to provide an administrative service to this forum. Being a mod is not being a Policeman. Being a mod, is not to be a boss of the forum. Being a mod is not a privilege. Whoever understands it that way, have no clue about what moderation of a forum is. And if one forum put people that feel like that in a forum as a mod, it's a question of not if but when the forum will lose lots of members and popularity.

As I've said, I don't see this as a privilege, a power. I do it because I want to help. But if that's really a problem, I don't have problems in resigning, because this are my main goals in this forum

1) Learn about LFC
2) Practise English
3) Post info if I feel it's relevant for the mates.

I don't need to be a mod to achieve my main goals here. So, Sabre will be a mod as long as the forum mates want it that way. I couldn't care less about being a mod or not, in fact, it's not very exciting to click repeteadly delete on the porn links.

I'm grateful to Ciggy because I like her too (:hearts and all that ) and especially because she has been honest in saying she dislikes that decission. I like honest people and she has been. She didn't have to find a pretext like my signature had a RS flag, or I said "so what". I respect you Ciggy, you had a more manly and valiant attitude than some people. Respect.

And my job as a mod, is at your entire disposition. Quite simply.

Sabre mate your cool, I havent any problems with you being mod. I think your doing a s.hit job well mate 

Just thought I'd let you know so you dont feel to disheartenred, by the way I think you should remove old Adrian boy from your sig as he is a cockney

Should have gone to Woof TBH.
But its none of my business anyway.

Maybe I'll come back in a few months maybe not.

Sabre wrote:I just was congratulating Ciggy for being honest, so there's no point in discussing personal details about his life,. All that is irrelevant. I respect all the posters just because they're LFC fans and post their views here, their private life is that, private, and I don't need private details about someones life to respect him as a poster.

There's something I don't get. And I like you or somebody explain me how it works. Dawson can comment that all mods are geeks. Or he can comment that I'm too nice to be mean.

Which is nice.

Stu tells me that I'm a top bloke, but I need to show a more aggressive face sometimes.

Which is nice.

Woof can describe me as a "Spanish bint" (with or without smileys), or compare me with the ferret of a budweisser advert,  he can call a RS flag a rag, and he can say "If I was face to face, I'd smack the cúnt (Sabre)". I can find quotes of woof towards me before and after "I started the problem", if you see what I mean.

Which is nice.

But then Sabre says "so fúcking what " and it's a terrible aggression? I just don't get it. It seems that this game has some strange rules "Sabre can receive stick, but he cannot fight back".

When Sabre says what he thinks he's not the harmless-always helpful-geekish-too nice to be mean anymore and he becomes a terrible aggressor?

I like to be helpful and I respect people by default. They don't need to fight a war to earn that respect, they have that respect just because of being Liverpool fans.

But Peewee, when someone talks about me and I don't like it, I have the right to answer back. I don't do that often, in fact, I'm known for being too nice. ut there's sometimes when you say enough is enough. If he treats me with respect, that's what he'll get, if he doesn't well, he'll face Sabre, the harmless-geekish-too nice to be mean fella. What's the problem? cannot be much worse than Pol Pot and Camboya, can it? 

P.S. After rereading my answer I don't want you get me wrong. Despite I think his private life is irrelevant for this forum matter, that doesn't mean I don't respect his deeds. In fact I have a good reason to not only respect but be grateful to the english military, my grandpa's life was saved by an english official that volunteered to come to Spain. It's very important for me, but it's irrelevant for this matter.

Woof also took issue with Sabre as a mod here and didn't like it when I said Sabre being from Socidead and having affections for his home time club did not disenfranchise him from the mod job, which is largely a tedious administrative job where personal judgement and a level head and not football knowledge or allegiance is the defining factors. Sabre, in my opinion, is an excellent choice for moderator, and I am more qualified than most to give my opinion on this, given that I moderated here for almost two years.

I don't buy Ciggy's reasoning for her son coming on to this site as a reason for her not posting here any longer.

Unfortunately I seem to be the only person here who thinks that Ciggy and Woof have acted like spoiled brats over this. If they aren't happy with the decision of LFC to appoint Sabre as a moderator or so called "Wind up merchants" then they can vote with their feet and not post here, fine, thats their decision, but I kept my counsel manys a time as a moderator when Ciggy and Woof (and indeed others) got away with repeated rule breaking and childish hissy fits just because they are popular long time posters. I've witnessed both Ciggy and Woof giving people the sharp end of their tongue when things didn't go their way, abusive behaviour that has seen the likes of Stu banned numerous times.
