Would you be a mod if you had the chance??

I probably shouldn't be a mod. I'd go crazy with the yellow cards, and then someone would accuse me of being part of the Old Boy's Network, except that I really would be part of the Old Boy's Network, and it would hurt my feelings instead of making me snicker....

Yep, this is true indeed, and said so eloquently.

Hey c'mon man. No hard feelings. I was just pokin fun because of your good ole boys statement. I'm over the whole disagreement thing. I just assume forgive and forget.

@ will hay - No the playa thing does NOT show too much respect for women. We have a self proclaimed "playa" here at work and he calls his girlfriends "bitches" or "Hoes" It's really kinda sick.

@ Defense - No ofense.

[tompika]

Nah, like I say pal

No, you are pal,...........defense is ntsc.

[defense]

No, you are pal,...........defense is ntsc.

look at the creative minds ....very smooth play on words there PLAYA!

[funkguy4]

Sure, I'd be a mod.

Anything to help the forum, though with these extraordinary mods I'd only be doing mod things just because I beat on of them to it, since I spend much time here as it is. Not for long though..*ugh* school.

What I can't get my head round is this....
....these playa's have two or three women at the same time, it's not a very stable thing, and seems to revolve around material things and sex.
Now listen, I'm fine with that, I'm not one to judge. People should now me by now insofar as I take people as I find them and if I have an opinion I share it, simple.
What I can't abide is, like you say, the lack of respect shown to women by these people.
And worst still, some of these women don't know about the other women the 'playa' has going on, right?
These women think they're in a stable relationship and when they find out are shattered, no?
Or am I missing the plot and both the 'playa' and the women know the deal?
As I say defense I'm not judging man, there's far worse shit in the world

I can't give you too much info on the game man.....at least not for free....because the game is to be sold...not to be told

I must sound like someone straight out of the UK equivelent of 'house on the prairie', but from where I come from this is totally alien to me, as is the entire culture of the 'playa'.
As you say it must go on in the UK but if it does it's a tiny, tiny minority because I honestly haven't heard of it.

I'm only seein' two different young ladies at this time...and barely spend time with either of them...but back in the day...up until a couple of years ago...well...you know how we do it.

I can honestly say other than the interpretation I've given I don't know how you do it, what the real benefit is (is it sex on tap, is it 'street cred' or is it 'financial reward'? I'm serious, I have no idea) and how common it is the US.
Is it specific to certain parts of the US, or is it widespread?
Is it frownd upon in middle America?

For what it's worth I don't think it was a jab pal, more of a 'building bridges attempt'

I'd say that once you reach 1K posts you should be offered it.

There are currently 48 members with 1000+ posts, thats a lot of mods, and attitude comes way above post count in the attributes required for a moderator.

[i_am_dave]

I still like the idea of putting a Blue Peter badge icon next to any poster that passes the 1000 mark,
Maybe a Silver Peter badge for 5000
and a Gold Peter badge for 10000

Perhaps, but if that was ever implemented then it should exclude posts of a non-video related topic.
That way people would know who contributes to the theme of the site.
My posts are up near 2000, but my site topical threads are nearer 1400.

Does having 78.75569% of my posts in the off topic forum make me a second class citizen?

[housepig]

is there a way to see a breakdown of your posts by forum?

if so, where?

[i_am_dave]

I just do a search for all posts by an author in the forum I am interested in.
you have 332 of 1445 in off topic.

No!!!!!!!! *begins to melt*

I figured one day people would realize I was just a figment of rallytbk's imagination sustained by everyone on the boards subconscious because they assumed I exist, but I never thought it would be so soon!
