Hi,

Yes, I need help moderating this forum, and Hills has put his hat in the ring to assist, and I'd be keen to accept.

Any objections, or other nominations?

Thanks,
Laurie

Fine by me

Gosh Guy's what a pitty it has come to this - thanks Laurie for coming up with the offer to have another moderator rather than just deciding that the landyacht forum is not worth the headache and pulling the pin on us all.

Personally guys I think all the name calling and personal attacks are way out of line and make you look like a bunch of school boy's. I think it is time to grow up.

How about we start some new threads with some reasonable questions and reasonalbe answers? We do not have to agree...thats the good thing about debate...the opportunity to put forward a different perspective and enlighten. Not to mud sling - lets leave that up to the politicians in Canberra.

Starting new threads will let the ones with shamefull comments in drop down and hopefully die away.

Lets all take on board some lessons learnt from this and clean up our acts, listen to moderator comments, pay head of other forum users feedback (thumbs up, thumbs down), sleep on a post over night before going ahead and posting and importantly when we do over step the mark being man (or woman) enough to say sorry and/or delete the post.

Who is definately not intested in being part of what I have seen over the last week. But who is optomistic that we are all better than this and things will improve.

Thanks for the comments people!

I agree with you Promo Girl and to that end I'd like people to also consider her for the moderator's role if she's ineterested of course, hence I nominate Promo Girl.

Who knows perhaps theres enough momentum here to have 2 LY moderators!

Mine To , Hope it never gets to this stage again.
Cheers

You might want to have a look in the mini yacht thread too.

Thanks - done.

Now that the dust is starting to settle how independant are you going to be

I'll do my best and eagerly await your feedback on my performance!

no problems with that,but would hate to see personalities clashes

"challenge" or maybe suggest other points of view-like my recent post regards the construction of a mini (Cisco -I took the liberty of using a photo of Diablo )

Hey Hills, welcome to the extra buttons and the 'grey areas' of moderation.

Pity you're in SA, we've almost got enough moderators for a moderator's party. Let us know if you're ever in town and we should all catch up for a beer.

Hillsy "yo da man!"
