You (Dave), Trev, and Ian are liked and respected, i never said anything any different. But you are human.

It's a bit like who is good enough marry your daughter? Answer, no one.

Window washers, squeaky, shiner would all make excellent mods, and not one of them would do it the same as any of you.

On a personal note I would like to see a mod who would stand up to admin on occasion.

That is comforting to know, you wouldnt think so at times. I would liken it to being on a battlefield, you get a bit wary of popping your head up in case you got shot at.

After a hard days work , you would probably get into your porche , after waving goodbye to your lovelly wife , and reminding your kids how much there private education is costing , and think . . . . . . . . . " where did i go wrong "

Stand up and say what?

[Tosh]

I think you are great dave 

He's just been on the phone to me complaining about you lot giving him a tough time on this post.

Please desist! 

Dave is more sensitive than what you lot think.

[Clive McDonald]

Well share the burden then, and if it's that awfull don't guard it so jealously!!!!!!

Reading between the lines Mike Boxall will take suggested names under advisement. In other words you and Ian will have a major say in who does and who doesn't get the gig.

Give people a go, if they can't hack it, hoof 'em, but give them a chance.

Tosh; there have been a couple of times -poo too etc when Mike has been wrong. The mods hid behind, this is his site he does what he wants.

If squeaky gets it by the way your in for it!!!

As for a tough time if this has come across from me as a personal attack I apologise. All the more reason to spread the burden.

[Tosh]

Tosh; there have been a couple of times -poo too etc when Mike has been wrong. The mods hid behind, this is his site he does what he wants.

I'm not sure what situation you're talking about, but I do know that when Mike asks someone to 'mod', he gives no rules, guidelines or instructions; he just sends you a card at Christmas.

In the beginning, Mike wanted this site to be a quality window cleaning resource; no chat, no fun; just pure window cleaning; but has since relaxed this rule with the introduction of the off-topic area and the current mods now understand that most window cleaning posts start off 'on topic' and then invariably wander; they're here to ensure that offensive posts are removed mostly.

And if you want to be a mod, e-mail Mike and ask him; my only reservation about you is that you sound a bit over-zealous.  That would be a turn-off to many on this forum.

However, a volunteer is worth ten-pressed men; so send that e-mail!

[Clive McDonald]

Like everything else I do I would be brilliant at it. I mean it, quite brilliant.

However, I think ww, shiner, and squeaks are good representations of the forum and a better choice.

And then there is always yourself Tosh.

I'm glad to see that you have gotten your old gusto back anyway.

I dont do voting , but if i did the person on here who I respect the most is . . . . .Daveshaw !  He is always willing to help , and despite beating to a pulp anyone who goes on his patch , he is always positive with his advice , and he tries his best to help anyone starting up

I am not guarding anything, i dont even mod this section.

SJM

I think your great to

Tosh

Nice talking to you, Its your round next if i remember correctly

[Pj]

I think Ian Giles does a pretty good job on his own when he's not wandering round some cricket pitch!

You need someone like him, I have no idea what he's like in the real world but on here he's a pretty good example 99% of the time.  No messing, makes a judgement call at a good time, when absolutely necessary explains why he has deleted or stepped in on a topic.  Pretty sound.

Only problem is when he posts his own opinion on something - usually half a page long!

Keep it up Ian

[Trevor Knight]

Thank u Trevor.

Hope the business is going well.

I might take up your invite one day and pop over to see you.

Always welcome Rob!

[Trevor Knight]

Anyway I have got thick skin so can take it.

Dave, You know what I do on weekends throughout the football season, believe me, I am not standing down due to "stick" as this is a walk in the park compared to that, however, I am simply resiging because of the amount of postings we are having to delete that in all honesty shouldn't have even been written, you know yourself how many abusive, pointless and off topic postings we remove!!

I just don't have the time anymore??

[Pj]

Thanks for your contribution Trevor.  A pretty thankless task

[Moderator David@stives]

I agree Trev

I think i counted about 10 reported posts on one day last week and I have only just started recieving the email complaints from your section in the last week or two so can imagine how many you have had to deal with over the last couple of years.

Dave

[Trevor Knight]

Just to prepare you Dave, l have on average 3/5 reported posts per day not to mention the one's who don't get reported that you have to scan for.

I think my worst was about 6 months ago when a certain topic served me with 18 reported post notifications!!

Good luck mate!

[nat]

why oh why does admin not recruit more mods then? its clear to see that the amount this section has is clearly struggling!!

[windowwashers]

See what i mean, as a mod it is hard to have an associated interest in window cleaning without being attacked.

I moderate the non related section and no longer promote the APWC on any forum for those very reasons.

Mods are fair game and if you are selling a service or goods it can become a double edged sword.

As for Window Washers I wouldnt like to comment on any individual, apart from the redirecting of work is a paid service is it not ?

Moderators are allowed opinions but you have to think long and hard before you post that opinion.

If you look back at Trevors post he got a verbal bashing, I can fully understand why he stood down, Ian Giles regularly comes under fire as do I and the other mods.

Anyway I have got thick skin so can take it.

Good reply Dave, by the way I was not attacking you I was just making a point.

Ian
