They will become active in the next couple of days, please give them your full support.

They will receive the support they deserve based on their actions as mods (fairness, unbiasness, not being trigger happy with bans, stuff like that)

You left at least one fair and unbiased mod candidate on the sidelines...

Андреас ? Who the fuck is him?

[scoobs]

He's Andreas. Who the fuck are you?

[BigJohn]

I would like to share this good rep from @Sweet Cleopatra (for my post above)

I agree, they didnt even agree to make me a mod

Just making sure everybody understands I did not mean her in my post.

[samanosuke]

what i have to do to become a mod ?

[adal]

andreas? he is a secret troll who wants to take over mtf to make it a complete trollfest (not that it isn't already, but it's going to be much worse, believe me).

do not trust a word he says. he is a fake bitch.

im out
peace

First step is usually to apply when we put a call out for them.

I'm Grassquet and I find it very offensive that you didn't give me the mod position even if I didn't apply.
You sucks badly scoops.
Aren't you ashamed?

The best thing we can do is go on with our daily routine.

Whats to congratulate - three people have been granted a position, but for all one knows these people could be well-known favoured names who were shoe-horned in regardless of who applied.

These things are as democratic as a North Korean election - that's why I never bothered applying myself.

With respect, Adey, I'm more than happy with a top tennis tipper and Miss MTF. But we'll judge by results.

I agree that perhaps the names of the unsuccessful candidates could be published for greater transparency.

I don't know the people involved - and am not criticising them personally.

But does your happiness extend to the fact that we don't know why they were chosen, how many others applied, why were these three chosen over others, everyone was given consideration, if not why not, what criteria were they picked on, etc, etc - surely that's the kind of democracy that should be shown on every one of these things where everyone 'supposedly' has a chance.

I am yet to witness this happen in any of these things where applications are offered and as such didn't waste my time bothering applying myself as I'd stand zero chance as I'm not a popular name with loads of mates in the right places so I'll never be able to be picked for anything like this - and my point still remains that all of these things on MTF are always given to favoured well known candidates regardless of whoever applies and newer people are never ever given any chance whatsoever at these things, without consideration that an unknown non-favoured name can possibly do much better at and improve things to the way they have been done in the past and contribute and make vast improvements in areas but are never given a chance of a look in in the first place.

When there's transparency in these things then there might be reason to congratulate - but I most certainly will not congratulate the usual likely shoe-horn in's until transparency is shown.

You know that is a great idea! So great I'm sure it will never happen But at least if not putting out the names for the whole Forum to see I think all the people that applied should know who they are running against? I don't think that is a bad idea at all, but I don't think even that will ever happen
