New Moderators

Alan Wheeler · 06-03-2008, 11:12

We are pleased to announce that we have starting today, a new team of moderators. Now that they have access to the Moderators Forum, I think a few have been supprised as to how much goes on behind the scenes. So while they learn the ropes and get used to what needs doing, I ask that members please cut them a little slack. They are bound to make a few mistakes and it will be just that, "mistakes", so don't take offense if one is made.
So please welcome,
Hud3

sneuman
GMac

Hope I didn't miss someone.
You will see the tag "Site Helper" under their name in their profile.

As the trumpets blare, rose petals thrown before their footsteps, and cheering from the masses...........

s/v Breakaway · 06-03-2008, 11:27

Aye, and an appreciative mass it is! Thanks for volunteering, boys.

David_Old_Jersey · 06-03-2008, 12:04

But I've got them all on "Ignore User" ???

Charlie · 06-03-2008, 12:43

Thanks to a knowledgable group of people for helping out on the site.

Pelagic · 06-03-2008, 12:49

But…but…but Alan, with your tutelage I’m sure their mistakes will take on that quaint and pleasing air of being less than “God-like”

I am sure we will enjoy theirs as much as we enjoy yours!

(just kidding!)

Alan Wheeler · 06-03-2008, 13:12

They will be seated to the right of my...I mean.. Andy's throne.

imagine2frolic · 06-03-2008, 13:45

Sorry about that. Just as soon as I can get my wife removed from the throne. You may have it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said Admiral, but she thinks Queen fits better

Southern Star · 06-03-2008, 13:45

Good group - and I echo the thanks to all for their efforts.

Congrats everyone!

**GMac** · 06-03-2008, 15:35

Oh the pressure

I as one of the newbies would like to echo Wheels comments about what goes on behind the scenes. I spent last night wondering around in a mysterious 'backroom' section. I was very surprised at how much actually happens back there. It is busy little place. I suppose I didn't really think about it too much but then I would have been light anyway after looking.

If I do make a mistake I will be more than happy to grovel and take the appropriate beating as required.

Now back to the backroom for more lessons before I push the wrong button and turn the Internet off. After that I will be found lying prone the feet of the Masters (existing Mods) as any good apprentice should

Thanks very much for the nice Welcome all. I just hope I do a good job for the board and all the many great posters.

Let's open a guns and anchor thread for them!

Zeus · 06-03-2008, 16:15

Let the flogging of the Newbs begin....whoooopish

**Janet H** · 06-03-2008, 16:18

Double rations for the new guys - thanks for volunteering!

**GMac** · 06-03-2008, 16:26

And I just upset my wife, apparently her new car 'is' more important than my new spinnaker, good golly how wrong can some people be.

So triple lashings for me by the looks. Not sure if that's a good thing or not
