Don't confuse the masses, that's just a black healthy hole!

You lock close or bin it your balls are no longer yours!

[EvilBastard]

It's bad enough we let them vote, but they want to be allowed to moderate too? It's political correctness gone mad, I tell you...

[Being645]

It's called gender mainstreaming ... ...

[EvilBastard]

Gender bollocks, more like - it's not bad enough that some dozy twit from the Liberal Democrats is whining about people using airbrushes on pictures in advertisements (this dozy twit happens to be the shadow spokesperson on Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs - and people wonder why the LibDems, despite having some eminently sensible policies, have never made it into government).

Experts have already proved that airbrushing contributes to a host of problems in women and young girls such as depression and eating disorders.

She doesn't cite any of these experts, nor explain exactly how the use of art supplies causes problems in women (perhaps it's the phallic shape of the thing, I don't know. She didn't respond to my email yet).

Stick 'em in a hat, with a parasol, and let them swan about at garden parties discussing kittens or whatever. But FFS don't give them anything more taxing than that - can you imagine the mess they'd get us into?!

To quote Henry Enfield: "Women! Know your limits!"

No it isn't. And don't any of you forget it.

The Heartland Committee for Board Security has spoken!

I'm being repressed! See the violence inherent in the system!

[Quiff Boy]

we appoint mods when we feel an extra mod is necessary

potential mods are chosen on several criteria

1) level headed & fairness - quelling arguments, impartiality etc

2) peer respect - do other HLers take them seriously? will others listen to them when they have their mod hats on?

3) technical competence - are they able to perform the admin tasks adequately? locking/deleting threads, banning users etc

4) time zones - it's always handy to have mods in other timezones (especially the ones further away from GTM) so they can look after the place when we are all asleep

if we (me & the current mods) see a need for another mod, and we can think of someone that meets those criteria, we will discuss it and then invite them to join the team

mods are not chosen based on gender, and i do not feel the need to appoint a female mod purely for the sake of it. that would be tokenism and positive discrimination. and a bit silly really

and truth be told, i don't feel the need to appoint any more mods at present. the current team (:notworthy:) have matters in hand, and the place has become fairly self-moderating anyway over the years

so whilst all your suggestions have been noted, i'll be honest and say they are unlikely to be actioned any time soon...

that is all.

[Quiff Boy]

and while i'm at it i'll pop this in the 'feedback' section...

[Being645]

Yeah, and violence against women, of course ... goes just like anything.


Gender War instead of Gender Mainstreaming ... ...

(and only because one half of the population is not confronted with their
own blood, regularly ... )

Violence? What, are you planning a revolution?

[Quiff Boy]

Violence? What, are you planning a revolution?

so you understood that?

i didn't really get a word of it. i assumed it was a reply to post further back up the thread

revolution?

[markfiend]

I didn't understand it, no. Just picked one word out and "riffed" on it.

[Chairman Bux]

Are you suggesting Heartland lacks a feminine touch?

If you can find a mentally stable female Heartlander, then maybe we'd consider it.

Good luck with the search.

[Chairman Bux]

I didn't understand it, no. Just picked one word out and "riffed" on it.

One more than usual then.
