Welcome!

Desideria (Moderator) (Trustee board) says on Jun 18, 2009, 01:16:

Ahhhhh finally!
WELCOME Bill Turley to the mod team. As a member of the trustee board and frequent contributor you know the crowd. We're all thrilled to have you to help us; none happier than CG who's in the same time zone approximately:) (Maybe I should follow Goin_south's advice now and go into a silent mod mode now....)

En buenahora Bill. As the latter moderator to be appointed, you got the duty to moderate other moderators who often got a quick finger and as everybody bad days.

They used to say that whenever three Mexicans got together one of them declared himself "general" and started a revolution...here we could say that whever three PBHers get together one of them wants to be a mod. (Peter says that anybody ASKING to be a mod is probably just not suitable for the job....:))

Very nice guy and never heard a word of contempt on here from his side, but IMO but doesnt spend nearly the time on here needed to moderate unless he can dedicate more hours on here.. the dedication and iron fist needed on here can be grueling! Good Luck regardless!

Bill is the voice of reason and the right man,cometh the hour cometh the man.
However I'm surprised Monsieur Darloup was overlooked as he seems to have carte blanche to say anything he likes,without moderation.

RAAAY says on Jun 18, 2009, 11:32:

Good stuff Bill.........I'm not sure why anyone would want the Mod job considering the measly $125,000 salary. I know that Brians gave it up, due to his unhappiness at being supplied with a crappy BMW, instead of the nice Merc that Desi gets. I trust that you negotiated a better renumeration package.

Now that you have control of the good buttons, I will PM you with a list of fookers to banish off the site.

I will send another list of troublemakers for you to keep an eye on. This list will include such un-desireables as manderson, Gringoloid, Billy, Aaron, Miguel-Clavo, Sapo and a few others. Hadderman will be safe, he talks a lot of sense, as in a few comments above. I'm not too sure yet what to do with Darloopy..........maybe we should keep him around for another little while, just for the comedy factor.

All the best,

Your very good, no, great friend,

Ray.
