Uh oh guys, God himself has paid us a visit....
Now we are under the microscope and the future will be different.
(I suppose we could not just vote out Danny and his pack of Moderators, could we... )
Well, lets see, how do we deal with this here new threat to Democracy, Happines and Freedom of speech????
(Relax boss, that was just a friendly wind-up, no reason to pull out the big guns and shoot down the TowerDog for life...
)
Aye, better thread lightly here, already got a loud and clear remark from the almighty when I questioned the ban on scab-lists on the "Freight Dog Forum".
The secret to success in the aviation business is that when yer names comes across the Chief Pilots desk, he will ask? WHO is that, never heard of him before...
Too late around these pages, unless of course the whole mess can be blamed on a junior guy....

Danny because you recognise 4 words from different places in a post - don't assume that they are connected into one sentence.
I do not recall any negative remarks directed at you in any language i recognise
There have been some nasty, personal attacks going on here from a few individuals - and I think that the angry remarks here are about these posts - and our ability to handle/ignore them ourself - not about Ryan Air reports etc.
Regards
Michael

Sorry to ask, but what is a 'Scab list' - not that I expect to come across such a thing, but Longmans Dictionary talks about fungus and the like when looking for Scab..

Yes, ya are right bodstrup, scabs are a low life form like fungus and such.
In the pilot community scabs are those that has crossed picket lines.
"Streikebryter" in Norwegian.

A democracy is kept alive by exchange of opinions. You do not have to like what you hear, but you have to accept that other people have different opinion than yours. Having said that, I understand that for legal reasons the admin of pprune want to monitor the threads. Ok, so the policy is to have a moderator on all forums. The question is why can`t the scandinavians vote for their moderator. We are responsible enough to vote people into the Parliament. I guess we would be responsible enough to vote for our own moderator. Danny, we are nice people despite what the Vikings did 1000 years ago to your women. The concept is simple: We vote, you monitor, you don`t like, you remove our monitor. Fair deal. All in favour say yeah

YEAH Arctic, but it may be a lost cause:
To put our own mod in place may be like having the fox guard the hen-house..
Who would ya suggest for candidate anyway?
(Most of us travel and are unable to monitor threads on a regular basis I should think)
Flaps would be good since she speaks the language, but she is already busy running a tight ship over at JetBlast, and Allah knows that is a full time job...

Moderators are vetted for a long time before they are allowed anywhere near the controls for security reasons. If you want to vote for someone we need the list of candidates and they all have to be approved by an existing moderator or admin who will vouch for their credentials.
Just in case you were not aware, there is also a secret ceremony where the powers of moderation are passed to the new recruit and then they are beasted horribly for at least a week. You really don't want to know what they have to go through even before they start their moderator training and I have seen grown men cry when they have only heard of what happens, never mind actually go through it!
So, make sure your candidates are up to the job and that they are prepared to undergo rigorous security clearance and background checks. Unfortunately there will be no opportunity to 'resign' or be made 'redundant'. All moderators that cannot handle the job are 'recycled'. I can't tell you what that involves but if I did, I'd have to kill you!
Right, all volunteers for application take one step forward.

Uh Chief, the offer to step forward is extremly tempting, especially when the rewards are counted and mesured, but not sure that I or anybody I know could handle the pressure and the training.
That being said, I have a candidate in mind: He seems to have common sense and appears to be level-headed. (Don't know if that disqualifies him.. )
Let me introduce Nick Figaretto...Drum-Roll....
Hi Nick, think ya can handle it?
Hows about a poll for Nick as the new Scandi Mod...?

I too have seen grown men cry, but that involved rubber gloves and a falsetto rendition of 'Moon River'
Anyways, I nominate the Dog himself. An old buccaneer like him would be perfect in controlling the Viking hordes.

Uh, slow down there Techman...:
Guys like me are the reason PPRuNe., Inc needs a moderator at these latitudes.
Besides, how can I maintain my "one of the boys" status if I become the father figure AND the policeman??
(You boys would not respect me in the morning... )
Well, to put my money where my foot is, lets vote:
Uh, got to start a new thread for a proper vote meh thinks..
Stay tuned.

Well YAM, ya are a bit late.
Techman, being the quiet and shy guy he is, did not nominate himself, neither did anybody else until now.
We can however start more polls and those who come up on top, go to the semi-finals, then the finals etc.
Okay who else....Hmm, lets see YAM, do ya want to moderate yer fellow PPRuNe'rs?
Be the one in power? Shoot down in flames, then ban for life all the scumbags and rascals that does not agree with YOUR point of view??
Aye, the sweet taste of power...
Here is your chance...

Which bit about 'Despot' don't you lot understand? We have our procedures and that's it.
All this huggy wuggy democracy malarkey won't wear with me. To prove my point, I'm having the last word in this thread. I despotically vote that I should close this thread!
