A quick reminder from a MOD-
 

While emotions have been running high lately the MODS have all been doing their best to promote a dialog, but also keep the talks civil and respectful.

Sometimes it's a no win situation. We don't get paid anything (Okay, a $10 Amazon GC for Xmas) so we do it "For love of the Sport" as the header used to say.

Remember, while there may be ONE important subject in discussion in your eyes, we may be watching many, many others at the same time. We can't please everyone.

Every reported post, complaint or idea gets reviewed and discussed. Most times majority rules on a MOD vote.

For every one of you that thinks your contact with us should be on top of the list, there are ten others in the inbox.

Remember, we are all brothers and sisters. A Family. Families can fight each other, but I always fight the world my family. No matter our differing views.

For a lighthearted look at our day, watch the video below. I made it a few years ago but it still rings true.

I don't envy your or the other mods jobs Gregg and appreciate your time and efforts. I know you all do the best you can and sometimes are walking on a tightrope. You do have my support and thanks for the laugh in the video. Keep your sense of humour up !!

I've always been curious about how moderators of a forum work. How many are there? Are you guys just doing it randomly in free time similar to most of us surfing the forums (I guess I should get back to work since this isn't my free time lol) only you guys are making sure everything is running smoothly and content is appropriate in addition to enjoying the topic of conversation? Sorry to go off topic, but I've always been curious about this. Thanks for everything!

Kevin

It's all in our free time.

I work for myself so I am on more than most. But we all get messaged on every complaint or issue and we all scramble to a computer to see if/how we can help.

My posts-per-year actually dropped significantly after I became a MOD as I tried to walk the impartial line. A quick review of my old posts will definitely show a much more vocal and opinionated member.

Mr. Cash Bar

You guys do a great job. I imagine its difficult to watch what EVERYONE says and then have to decide if it crosses a line it shouldn't cross, and then have to decide what to do about it. You're much more diplomatic than I would be.

Just be careful because remember, you've been put "on notice"..........................

Yep, and all the MODS are still scratching our heads on that one.

That is still some funny chit LOL

"Great Job Guys and Gals" ... Keep up the good work.

Great post Greg!

Remember......... "Not Working While At Work Is Like Stealing From The Company"

In this case it sounds as if you've been stealing from yourself!

Thanks for volunteering your time, keeping us straight & providing us w/ a platform to talk boating!

I want the moron level membership lol

Keep up the good work Greg and see you and your prettier half in KW.

Bob

Good Luck, I'm Hearing There's A Wait List For That! Someone has to Upgrade before another one of us can be considered.

Wait...I thought that was a downgrade ...I mean ...I want MORE ON this topic :stooges:

Ditto

That's why we love you as a MOD. :evilb: :party-smiley-004:

Can we request a "beating a dead horse" icon? I imagine (not assume) it would be greatly appreciated and used. :nhl_fight:

Thank you for your Time and shall I say current sacrifice Mods!!

Thank Goodness!!!! :D :D :stooges:

Pick one :

U'r already there dickhead!!!!:evilb:

I could have sworn we had one of those! :riding:

how you manage to juggle internet porn and oso one handed is absolutely amazing... props

forget it, you are waaaay over qualified for that deal

is that really your pic in your avatar? if so what size shirt do you wear. lol

Dont u have to have a boat to be a mod on OSO ?

LMAO! Great job Greg!

I had a nice one when I became a MOD. And don't make me ban you. :daz:

Good job Greg!!!!! LMAO!!!

My free time was pretty limited today, so I just got a chance to get on OSO. LOL!!!!

Like Cash Bar and Speed Girl, I have been on OSO since the beginning but only recently became a Mod. I haven't even got an XMas gift yet:lolhit:
I thought I pretty much knew what I was getting myself into and figured why not?? I'm on OSO all the time anyway.

Its times like these recently that made me wonder WTF was I thinking???

Then I think about the people I have met through OSO, the freindships that I have made through OSO and the fun times I've had with other OSO members.
That makes it all worth it.

i think if you are a drunken sailor you can still qualify...

And we appreciate that very much!:D

Whatever.


Stop catering to the pure pansies on this site.


Disgusting.

No worries Greg. I put my myself on notice earlier. Go figure...

OMG CASH BAR,

this video is some funny, funny chit! I loved it. I am sure you could make up a few more classifications. For some of these heartless people! Have a great night and thanks for donating your time to help others in the sport

Agreed!

Yep, can't please everyone.

I think this thread should be locked ........... ha, just messin with you, Gregg. LOL Take the weekend off and trust us all will be well. LOL

Hey Cash, I heard you got put on notice by a random member....

I hope you realize nthats gonna go own on your permanent record......
