..i'm sensing is kwun, or maybe Oldhand, gonna go on a long sabbatical??...Turning BC over to the mods...

Congrats, drifit, on your new gig! Hope you won't ban and/or delete all the Malaysian goodies i've tirelessly put in the "Malaysian Temptations" thread...http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/39.gif

what sabbatical? i didn't approve of any sabbatical. :mad: ;)

replace "sabbatical" with "vacation", and that pretty much exactly what my boss told me when i asked for vacation... :crying: :crying:

03-10-2009, 03:57 PM

..no vacation or sabbatical for the mods??..uh oh, i guess drifit didn't read the fine prints that are written on the BC Mods Agreement..http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/39.gif:p

Btw, picture, picture, please, of our newly bequeathed mod..:cool:

Hi fellow BC members,

today we have the honor to have drifit join our moderator team.

BC has been growing leaps and bounds in the past years and drifit will complement our moderators team, ensuring that BC will remain the best online community for badminton fans worldwide.

welcome drifit!

.
drifit ... Welcome on board !!! :):):)

It's great to have a moderator representing Malaysia.

Yes, where is Mag now? We need to encourage more participation in BC from Sweden.

I'm sure you mean well but, for the avoidance of doubt, no moderator here represents any country or member-segment :p

(But I must reveal that one of our moderators secretly represents the lowlife fans of the lucky, fluke-driven Hamilton :mad:)

Congratulations Master drifit from the Boleh land and don't forget every mod has to contribute to some Hight Definition badminton videos. :D

"No. I guess I'm volunteering."

There is criteria, Free slave isn't one of them.

There is nothing in it for us except satisfaction if the forum community behave themselves........and for Kwun I doubt he has time to get this with doing the technical stuff behind making it run....

not really get the idea of which fear you are referring too.

hopefully not meaning scaring off people from joining BC or members do as their normal discussions. why fear if everyone here just talk about badminton? ;) off course can talk about other non-sensitive life's experience in chit-chat's thread.

It would seem, in order to fulfil their duty of long hours online trolling through our drivel, that Moderators have to be prepared to give up some of the luxuries of a normal life (like fresh air? freinds?).

And judging from Oldhand's badminton schedule, one has to be able to moderate while playing badminton (surf the internet while not serving into the net):cool:

there isn't a set of criteria that we use. that's why there is no precise answer.

you can come back and tell us that it is vague and not professional and what not. but the answer will still be the same.

Actually, I have found our BC admin/moderators quite lenient. They have proven to have patience and not to be too strict.
