Di ba bawal magpilipino sa ttd?
(Isn't it prohibited to speak filipino in ttd?)

Bro what is that video you sent me 😭. Why

 

[PenHoldSandro]

Ooi mate! Vile me not. Or unless you prefer the monotony and blandness of BBC English, devoid of spice and zess, just like the British cuisine.

O! But thy English isn't of particular interest either; tis of upmost lobotomy! Thy lexicon is not of "spice and zess", but rather one of pure, nigh-indistinct ramblings.

Oh never mind really; if you get it, no explanation needed. If you don't get it, no amount of explanation will ever do.

Gman was rocking Queens when you are still on Enfamil / Similac.

Generation gap.

@UpSideDownCarl I think You should ban retired God aka keith. You should also make tyce and other people a mod. Thanks for your update! I got a bit carried away in the thread sorry.

I can't make anyone anything especially since I am not on the forum almost at all these days.

You need to ask DAN.

i already moderate the discord tt community. i dont mind removing a thread or two on ttd.

btw, hi keith, bye keith, see you next year

Thank you Carl,
I know you been keeping things afloat longer than required - especially the forum boss is clear on this for few years already.

I have made contact with the forum boss on more than 3 occasions on your behalf (and for the sake of TTD) and we are still no where.
I was hoping to have him face to face in India UTT, but he came very late, and I had left already.

Lets hope this thread and public demand can result with a long overdue appointments of moderators and for the new team to set up new forum rules.

all the best and hopefully, we can meet in person one day.

@tzifos why the angry emoji? lol

you on to forum for a few days only and want to be a mod?

 

[d3nium]

The biggest issue on here is spam. You don't see that many trolls, this weekend being the exception haha. I dislike over-moderated forums.

fair enough

I mean I did have a lot of activity yesterday and the day before and I have 250 ping pong balls in two days, so I would be very active

 

[Gozo Zyreruna]

I want @NDH as mod!

Is that a yes?

I spoke to @Dan recently regarding the TTD meet up, and probably didn’t quite understand just how busy the TTD stuff is at the moment (so give him a moment to catch up on everything).

I 100% agree with @UpSideDownCarl re moderation - A forum of this size and “importance” needs a “team” of moderators (across the different time zones).

I’m equally not a fan of over moderated forums, but I’m even LESS of a fan when the moderators are bad (i.e, struggle to remove their personal feelings from a situation, and rule by emotion rather than unbiased reasoning).

Carl has done a great job of keeping things pretty balanced, but adding just 1 or 2 others might not be enough.

A team of 5 (for example) would be able to rule by majority, knowing that at least 3 of the mods agreed on a situation.

In response to @Gozo Calderano ….. I’d consider it 😅

Moderating anything online is an absolutely thankless task!

If there were at least 4 other experienced members of the forum who are at least semi active, I’d join them if needed.

Do you know him IRL

Yeah... It's more about quality.
I've already mentioned before to @Dan that I don't want to be a mod. But I also mentioned I wouldn't mind doing some stuff behind the scenes.

 

[PenHoldSandro]

I know I haven't been here for a long while on TTD but there are VERY common people just being here. @Tony's Table Tennis is defo one of them, so is @Tyce. Just look at the people who can give great advice and is active almost everyday. I know there are a lot.

@Dan good luck man, I know you'll make the right decision!

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Idk if you need or not, but if you do indeed add moderators, first verify from their activities if they are prejudiced. I have seen extreme china lover, china hater, India hater pro, Jp lover plus etc. they might end up not approving any post which speaks against their fav countries or posts from people of hated countries.

I saw one dude posting so much hate on India cos wtt will have a tournament in here. Went as far as to bring up gdp, politics and in the end started insulting the supporters like Tony’s Table Tennis who said they have been there. Like these guys were like “idk if you have seen it live, but here’s how much bad India is - take an article written in US about Indian politics.”

don't worry, Dan will never make zeio a mod here.

those insults to India is exactly why we need mods, to remind some adults to have discipline and stay in line with the topics of table tennis.
at one stage, the forum was full of electric vehicles and robots by the same user - I think maybe those posts were removed by Carl.

PS, I didn't know there are much India users here. I thought if there are, the Indians will come up on the attack against zeio's attack on India. This just shows me, you guys are peaceful!

 

[tzifos]

@tzifos why the angry emoji? lol

Because you would like to become a moderator, while:

• You feed the trolls
• You do 3-4 posts one after another without any other post from any other member
• You are too "young" here to know the users and be able to prevent flaming/trolling

You clearly don't know how forums work, you are not a "good" member to avoid these above, so how can you become a good moderator?

I was a moderator in many technological forum and BBS for many years, before the facebook was invented or any other social media and it is a tough and hard and if you know how much work this has and the responsibilities you have as a mod you would never proposed to be one.

Ok I understand mb.
