Who's the New Guy??

Guest · 1 Apr 2006, 11:05 (Ref:1566859)

I see we have a new moderator

Matt H · 1 Apr 2006, 11:46 (Ref:1566882)

never heard of him

Razor · 1 Apr 2006, 11:53 (Ref:1566888)

I have heard of Woolley, I think I saw him down at the Indy last year

Guest · 1 Apr 2006, 21:56 (Ref:1567195)

Welcome to Australia & New Zealand Touring Cars Woolley, please be gentle!

**GTRMagic** · 1 Apr 2006, 22:50 (Ref:1567257)

Woolley is a new moderator to this forum, but not new to 10/10ths moderating..

He is a fan of our V8Supercar series, like more and more of our European-based posters are tending to be, and spends some time down in this part of the world on occassion....

A welcome to the team

just another example of how our australian jobs are being sent offshore for cheaper labour.

Welcome Woolley

I guess you havent compared our paypackets then

Fully imported, with the Royal Warrant and all that costs big bucks compared to us convict folks

The biggest advantage having a European rattling their chains in our halls is that a moderator will (hopefully) be around during the Australian daytime... to keep the place on the straight and narrow.

.....Yeah,small things amuse small minds.

The moderating standards on this forum have dropped in the last six months and I know I'm not the only one who thinks so.Too many trolls,spoilers in the middle of threads on totally unrelated subjects and too many threads that wander off topic (Yes,no doubt I am guilty too).It's getting like V8 Central here.

Again,I hope by the addition of Mr Wolley as a moderator that the admin of Ten-Tenths wish to raise the forum standards.

Why dont you say what you really think.

A pity you do nothing to improve the situation either.

EvilPumpkin · 3 Apr 2006, 07:09 (Ref:1568769)

The moderating standards have not dropped. The quality of postings and posters has dropped and the increased level of drivel being posted is making it difficult for the mods to keep up with every single post.

Please remember all our moderators are volunteers with lives off Ten-Tenths. Much as we would love to be able to pay them to be here full-time, they have to work for a living like everyone else.

If you want the forum to be better moderated, then start taking a bit of responsibility. The "Warn" button is there for a reason. If you think a post needs to be looked at, then USE it.

If people are trolling, then IGNORE them. Don't rise to flame bait. Anyone who trolls does it because they are looking for a reaction. If they don't get one, they'll eventually get bored and go away.

Our mod team are doing their best - but without your help, both in letting them know of a problem, and in discouraging those who are trying to make trouble - then there's only so much they can do.

Welcome Woolley

LOL, no, I'm on the same rate as the existing mods - absolutely nothing. What I am, is on a different time zone in order to give support to the already overworked regulars. As EP says, there's way too much posting without thinking going on - flamebait, slagging off, in-fighting - and the best way for that to be cured is for a little consideration before pressing the button. If you think someone's post is diatribe, tell us, don't post it in the thread.

By way of background, I've been following Aussie V8s since they started hitting our screens a few years ago, Parker Enzed and Utes have followed more recently. I don't claim to be an expert, and I'm definitely not up to speed on the local politics. However, I did make sure that my Australian holiday adventure last year coincided with Surfer's paradise for the chance to see these beasts for real. What I found was wonderful hospitality, friendly locals - including the chance to meet several drivers who were without exception courteous and welcoming, and cars that exceeded my expectations. You guys don't know how lucky you are. What I hope to see here is the same attitude that I found in real life. It's up to you guys to want to show the world what a friendly nation you are.

Up to you now. Have fun, but excercise a little decorum.

I just hope you dont see some local joviality in the wrong light, or you may be branded a whinging pom!!

**Woolley** · 3 Apr 2006, 12:10 (Ref:1568957)

Well, my official recommendation from the Aussie marshals was 'Not bad value for a Pom!', so I took that as a success.
