How come every week it seems there is a new moderator appointed is there a secret society on hear a place where us ordinary folk do not see cant access. Is it a democratic process job for the boys or how dose it work. I was surprised to say the least unique is now the moderator of the Music forum. Personally i cant think of a better choice. Well done

But please tell us how dose this process all work.

I was surprised to say the least. 'Unique' is now the moderator of the Music forum.

It's very similar to the way cardinals elect a new pope. All the existing moderators gather in a virtual darkened room and argue about who the new moderator should be. If they fail to reach a decision on the first vote, black smoke is sent from the virtual chimney, and they have to go through another round of voting. They aren't allowed out until they all agree, whereupon white smoke is sent from the chimney, and general rejoicing is heard throughout the land.

I meant it think its a good choice really do. There no sarcasm there leave that to the experts just mere observations.

Just amazed thats all at all the new moderator names. seem new ones every week. Never seen an ad for one ether. Not that i would look.

Names forgive are that new to me never heard of any of them before. Was wondering whether there was AV forums bar somewhere where the clique gathered.

Re: moderator question

We meet on a private yacht on the Thames (sponsored by AVForums) on alternate Fridays to discuss world domination and the appointment of new Mods. Otherwise njp was pretty close. Unique is a special case and flies in on his private Lear jet from somewhere remote, I haven't worked out where yet. When I gett my 00 status they might tell me.

I think your an asset i wont have a word said against you. Your certainly a mind of information. Honestly can not think of a better choice to moderate that forum. (Hope the cheques in the post )

Rubbish! We know that you lot are a bunch of reclusive weirdo's who never leave your houses, and spend all day sitting on a pile of human skulls polishing your shotguns in preperation for Armageddon.

On another note, do you have a designated 'evil' moderator?
