Enter the Moderators

[Guest]

I see (via who's online) that we have new people today who are called Moderators. Over there, see with the red and green names (see thay CAN do it) name of Mr byers and sue pelling For those who don't know, moderators are often people who jump in and rip post apart, censor the selling bits, and delete any use of the words sex, crap and scunthorpe. However, seeing as not much of that around here, praps they will jump in and spice up a few postings? Are they newbies? or oldbies with new full-colour names? Praps journos whos names I don't recognise cos I don't read Loaded, Classic Boat incorporating Get Your Kit off, and other ipc titles.

Bit worrrying they callemselves moderators as KH (who is really) calls himself er harmless old git or whatever. Any relation to the Boat int journalist, Sue? Come to that, Mr Byers, are you related to anyone who has held back a few million squillion quid from a large train-related organisation, and if so, can we have a few quid to erm use the valuable resources of the Thames and Soent and Vital Public Thoroughfares?

Re: Oh dear Matt!

I note she signs as ed of sailpower, so me firmly put in place. No need to grass up Haydn, well known as being barred from every marina from north right down to westcountry on account of individualistic yet effective parking method and inshore bog testing.

Sue Pelling is the editor of sailpower and also works on Yachting World's website. Chris Beeson (Nipper) is the editor of ybw.com and Dom also works on the ybw.com editorial squad (both work closely with the mag teams to assist with their sites).

Gavin Scothern is part of the commercial team and finds the VHF goodies, amongst many other things, so that you can all raise (more than 200 pnds is fine) funds for the RNLI.

Kate Brunel-Cohen is part of the MBM editorial team.

Think that's about it although you'll probably see some other (mainly magazine) names in green over time.

Are they they to give you a hard time? No. Are they going to censor every post? No. Are they they to allow me to do something else very occasionally? Hopefully. Will they ever claim the record for maximum number of posts? Not a chance.

That's about it I think...
