As I said, very interesting.

Congrats Mike! :)

I think you were a great choice. You have proved you are serious about your health and fitness by the transformation you have made. That alone is huge on a forum like Fitday.

And your honesty (and bluntness!) on your "Hey Fattie" post was an eye opener for me and others by the many positive replies.

I would be happy to help with anything needed, as I'm sure other members would be too.

Thanks for taking on this time consuming responsibility! :D

BTW, Can I have an avatar?

Great job Mike! Who cares what others think...I don't see them signing up to help be a moderator. ...

Thanks for finally stepping up and creating this section. It is frustrating to be reporting spam/advertising over and over and nothing gets done. Email the powers that be and never hearing back. As I said in one of the forums here, it is a MAIN reason I and many others are NOT willing to go premium.

I also have my own site * I do web pages * and moderate another forum as well so I know how critical it is to have some active participation from the owners/mods.

I have also offered to help in the emails I have sent ( and of course never heard back). So I hope the moderation team is formed quickly and stays on top of things. ...

please explain when I was rude or impatient. I don't believe they are finished selecting moderators. I was hell bent on getting rid of the spam and pushed the issue. If you consider that rude or impatient, then so be it... but like you said, that's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

BTW being a moderator isn't a "promotion" it's a matter of volunteering your time to help the board as a whole out. I don't get any special privileges and certainly don't get paid. I'm doing it to help the board out, I'm sorry you don't see it that way.

I am not mad they didnt pick me. And to the one who said maybe I didnt volunteer, I did. But it isnt about me being picked one way or the other. This is only one of many forums I participate in as a poster and moderator of some. So it makes no difference to me whether I am moderator here.. I do plenty of it elsewhere. As I have stated several times now.. my point was about the rudeness, but perhaps my wording was incorrect and what I call rude, others perhaps are more accurate when they say abrasive. Either way, I am glad they do have spam monitors now. It's an improvement very much appreciated. :)

I didn't say anything that could have possibly been taken rude, am I missing something or were you confusing me for someone else, as mentioned above?

vabeachgirlNYC, just wanted to let you know that I reported your post just to see if I'd get it in my email or something. There's nothing wrong with your post. Just wanted to test that function out on my end, I'm sure you'll understand. :)

not to keep this going but I still don't know when I was rude. If I was rude to IBAngel then I'd like to know so I could apologize.

You first got defensive and talking about being rude in this thread

I do know that I was critical of Admin and Mods due to lack of activity on this board when all the spamming started, but at that time it was true. Once IBAngle came on and introduced herself she's done an amazing job, I've been nothing but supportive.

I dont want to keep this going either. I dont think I got the wrong person, but I am not infallible and so I will appologize if that is indeed the case. As I said before, congrats on being one of the team.
