Setanta has done a crap job, waging war on some members, attacking my family about who he knows nothing. Sad Kangaroo would have been a good choice, now I really hesitate as to who to recommend.

You don't need any more mods.
There are maybe 20 - 25 active members. The rest are just names on a list. This forum is dying |

Title: Re: New GMods needed Post by greggerypeccary on May 15th, 2023 at 7:48pm Vic is an excellent Mod, but he's hardly ever here. Setanta changed a few years back, and I have no idea why. He used to be quite a nice, reasonable guy. Strange. And yeah, half of us can't post in 'Feedback'. |

If I learned how this all worked, I could be a good moderator. GMods are the main moderators, right?

I have to admit that I have had memory loss/fog from my drinking. I watched my security camera footage to see how drunk I got on Saturday night. When I go sober for 4 weeks, I should have my old self back on track. |

😩 I honestly don’t understand how anyone can get past a 2nd drink. For me...that 1st glass of Shiraz or Merlot over dinner is exquisitely tantalising. Then that refill turns up and I oh boy ...I just can’t drink it. Why? It doesn’t have the sensational taste of the 1st glass. I am left struggling to enjoy/finish that 2nd glass. My husband usually ends up drinking the 2nd glass of wine for me. I guess I’ll never understand people who drink a lot of alcohol. I’m beginning to think that they too only enjoy the first drink like I do BUT unlike me they then embark on some bizarre journey of self sabotage/self flagellation. It’s as if they’re punishing themselves for something that’s happened in their past but they have convinced themselves that the alcohol is there to help them with facing the demons of the past. 🥺😔 |

As I say, I like the taste of scotch. But, I can only drink about 500mL of scotch before my hyperinsulinemia kicks in and I have to go sleep for 4 hours. Because of my schizophrenia, I take to the drink to overcome whatever PTSD issues I have had. Earlier this year, I went 3 weeks without any alcohol. But the stress just kicked in from returning memories of old events from long past. You would think that I would just resolve my subconscious issues with conscious counter measures. But, alcohol seems to fast track me obliterating the PTSD as a "not my problem anymore" measure. Quote:
I don't enjoy drinking anymore. I bought a couple bottles of Wolf Blass red label shiraz, and used my wine glasses for the first time. I had one bottle one night. The other bottle I finished the next night. It was a good buzz, and I was hoping that would be it for my drinking. But no, I bought another bottle of scotch a few days later and got stuck into that. My body has given up the ghost for being able to drink much. I think I have to cut out the alcohol from here onwards. I have had this cough that I figure is alcohol related. And I know that I would be rid of the virus if I just went sober. With winter coming up, and me starting a TAFE course, I want to be focused on doing well. Plus, I have my medical coming up that needs me to be physically well. So, nup I won't be selected as a moderator, let alone a GMod, unless I can prove myself. |

It is dying partly from pisspoor moderation. Why the hell can’t FD change the name and icon of my board? Cats and Critters implies cats are not critters—smacking STUPID! The two GMods are rarely here, abuse has driven some away, like Emma, Squire etc. The mess that is the Corona Virus board has seen Sad Kangaroo and Barnacle leave. Environment is a wasteland, the clown supposedly Moderating that toilet of a board NEVER talks about the environment! Any wonder the more intelligent are leaving? |

I was considering doing a personal message to multiple recipients to reach out and see if they want to re-engage in OzPol. But, I figure I would be accused of spamming. Old users have stopped posting here for various reasons. They have better things to do with their time. They are unable to post here. But, I bet many of them still check in to see what is going on, but do not want to be caught up in the schitt. |

Is that what the issue here is? People do not like the quality of the posts here and want to go elsewhere for more intellectual debate. I have already started my search for other website forums pertaining to Australian topics. Casual viewers and friends of mine who read my posts have told me to just stop posting here and go somewhere better. I mean, this site is a step up from PoliticalAnimal, but that is not saying much. |

Title: Re: New GMods needed Post by Xavier on May 16th, 2023 at 2:08pm
Considering Monk and Smith have never been happy with this Forum in any manner, shape or form.
It's a telling sign of their sheer insanity why they keep coming here. When banned from here - both would slag this Forum and FD off abusively... and yet, once the bans are lifted - they come scurrying back here for the attentions they need, that Monk's PA Forum doesn't provide them with. |

With membership declining it is up to members to make critiques of the way this place is run.
Bam is another member who no longer posts here yet was very active only a little while ago. Phemanderac Sad Kangaroo Barnacle Bam SprintCyclist All have stopped posting here. Immediate solution: Hide the Aboriginal anc Coronavirus boards, they have brought out the worst of people and the antivax nonsense has turned off good members. I have not read the Aboriginal board but can imagine the ignorance proudly displayed, the racism and the rampant stupidity. Appoint some new GMods. Examine the MRBs, some could probably be done away with or merged, a couple boards have a suitable Mod appointed and Environment desperately needs a new Mod, one that posts using scientific papers etc to discuss environment and maybe arrest the dive of OzPol’s SEO rating. |

The only stupidity going on there is Boris' endless need to have his allegations of cannibalism validated by other members. Apart from that, the board is quite a valid part of OzPol. I would love to keep sharing my experiences of indigenous problems and criminal behaviour that I have witnessed. The coronavirus board is getting a bit stale. But it is still relevant. I would not mind looking back on this board in a couple of years and having a laugh at the hysteria of the KungFlu. |

Title: Re: New GMods needed Post by Jovial Monk on May 16th, 2023 at 5:57pm
So the Aboriginal board is making OzPol out to be bunch of racists, as I suspected.
The Coronavirus board has seen WAY too much vaccine denial and outright bullshit about Covid and its vaccines. These two boards and “Environment” say we are ignorant, stupid, racist and backward. Great advertisement for OzPol! |

Oh, no! Not the "racists!" accusations. How ever will we be able to live that down? There is nothing wrong with a bit of balanced debate about indigenous issues. 3% of the population is having a lopsided amount of airplay about their "voice". Whereas, we can have people debate against the proposal. The indigenous people have Brian and thegreatdivide to act as the representatives for indigenous people here. I think we might have to pack up the coronavirus board, soon. Give it until after the winter in Australia is over. Then ditch it to an obsolete topics board. |

You know this place will be on the way up - when proven Doxxers like Monk are permanently banned.
Until then - don't hold a hope for improvement in any shape or form. |

Title: Re: New GMods needed Post by Jovial Monk on May 17th, 2023 at 4:56pm
Never doxxed no one here.
Booby did—passed around a photo of me and my (now deceased) mother. That was done here. In PA Booby got my personal information from IQ and gave it to Dubyne. Booby was in love with Dubyne, would do anything for a pat on the head from him. I know the info came from IQ because of a picture of me that a doxxing stalker uses on Twitter. So—maybe rephrase that statement in your post? Booby is also a massive troll and his so-called Environment Board is enough to turn away potential new members. Now Coronavirus board is an even bigger turn off. |

Not trying to play devil's advocate here. But, why are you having pictures of yourself and your mother accessible by other posters here on social media? I have photos of myself, family, home, animals, co-workers on my facebook account. But, I would restrict access to those photos for people who are on my friends list only. And if I was so worried about having my photos exposed by hackers, I would delete them from social media. |

The issue here is that Boris has tried the loading tactic, in possible hopes that people give in and tell him that they believe him, just to get him to shut up.
There is also a bit of "shotgun strategising", with Boris making broad varying claims, hoping that he can provoke someone into entertaining the subject and giving Boris some credibility/validation. It is all about how we respond to him. |

No, Boris has tried the deflecting tactic, always carrying on about something else when asked to provide evidence, or claiming someone else said something, all without ever addressing the actual comment he was asked to support. He should either support his comments ,or admit he dreamed it all up |

Sprintcyclist comes and goes 'consistently' like El Nino/Nina.
He'll always be around. Sad Kangaroo was around a lot when It_is_the_Light was around a lot - both enjoying their 'duel' until 'Light' lost a bet and left for good like a sore loser. Since then - life in the 'Fringe' where SK mods has been quiet even if all things Fringe has become popular again under Biden's term. Barnacle is getting older and doesn't post as much, but he'll still pop in at times. Bam will pop in from time to time I'm sure and Phermanderac - well, I don't think I can remember when he/she has posted? |
