So if there not going to tell us, lets just figure it out ourselves... whats going on

[from zero]

so who are the candidates, and are any of the mods that have left going to be replaced? Spatts was really the only mod that spent much time in this forum

This is very true. I've never seen many mods of this site spend as much time helping members out on the training forum as she has. With the exception of Citruscide, I believe she was the only one.

1. Im still curious how ALL of this started, why did the first mods leave

2. Needsize is the man for the job

needsize for mod

I agree on both counts, but like I said, I can't nominate Needsize without his expressed approval. I know he's got a career, and IIRC he has a family and young child or children (?). On top of training, he's a busy man

If anyone would support me, I might make a bid for modship. I unfortunately have quite a lot of time on my hands, but I'm even-handed, I daresay am far from dumb, and I've trained for 11 years. I'm a bodybuilder but I have a soft spot for powerlifting, football and strongman training too.

Bah, I doubt it would go very far. When I run for city council in a few years I'll probably fall flat on my face there, too

With the limited time I've been at Elite, I've found Needsize to be a wealth of knowledge. I think he would be a great choice for Mod

Bah, you've been here awhile. And I agree He's humble, friendly, popular and a fucking awesome bodybuilder. (Strong as hell, too: 325x10 on the flat bench isn't a joke.) And perhaps best of all, he is definitely very knowledgable.

If he wants it, he'd make the perfect mod. As I've said a time or two before, however, I just don't want to embarrass him, or put him in a difficult position by nominating him sans approval. As much as I'd like a Needsize as a moderator, real life oftentimes intervenes...

(NS, the cheque's in the mail, right? I've given you a decent out if you want it LOL...kidding, all, kidding!)

We will be in the process of electing new Mods this week.
George will make a post about it Mon or Tuesday. for sure. I will announce who spatts said would make good candidates them.

Thanks guys, I would more than happily accept a mod-ship if it was offered, but I didnt ask that hoping for one. I've got tons of time and spend most of it hanging out in the forums anyway, but in the end its up to admin. I did start some shit on the boards a while back that admin wasnt happy about, a mod was using his power to continually erase my posts and push me around, so I can see where admin might look negatively at that...
Either way, I just want to see things back to normal around here, no more of these threads, just ones about training

Citrus spent almost no time in the training forum after he was a mod.

^ ^^This is all just my opinion about why I think she left... Before anybody calls me a liar please understand, she never gave me an explanation about why she left, so I’m just posting my opinion ^

2- why was slobbknocker banned?
The last post he made that prompted for his account to be deactivated was “I will be leaving as soon as spatts leaves”.... Well... Spatts was gone, and rather than have another “I’m leaving post” we went ahead and deactivated him.

??????????

I'm with Ranger...I'm sure spatts would have taken this matter to the proper people to sort things out--she has proved to be a person of integrity. I find it hard to believe that no one knows why she left...she has no problem saying exactly what she thinks and giving reasons to back it up. Trust is something that is built, earned, and kept. I can't think of someone on EF that I know who is more respected by the majority of members (in my experience here) than spatts.

Spatts leaving = RED FLAG (to me).

As far as banning someone for voicing concerns that the majority of board members have...and supposedly because of the reasons you posted above--I think that is ridiculous...but that is just my opinion.

I don't have any intention of bad mouthing EF, but I can reassure you that the recent public exodus of members is very telling.
