Yes mal of course you should be back.....sure things go a bit cock eyed now and again, but we are all still here so what does that tell you about the site, the cafe and the way the place is moderated......it says to me that there isn't a whole lot wrong with any of the aspects of the place.
If I've never said it.......come to think of it I havn't.....I appreciate the moderators efforts and from what I've just read so do a shite load of others, might not be worth much, but it's the best I can offer you and your mod colleagues....thanks :thumbup:
Nice to see you back posting mal babes
a lot of what i wanted to say has already been covered by others so wont bore you with repeating it
keep up the good work you are all appreciated
and it is the best swinging site going so hats of to you all for the great job your doing for us all
Love n Hugs

So good you had to say it twice??
:shock:
The crap that Mal talked about is only the very tip of the iceberg. Ask any of the newer Mods, wonder why Kat took so long to agree to be re-Modded, ask yourself why Sappho stopped being a Mod after a very short time???
Yes, we volunteer (well some of us were pressed ganged by the promise of large amounts of wine but let's not go into that one!) but that doesn't mean to say that we should take the crap. The Beckhams get paid very very richly for taking crap. If Mark paid us £1M a year then you'd not hear a peep from any of us.
Now, I 've had a really really great night and intend to stay extremely happy, despite pressure to the contrary.
see now you know how it feels to be a God lol, and it makes me think that in your 'real life' you must be a high court judge.
Anyway, I think you mods do a great job, and more often than not i get a giggle out of all of your' posts.
oh welcome back by the way
I modded a site a couple of years ago, myself and the other mods got a lot of shit from the members so to prove to them what life with out us would be like we stopped modding for a week. it changed the minds of a lot of them and things were much better after that.
mate , your between a rock and a hard place being a mod sometimes, but you all do a fuckin hard , difficult and sometimes unappreciated task very well . Your an asset to the site mate ,, respect . xxx
hey ya know what , we dont take a blind bit of notice of the Mods unless they do something that stands out like a sore thumb . Yeah they make the occasional mistake , and they sometimes do things that are not quite right or fair because theyre in a bad mood , but truth is the slogging dull repetitive work they do day in day out means they deserve a little slacknow and then . As far as Mal goes , he is one of the less vocal Mods , and we enjoy his posts in his 'human being' capacity . He a giggle and seems a nice person , and much like many of the Moderators we dont often even think of him as anything else , the words in gray under the avatar dont really mean a thing about the person typing , except perhaps they are less lazy than me LOL.

Hello again mal.
That was a very impassioned post and certainly, emotion is showing through in a way that I recognise. When you carry out a voluntary job it is very easy to become disenfrachised because of certain peoples' attitudes. Whilst the majority appreciate the role of the volunteer, in the every day humdrum of life, it is easy to take people's effort for granted.
But look at your own post. You stood back, you listened to your own concerns and understood your own feelings. you realised that you were (and still are) providing a valuable service to many, many people. You had every right to feel the way you did and I will tell you why. For every thousand thank you's, for every thousand compliments, it can take as little as one dig, one person who is disgruntled and it will make you think " I don't need this, why the hell am I doing this?
Whilst I will applaud your decision to carry on, what you don't need is sycophantism. But please remember, without people like you ,this site would be a failure. I came back because I feel happy here. People like you make me feel welcome.
Don't ever give up doing what you do,
Good to see you back mate.
