"Dear Moderating Applicant,

Kind thanks for your time and interest in becoming a moderator at funkysnooker.com.

The moderating team on the whole has the choice of who will join them as a moderator with the final decision made by the admins. Unfortunately you were not chosen to be given a trial. This is usually due to you not being well known to the moderating team.

Please feel free to re-apply, however you will not be eligible for consideration until a further 3 months.

Please accept our best wishes, and thank you very much for your interest.

Funkypool Team"

Got this email today. What a disgrace, not being well known???? How well known do i have to be, I have posted 225 posts in this forum, and have been in the top 10 snooker and overall rankings for months. It just totally proves that I was right and I needed to be playing pool to become a mod.

not so rise - ive never been on the pool site longer than 30 mins! it's probably an automated response letter.

Even so, this isnt really the place to be complaining, i suggest if you have any further issues to use the appropriate channels.

Look at usually...and yes it is a auto response i believe. If you have a problem with this however rise, i suggest you use the contact us feature instead of the forums

I understand your frustration rise believe me, i got one of them too. All you can do is wait your time and try again. The mods do know we who we are coz we are never off the site and whilst we think we could do a good job it isnt our decision m8. Take it on the chin, reapply after your 3 months and keep your fingers crossed, that's what i'll be doin!!

Well rise, i think this proves your maturity is clearly not high enough to be a member of the team.

O and 'well known'..means more as a good sport, friendly, sensible, mature user of the site.

Posting a lot on the forums may help towards being seen as above, but it can also have a negative effect.
Obviously you still have a problem with me transferring over, my advice is too stop being sore, play some snooker and use the site for its intended purpose.

yeah i got one of them for pool. trust me mate wait and your soon get it

All I want to do is help the game, im not trying to beat anyone, don't fancy abusing my power, I just want to make this game better for all people. Its your loss.

"O and 'well known'..means more as a good sport, friendly, sensible, mature user of the site."

Apart from the fact that well known means none of the listed things, i am sensible, friendly and a good user of this game, just not to you since you decided to be hostile to me. I dont have a problem with you or anybody on this game, I just dont like the way it is run and pool players waltz into our game.

here here rise !
A rather bitter reply from the moderrator i think!

yeah, i dont think anyone, but especially mods should be calling people "immature" for no apparent reason that i can see....
rise only has good intentions, bless him lol

rise no offence but, come on everyone else got the same email about the application and we aint moning about it, just try again when it says 3 months

i'm new here but the "thelordofall's" response was immature in itself!!!

madhatter u creep lol

so how do u apply 4 being a mod lads

through contact us page. reply takes upto 2 months m8

help page>how do i become a moderator>apply.

All this moaning has to stop. Rise i've said so many times if you have a problem on how we select moderators then use contact us. My opinion on the matter is prehaps your some what angry that you wernt chosen. However i've seen people rejected, that have then reaplied and then have been accepted...For now no more argueing about this kind of situation on the forums

Haha, the only person bitter here is riseagainst.

Get over it. I personally dont care what you think, i'm aware that this is just an online snooker site, and therefore a user/users not liking me its not going to have any effect on my life.

I think you take this all a little too seriously.

i really dont know why you care so much about being a 'mod'...i like being able to help out and make this site a better place...however its really not worth the hassle from jealous idiots such as yourself, i tranferred over here to get away from this!

Call me what you like, however. it amuses me that you call me 'bitter'...i'm the one whos a member of the team....

hmmm, dont think you should have said that.
I think you should care about what users think of you and the site...they ARE the site

Madhatter...I didnt know we all got the same email so im sorry about that part.

Like i said all I want to do is help the game, and thelordofalls responses are a bit hostile for my liking, i'd prefer it if a mod would just be helpful like revenge and tell me what to do, rather than have a go at me.

If i feel I want to bring anything up again revenge i will use the contact us thingy. But for "all the moaning", I just have a lot of questions I want answering, and usually a forum is where you go for the answers. I'm not bitter that i didnt get chosen, I would be over the moon if you picked Rothers, top_spin, driver8 or fasboysam. Im very happy driver8 got picked but i'd prefer it if more people were chosen.

Top_spin and rothers cheers for your posts, they are very helpful and im glad you see things the way you do.
