Revilo, Aaronaldo and Valleyfaithful new mods going forward

[reamsofverse]

Ok so just to let you all know, revilo and aaronaldo have joined Valleyfaithful in becoming the new mods of ITTV going forward.

I need to take a backstep for a little while and we'll see where we are during the summer.

I was genuinely going to close it as I feel that after 16 years the time had come to move on but having thought about it too many of you have been with me on the journey and it's for you that it's staying open. It's harder to do than I thought because of the emotional side that is attached to it and something that happened while I was setting this place up many years ago.

I will look in and my name will still be listed as a mod but I am taking a back seat and allowing the other guys to run it as they see fit.

Looking forward from a distance to seeing if the club can be salvaged off the pitch for a decent campaign on it.

Please give revilo, aaronaldo and Valleyfaithful your full support. We will chat as a group but there will be no interference on my part.

As one who uses this forum occasionally, I will say thanks to three of them for stepping up to keep it running, alsp to Reams fpr starting it and running it for so long.

Well done guys, best news today!

[dartford36]

Excellent - three very safe pairs of hands to keep the forum alive, not that I thought it would ever be allowed to die!

Onwards and upwards.

[valleyfaithful]

Welcome to the team, Mods! Sure we'll see you again some time Paul.

I'm not going far mate, will look most days but just want people to run it who are far more invested in the club than what I am at the moment. Didn't think it was fair on our members to close it but equally it isn't very fair of me to keep running it when my heart isn't in the club either.

Fair enough mate, hopefully we all have something to celebrate sooner rather than later. Even if it is only Sandgaard handing over the keys.

Three good posters - great choices to take on the job.

As someone who has been here since day one(ish) I can relate to your lack of enthusiasm recently, Reams, but I greatly appreciate the effort you've put in to building this forum over the years.

[reamsofverse]

Thanks Exeter I appreciate it.

Just have to say that looking at Dickies 4th forum there have been 112 posts in less tahn 24 hours. 74 of them are from himself and the sausage who is pushing it for him Nick Gray.

58 of those 74 posts mention Wrexham, slagging me off, or trying to get stuck into this forum.

The title of his orum is Charlton not Wrexham!

I'm glad the handful who have gone over there to be honest. They offered nothing to ITTV anyway.

Thanks Paul for your time and patience in running this place , also the invaluable info you pass on freely that some hold you personally accountable for
Don’t be a stranger

Just want to add my thanks to Paul for keeping this forum chugging along - I look in every day and appreciate the work he has put in and especially the privileged information that sometimes comes his way.....

Welcome to the new moderators, I promise not to give you any trouble 😀

Seconded. Thanks Paul. 

[bigandy99]

Onwards and upwards.. we’re in this together and all new mods are chomping at the bit.. you did a fantastic job Paul and will be invaluable in the future..

[anthony55]

Thanks for running this forum for as long as you have Paul.
It must be very time consuming and frustrating at times.
I look forward to you posting regularly on here as soon as guitar boy fucus off and hopefully new and better owners are in place.
In the meantime many thanks to the three new mods who are prepared to give up their time to keep this forum running

[charltonheston]

Well done

[canterburyaddick]

Probably the right decision, Paul. Always best to keep options open. I'm sure the mods will do a good job and keep it neat and tidy for when an owner comes in that can take the Cluub where should be (it's the hope that kills us). It seems a long time since those heady days of meeting up at the Valley.

Not a betting man but I would put money on you being back one day.

[jonkool]

Hi Paul … I first ‘met’ you online when you set up a previous incarnation of ITTV and I immediately liked your abrasive yet insightful views in terms of CAFC both on and off the pitch. I was more than happy to be an early member of ITTV which went from strength to strength.

You have been a fearless leader and moderator … you never hold back when it comes to your opinions and emotions and you’ve made me chuckle on so many occasions particularly when offering keyboard warriors from other forums the opportunity to have their say face to face at a local hostelry of choice. It’s a game of passions and boy do you do passion.

Thanks for your efforts over so many years and like many of us I can understand your dejection when it comes to the club that we love … it’s been soul destroying to witness the abject incompetence of successive ownership/SMTs since Curbs left the club.

Enjoy your sabbatical however long and enjoy your Saturdays following your local club … I’m sure that there is great excitement in the town where everyone cannot wait for the next match day. I’m sure that there is an element of envy from us Addicks given the cul de sac we are unable to reverse out of.

Thanks again pal!

A very poor decision by aaronaldo to close the St George’s / Nike thread.

From what I could see on there , there were no personal attacks, just well argued points being made on either side.

I can’t believe that “repetitive posts” is a credible justification for locking it, given that aaronaldo ‘s two closest friends on ITTV post the same repetitive, highly supportive guff about the SMT daily, without ever once having been censored (just my perspective).

Being a Moderator means that you are required to leave your personal biases at the door, and treat each ITTV member equally.

aaronaldo is about as neutral as a Pakistan cricket Test umpire in a 1980s home series. We all know how it ended between Shakhoor Rana and Mike Gatting, so let’s not repeat that on here.

Unlock the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 thread, and let’s have some neutrality.

Thanks for your feedback OR / Royston / WorkingLikeAnts. We generally leave the insults to you to be honest.

I locked it because some posters were posting to get a reaction from others. I didn’t express my views on the post. So I don’t know what you’re referring to.

While I was a little disappointed not to have the chance to respond to the personal dig from the Loopy pie person, I think I will survive. 
As soon as the personals start, you know they have lost the argument. (Right, Clarky?)
Obvious nonsense was being posted to wind people up.  
Not that my endorsement counts for a hill of beans but good for you for doing some moderating and taking the soapbox away from someone who is not often right but was wrong this time.

Yes, but that happens on most threads, and it’s your lack of consistency that is the problem.

You also repeatedly like the pro SMT posts of two posters in particular (the two long winded guys).

My feeling is that the topic of the thread you locked didn’t float the boat of you & a couple of others, and you felt it was sucking the energy away from more familiar topics like xG and data waffle.

I’ve no problem with repetitiveness being stamped on, but it’s got to apply to everyone, else you should step down as a Mod.

Let’s see where we are at full time on Friday with regards to the application of impartiality.

If the calling came, I remain willing to serve ITTV in any capacity.

Hopefully the new mods first job will be to ban you …… all the best Reams

Me two penny worth - taking into account some of the other hobby/lifestyle boards I use, this one is very well moderated.

A lot are run quite a fascist way and some like Haiti so the balance is right here. Some worse for only having a handful of people.

Opinions masquerading as wummage is par for the course and should simply be sidestepped and not fed. Easier on all then.

We might be at the beginning of a decent journey so best stick together and enjoy the ride.
