New moderators required......

I stumble when I have to spell the word computor, I wonder if it is computer or computor. I still have not a clue what constitutes spam, other than spiced ham. I nominate robinpeck, he says he has a lot of paid tyme on his hands and will keep the "Bikers" at bay.

Thanks all for the offers of help.

As I seem to be the only active moderator now Weeksy's time is taken up, I think it's best to spread the load a bit wider and let more people get involved.

I too am finding it harder to get time to moderate due to family commitments and increased travel with my job so I'm probably going to retire from mod duties fairly soon anyway.

I will always be here to help if needed but to make sure the site is looked after as well as it can be I am pleased to announce a new band of moderators who I think will do a great job of moderating this site and, more importantly, helping out new and existing members.

They are (in no particular order):

PowerCell
Grendel
Jody
LondonDutch
Bert_Be
Colonel_Klinck

Welcome to the team lads. I'm sure you will have lots of questions initially but once you've routed around in the admin section a bit you'll see it's not too onerous a job.

Cheers
Rick

Klink the moderator....Oh shit......

Congrats

Klink its hard werk haveing to trawl through all that porn , and eney links with Pete Townsend , or Garry glitter , dont look just delete ! .

I find it hard to believe Klincky has ever done anything in Moderation in his life, look what happened when somebody showed him their orange enduro bike

Grendal has decided to hang up his mod suit as he's just too busy to wear it any longer. Cheers for all the effort dude

This has however opened up a position of power If anyone is interested in this pinicale of SD membership then PM me.


(disclaimer: it actually means activating accounts 99% of the time and getting yourself in trouble by wading into a arguement and then brandishing the mod stick about.. or at least that's the way I did it )

ooooh....tempted, but I'm not sure I have enough spare time anyway! Someone else worthy of the power take it before I hand in my CV...

I've definitely got the time to do it.

"You don't...... believe in me? "
Don't go away mad ass person......just go away.

I'll just be a reg forever

I think that Bassagent is the perfect idea. Sort of giving back to the community. Allong with his duties he could maybe edit my posts. It occured to me that Maddog has quite a few extra commas in his past posts. Is there a way to mine them and place them in a sort of bank account and Bass could dole them out as needed. Instead of buying a vowel like that TV game show you could borrow a semi-colon. I think there was supposed to be a comma between show and you. Don't get me started on the Oxford comma, we'd use them up way too fast.
Give it to Bass.

Ok BassAgent and PowerCell have stepped up to the plate. Cheers guys, I've changed your status to admins. Your emails will now be flooded with spam emails Off to work now but have a look in the mod section and if you still have any questions post them in there.

I think he just needed some help?

I hope I make you all proud in a very sexual way

Powercell, I thought you were a moderate?
Thanks to the both of you for stepping up. now go away

I'm not going anywhere. BLB wanted to step down and someone else did recently. There has been many a spliff since then though and I forgot who it was. What day is it again??

Play nice, there is a new agent in town.
You would have made a good one and it may have helped your liver last a lifetime.
The klinckenmiester runs a loose ship, we may be in for some choppie waters.

"Nerd I hope you can still sleep at night after this one.

You wankers won't even notice the difference. I'm just trying to help out."

Some peoples help and influence we just don't need.

Just looking at your aviator makes me want to skip the complete post I am reading.

For sure I never read what you wright any more...learned my lesson. Evil MF.

I cast a vote for D Fir,,,,,,,,,and DD,,,,,,,who dosn't like my coma's,,,,,,,,my vote's have been cast,,,,period....................................................................................................................................................

If am wrong then I apologise, but wasn't powercell previously removed due to editing posts he didn't like?

IE my posts pointing out what a bellend he was being?

And so the sh!t starts....

May the Lord have mercy on our souls!

Hmm clearly I've completely lost the plot on setting up the admin side of things. I'll have a hunt around when I get home and see if I can find the setting. Trust me we are getting emails. Maybe 80+ already today

Who the hell made BassAgent green?

all the mods on her are dicks . . . . .fact

and ex mod blb for that matter

Hahaha, I can't wait to see what Assagent has in store for us.

If it's anything like on the GSXR forum it'll be great entertainment.

"I hope you get hit by a car while riding your bike you fooking twat, then you will understand.

I also hope you end up with lifelong injury so you will understand even more. Bitch.

EDIT: Actually fook all of you who talk shit. I hope every last one of you gets fooking hit by cars while you are out riding your bikes like any other day.

fooking bitches, good night."

Crikey

Seem to remember locking down a thread a few months back that went to shit in similar fashion.

Time to redeem I suppose

Klink mate don't abandon ship now for fooks sake.....

I have a feeling we are going to need you.

If it helps I could mod for a bit but only if you stay!!!

Listen Dammit, I'm all for redemption. All you naysayers cool your jets and let the man show you even a fuckwit can change.
Now Bass, prove me right.

I've never seen Bass Agent go OTT on here.

When I lived in London it was in a big old factory building and there were 20 units. We sacked the management company, (because they were ripping us off and not using the service charge cash they received in a good way), and took on the job ourselves. It was necessary to have a sort of management committee to run things and a few people stepped up to the job in roles that suited them and a few others just because they were keen to help build a great team to do things better.

For about 5 glorious years everything was pretty good, the feeling of what we'd done and achieved kept us going and things all around improved, we had more cash to spend on the building, all the occupants felt that they were getting value for money and any disputes were handled in a fair and democratic way. There's always some things that cause friction and there were some politics with personalities and egos but generally things were fine.

As the years went by some of the key people sold and moved on and others were brought in to replace them. The dynamics changed at times, sometimes for the worse, but there was always enough of the old team and memories of what it was all done for and it all hung together. It was really up to the new recruits to learn the way of the management committee and to be inspired to continue in the same spirit.

And also of course, more importantly, for all the rest of the occupants to help support the team in their efforts to run the show. Because after all these were the people who were spending their own time and effort in making it happen for the whole and the people who were not doing anything personally - except paying their service charge - should have been always appreciative of the effort it took. But this was not always so and being part of the management team was often a thankless task.

One of my friends who was on the original management team with me came to stay the other night. We pondered on the past and talked about what we had heard of the building and what was happening there. One of the key things is that the management committee had broken down in a vitriolic war of power, greed, selfish thinking and actions. It had got so bad that the whole building had more or less decided to revert to hiring an expensive management company to do the job because no one trusted or supported the way it was now being done. Despite being a bad option they thought it better than a warring, bickering self-govenment.

Lets hope we never see the same thing happen here. Superduke.net is probably one of the best run, best designed, best supported forums I've ever subscribed to on the internet. The moderators are all volunteers and deserve respect and all our support in doing what they do. I think one should only bitch and moan if they are willing to step up and offer to do the job better themselves.

Apex I'm not sure why you find it your prerogative to search up old history that doesn't pertain to you whatsoever. I think you may officially be "butthurt" after all haha!!!

Anyways yeah I did blow up on gixxer.com. I'm not going to go into details and explain anything because its old news and I don't even think about it anymore lol.


Dribble I think I owe you some nudez of myself for believing in me

I'll give you my popular poses even

Can I see your well worn traveller and your hooligan hunk?
You do a mean fishmonger Bassagent

Oh great, more mericans running things. After all they have done such a great job policing the world, cant wait until they start calling each other squids and scraping each other off of their shoes.

This is th last thing I will say about it.
We all deserve a chance and I'm sure we on this forum are grown up enough to decide what to post or not.
It is fine to have a laugh and I'm the first one to do so, and yes I can take it back too.
This forum needs people to help out on mod duties and if Bassie wants to step up to help out, great!
What happened in the past has no relevance till it surfaces again and I'm sure he learned form passed experience.
So don't prove me wrong you little f00ker!!

I look at it this way, while your on the internet modding you are not on your bike making the roads unsafe...

You got any cartwheel poses

You can dream anything you like mate!

We should have given him a PINK name!

That green is really bright!

That's pretty!

Despite everything I said about gratitude and tolerance towards moderators the pink/green/whatever is awful and messes with the look of the site. Aesthetically it sucks. Why do you want to have a different coloured name to anyone else, you have your Avatar to do anything you want with.

I respectfully ask you to change it back to like everyone else on here. Thanks!

Most enjoyable thread.........please continue.

Not been around for a couple, login and find this shit? WTF!?!?

I might have to buy a Tuono just to get away from this shit!

Pink is an apprentice on their way to red.

Rolling fan club for our poor friend from the West Country who is having a KTM closing down sale on eBay.

Haha very kind of you Guys. I have been having second thoughts in light of recent posts and some historical ones...

Truth is I feel guilty about not being able to give the site the time at the moment, also with not actually owning a (whole) KTM anymore it doesn't seem right. Some tough things going on at the moment as some of you know as well...

Tis true I did Kill that RC8 and now I'm glad I did, it was bloody cursed. Never had such bad luck with a bike in all my riding life. Glad the fooking thing is dead and in pieces, I'm even struggling with my conscience about selling off the bits in case some other poor bastard ends up with the bad luck that POS gave me.

So I plead guilty, send me down to boring Jap bike purgatory. Got a lovely CBR929 Blade with my name on it, even I couldn't blow that up. Fast enough and cheap enough not to care so much if and when I send it down the road/track. With a little luck if I keep selling off the bits as well as I am I'll be at Portimao too

If Craig, Bert etc are happy for me to drop in when I can and have a check around then I'll carry on. Maybe I could moderate the moderators?

I'm easy really.

Look I'll put my hand up. I took it upon myself and posted up in this thread that we were looking for anyone to step up. We were down to Bert, Crotchrockety and myself with BLB dropping out. BassAgent stepped up to take some of the load. I took the decision to make him a mod. Some others have also stepped up as well and could well become mods. I posted the names in the mods forum for the other guys to look at. Tbh I should have posted something in the mods forum first but hey we live and learn. This seems to have caused a big stir. Look if it doesn't work out it doesn't work out but he deserves a break guys.

Dude if you wanna come back you know the door is always open. With my recent efforts I clearly need moderating

I haven't been pulling my weight for weeks and weeks so do what you think is right Klinck. Don't take it personally.

For what its worth my vote would be to Gin Reaper, I think this site needs maturity to stop it reaching the depths of other lesser forums. (gixxer and bloody ktmforum) YOU/We have run a tight ship here and we need good people to keep it that way.

Stick with it Marc. Just spray that japanese thing orange and we will let you off. Seriously you are part of SD.net.
Sign up Gin as well so he can educate that budding little biker in his house.

Oh yeah, most forgot BLB kept the site ticking over when it crashed earlier this year. That means he has to stay on as a mod.

God if i knew trying to step down would cause all this

I do still enjoy browsing here and have made some very good friends but I am seriously disillusioned at the moment with KTM... So long as Klinck knows I can't do as much as I should then sign me up again...

Craig I can get in to the admin panel but don't know how/don't have permissions to change me back. I have three conditions though.

1. I don't have a stupid green or pink name
2. Gin comes on board as a mod
3. Do the popular thing (read between the lines here...)

Dude I've changed your rank and added you to the mod group but I can't remember how to turn your name red and I'm too high right now to figure it out I'll let you do it yourself.

A little bird told me that a certain moderator, with a pink moniker, managed to ban himself / deactivate his own account. The question is, do we want to reinstate his membership privileges?

What say yee?

I'll cast my ballot in secret, Los Alamos is a small town.
I'm leaning toward the right handed pick
Weren't you in stealth mode as far as nullon rouge?
I do remember a time, not so long ago, when my meds were jacked up , or at least that is what I am copping to, I would have not wanted a poll on or about my demise.
If this is an example of absolute power corrupting, I'm absolutely all for more.
What's the saying,? Give him enough rope...

Come on guys. .. give bass agent a chance to prove himself. He may not be your favourite person but he has passion and we need that on here. If he plays up sure hang him out to dry but don't get ahead of yourselves.

Wow. Really. Your gonna not reactivate bass agent and take a vote....hahaha. This place has become a joke. As many times as you fooks have pissed me off and talked smack and now some of you cant hack it. You have Moderators that dont even ride Dukes anymore and are still in charge of the site. Im ashamed to be part of this whole forum at the moment. Some of you should take a step back because none of you want to become moderators and someone did. I vote to have him in and add alittle spunk for all you old bastards! My two cents....

Someones vertigo is kickin in. I'll be band for that comment.lol

Bring Bass back. Don't fook it up! That is all.

Bass agent still appears as a mod on my screen.... Don't think it ever changed, what you guys on about!?

Is the "Naked Pictures" thread still good? I haven't been game to click on it seeing as Bassagent posted there last, and that was after he came out as a flaming pink, rainbow unicorn moderator.

Think Crotchrockety was stirring it up like his avatar

He's still on there, give him a chance I suppose. But you can be sure if and when he does rise to the bait you lot leave him, his rights will more than likely be removed.

Kowekiller don't get your knickers in a twist, you had the chance to step up like everyone else. Being a Moderator isn't a place of power its just a few guys helping out keeping the place tidy and making sure nothing too offensive makes its way on here. That's it. I'm certainly not in charge I just want to help out. The opinion seems to be that the majority think that Bassagent would fook it up, that's why I'm staying for now.

You know where the door is if you're that ashamed..

This thread is the new "ignore this thread"

He changed his own email by the sound of things. If you change your email a admin has to verify your account again. It's done now. Chill out guys, this thread has gone way over the top it really has.

The Gin Reaper has also been added as an Mod as well guys. Welcome on board dude.

Okay so I'm going to put this in list form to make it easier:

-Why is it that all of you somehow find that there is good reason to talk all this shit about me and that somehow its cool for all of you to say and do whatever you want but when I do it its some major travesty?

-You all jump me in the sense I'm going to be some horrible moderator. You all sound like a bunch of immature kids crying with your mouths wide open and tears flowing. Its pretty damn pathetic

-I stepped up to klinck to do work to help this forum as in ALL OF YOU. yet, for some reason you're all lashing back out of some misplaced fear of some crazy madman mod thing happening... get real. Seriously.

Its pretty fooking pathetic that I have to read all you babies crying out loud when all I did was try to offer my time to help out.

If its as you say and as it seems the majority feel like their lives are over because I'm a mod now and want to just talk a bunch of shit... I really don't know if I want to fooking help out at all to a community that's egotistical. You guys can oust me all you like, I don't need to feel wanted by any of you in this place lol.

Tldr: fook me so fook you I guess.

Go ahead and take my mod power away, I don't feel like helping a bunch of spinless cowards who only care to insult away.

Sad thing is, most of the shit I do is just sarcastic or fooking around, but I guess I'm too young and crash too much for you guys to not be offended by everything I do.

Good day!

Tldr = too long didn't read (for the lazier people lol)

My "critics" have VERY exaggerated basis of criticism on me.

Its like everyone plays so damn high n mighty here, and only my shit stinks. Its sad. Anyone who says otherwise is just living in their own ignorance and denial

Bass I vote for you to stay, if only to add a bit of conflict and liven the place up.
This is by far the best thread I have read in ages.

We should have a place to talk about our feelings...you know like all those twilight kids today.

this is becoming a gold standard thread It really is. Seems my hasty move has actually livened the forum up. It has been a bit sterile of late. No need to thank me guys, all in a days work at SD.net.

Just arrived in LA...log on and this shit is still going on. WTF?!?!

I think the more sensitive amongst us need to start bottleing up their feelings and think before their fingers touch the keyboard. There are other websites for folks wanting to get all....whatever the fook this is.

This is THE fooking KTM Superduke forum....not this bullshit.

I knew you'd bring that pm public. Just wanted to see your immaturity even further haha

Anyone else here privileged to a private little love note from Pink Panties Boy, or am I the only one "special" enough for the honor?

It would be soooooo nice to know I'm the only one.

Yes, this is definitely a "gold standard" thread.

SDNerd is thankful to R.M. Nixon for taking the US off the arbitrary "gold standard".

I really hope I never accidentally see any of you other California riders on here. At least 2 people are cool dudes and fun to ride with.

Most of these guys are good guys. Everyones got their own opinions and and have head butted eachother from time to time. Past is the past. Leave it at that. Move on already and lets start disagreeing on tyres and tuning.

No it's not a threat. I just would never want to ride with you guys.

Before, I would have most likely thought, "Well they are douches online, but maybe cool people in person." Doubt that now, though

@Lowrance: Wow buddy, now THAT sounds like a threat. You're so cool

Just responding in kind....

You just don't get it do you. Stop acting like a little fuckwit and you'll not be treated like one.

Oh, and by the way, based on your self reported riding ability, you'd be the last person I'd have along on a ride. No Squids allowed.

Oh yeah Lowrance, I'd most likely wheelie right into you while riding anyways. while wearing a tshirt, shorts, and some flipflops of course

I take every turn in first gear at 10mph. I just can't ride at all. I buy bikes to look cool at starbucks lol

Dude, mike. I never said you banned me. You have everything all wrong.

Ducati Pete mentioned the Pink thing, so I changed the global mod setting to be colored pink, right away I realised it changed your name too, then made that post. Then I checked my phone getting spammed with the emails (my email on here was my main email) and i needed to change it so my phone wouldn't keep getting notifications. I literally did this not more than 10 minutes after changing the name to pink and photoshopping my avatar real quick. Also, I didn't know any of the admin's on here emails, so I figured since I knew you I could just hit up Mike and Lance to message you to let you know that my new email needed to be activated. I didn't think it'd be such a huge deal. It's really as simple as that

All the posts about people complaining about a pink name and what not happened AFTER i was unable to login to the site.

Please get your facts straight dude. All this animosity is for no reason

Hi, may I enter my input?

I don't even read this topic anymore as this does not make sense. Literally here are about 5 posters in total and all the other forum is quiet. So PLEASE these 5 persons, think twice is this discussion REALLY that important to you here? Moderator input is subtle, and forum members use clean environment here to have one of the best forums available. So many thanks to all moderators who has kept it that way for a years. And many thanks in advance to all moderators who will do it in future.

PS. Relax about Bass, he is cool guy in real life I am sure. Passionate rider, SDR owner and soon may be 2 SDR-s, new and old. And Bass, relax about others. You have nothing to prove. Lets keep this forum clean and tidy.

LMAO at "ASSHATERY"

LMAO

moderators fighting

fook me is this still going on Can everyone take a step back please and count to 10.. Or 10,000 if that what it takes.

At this rate we'll have to lock down the new moderator thread
