Thread: Welcome to the new Moderators!

Gratz to all the new mods. May your disputes be few and your actions wise.

There goes the neighborhood....

O_S was chuffed to bits that he got to ban someone on his first day!

Dont let the power go to his head.

sid,

Does that mean I don't get to post nothing no more?

???

It was a spammer that he banned. Buisness as usual

Excellent news! Some good and fair minded folks in that group for sure - but how did Gugi get in?

All the best and I look forward to not being moderated too often I hope - but that will depend on me more than anything I suppose!

Congrats all!

James.

The mod carries a five pound hammer and the super mod carries a twenty pound sledge.

spendur,

We prefer to call that larger hammer a "maul" as its name so wonderfully describes its function.

Sorry if this propagates an tangent.

Maybe not? I was taught that such things would be hyphenated when used in an adjective sense, otherwise not. So, depending upon its usage, you will see it both ways. Here's a snippet from a proof-reading forum:

... a hyphen is used to join two words into effectively one word, when used adjectivally. It avoids ambiguity where it might exist. E.g.,

A copper coin dispenser
A copper-coin dispenser
A copper coin-dispenser

So, a thank-you note would be correct usage, as would thank you gentlemen.

Then again, I'm a "USAnian"
YMMV
