Moderators - We need them to be encouraged
For goodness' sake, how has it come to this? If we do not have Moderator's, then folks, we are out of business. Let's get behind them.
You all have my support, and if I have a problem I will pm you. Otherwise I accept your judgements, right or wrong. But I accept them.
No Resignations!!!!!!!

I too can't believe that this is happening to Rizzo.
Full support from me as well.
As Phil B quite rightly points out - No Moderators = No Forum.
Rizzo gives alot of her time and effort to this site and IMHO successfully keeps things ticking over very well indeed, with good grace and humour thrown in 'Free of Charge'
What more could we ask for?

Rizzo is a great Moderator and has greatly assisted me in my short time as a Moderator.
A wealth of knowledge and it would be a great loss to the Forum.

I've not crossed the mods or been about enough recently to know what's been happening, but I've always thought Rizzo treads the line between keeping people in line and still expressing her own opinions and sticking to them really well.
If you don't carry on, then thank you for your time and effort, it was very much appreciated. If you stay on, then equally, I thank you and appreciate the time you volunteer.
At the end of it, it's volunteers who push forward much of grass-roots sport and they should be supported and encouraged.

This can't be allowed to happen. Rizzo is one of us (as for the fact all the Mods are or have been).
My experience is of a very fair, friendly and welcoming lady and one who took time to correspond with me personally as a result of one of my threads - always be appreciated that Rizzo!
We must be mad if we are attacking any of our Moderators.
We are reliant on the job they do so we can play our games here.
Maybe a bit of thought before emailing, posting or whatever and a bit of respect for the job they do regardless of whether or not the opinion they give differs for yours.

SPIKE
It's not the winning or losing but the taking apart which matters.

You wonder why I gave it up? This is frankly ridiculous. Rizzo is trying to do her best by everyone on this board. As I did, as tjs did before me, and as Tigerbeat also presently does. The sniping, criticism and downright back stabbing is what could possibly lose this forum its third moderator in not very long. Take a long hard look at yourselves. Is Rizzo editing titles really worth this?

Pathetic. I think certain people should grow up. The moderators are giving up their own time to give everyone a forum to post on, and the moaning and petty complaints remind me of being in primary school.
I would like to express my wholehearted support for everything that the moderators have done - and hopefully will continue to do for this site, and for the club.

Just to echo what has already been said above, I hope Rizzo doesn't leave and I hope that her comments in the sticky at the top of the forum remind people that the moderators do this job as volunteers and not because they have to.
Without them this site will close.
Please try to give Rizzo & Tigerbeat your full support and if you disagree with them, please discuss it with them in private!

While I do not post on here that often (still only a Tiger Cub), I do come on here most days and have done for a few years now. I have to say that I have never had any complaint about any of the moderators on this forum at any time whatsoever. That is something which I cannot say about every single article and post, but hey, we are all entitled to our opinion and I think that the mods do a very good job making sure that we all feel we can express our views (in reasonable language) and debate their merits with others without being verbally intimidated, attacked or abused.
I do not know what has triggered this off, but from my knowledge of Rizzo's posts (I do not know her personally) I would be most surprised if she has done anything that I personally would take offence at.
Being a moderator is not an easy job, after all, they only pop up to tell someone they are wrong, whether it be down to a mistake, error or unacceptable behaviour. Nobody likes being told they are wrong, some never accept they could be wrong (this is NOT directed at anyone here). You are never going to win popularity contests when your sole function is to nag people. But people on here do need nagging from time to time and I feel that our mods do this very well.
Please Rizzo, don't go . We need fair minded people like yourself.

I'm a member of four forums at present, and have been a member of another three or four in the past, and I will say that none of those forums had any moderators as dedicated, as friendly, as polite and as objective in disputes as Rizzo has been during her time moderating this forum. If Rizzo feels she's being harassed into resigning by certain posters here, then I truly hope that the next mod will be a really bad moderator, just so you realise what a good mod Rizzo always has been and continues to be.
I'd like to express publically my support for Rizzo as a mod and as one of the most positive influences on this forum. Thanks for everything you've done on this forum Rizzo, and hopefully you'll decide to stay on here so we can continue to enjoy your services as a mod.
P.S I may be slightly biased by the fact that Rizzo is also a Bon Jovi fan :P
