I can't read *everything*!

I thought mods were supposed to read everything....

I've been awarded a trophy for spending eight whole years procrastinating on Cycle Chat... really must get out more.

Lovely, how old is he? Happy days ahead.

Born on 1st July and we can take him home on the 8th September.

Aunty Hop is moving in for puppy sitting duties whilst I finish off at work.

Can't wait

I've been awarded a trophy for spending eight whole years procrastinating on Cycle Chat... really must get out more.

And I got one for my second CC-versary.

 

[Reynard]

Good luck, try and fall on something soft.

I didn't.

Fall on something soft, that is. Took the skin off my left knee and elbow. Ouch.

At least I got the clipless moment out of the way before getting going. Once I was going, I was fine. Right cleat came loose about halfway through the ride, but need to tweak the position slightly anyway - both feet need just a fraction more "toe out".

Well done !

You'd be surprised how many people seem to think Mods do read everything.
We get reports that say "This terrible thing has been up for five minutes, so obviously the Mods are OK with this?"
It gets a bit wearing occasionally.

 

[Reynard]

Eh, I used to be a mod on a couple of motor racing forums back in the day. Know exactly where you're coming from @TheDoctor

 

[TheDoctor]

It's inevitable really. There's (obviously) many more members than there are Mods, so you just can't keep up.
We look at all the reported posts, and obviously we'll come across things as we use CC, but we do rely heavily on people reporting things.

You're not supposed to let that first bit slip.

 

[TheDoctor]

Well, I think a bit of openness does no harm.
We're CC members first and foremost, and everyone wants CC to be a supportive, inclusive and fun place to be.
We've had an awful lot of CC rides, a lot of meet-ups and at least two weddings.
I say 'at least' because I know of two where I know both parties., and they met through CC.

It must be a pretty thankless task. Keep up the good work though, it's a very pleasant place with lots of lovely people.
