I agree it might be a good time to let a couple go who have maybe moved to another country and not posted on CBF for quite some time. Tinx comes to mind. Not seen or heard of him since he moved away. Hope you don’t mind me mentioning that, Andy.

I don’t think you actually need to live in or own a property in Turkey to be a mod but I do think we need those who are still active on the forum. By active I mean actually coming on to view not necessarily posting.

Having said all that the moderation is a doddle these days. Not much to do tbh.

It may surprise some of you to know that I'm currently a moderator on a non-Turkey related forum and that, in the past, I moderated on two Turkey related forums.

I really don't think it necessary for any of the moderators to be resident in Calis, Fethiye or Turkey for that matter. What is important is that they have some knowledge of the area and, in the event of a disagreement or dispute, are willing to step in and do what their position suggests, moderate.

It's the members that supply the vast majority of the information on any forum and the moderators, in general, are there purely to step in if anything untoward kicks-off or there's an attempt at a spamming attack.

Totally agree but I think we have one or two that do not frequent the forum any more. I stand corrected if I am wrong on that.

I don't think those one or two need replacing. Even at it's peak the daily traffic on the forum doesn't warrant any more moderators.

Good point ... but if Scunner takes up Nichola's idea then we will have even more unless someone relinquishes their status.

Like you I don't think we need any more in number.
