...What are the qualifications? Who oversees the mods?....who is the
"main-mod"?
Just curious...Thanks.

SJK · 23 June 2012, 10:27 AM

I heard an anonymous pledge of $1,000,000 will get you mod status.

maybe...

HL65 · 23 June 2012, 10:49 AM

Strange thread and after doing a quick IP search now I know why. Bye bye Pelon....

PS. There is no main Mod but for right now(this very second)as I ban you I guess I am...

Busted

By the way I banned both of your profiles so that makes 3 Pelon!

Now time to block your IP address.

joe100 · 23 June 2012, 11:14 AM

The word "pelon" probably isn't the best word to use... It's a well known Spanish slang term.

I love in the Southwest USA and speak enough Spanish to get by.

Not getting involved here, just letting you know that word perhaps doesn't mean what you think it means...

Thanks but that was his other username not a word I am using for the sake of using. I don't think it means anything other than his old banned username.

joe100 · 23 June 2012, 11:22 AM

Oh! Haha well in that case glad he was banned for that reason alone! Hahaha. I showed a native speaking friend just now and he laughed pretty hard.

Lanfor · 23 June 2012, 11:58 AM

good riddance !

Hairdude1 · 23 June 2012, 12:04 PM

I was just wondering the other day how a 'mod' became a 'mod'. All the mods here are great and seem to have a great wealth of knowledge of horology. I'm just curious how they got the job.

FremStar · 23 June 2012, 12:32 PM

Ridiculous!!!! Hahahaha!

xhype · 23 June 2012, 12:38 PM

What is a mod??????
Would you like to find out.

I've heard tell that these mythical mods are not of this world. Stunning good looks, charismatic personalities, full heads of hair and buns of steel. And word is that one cannot safely gaze upon the true main-mod, for his power consumes mere mortals.

You couldn't be further from the truth Craig!!

Well maybe....everything except the full head of hair is true!!

Ok I just google it well....... I guess it is what it is no biggie. So I'll stay away from asking that question before I get banned also lol.

Dan2010 · 23 June 2012, 12:54 PM

I just put a "mod" on my watch..................NATO baby!

interesting. The OP gets banned, the thread continues.

Boothroyd · 23 June 2012, 02:30 PM

I was going to ask about this....but I now hope I don't get zapped for doing so--here goes: is there an historical thread that explains the origination of TRF? Can't find one directly...seems to have migrated from an earlier site no longer accessible. Thank you in advance!

And along the same lines, have any of you tried using Borax in your dishwasher and/or washing machine? It's really quite an amazing product.
