This place deserves and can do much better. Best, V.

For the last six months I have been involved in cancer care in my day job. I admit this had taken all my time. This moderator position is entirely voluntary. I have been funding all the Baselworld reports from my pocket. I am happy to step away. Best Rega... 

From one moderator to another I understand the commitment that is required on a daily basis. In my opinion you have dedicated a great deal of time and effort to our community. We all sometimes need to take care of the work life balance. I would like you t... 

But quite frankly, this hasn’t been a problem for the last six months only. It’s probably unfair to compare your moderatorship with Mark’s because he was very active. However, in my opinion, there’s plenty of room for improvement and the WPS management sh... 

I don’t want you to think anything wrong with me I have no issues you raising this and will happily abide with the will of the forum members and WPS management Best Imran

Are you throwing your hat in the ring?

This definitely wasn’t the purpose of my post.

We can go back and say mark was excellent or even further back and compliment other moderators. The site is certainly different but so is every other site Instagram has become the number one site for posting but I agree it is very poor for discussion whic... 

I’ve been a member for years and not noticed any issues that would lead me to criticise the superb job done by Miranda or any of the others mods.

A moderator should moderate. Where is the moderation? If you haven’t noticed any changes in moderation of the PP forum after Mark left, I can’t help. That’s probably because you are not a very active member too which approx. 950 posts in 14 years indicate... 

But strangely, there seems to be only a thin line between getting banned and becoming a moderator. You know what I’m talking about Captain. 😉

Why not step up if you are not happy and start making some interesting threads of your own!

What could a moderator do? I neither need press releases nor the occasional ban. I would say PP has so many active contributors that make that Subforum an active place - theres no need to energize it. Thank you Miranda for the work you are doing in real l... 

All seems fine to me.

.... I suggest you go to the search function and type “Mark in Paris”. Then you will find out what a moderator can do.

He made me buy my first Patek after a very nice review he posted here in 2014 or 2015. And i can agree that he did a great job. But as i said, i know that my opinion should not count.

And obviously, those who express their opinion disagree with me which is perfectly fine.

I chose to see a message from someone who want Puristpro to be a major forum about Patek Philippe with more contents. Here, on Purist we are always keen to criticize Hodinkee but we can’t deny they do have some excellent contents. I now follow Baron on hi... 

we all could post more in depth content indeed. It should not only be about nice pictures here. I'll do my best in the future.

Nor the contact, English isn’t my mother tongue.

If I didn’t care about this place, I would just say nothing and leave. Many people take criticism as something negative but it’s not. Without reflection and (self-)criticism things will not change and improve. Joe is indeed a very knowledgeable and eloque... 

That Imran is one of the most knowledgeable purists when it comes to Patek, old and new, and we are blessed to have him as our moderator. He has strong contacts all the way to the top of the brand which is useful for when new releases are planned and my v... 

I don’t post much but have been around for a while and lurking for an even longer time before that. I have had the privilege of getting to know Imran and many other members and mods (past and present) all of whom I have come to respect - and some I am for... 

May I get fun back now?

True! 😊 Best Thomas
