  1. Explain something to me guys...

     

    Reaper is the moderator of the Olympiacos forums. As such he has the authority to moderate content any which way he sees fit with the goal of augmenting the quality of posts in these forums and to make sure that expression of opinion is not suppressed . It is entirely up to his judgement to keep content (posts), edit where appropriate or delete. That is the role of the moderator. That is what he is asked to do.

     

    That being said, the performance of a moderator is evaluated on a constant basis by his peers (the Moderators), the Supermods and the Admins. These are the general principles by which these forums operate.

     

    In the moderating team, we don't think of moderators as team supporters. Rather, we treat them as individuals that have reached a maturity level that allows them to work with other team members in an effort to maintain a friendly and welcoming forum.

     

    We hope you enjoy these forums and continue to participate in a way that elevates general awareness and provides food for thought in all threads and conversations.

  2. This is the ballot....

    For those that don't read Greek, it reads:

    "Should the proposed agreement be accepted, which was submitted by the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund in the Eurogroup of 25.06.2015 and consists of two parts, which constitute their unified proposal?"

     

    "The first document is entitled 'Reforms for the Completion of the Current Program and Beyond' and the second 'Preliminary Debt Sustainability Analysis'."

     

    Beside the question are two boxes: "Not approved/No; Approved/Yes".

     

    How many Greeks do you think have read the plans for 'Reforms for the Completion of the Current Program and Beyond' and 'Preliminary debt sustainability Analysis' ?

  3. 'annexed' something that was historically theirs

    What's your definition of 'historically'? The fact that it was under Russian control from 1783 - 1954 ? The Dodecanese were part of the Ottoman Empire from 1522-1912. Do you think that the Dodecanese belong 'historically' to the Turks? Do you think the Turks will deservedly annex them? The fact is that Crimea was a part of Ukraine after 1954. Epirus incorporated into Greece after the First Balkan War of 1912?1913. Do you think Albanians can justifiably lay claim on Epirus?

     

     

    by the way its the germans and the EU that have mooted the idea of taking a greek island as debt repayment.

    Sure, anybody can say anything. I don't recall Angela Merkel or Francois Hollande giving an official interview on the subject matter though. Media sensationalism should not create political opinions, but unfortunately is does.

     

    and what do other EU citizens think of us

    Yes, it's a war of words, and public opinion is key. However I don't see us helping ourselves with electing a leader like Tsipras heading a party like SYRIZA.  They are in shambles and don't even have a unified political position. Let's not blame others for our inability to function as a nation. Let's not blame others for the fact the we do not have political leaders capable of carrying Greece out of this hole that was dug by our own corrupt politicians. We (the Greeks) have to find the will to get through and decide what it is that we want as a people. (Then we can start blaming the ...Germans  :box: )

  4. Greece should cultivate closer ties with Russia and provide them with a base on one of our islands facing Turkey with plenty of anti-aircraft batteries. :rolleyes:

    You mean just like Ukraine did with the Russians by offering Crimea as a base before in was annexed? :la: Which island would you like the Russians to annex? :box: I suggest you reconsider this idea. :huh:

     

    I think mingling with Putin's Russia is bad news. But I do not have any high expectation from Tsipras and his government - it's more like let's all hope some miracle happens. I don't see him retaining his "Prime Minister" hat for very long.
