I would like to volunteer as a Game Mod.
I've had previous experience in the role, being one of the original Game Mods in 2005, and did the job for over a year.
If I am allowed to support others who have volunteered, I hope that Gatecrasher and Tony are selected. Gatecrasher has been an outstanding Game Mod and a team without him is almost unthinkable.
I was already unavailable when the first group of gamemods were selected. I hardly play any serious chess since 3 years, except for tutoring or with friends, most often setup/unrated. That means I am not a good candidate and people better use their vote towards other candidates. I would like to support David Tebb, Gatecrasher, !Tony! and Korch.
Originally posted by KorchI think we should have more than 3; at least 5 as a minimum. That would spread the workload as well as making sure there are enough Game Mods should one or two decide to quit or go on hiatus for an extended period (hey, it happens; real life does intrude upon RHP sometimes - unfortunately).
From all volunteers my top 3 (if I`m not including myself 😛 ) would be David Tebb, Gatecrasher and Tony.
Originally posted by no1marauderI agree; it would also help to ensure that there's no bias (the bigger the team, the smaller the influence a biased mod would have), and it would make it easier to handle a situation like the one that led to this whole disaster.

Originally posted by NordlysIt might be a good trust-booster if they started by investigating each other...

Originally posted by murrowI don't know...when you work together you become a team...There is always a chance of personal disagreements on teams. Or everyone getting along so well, no one would want to point a finger at anyone else....Perhaps some kind of outside Moderation?? Just kind of throwing it out there...The Admins will do what they decide and that will be that. !!!!

Just my humble opinion. If anyone is to be considered to be a game mod. Finish all games at RHP and be a non playing member here. That way there will be no suspiscion(s) as to your manipulating games, innuendo of cheating. This should clear up any collusion that has surfaced. Russ has some serious problems to deal with and this sudden re-recruitment of mods is a dangerous precident considering the collateral damage control has not been settled! Just another re-recruit of other players does not alter the fundimental problems now swirling. Once those are settled cleanly, efficiently, then and only then should there be a consideration for a mod team and only to non playing members! Otherwise it is just new wine in old wine skins!!!
Originally posted by KatonahDo you seriously think that Russ will be able to find several people who are willing to give up playing on the site and spend hours and hours analysing other players' games instead?

Originally posted by KatonahI guess you can get corrupt policemen and judges on the take, but does that necessitate the dropping of the police force, or scrapping the judicial system?
Only way to have a clean above board suspiscion free team of game moderation. Like I said, you are just clothing the same corrupt system in new clothes. The alternative is to drop the program.
The system is not corrupt. The fact that we arrived where we are today shows that it works. Game mods, like anyone else, are not above rule 3(b). It applies to each and every one of us playing here.
