Forum moderators - call for volunteers

And make sure they're not British. I want an AMERICAN mod!

To be considered you will need to have been active on the site for over a year, fairly active in the forums and have no history of making controversial posts.
Yes, I appreciate that rules out most people, but there must be few people who still qualify, right?

LOL...Funny stuff Russ!

With this statement concerning controversial posts, you would have to rule out at least 3 of your active Mods. 😉

Whoever the new mod ends up being make sure he/she has some balls for once.

I resent that 😛.

What should the nationality matter?

Long as they are fair, with no chips on their shoulders and personal vendetta's to settle.

I think we should have a vote between you and trev and see who wins. 😉

It matters completely. I don't want no lowly African moderating me. Or even worse, a Canadian! *Shudder*

(Obviously, I was joking)

I know it is not as funny if you have to explain it. Perhaps someday I will get your humour.😕

So, are you putting your name in?

I've been a mod on some big forums before. So I'd like to say that I will not run, if selected I will not serve.

I'd give it a shot as mod, if you want.

Give me something to do while playing poker.

Rationale for Anonymity


(1) Principle of 'need to know' (Russ & Chris are under no obligation whatever to announce their selection of volunteer staff at a point in time or to muddy the fixed Site Map water by revealing their identities to the site membership rank and file).

(2) Principle of fairness to all members (served by eliminating the penalizing target otherwise circumstantially and permanently pinned to the backs of volunteer mods).

(3) Principle of effective use of limited resources (by creating an environment which enables/leverages unencumbered and effective interaction... rather than strain to become more efficient within a context conducive to promoting inefficiency.

It stems from an old joke. It wasn't that funny to begin with, I admit.

No, I'm not putting my name in. I have a long history of controlversial posts.

Probably the contorversial posts rule me out, but I volunteer anyway.

If at all possible, can the new mod(s) be anonymous? Having them known greatly undermines their effectiveness.

Having said that, I'll volunteer. I'll even resubscribe. I have impressive credentials.

Did you read the part about controversial posts?

All we need is you as a Mod!

Sure would be nice to have someone who wasn't in the friend group.

A fresh outlook is what is needed, seriously. Not one of the good 'ole boys.

I nominate Very Rusty.

Ha, ha, now that was funny Darv 🙂

I believe we should look at some of the woman on the site.

The mods are all Male right now!
