Should FMF be a moderator?

Hate to break it to you Butterball.
It's not happening.

Nice try though.

Maybe wait a few more years, you know, when memories fade.

I see a small ray of hope in what you say that gives me reason to be optimistic that I won't need to wait a few more years to gain your support.

I hope that this fact about my chess rating doesn't undermine, in your mind anyway, my intellectual and interpersonal ability to be a fairminded moderator.

Because forum moderation involves a different skill set than chess?

I have no plans to be a chess moderator. I would simply weigh the merits of alerts in terms of their TOS compliance and decide whether or not to delete the posts in question.

Couldn't Russ just retire all the human moderators and subscribe to an AIJU service?

I don't think your concern is something for anyone "in the society" to worry about but thank you for expressing it.

I think my chess rating is irrelevant but I welcome your contribution.

That would be your prerogative as a moderator if you ~ and the website ~ believed that the posting in question violated the TOS.

As a moderator, I would take Russ's advice on banning posters, while dealing with alerted posts independently in the context of the TOS.
