How about Lerxst?
He's been a cop and an MP. He's a regular forum member, and a lefty/centrist.
True, he can be a little aggressive at times, but certainly not as belligerent as some current members of the mod team. We're talking about the difference between a middle-aged man and a teenage boy or college-aged boy.

I think Lerxst would be another good candidate.

I think he'd be good. We do have garzauk and he's very left. But does he ever give anyone points for anything? I like him. I don't think any mod should feel like they have be around tons. But that's why we need more. There use to always be at least 1 or 2 mods on when you logged in. Now it's not uncommon for there to be none. I think NCFY would be a fun addition. He'd bring a fresh young perspective to mod discussions.
 
bub? He European! That's as lefty as you can get!

Ah...but the Belgians...they are so ....well, Belgian.

I think the mod team has plenty of "fresh, young perspectives" already.
I think it needs to be tempered with some older and wiser ones, personally.

I love bub. Do you think he could be tough though?

I think you have to have fairly thick skin to be a mod. Plus you have to have the patience to listen to all that hideous whining and when people report a post you have to go read through the thread even if it's a tediously boring thread and all the folks involved are tards. :shock:

I think bub could doit
 
How about UtahBill?
True, he's far right, but at least he's been around a long time. And he's old.
And he's a bit of a maverick: he's got some interesting and unexpected views on typical "conservative litmus test" issues, like religion.
He's got interesting views on education.
He's a convert to LDS, I believe, from conservative christianity, so he knows, in effect, what it's like to be stigmatized, to some extent. The LDS certainly knows what that's like.
I think that's important in a community leader, even a leader of something as ultimately irrelevant as an internet forum.
I think, for a long while, the prevalence of college student and college-age mods was a problem.
There is so much they don't really understand, simply because of their age, privilege, and dearth of life experience. They're mostly gone now, though.

This is something I would appreciate. Life experience offers something you can't get anywhere else.
 
Arcana XV --but she's not around a whole lot. She is left, and very reasonable and judicious AND a woman.

I dunno. Nothing about her screams "mod material" to me.
What about Laila, if we're going there?

kandahar would make a great mod too.

Kandahar would be a safe, solid choice.
 
What about Lightdemon?

I'd sooner see Lachean chosen, from that demographic.
He's been around longer than I have. Years.
He used to be very active; lately, less.
But still more than most of the mods.
 
Ooh, Ethereal. How about him?
I could bribe him with nudie pics whenever I get in trouble. :2wave:

j/k :mrgreen:
 
Hey moderators--There are a slew of names for you to look over. There have to be a few here who would be a good fit.

Start writing those recruitment letters :cool:

Why--what is that gives you pause?

Lachean would be okay--but he is NEVER wrong--even when he is.:mrgreen:

Oh--I guess that's not true...as long as you can show it to him materially--like in his own print...:cool:
 
I have to say I'm entirely against the idea of bub.
He's far too suggestible. Pack mentality.
It's quite typical for his age.
We need strong people who are not susceptible to peer pressure, which is why I'm mostly recommending older people and people who do not seem to rely overly on this forum for their social interaction (not that there's anything wrong with that; I just don't see that it's a good qualification for leadership of the community).

He would be great--but I didn't want to say that since he's conservative. I was looking for lefties.;)

Ethereal is a youngster.;) But he'd be great.

I was j/k.
He's an angel, but I don't think he'd be a good choice for mod. Too young, too much emotional investment.

The choice is ultimately up to vauge, however (probably with input from Cap'n and tashah) and I don't think our opinions are going to be taken much into account.
Ethereal is in fact probably exactly what Vauge would be looking for in a moderator.
 
This is not the way to go about this.

We need mods.
Vauge is no longer active on this board.
The application process has apparently broken down.

How else can we "go about it"?
I already said that i doubt our opinions will be taken into account.
But if he wants them, here they are.
Since he's not an active member of the community, it would be hard for him to ascertain who has leadership qualities and who doesn't without input from the active members.
