This thread is kind of tongue in cheek. If it sparks some mod ideas....that's fine. If not :shrug:

It's all good.

He's just scared of the Vatican taking over control of the forum..Benny 16 scares him..

...remember, I said I'm a pawn of the Vatican. He might be taking me seriously.









(I'm just teasing you Arch;):2razz:)
 
Why--what is that gives you pause [about Lightdemon]?

Silly reason, I guess.
I'm still a little hung up on that "Who's the most articulate forum member?" thread.
Starting an upstairs thread entitled "Who is the most articulate forum member?" and then starting a poll about that, which includes the moderators and three or four of the threadstarter's closest friends, none of whom are particularly known for their articulatory skills.

It seems like un-modly behavior (not that there's any real guideline for what constitutes 'modly behavior" these days).

I don't believe the thread was started with the intent of causing hard feelings; in fact, I know it was not.
That's what worries me.
It takes a very immature and inexperienced person to believe that such a thing would possibly not cause discontent.

Even that "say something nice" thread we had in off-topic a few months ago; if you remember, I chose not to single anyone out by name, including those who singled me out. Jallman also declined to single anyone out for special recognition, and I respected that.

A thing like that can't help but be upsetting to people who aren't recognized or singled out, whether or not they say anything.

A mod- a real mod- would know this.

Sure, if she wants to. I don't really care who is a moderator, but I think we're missing the point. This forum needs less moderation, not more of it. A forum can survive quite easily with only two or three moderators so long as they do not construct a litany of rules and regulations which they must constantly uphold and enforce.

The only things which really need to be guarded against are spamming, fraud, frequent and outright rudeness that has absolutely no contextual relevance, and other things of a similar nature. I think a little incivility is warranted every now and again. It keeps things interesting and adds character to the discussion.

The mod who moderates least moderates best, I always say, but should Felicity be considered I will support her nomination.

Ooh, Ethereal. How about him?
I could bribe him with nudie pics whenever I get in trouble.

j/k

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

I would refuse any such nominations and if I were to accept I would never moderate anything...ever.

I guess you have a point--I think, though that would be a silly thing to discount his pretty even keeled attitude. So he started a thread that wasn't a hot idea. We've all been there--done that. It just stung you in particular. Didn't he say as much in that thread--I mean, that it wasn't meant to hurt anyone? --you can't be accountible to everyone's feelings...

That's Mod material right there. At first, Charlie didn't want the chocolate factory, but then Willy made an offer he couldn't refuse. Nothing against Felicity though. Even if her spiritual leader reminds me of Emperor Palpatine (jay kay)
 
Missypea it was about your black President.sorry.

This is an eye-opener.

You know, I think we're viewing this in the context of what is, presently, on this forum.
Under the current conditions, which member would most benefit the community as an addition to the mod team.

I certainly agree, in a perfect world (or on a perfect forum) with everything you say here.

But I don't think the forum rules or moderation style is going to alter or lessen significantly, so i think what we're looking at is: under the current circumstances, who would make the best mod?
I certainly agree that nothing more than spam, threats, and illegal postings really need to be moderated.
But many other things here are moderated; therefore we need more moderators to enforce all these rules fairly and even-handedly, moderators that are actually here, rather than moderators who swoop in once every two months and suspend contributers for no reason, then disappear for another two months.

Oddly enough I think when there were more active mods there was less moderation, or less notable moderation. When a problem arises and you have 7 active mods discussing it chances are 3 or 4 of them are going to decide it's no big deal. That attitude has an effect on the remaining 3 or 4 who might have considered the problem or issue huge. The laid back folks keep the more intense ones grounded so to speak.

For example lets say there's a blow up in some forum. Perhaps Tashah and Captn think it's a huge deal requiring massive discipline but Galen and Garza UK consider it much to do about nothing. Then ultimately after a mod discussion it's likely a more medium approach is taken in dishing out punishment. Different people take different things to heart, blow different molehills out of proportion, a large active mod team keeps them in check. Levels things out. Right now we have 2-3 active mods. That's not enough to balance out and level mod discussion. IMO. Folks are whining lately that the mods are being too strict. I think it's the absence of a varied team that they're objecting too.
 
I still say Tucker Case is #1.

We all agree that Tucker Case is #1.
Tucker Case is, however, fairly invested in remaining #1, making him a poor choice for a mod, which would result in his fairly rapid descent to, oh, about #207.

One can't be both a cop and a comedian.
The people one is trying to police will be left distinctly unamused.
In the end, the only way to reconcile this is to make them the butt of your jokes, and that's not what Tucker's about.
His jokes are all on himself.

I like Tucker too--but...just for transparency's sake--he did think Zyphlin's 6a on me was reasonable. Just sayin'....:mrgreen:

Pff, he'd just go from being #1 to being #1M.

Erm, I mean. Right below captain courtesy of course :2razz:

Perhaps. I've been wrong before.
I wouldn't bank on it though, and it would truly be a crippling loss to this forum if we lost who Tucker is and the role he fills now, in our pursuit of building a better mod team.

In all fairness, I am not taking this thread seriously. The answers presented are silly, the concept of needing more moderation on THIS forum is silly.

I'm just having fun :2wave:

No, the concept is not silly.
And although we don't expect our suggestions to be taken seriously, we are for the most part serious.

More mods does not mean more moderation. They are two different things. But still...I am actually more interested in being a Mediator rather than a Moderator. But no one seems to like that idea.:(
 
Tucker -case yes yes yes as a mod,he is the greatest,also honest and the middle of the road,cant get any better than that.

He would be a wonderful President and missypea

as his vice President,what a team best in the land.
ps.Americanwoman can look after the middle east.

bless this forum
United STATES OF AMERICA.

Like I said. The options presented are silly.

I don't see why this forum needs more moderation at all. People know the consequences of breaking the rules, and if they should break those rules they are punished. Aside from the True Debate section, we can't expect all threads to be treated as a live debate with a full time guardian.

I think the moderation present is enough.
