Re: Mod?

That would be great Burlington_Northern_3140. That was what I was saying on my last post about there being more than one.
Nice thought, but impractical. It is most unlikely any three moderators would be on at the same time. When action is needed, it is needed NOW, not next week.Burlington_Northern_3140 wrote:Now, another idea I had is that all three of us can be moderators. Each of us should consult with each other before amending a rule or ban. This would allow the three of us to act as a committee. We would require two other moderators to agree and vote for our idea before allowing it to be carried out. Comments?

I wish the best of luck to whoever winds up being selected as moderator of this forum. We have seen how childish and immature some of our forum members have behaved, so whoever is selected could have their hands full. I hope that person will have the authority to temp ban those who misbehave on this forum as I believe it is the best method to get the miscreant's attention.

Burlington_Northern_3140 wrote:Sarcasm is easy. Now I did expect to get you to obsess over trying to be shrewed. That is exactly why I said I was sarcastic. Now, judge for yourself on this post. Now I never did have any such SHELL. I have always held an opinion. I, being misinformed and not caring to inform myself, didn't have the right one. Now, I have informed myself. So, I say: Who cares ban them all! You dun want me as mod. I shouldn't have asked.
Edit: I'm just too evil you know...

Honestly I gave up waiting for someone to sort out the permissions issues. If someone can sort these out I would be willing to help out at moderating but with Falc's recent decision to close the forum I am not sure if it matters.dwax wrote:At one time atani was talking to Falconer about the job, never hear anymore.
