That would be great Burlington_Northern_3140. That was what I was saying on my last post about there being more than one.

Selecting a moderator is Falconer's responsibility. It is not a popularity contest. And even if it were, I wouldn't wish a moderator's title on anyone--it is a thankless task.

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?
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.

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.

I agree with all of that. Except for one thing: I never considered myself popular, I was kind of hoping folks actually thought I was well suited for the job. And who better to spot a miscreant (great and underused word btw) than a former miscreant??

I also hope that all of our passionate discussion and concern for the forum helps falconer realize were not a bad bunch after all :wink:

Just throwing out ideas. I see your point. Bob is definately suited to the job. He is a shrewd and terribly evil, power hungry, monster, as you all know. :P What is in GREEN is sarcastic. What is in BLUE is serious.

Well, if nothing else... getting rid of the troublemakers has caused BN to come out of his shell... and I for one, think it is a good thing.

Just so you know BN, I'm dead serious-I'm not nearly as talented as you sir on the sarcasm lol.

Sarcasm is easy. :wink: :twisted: Now I did expect to get you to obsess over trying to be shrewed. That is exactly why I said I was sarcastic. :shock: :twisted: Now, judge for yourself on this post. :twisted: 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. :lol: Now, I have informed myself. So, I say: Who cares ban them all! :lol: You dun want me as mod. I shouldn't have asked. :lol:

Edit: I'm just too evil you know...

As long as you think I'm shrewd... I think we're in agreement.

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.
