Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

The problem is, at least for me, is we don't know who would be good for it. I mean sure we could probably pick the most active members, but that doesn't mean that someone given the position wouldn't step up to the plate.

Listen, its not a perfect system and it isn't even decided yet, but I figured giving everyone a trial run would be for the best. People can surprise you, I hope.

You should just make me a mod so I can make a drunk forum.

Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

I'll do my part...I can make sure to post tons of porn and racist posts and stuff that week to keep the new mods on edge. :D

Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

What would expectations be? Like people have said, there's not really too much "moderating" that needs to go on. Quite honestly (and I don't know much about running a message board, so I could be completely wrong), I don't see why there even needs to be a moderator behind you and Typhoid beyond formality...? Or are you just looking for people to bring spice to the message board, 'cause anyone and everyone could help with that without being able to delete posts or whatever.

Whatever the reasons, I agree with Dylflon that an "open audition" is a pretty silly idea. Personally, I think you and Typhoid should privately discuss what members would be good for the job and PM them and discuss with each person about expectations and responsibilities and what they would bring to the table. Or, talk to everyone who posted in this thread. Or talk to everyone. But I think just giving whoever supreme mod powers and letting them run loose is, again, silly.

*Dylflon shrugs and walks away*

Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

Who said anything about 'supreme mod powers'? :ohreilly: :p

Basically it's formality, mixed with giving someone the 'responsibility' of creating discussable threads every so often.

More about addition than subtraction.

Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

Need more front page discussion with the possibility of contributing articles and editorials and less mod discussion. This place isn't unruly and I think we are all mature adults. And, in fact, I'm amazed at some of the moderating that does happen around here....

Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

It's not really about actual moderating, as I just said:

Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

I agree with Combine. He should be a mod

Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

We dont need a mod, what this forum really lacks is a troll like capablemachine, i miss that bastard...

Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

Maybe we shouldn't call em mods then.

Maybe content generators with powers.

Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

Well when you phrase it like that it just sounds like these people need to do work. :p

Re: GT Mod Sign-Up
 

capablemachine was here?

...hey wait a second. You're here? You're alive!
