Its a good thing you asked.

I really don't know, a sense of satisfaction? The ability to rename threads? Sense of community?

That said since we have a decent amount of sign-ups, I guess should mention how this will be done. Instead of picking at random or with our limited staff poll, I was thinking would give everyone who signed up a week or so as mod to see what they bring to the table. How they would they would handle the job. What we could expect from them in their roles, and the type of activity they bring.

Haha, there isn't that much to do around here. You're basically giving people the power and saying "you only have a week to use this power". This will make them feel like they should exercise their power more than they should.

Sack up and ask people you think would be good.

Agreed. For the most part all of us that have been a part for a long time have matured to the point where not much real moderation is needed.

The reason we'd rather ask than appoint, is because we don't want to appoint someone who just 100% doesn't give a shit.

No, I get that. But just ask people you think would be good for it rather than making an open audition and giving week-long power to a guy with 24 posts.

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.

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.
