I do believe, P.I., the first one to make derogatory comments and accusations was you, not Diver. Why not just drop the whole thing? It's in past the and doesn't concern anyone else here.

well I won't stay quiet PI, You went and went hog wild on the Ford board and banned all the people you disagreed with for as long as you were posting on the boards........ And when Kym confronted you with it you told her that I said it was ok for you to do, which I did not..... That is why you got fired son...... Now you can "let it go" more, more...[sorry molly, forgot, can I borrow for a bit ? }

Why is this discussion happening? Moonbeam has already stated there will be no mod "elections". There will be mod appointments based on the whims of the current mods. All this jockeying for spots on the "ballot" is a mockery. There is no ballot, there will be no election and the results will be whatever moon and the other mods want them to be. If you want an election that's fairer than that, go to Cuba...

Are you putting your hat in the ring, Ed? Paul? Are any traditional minded people even bothering to run or wanting to run?
Seems to me it's traditional minded, conservative people who get banned around here and are accused of not playing nice. Are these the ones who will be barred from consideration? It would be helpful to know who these people are who will not be considered.

"Moonbeam has already stated there will be no mod "elections". "
IMHO, the above statement is not true.
There are going to be elections, and most likely most if not all of those selected as the front leader will be appointed, however as the sole owner and operator of this piece of property she [moon] has put in certain restrictions that she feels are necessary to protect her property, [which as sole owner is her right] to keep it a viable entity, and not be destroyed or debased by those she feel might do so,
Also knowing the demands of her only superior on decisions, ProBoards itself, having to look out for those concerns too. [whether they are a concern I don't know, I am just assuming , and if not so , stand corrected.
For most of us here , her ground rules are hers to make, understood, and seem to be no problem. For those who feel they are, wrong and capriciouse, are unable to accept them and be of good cheer, possible non participation here might be the answer, if it is that intolerable a problem.
Naturally the above thoughts, they are IMHO.

I am and probably a few others in the so called "Pack" of which I am not the leader but now just an independent and like that much better as you can guess.. I prefer to march to my own drummer these days and stay above the poltical fracases...and watch the NHL and MBL Or check out the Military thread which has been getting some good stuff lately by .bimetalaupt.a military history buff if anyone is interested check it out and he likes to research to answer any and all questions you pose him

Marsha, i would suggest you go read my announcement post as to who i don't consider 'mod material'.. In other words, every one of us who was targeted by Tennesseer (all conservatives, surprise, surprise) when he was on his rampage are out of the running. Sounds fair to me Marsha, don't you think so, too?

You can check the top thread labeled "It's Time" off the general board for 100% of moonbeam's rules and regs.
Here are the snippets.
1. Posters who have been banned for serious CoC violations, such as personal attacks will not be considered. Nor will those who consistently post in an inflammatory manner and/or have posts reported to us on a regular basis.
2. Even if you receive the highest number of votes, you still may not be selected. Especially in the case of the Politics & the Market and Market Talk boards, existing mods may need to decide who is the best 'fit'.
3. Former MSN mods who are currently mods here, shall remain mods unless they indicate they do not wish to be any longer. This would apply to rovo, ModE, Virgil, deminmaine, and diverdown34.
The bolded section is what would stop someone like ed1066 or hello fromWarsaw from qualifying for a mod spot. (not that I am attacking ed, I like some of his posts and others I just move on past. Nor am I attacking hello fromWarsaw, I simply can't take anything he types as serious)

Moonbeam is Tennesseer going to return here for a second tour of duty?
The reason I ask is his name is missing from this list unless you might have over looked him:
This would apply to rovo, ModE, Virgil, deminmaine, and diverdown34.

Marsha-- you, Ed, Paul, me, PI, and I don't know who else have all been banned, so.. surprise.. none of us are eligible. There ARE some conservatives that haven't been banned.. haven't heard any of them express interest. Wonder if the ban thing is forever and ever and e v e r, or if it gets reset just like bans do every 12 months? Seems like a convenient way to make sure some people are never mods if a ban or deletions put them out of the game forever. Especially when your ban was a slip of the tongue joking around cuss at someone which lately just seems to get deleted, sometimes after a mod request to change to post, but it got ME banned a few months ago. Seems to be up to whoever the mod is that sees it... and whether or not that mod feels like giving you a warning or a delete or a ban. Whatever-- who and what is "suitable" is all in the eyes of the beholder, and I behold lots of bad things here that others don't seem to behold at all.

Teneesseer wasn't an original MSN mod, so he would have to be vetted again.

In an inflammatory manner to whom? I'm very offended by posts that attack the messenger and not the message. From my perspective the ones who usually do this are left of center. I'm offended by power trips, and needling and badgering of people who have no recourse but to take it or leave. That has come from left of center in my experience and thank you very much, Moon, it has ceased.
If you don't like what a person says and your emotions are enflamed by their perspective then they are persona non grata in terms of being part of board staff?

Does the term "Poster" also include Mods who may not have been banned but have been reported to the Administrators on a regular basis for serious CofC violations if that has ever occured...i.e bullying, taunting, heckling, degrading and etc???
If I am not mistaken I think this has happened but if I am wrong then my bad

If you don't like what a person says and your emotions are inflamed by their perspective then they are persona non grata in terms of being part of board staff? Inflammatory is completely subjective, and it is moonbeams and the existing Mods to determine. I can list 2 threads as examples of it, threads that were designed to play on emotions and not discuss the facts or merits of the articles, just the raw emotions that they bring. 1 thread required 39 posts before the Original poster touched on any facts in it and choose to misspell dictator. 1 thread required that you get past all the "feelings" and then no one would touch the facts presented just it must be this way, or your gonna see grandma go off a cliff. These are my examples only. Your mileage may very.
