Who would be willing to be a mod?

[Deleted]

People are mad at WWGB (in my opinion, for good reason), however we all have to admit that being a mod takes a lot of time and work, for no return. Who would be willing to do that and for how long (both how many hours per week and for how many months)? And why should the board trust you more?

I could not be a moderator.

I'm too much the bitch. The power would go to my head, I would begin smiting randomly, I would vaporise random threads for no reason, the citizens would rise in rebellion, pitchforks and torches would be brandished, yadda yadda yadda.

Plus I don't have time for it.

I would be a lousy moderator. I have one - maybe two hot button topics for which I would show no mercy. Everything else - live and let live!

It sounds like you are perfectly qualified for the position.

My idea of PG-13 is much different than PB's idea of PG-13, so I don't think I'd last.

Isn't this what happened last time the elections rolled around? No one else wanted the job, so the current MODS retained their positions.

Based on what I've seen, it sounds like you are more than qualified!

Some were replaced. WWBG is a good mod. Most of us have tried to make a point and not gotten our point across well. Enough already. Really people, this is beating a dead horse. He's a good mod. I think there are other reasons for this outpouring of venom. Can't be just the one thread. He apologized. No harm no foul. Let it go.

[midjd]

I think we need more mods. Not necessarily different ones, though some fresh blood might help. I'd be willing to do it.

[Green Eyed Lady]

I agree with Mid. We need more mods; not necessarily new ones. And I'm thinking a year is probably enough for anybody. It's easy to lose your objectivity after being beat up for a year. But it should probably be staggered so you don't have a whole slew of people who aren't sure what they are doing coming in all at once.

Perhaps more mods might help. I wish the thread had been locked and kept in place. While I understand very few thread do get deleted they just get moved to some mod only accesible graveyard. Since none have ever returned the distinction is not a useful one.

I'd vote for you Mid. I think I could be a good mod, but I have bigger things to deal with and would not volunteer at this time.

I think the government tried that approach once

[Green Eyed Lady]

Perhaps, Id, but this is a group of intelligent people - quite unlike the government.

[Taxman10]

I'm willing to do it....

you're welcome :-)

[Taxman10]

I'd like MT, MM or Beer to be a mod.

Normally I'd say Mid too, but she made a snarky comment about me yesterday that I took offense to

Wiz would be ok.

MU would be great!

MoneyJenny would be great

[Bluerobin]

Who doesn't the MuscleUp for Mod?

lol...y'all would have to ban yourselves in the first 5 minutes and then we'd be right back where we started.

Oh......you were serious!! Sorry, my bad.

I'm up for it

[Deleted]

Hey people, you missed the how long would you do it for, and why we should vote for you parts

[Deleted]

It doesn't matter. None of us meet the qualifications, apparently.

You would make a fantastic mod. You've got my vote.

I think swamp and hoops would also do a good job. There are probably more but they're the ones that come to mind first.

[Phoenix84]

I'd get dunk with power

[swamp]

as long as you're not drunk, it's good.

[Green Eyed Lady]

LOL!!!

[thyme4change]

Swamp is definitely reasonable and level headed enough. I think she is a good judge of character. Archie was a good mod, too, but wasn't invited to the party when we moved here.

[Catseye]

I vote for MidJD and Swamp!

[Deleted]

Arch didn't want the job IIRC.
