A Fourth Moderator For SYM

Post by **BuckGB** » Sun May 23, 2004 5:38 pm

Hello everyone,

By popular request, we've decided to add another moderator to the Speak Your Mind forum. So, I thought I'd drop in here to simply ask if any of you would be interested in such a position. Then, once we have a list of names, I'll post a poll for all of you to vote on who you'd like to see become our fourth moderator. Of course, this assumes that we have at least a couple of people interested in taking on such a prestigious role

.

If you are familiar with the Speak Your Mind forum, and feel you would make a good moderator, then please reply to this post and let me know. Please include the time zone you live in as well, since it may be a deciding factor during the voting process.

I actually would care to nominate somebody else, if that's possible. I'd say DW would have to be it. She's a paying member, is online often, and is more than qualified. I imagine I'd like my boss to be like her.

Whether or not she wants it is her own thing to decide, though.

But why she'd refuse such a wonderous promotion is beyond me.

lol A-C... I'm flattered... I think

And I thought you *liked* me!

Okay... I am actually at a point where I would be able to do it, though I'm sure there are others far more qualified than I. So in addition to throwing my own name into the hat I would also like to nominate Gwally, Ysh, BS, Scayde, Georgi and A-C.

note: I am in the Pacific Standard Time zone (Vancouver, BC)

Whomever you choose should be able to commit a good deal of time to monitoring things. A moderator who isn't around, isn't a moderator.

Sigh.....

Again the golden mantle of Modhood dangles before me

Again I will attempt to attain this status

Again Weasel will sabatoge my campaign.

hmmm...maybe this time I should vote for me

I am Eastern Standard

I would love to volunteer, but I'd need both a new e-mail (fresh from the spam mailiong lists that haunt me now to a point where it's unuseable

), and a lot of patience (which I could muster

)

Anyway, I like the DW idea.

If it were needed, I could also take up moderating SYM.
(or other parts where it might be needed)

EDIT: somebody sticky this thread, so it dosen't sink to the bottom

Do we really need another one?

I think we're OK without ... but if it is "popular demand," then I second Xandax.

Peace.

I third Xandax. New timezone, soon we'll have the world covered.

[Edit] Got to think of it... I actually have no idea where T'lainya is from.

Yeah yeah, widening the competition won't help you... mwahahaha!

IMO DW would be a good mod, as would any of those named above. I wouldn't mind being a mod, I have internet access at work now, and I lurk a lot.

Oh, and I'm in the UK.

Maharlika · Post by **Maharlika** » Mon May 24, 2004 6:16 am

Done.

T' is from the US. Arizona if I remember correctly...

...those nominated are excellent choices tho I would think that someone capable who resides in Europe would have the time zones covered any time of the day.

...as I was saying...

*hits self with a hoopak*

I forget. I think it would be better if we refrain from spamming this thread.

Well, I'd like to be it for the fun of the thing, you know, but I dunno if anyone else can think the same.

But DW will be an awesome choice

DW, please, come forth and give us some light on this darkness...

Anyone who will keep their politics (mostly) to themselves. Of the people shown here, I would say: Bloodstalker or Xandax.

u got my vote, Xandax

Yer post mostly neutral and not too aggressive in most factors

plus yer a veteran in modding

(i hope u can cope around with SYM if u got the job though)

I want to note something that I had forgotten about. Although I actually live quite a distance from T, for all intents and purposes I live in the same time zone as she does, so people should bear this mind.

Personally, I think somebody on the other side of North America or in Europe would be a better choice

Moonbiter · Post by **Moonbiter** » Mon May 24, 2004 9:37 am

I think both Wench and Xandax would be great choices. From what I've seen the short time I've been here, both of you can mod me any day.

Seriously, I think it's important for a mod in any forum to take part in the daily community, and not just lurk in the background and pop out to do the "mod thing."

With that in mind, Xan would definatly be a good choice.

I have a question that might affect the location concerns of a future mod: Are T'lainya or Maharlika considering quitting anytime soon?

You're nuts.

Thanks for the nomination, DW, but the problem with me is that I'm working on a school schedule nine months out of the year. Class breaks in two weeks, but I'd only be avaliable until we start the year up again in September.

Besides, I'm US Central time, and I'm sure if there isn't a need for that zone.

But in addition for my nomination, I would like to include Xandax. The guys already got plenty of Mod experience, so let's just dish him a little more work if it's necessary.
