Who Wants to be a Mod?

I was asking a different question. (I used to be a Robert's Rules of Order buff.) Normally, if I nominate you someone has to second my nomination for your name to be considered. For example, Honor just seconded T&O's nomination of Sassy.

That's fine.

I also forgot that according to CF rules a person has to have a sponsorship from another moderator before being allowed to become a moderator.

Nevertheless, we can still vote for who we would like to see become moderators.

That's an important observation.

I would be more than happy to sponsor whomever the membership decides should be moderators of this forum

Thanks, longhair.

What exactly does it mean to have a mod sponsoring a perspective mod?

They just endorse that the person that was nominated is a good person, ect?

It really means nothing but that is the structure of the forum.

I don't want to be a mod. In the best of times it is a thankless task. However, we do need mods here, and perhaps I could be one of them.

I am often on forums, due to being lazy at work.

I nominated you in a different thread Mjona3. Then you were mean to me and I pouted. LOL!

I was starting to think none of us had jobs. Bwhahaha.

I sent Sassy a PM this morning and it started with "please don't hate me, BUT....." I'm hoping she'll accept the nomination because she really would do an excellent job.

I think if T&O and Sassy don't mind, I'd like to see them become mods. Also I think it might also be a good idea for outside mods. But at this point, I don't know who would want this job.

honorthesabbath · Jul 31, 2007

I also nominate "OntheDL"!

TrustAndObey · Jul 31, 2007

I tried to nominate him Honor, he doesn't want to do it.

I decided to ask him first, because Sassy might have my head after this one.

TrustAndObey · Jul 31, 2007

I think if someone feels they would do a good job and wants to do it, that they shouldn't be embarrassed or shy at this point. TELL US!

There might be people qualified/excited about it that we're just not thinking about, and I'd give everyone a fair shot.

I think all of us on here would.

TrustAndObey · Jul 31, 2007

OTD, my family and classes have to come before this forum, and when I'm in school, I go months without coming here.

I don't think I COULD be a mod, but I'd love to.

It just isn't in the cards for me right now.

I think Sassy is a good choice!

How many mods are we looking for the job?

I would think a minimum of three.

TrustAndObey · Jul 31, 2007

Woob mentioned 4-5 and I think that's an excellent idea so two people don't get the brunt of it.

happywiththelord · Jul 31, 2007

What exactly would the job entail? For example, how many hours per day does a mod need to be on? etc.

I mean i have a good idea what they do since i have been here for a number of years, i just dont know what goes on behind the scenes.

A lot more people in the 'traditional' camp are being suggested for Mod. Maybe it is because people who aren't in that camp are willing to suggest people in the 'traditional' camp but people in the 'traditional' camp seem to be a lot less willing to suggest people who aren't in that camp.

JonMiller · Jul 31, 2007

I think that StormyOne, Tall, and Reddog would make decent mods.
