This might be a good option. However, an outsider does not understand the dynamics involved in differing SDA theology, much less the social dynamic going on here.
Since much of the disputation arises from doctrine and different SDA worldviews, someone who isn't familiar with our church will not be able to mod as effectively.
At least have the majority of mods be Adventist.
At this point it may be very difficult to get someone from outside.
It wouldn't take much to spot a personal attacks and flames. The theological discussions are not what we want to avoid. It's the unchristian comments we want to do away with.
i agree. i am not for outside mods. Lets keep it within SDA.
I think my post several pages back got ignored. so i will post again.
What behind the scenes things do mods do? How does it all work? I am curious.
Happy, I really don't know the procedures here either honestly.
I know there are channels when someone is about to get banned, but I don't know if mods can make decisions independently when it comes to editing posts or deleting them, etc.
I don't know, but we could ask Tall or Sophia when they come around again.
if from my 1200+ posts here one cannot determine where I am on most things, then there might be a problem....Maybe we should ask each nominated person what they consider themselves to be? Traditonal or Progressive?
I have a list of questions I'd like to ask each potential mod. Can we interview them?

herev said:BELOW IS THE CURRENT PROCEDURE
1. This current guideline is only in effect until the community establishes WIKI guidelines for holding moderator elections, and no later than December 31, 2007.
2. Moderators elected under this guideline keep their positions until December 31, 2007.
3. These guidelines will only serve for election of moderators outside of the Congregational Forums, and for forums which do not have election guidelines already established in their respective WIKI's.
4. To receive a nomination, a candidate must approach or be approached by a moderator and receive their support.
5. The supporting moderator will start two threads.a. A poll with two options. "Yes" and "Apply Later".b. A thread for Q&A with the candidate. In this thread there will be no more than ONE primary post per member (questions or statements)--with the ONLY exception being ONE additional post for one of the following reasons:1. to ask ONE follow up question (must be directly related to the original question)2. to clarify the orignial question IF asked by the applicatant, or3. to recant a statement made by the member in the original post the member made.c. While the application itself is no longer necessary, it might be usefull to use the old mod application to glean some of the questions for the applicant.6. The poll and Q&A threads will remain open for 7 days. At this point they will be closed.
7. The poll thread will be used ONLY for voting purposes. The only posts to be made in this thread are to indicate a change in voting. All other posts will be moved to the Q&A thread.
8. At the end of the seven days, the votes will be tabulated. Greater than 70% approval (Yes votes) will result in the candidate being elected. This option is chosen over a simple majority (50% +1%) to avoid polarizing the fora. 70% or greater demonstrates a wide degree of acceptance of the candidate.
why? people can "say" anything if they want something bad enough.... you have a body of "evidence" through which I have answered probably every question you would want to ask..Rather than going through 1200+ posts, I'd rather just ask for an answer.
