There's lots of space between "downright mean" and "diplomatic". :-)

I agree, Elspode and richlevy should be in the running as well, if they're willing. Personally, I'd go for more than two, since it seems the bulk of the job would be deleting spam and those crop up at all hours, but I realize that having too many might be a bigger pain for you, UT.

bruce is a shoe in for the first term at least. we want a good example set, after all.....

as for the second? yeh, wolf, i tink.

I'm really only interested in the Images section. I haven't posted much lately, but I do lurk continuously beneath the surface. UT I assume will still be picking and posting the IotDs.

I'd second, er...third that. My problem is I'm not on during the day. Much of the spam & crap happens overnight or in the morning and I don't get here until late afternoon or early evening.:blush:

I'd be willing, but I do have the aforementioned email issue. If the list of flagged emails shows up somewhere other than email I could do it, even if the notification is email-only.

Satire and picking bones done with class and smarts would have to be willful.


There's a skill. A finesse with words.


Not a fishwife. There is a difference between willfully aware prods and knee jerk reactions.




ok ok,,,maybe not diplomatic but if Bush can be president we can say Maggie is diplomatic. Or can be.

I nominate Mari.

Okay, no I dont, not because shes not worthy but because that would piss too many people off.

Uhhhh... I second those already mentioned.

Like my opinion really matters around here, but I think Kitsune's name should be thrown into the hat if he's willing.

OOH! OOH! We should do a Field of 64 on this!

...Except we'd never get 64 real nominations.

Hmph. I still say It'd be fun.

Bruce is good by me.

*chants* bruce! bruce! bruce!

Actually, I really have no preference. Bruce would be good, but so would the others mentioned.

i nominate kagen. he's really sexy and speaks very good.

nah i wouldnt be a good moderator but thanks for the nomination

That's why you have to do it by hemispheres. We manage just fine at the site where I am administrator: Greece comes online and I can go to bed because it is the middle of the day over there. It goes Greece, Argentina, Mexico, California, and back to Greece again. I really need somebody who is located in Asia, but there is nobody fluent in English and Spanish who qualifies so that means some of us have to check in throughout the day just to make sure nothing slipped through. The Cellar could easily use the same principle, with a PA or NY person handing off to WA or CA, then passing it to Australia who then waits for a Brit to get online. The time zones in Asia will be an empty spot here too, although you might want to ask Ashke to hang out at a certain time and email the next person in line if something happens which needs attention.
