Moderator nomination thread
 

This is part one of the moderators election. (Part two is the actual vote.)

The term of office for this election is through 1/1/2011, and the number of moderators shall remain unchanged at two.

Nominate people to be voted on in the moderators election. People nominated here will appear in the moderators vote, unless they specifically say they do not accept the nomination.

Joke nominations are discouraged, only because I can't tell whether you are joking or not.

The moderator election is not a popularity contest, and everybody hopes that losers, if there are any, do not feel discouraged about the Cellar. Moderator is a harder job than it appears, if only because people think of you differently if you are a moderator.

Nominations will close at 11:59 pm Eastern time on Jan. 5. If this is longer than appears necessary, it's only to make sure everyone gets a chance to see the thread and participate.

Nominations are open.

Can they have a second term? If so I nominate Bruce, my favoritest mod ever. I also nominate Monster.

wolf and Bruce, unless they are sick of putting up with our dumb asses. :)

Bruce and wolf remain the most level headed among the dwellers. I second a repeat of the pair.

Ditto for wolf and bruce, they've done a great job.

Right on.

If they aren't tired of it - wolf and bruce!

There are many I would be happy with, but Bruce and wolf have done a particularly excellent job this year, so if they're happy to continue, that'll do for me, and if not (and who could blame them if they needed a break), then I'll give it another coat of thinking

I'd vote for Bruce and Wolf. If they will take it.

Heh, great alternates would be glatt and mon, so if they say wolf and Bruce, then there is no way they can't do it!

I second those alternates.

Hey, do we have term limits? Just askin'

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. xoB, that SOB, and wolf.

I know we gotta do this every year, but still thats my opinion.

Motion to add a 3rd moderator
 

Bruce and wolf are as incumbent as it ever gets, in my humble opinion. AND they do a fine job. I would, however like to see another mod added to the present company.

Griff would be my choice for the third.....mainly because he rocks and is awake in the early AM. wolf works 3rd, bruce 2nd shift..... so this would make sense.

I also want to nominate glatt and clodfobble.


I'd really like to nominate nomster, just for the allitteration of it, but the whole 'no joke nomination' thing ....meh


anyway..... 3 mods?

I also nominate Dana for a kinder, gentler cellar. ;)

Wolf and Bruce again. Now shut the fuck up and quit this bullshit.

I think Dana, Glatt, Griff, Clod, and Monster are among the more levelheaded (read sane) members of the community. Any of them would be a good choice.

How bout Radar & UG as a team, they could. . . (sanity returns)

:lol2::headshake

I vote for wolf and bruce as the #1 human dog turds of the universe.

weak

nomnomnominate me, baby!

There's no actual need for a third because the workload doesn't demand it.

LJ wants instant approval for his sock puppets. ;)

bruce , wolf

alternates

glatt, griff

Sane? I'm not sure. I've seen the women be kind of mean spirited at times.

When the two month ban on a certain someone ends later this month, LJ and his sock puppets could make a fine human shield.

fyi
 

Other ONLINE level headed people.

Brianna
Jinx
Pico and ME
ZenGum
SundaeGirl
zippyt
spudcon
busterb
Beestie
dar512
limey



and the list could go on and on

Are you nominating 11 people in this post, or are you just making a comment about how level headed these Dwellars are?

I don't think I'd be any good as a mod. I take toomany breaks from the cellar...and I don;t like responsibility so nyah!

Thanks for the nom though...and @ Sky: everyone (including you) can be mean spirited sometimes. But hey, whatever you think doll.

I didn't say nominations. I said other level headed dwellers.

People who make good mods are able to appear somewhat neutral or un- inebriated regardless of personal bias,beer/pot consumption or other hormonal swings.

and UT said it wasn't a popularity contest. I think there are many good people to consider although I think wolf and bruce are excellent and should remain.

Dana...I think you all would rock if it were just for fun. It think you are good people but if I wanted fun I would vote for shawnee.

So It wasn't an insult just a fact and so you see I do understand how I suck. I've got much in the personal bias category.

So not only are we three (me, monnie and clod) mean spirited at times, but we also are unable to appear neutral because of personal bias, beer/pot consumption or hormonal swings.

Nice going Sky. This isn't a popularity contest, but nor is it an unpopularity contest.

Just give your nominations like everybody else and then vote in the poll. There is really no need to make personal attacks.

(incidentally, just in case I wasn't clear before: I don't want my name on the poll :P)

I said I was sucking right now.

Plus I sent you a really mean PM.

*chuckles* 's ok m'dear. I got up on the wrong side of the bed today and am a little tetchy.

Another good reason for me not to be a mod: every time I have an assignment to work on I'd be a bitch:P

Wolf and Bruce forever.

I did too...or too early, I'm still on graveyard shift and not working is messing with me

A Bitch? I'm good at that maybe better than you :)

If that were a nomination I'd say no thank you. I'm happy with Wolf and Bruce forever!

I respectfully decline my earlier nomination in this thread. Too much shit going on to even consider the possibility of extra responsibility in any form. I feel guilty that my DVR recordings have backed up as much as they have, so real obligations are right out.

So, are b&w willing to accept these nominations?

I respectfully accept.

*applause*

I happy to keep wolf and bruce for mods.

Thank you for accepting wolf.

Thanks for the nod LJ. If it ever becomes necessary to add a third, I'd be happy to be the early am guy. For now, let's drag Bruce back kicking and screaming to join wolf as protector of all things righteous.

Don't fix what isn't broken.

Well now I want to be a mod reeeeal bad just so's I can ban sky......

:lol:

No one EVER nominates ME! I'm level-headed! I don't spend hours online, true, but I plead cost. I do check in three or so times a day tho.

lol

I knew you were going to say that!


I apologize for my lack of tact and hope there is no heart feeling. I do think you all rock.

I am a fan of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" school of thought, and so Wolf and Bruce should stay by dint of their superior performance throughout their first two terms.

I nominate BrianR. Good moderator he'd make. Level headed is he.

I see No reason to change if Wolf and bruce are willing

Glad nobody nominated me 'cause I'm trained to kill people.

this foregone conclusion is forgone

did fargon tell you that?

No I didn't. I said don't nominate me cuz I would ban all of you!!! And laugh when I did it.

It strikes me as remarkable that when this time rolls around it serves as much as anything to remind me of who actually does the moderation around here. Like a good editor, the mark of a good mod is that you notice neither their absence nor their presence.

b&w++

Definately should keep the Wolfy-Brucey moderator magic as it is.

Assuming they're willing.

I, for one, thank our existing moderator overlords and hope they will stay on.

:lol:

We have moderators?

:thumb:

Am I a registered voter? If so, I vote 'yes' or 'no' or whatever Capnhowdy's says...LOL

get that man to a dentist, juju
