Ooh, I said term limit but I really meant term of office. If someone is doing a job that the voters like, they should be able to be re-elected.

zippyt · 05-15-2006, 05:09 PM

I vote for Wolf , Bruce , Steve D , Rich L , and Splode in that order .
HM and or Big V as well .
All these folks seem level headed and reasonable .

I think everyone thus far nominated would make a fine moderator and don't have anyone to add. I would just suggest that there should be a period between nominations and voting to give those nominated a chance to carefully consider whether or not they wish to accept the responsibility.

Nominees should not feel pressured into accepting the nomination and should be granted the opportunity to decline the nomination without anyone reading anything into it.

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.

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.

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.

Well, I am on for two and a half solid hours (give or take a few minutes) every day between about 12.30 and 3 here, which is midnight-thirty through three AM on the east coast, so I can be a moderator's helper-monkey and keep an eye out then if someone likes...

lumberjim · 05-15-2006, 07:09 PM

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.

Nothing But Net · 05-15-2006, 07:21 PM

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.

Happy Monkey · 05-15-2006, 09:56 PM

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.

Ibby · 05-15-2006, 11:58 PM

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.

Ibby · 05-16-2006, 12:37 AM

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.

WabUfvot5 · 05-16-2006, 12:43 AM

Bruce is good by me.

Ibby · 05-16-2006, 12:57 AM

*chants* bruce! bruce! bruce!

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

Kagen4o4 · 05-16-2006, 01:23 AM

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