Nominations so far, then:
xoxoxoBruce Wolf SteveDallas Lumberjim Nothing But Net Happy Monkey BigV Elspode RichLevy Kitsune It wasn't clear whether skysidhe's mention of maggie was a real nomination or just a personal endorsement. Please clarify, skysidhe. Otherwise, nominations remain open and nominees can say whether or not they accept the nomination, and let's say we vote on like Thursday. What do you think of a one year term through 6/1/2007? |

I like Tonchi's idea of "rolling" mods. For example, Kitsune or Bruce could cover the Eastern time zone, Big V or Tonchi herself, if she has the time, could cover the Pacific zone. We need an Aussie for that part of the world and I seriously nominate Kagen for that. Cyclefrance could do Europe and then hand it over to Bruce again. Just a thought. A one year commitment sounds reasonable to me.

I like the nominations already put forward: xoB, wolf, HM, lj, SD, Els, rl. I also think tw (despite his current tagline) and dar would be good moderators. I am basing these nominations on what I know of the temperment displayed by these users, and on the little I know about the duties and responsibilites of the postition. I think it should be taken seriously.
I accept my nomination. (thx glatt and zippyt!) I have some questions about the responsibilites of the role itself. In the envitable case of a spam thread being created, and perhaps warned about with the notice going to email, what is the acceptable window for response time for deletion of such a thread? Golly, if I found one, and I have, I wouldn't mind if it were there as long as a day before deletion. I know I don't want to give aid, comfort and bandwidth to such parasites for one moment longer than I must, but if it happens and I don't get to it until I login/check that email address/see the smoke signals/etc, for a little while, is that a dereliction of my duty? I also am a fan of terms of office. I am apprehensive (normally so, not abnormally so) that I will be able to do the job (if elected). and I would want to know that there was an "out" if I wasnt' fit. Short of banning me, of course. What are we talking here? Some number of months? Multiple mods. Are we talking working in shifts? Or is it more like a distribution list and the first one to get to a ticket/email is the one to handle it? Limited mods. I respect NBN's point that he would prefer to mod only a subset of threads. I think this is a good idea. I also think NBN would be a good moderator for the scope he defined. Well, I can see by the big clock on the wall that I have to get back to class. I'll be back later.

Mari, we have lots of guys on the West Coast and nobody wants me to be a mod here, even if I did have the time
 But as for what BigV is asking, the only real critical issues would be blocking spammers and flamers immediately and getting the trash off the board. What I have been doing at my other website is we created an ADMIN FORUM, and the messages are moved there to get them off the board and to allow us as a group to analyze what happened afterwards. Nobody can see this forum except me and the mods. This preserves the IP for me to trace and check against previously banned or troublesome persons to make sure they are not back under a different identity. It also allows us to decide how we will handle certain issues in the future, and if one of the mods disagrees with removing the message he can explain his reasons. We have found this to be very satisfactory, and it protects us too because people who do not like our forum rules are always writing letters to the webmaster and Thalia or her record label to demand our removal or death and that way we can demonstrate the chain of events to the final authority (although not once has this been necessary).

I'll nominate the magster (magstress? MaggieL).
edit: but what about this idea: Urbane Guerilla AND tw!!! wouldn't that be a hoot! Each one gets emailed every day HALF of the new password -- that way they'll have to work together to decide who to show the door...
