Moderator Election Thread

Please vote for no more than two people, to be Cellar moderators through the end of the year. The top two will be selected. The term of this office will be through 12/31/2012.

Candidates are listed in order of nomination.

The job is:

Moderators are added to the list of email addresses that get notified when someone reports a post. One would remove spam and forum abuse and things like this.

Moderators can do the following:
- Edit, move, delete posts
- Edit, move, copy, open/close threads
- Post announcements (make posts "sticky" at the top of the forum)
- View IP addresses
- Ban users


This is not a popularity contest but a way to figure out who should have additional power for the benefit of the community. Full disclosure: although I have the ability to see who voted for whom, I won't peek, I sincerely promise.

The vote will be open for five days, ending at approx. 11:59 am EST Feb. 8. (Or whenever I notice time is up.) Thanks all for participating.

This is done.

I don't think I've ever seen a sticky post in the Cellar. I didn't think we did that here.
Undertoad • Feb 3, 2012 1:17 pm
We can, but you threw me there, because this thread was not sticky.


but it should be and so I've made it that.
HungLikeJesus • Feb 3, 2012 1:29 pm
It's listed as one of the moderator superpowers in your note.
classicman • Feb 3, 2012 1:32 pm
What is this "sticky"?
wolf • Feb 3, 2012 1:32 pm
I visit another site where the mods are sticky happy, to the point of the concept being useless. When you have to wade through three pages of sticky-ness before you can get to the new threads, it just really doesn't make any sense at all. Of course, they're one of those sites with animated avatars and colors that make your eyes bleed, so I don't go there often.

Aw geez. Look at this sticky mess. Soapy water won't even touch it. Will WD40 cut through it or make it worse?
infinite monkey • Feb 3, 2012 3:14 pm
You need "Goo-B-Gone"

The problem started when somebody put the jelly on before the peanut butter. That got jelly in the peanut butter jar.

They also used Wonder bread, and the jelly soaked through and dripped all over the Cellar.

The problem started when someone left the motherfucking cake out in the motherfucking rain.

Voted BTW

HungLikeJesus • Feb 4, 2012 8:35 am
How come it won't let me vote again?
wolf • Feb 4, 2012 12:07 pm
Because The Cellar is not actually in Philadelphia. Just near it. Makes all the difference.

Always appearing at the top of the list of threads.
classicman • Feb 4, 2012 3:06 pm

HungLikeJesus • Feb 5, 2012 5:12 pm
Kind of like the Dwellar NSFW threads.
Flint • Feb 5, 2012 5:47 pm
That would be sticky keyboards.
Undertoad • Feb 9, 2012 10:43 pm

Aliantha • Feb 10, 2012 12:10 am
That was kind of anti-climactic.
Griff • Feb 10, 2012 6:35 am
Yah, the sweepers came out too soon but in their defense they have a convention to get ready for.
wolf • Feb 10, 2012 10:04 pm
;)

Thanks, everyone, for your confidence.

The new adventures of the old moderators.

Episode 1: The sticky button is stuck.
glatt • Feb 13, 2012 11:49 am
I got it, but now it's stuck to my finger and won't come off.
infinite monkey • Feb 13, 2012 11:51 am
I gotta boogie
(I gotta booooogie)
I gotta boogie
(I gotta booooogie)
I gotta boogie on my finger and I can't shake it off.

I'm not sorry about your finger,

Congrats to both. You are doing a great job.
HungLikeJesus • Feb 14, 2012 8:27 pm
The mods do such a good job that their moderation is almost invisible. It's hard to remember the sacrifice they make to keep this place running smoothly. Thanks Mod Squad!
