Sounds like a good idea. I'll take on whatever forum is lacking moderators. [Added] Will you (Cliff) draw up some guidlines for closing a topic? [This message has been edited by Steve Normington (edited 07-05-2001).]

I'd be more than willing to help out, Cliff as a moderator or otherwise.

I'd like to try being a monitor. Especially in General Chat since that's where I spend most of my time. I never tried it before, but it sounds cool. Thanks

This probably should go to people who have had some experience moderating before or have a ton of posts on here just to see what Cliff does and does not allow. The last thing we need is someone who thinks they have power to shut anyone down just because they can. Let's get a nomination list going

Cliff, good idea. A few suggestions... 1. Requirements, like the amount of time you have been here.
2. If you give them ability to close a thread, have some type of appeals process by members. I fear some people would seriously abuse that power if able.
3. People who want to be moderator should have good reasons. Not the people who say "I just want to be moderator of any availible forum", but people like "theogre" for technical section because he posts a lot there and is experienced. Just my 2 cents.

Ya know, I was going to come on here and be a wisea$$ and nominate myself, but then I read Black88GT's post and realize he's probably the most reasonable, objective person in this forum. He's the first to suggest an appeals process, as bias will play a part in the closure of posts. The word, 'objective' is just a concept that is really never achieved, but with an appeals process we could come close. Maybe throw in a caveat that states if a moderator loses three appeals, he is immediately removed from that role and a Pro Tem moderator be appointed by Cliff? You guys have always liked my ideas in the past, right? Why change now? Actually this is Black88GT's idea and I nominate him. I hope this doesn't hurt his chances, honestly. Ed.

Well maybe I am not one to talk, or ask for a nomination, BUT.... 1) I was the NC (National Co-ordinator) for FIDONet Canada (If you know what that is you know it was a big deal), I handled over 15,000 nodes for over 10,000 "newsgroups" or Fido feeds as well as the FileBone areas. 2) I was in charge of the local hosts as well, organized meetings, conducted those meetings and on various occasions (more than I liked) I had to deal with situations of abuse, system problems, fraud, and other issues 3) On the scale I have dealt with in the past PFF is small for me, I have the skills, ability and the resume for the job. 4) NO I don't have the technical knowledge to moderate (Fiero Wise Tech Knowledge) But in my mind this should not be a deciding factor 5) I am a accredited MCSE+I not that this means anything anymore! (But not an english scholar as you know!)
Let me know if interested, I will take on any group Cliff feels I would be most useful in.

Ed: You haven't said anything inflammatory or inciting here. You still have your membership here, so you are as entitled to moderate as anyone else here, whatever anyone else says. As I have said before, Your views and opinions were valid in the past, and somewhat aligned with my own, but you did cross the line. Whatever, let's just get on with life. Peace? I agree with the nomination idea. Wholeheartedly. Oh, and I'd do it. I don't have much experience with bbs/forum moderation, however I was a voted channel op for a largish IRC channel for 1 year. I am liberal in my views, but I know a troll when I see one  [This message has been edited by Mach10 (edited 07-05-2001).]
