Right lets get things on an even keel.
The supermods are the supermods, but who else would you like to see as a forum mod, which forum(s) and which member?
I will be keeping a very close eye on this thread, so please don't do the seagull thing.
Nominations so far
Adept - declined
Green-Eyed - Declined
Confus-Ed
Ya_Know
Major Kong
Mayet - Web design / 98 / 2k
3Finger Salute
Ruslan - motherboard forum
Platypus
Hudsonsmith for driver forums
Techz for News
confus-ed, and I have already recommended it. ;)
Adept would be good, I'll try to think of some others.
Not to start a flame, but I would like to start a negative vote against Ya_know, myself, confus-ed and a massive one to demote Trip.
How bout Green_Eyed? She has a level head.
I nominate Ya_know
And Major Kong would be great as well as Adept.
additions to the status quo I take it:
Adept, Major Kong (Lounge, others?? I dont pay much attenton to who is posting where)
Politicos is a lost cause because every one will have an oppinion so i guess the entire community on that one (and I dont see it staying around long under the AUP)
While I know where Cleet is going I am not prepared to get into that. Common sence people. Lets nominate persons taht every one can be confident in and who reflect the values of the WD community as a whole.
Awwww. that's sweet. Thanks for saying so. But I'd have to decline. I'm finally learning how to say no to some things and I'm still trying to get to the gym once in a while. so far, no luck on that one :-(Quote:

I agree (except that I don't know about the politic part)Quote:

Support your new Mayet for Mod campaign
LOL :devil: :devil: :devil:
OK, do we get more than one vote?Quote:

I'd vote for Mayet :)
Ruslan for Bios/Motherboards...if he could find time
HudsonSmith for a few of the driver forums
And, the most obvious:
TechZ for News.
AgreedQuote:

Its no good having forum mods who can't stop folks just going & posting in another is it ?
The only reason I've been bleating about wanting more mods is so that when folks want to find one they can & maybe to help Noo out a bit as often when its more matters of opinion she gets stuck with the call, as she's here most & its not always appropriate to sit about & wait for replies from everybody else who's maybe asleep anyway ! (time zones are an issue)
& I think Ornithorhynchus anatinus would be pretty good !
Hmmm...a moderator? Interesting! Very Interesting!

Supermods were needed here because there were not enough forum mods. 3 supermods ensure that there is always cover for a forum mod who is busy/absent/asleep.
It would be best, taking your comments to their end conclusion that forum mods are best, with supermods able to come in to cover as and when. There is no reason why a supermod cannot also be a forum mod.
This is why I asked for the member nomination and the forum s/he would mod.
No doubt you were expecting this 'rebuttle' - but I've got to say that this has clearly not been the case.Quote:

Maybe lots of individual forum mods would help, I think its overcomplicating matters, its not like these mods will have that much to do that much 'except exceptionally' as the ones we have now can do everything 'easy' 99% of the time - its just that other 1% (as always) that seems to take far more dealing with, than it should.
Let's get one thing straight. NooNoo's original post had to do with looking for Mods and which Forums should they mod. We aren't looking for MegaMods or SuperMods or any such thing. We are looking for people who are particularly knowledgable in any of the Tech areas such as Win98 or the Printers Forum or the Office Forum to name a few. These forums rarely have controversial than which version works best under given circumstances or which is preferred: Intel or AMD. Hours are flexible but time online will be required on a somewhat regular basis.
These should be the requirements when looking for a Mod.
We are NOT looking for somebody to mod the Tech Lounge or Politicos. The Admins, MegaMods, SuperMods, any other name you wanna-call-us-Mods will handle those Forums.
Maybe this will halt some of the bickering going on. Maybe.
So what did you lot not understand about doing the seagull thing???
I am going to remove ALL the comments which were NOT asked for in this thread to another thread entitled Nominations debate.... continue there.
The idea was, that since so many were vocal in objecting to trip, to provide a way of allowing the membership voice to be heard about who should be a mod... that is who should be a mod, not who should not be a mod.
I did ask for nominations not criticism... if memory serves, so far trip is the only one to have actually read what was asked for and replied correctly.
Provide a member name and a forum you think s/he would be suited to... is that really so hard???
Further nominations can be pm'd to me and I will add them to the list on the first post.
Thread locked.
