Nominate New Moderators for ILE/ILX 2.0

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

It appears that we will not only have a new ILX in a few weeks, but that admins will not be carrying over. I don't know if it's because of all the in-fighting that's been going on, but maybe this would
be a good opportunity for everyone to nominate a few neutral, well-respected members of our community.

my picks:

Pashmina (obviously)
Stet (for all his hard work)

Nathalie (fair and kind)
Ed (thoughtful)
Kate MasonicBooms (seems to be online alot)
Ronan (a noble Irishman)
Chaki (but I think he already moderates Ask Chaki?)
Ned Raggett (well coiffed, and a friend to all)
[this list is by no means exhaustive]

I think that the inner circle of donors should have some say in who polices the site, and that those chosen do so fairly.

ROFL. I know, but maybe I know that the devil in me lurks. ;-)

I definitely vote for Dan. I still kick myself for not having met him a few years ago.

Why are people still voting for anyone? This thread was started by *wrinklepaws*, FFS, and Stet has already said the old mods will be staying. Are we plotting some kind of not-very-secret coup now?

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 13 November 2006 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

I'd second Nath, Ed and Ned; not sure about Chaki or Ronan; and the other one would be an utter disaster.

I'd suggest Suzy, Dr C and Anthony.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 13 November 2006 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

i hope they never fix the statscock - i don't want to be reminded of how much time i spend here

As far as I remember, the old statscock never registered how much time I spent scrolling through threads, shaking my head and not posting.

i hope there was some slow jazz playing while you did that.

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Monday, 13 November 2006 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

Ned is already a moderator on I Love Music!
I think Dan P was brilliant as a moderator, but I don't think he enjoyed it very much.

I think the best thing would be to continue w/the ppl we have now, less those who want to retire, and add new moderators if they're needed. Certainly there's a lot less to do since locking unregistered posters killed the spam problem, or so it seems to me, anyway.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 13 November 2006 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

FWIW, I think Nath would be good, if it becomes necessary. ~~But only if she doesn't ban me~~

i think on a Sunday every year, the whole board should have a vote to see who the special guest moderator would be for a specific thread, out of a choice of 3. The day will be forever known as Cyber Sunday (or Taboo Tuesday before 2006)

I think Dan P was brilliant as a moderator, but I don't think he enjoyed it very much.

Thank you! This is mostly true; I quit being a moderator because I felt myself being on the verge of Crossing The Line and I didn't want to be That Moderator. The main reason why I would not become a moderator again is because I recently got a promotion which pretty much guarantees that my ILX presence is going to be slim-to-none during the work week. (Also given half the chance I would try to truncate the ILX database.)
