ADMIN: Wanted: new moderator

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I (Josh) will not be able to moderate ILM after August, as I am starting classes for my phd and want all the extra time I can get. I could still moderate, but I would rather have someone do it who can do it well. So if you're interested, please let me know.

What this entails: categorizing new questions (this is the bulk of the work, and is to tell the truth a bit of a pain if you don't keep up with it every day), and keeping an eye on bad posts - abusive, and such (there are also a few part-time moderators keeping an eye on things, who can also delete posts). Content-moderating does take up slightly more time now and then, but usually it's none at all, especially if you're already reading ILM a lot. That's basically it.

I vote kate

I think maybe anyone who gets very mad at other posters would be a bad choice. ;)

What the fuck is THAT supposed to mean, you little pissant?

*cry*

You seem so dubious. I might be able to keep an eye on things but my time commitments are all over the place, so just let me know.

I would volunteer but moderating two busy boards would be insanity.

― DG, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

You do too much already, Ned. I would rather you just edit and write FT stuff. ;)

Yep, DG - would be slow painful type of death.

I'd voulenteer but impending move and overall rejiggering of life (including getting a job) leave my time commitments in the air for the next period.

Hey! ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I was actually thinking of you, Sterl. My courses don't start until September though, so you have a month to find a job. Muahahaha.

I'm willing to try it for the rest of the summer and see how much work it is. I get pretty swamped at times too, but ILM is a release for me, so I think I'd really like to give it a go.

What is "the rest of the summer" for you?

― Josh, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

From now until September, or if you didn't want to abdicate so soon, whenever you are ready. (BTW, Josh, if you want to talk about things off-list you can e-mail me at dmorris@princeton.edu)

― Dave M., Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I'd do it, but I'd just end up banning everyone, so I'm a bad choice. Plus I'd forget I had to do it and screw it up for everyone.

― Ally, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I vote Ally! She would be an online community onto herself. V. postmodern.

Ally.com

DG, Hoos, and Internet Hardman Tombot are all the mods ILx needs.

Wouldn't say no to the return of drunk bipolar Strongo as well.

i was too late for the age of drunk bipolar strongo but it seems a wonderful and heady time
