Forum moderator nominations 2022 - now open!

[Antje77]

Once again I nominate @Fenn based purely on looks and personality, I have spoken to him and he would accept the job as head moderator on the condition he received £2 from each forum member, weekly. PayPal and all major credit cards accepted.

Too bad. I'd love to finally have a mod with looks and personality in the team, but your terms automatically disqualify you based on rule C12 of our forum ethos:
Further examples where Moderation is likely to take place:
Using our Forum as a method to solicit users without seeking prior approval from the Moderators.

Getting so hard to find a well paying volunteers role these days, in all seriousness though, I nominate all current mods based purely on awesomeness!

 

[zand]

Yes, I think the current mods do a good job too.

 

[Dr Snoddy]

Many thanks to the existing mods for all their selfless hard work. I am flattered to have been nominated but will decline as I am currently getting involved in a more person to person voluntary role. However I shall continue to hunt down trolls and snake oil salesman from the sidelines and to debunk myths and scientifically unfounded beliefs.

I wish you well with the voluntary role you're taking, hope it will be as enjoyable as being a mod is!
And please keep hunting from the sidelines, it's much appreciated!

I nominate @zand

 

[zand]

I nominate @zand

On the grounds that I am not good looking and have no personality whatsoever I must respectfully decline. Of course, the lack of financial inducements has nothing to do with my decision.

Seriously, I have needed to be moderated myself a few times recently and I therefore don't think I am suitable for the post.

Thanks

Not having been moderated in the past is not a prerequisite to be a mod.
If you'd like to stand for election, please do!

Thanks, but I'd rather not. Thanks for this message though

You're welcome, I'll adjust the opening post.

 

[Antje77]

And two more anonymous nominations came in.
@MrsA2 and @Fairygodmother , would you like to have a go at joining the team?

 

[MrsA2]

I really can't. Neither my eyesight nor my typing skills are good enough. It takes me ages to do the few bits I do post, sorry

 

[Antje77]

Oh, that a sad reason to have to decline, I'm sorry.
However, if it also affects your reading, I think you're right to decline. We don't really need to write a lot, but we do a lot of reading and skimming through threads and skipping between tabs.
I'll edit the opening post.

In the vein of it takes a thief to catch a thief, being moderated sounds like a bonus point,

Sad about the money part

I thought you'd have been a good choice but like others , have to respect your decision .

Take care, @zand

I fully agree!

 

[zand]

@Andydragon @Antje77 @EllieM @Jaylee @Rachox @searley @VashtiB

 

[Marie 2]

Beat me to it @zand ! I was thinking of doing the exact same thing!

 

[Rachox]

Hi @zand, sorry for the delay in replying but we have to wait for @Administrator to confirm who on the mod team is eligible for re-election. They should be back in the office tomorrow so should get a definite answer for you then.
