Mod Elections 2019 - Nominations Closed. Thank you everyone!

[satindoll]

Thank you @satindoll for the nomination, but gotta echo the words of @Bluetit1802

I'm no longer cut out for those duties as I once might have been. The non conformist in me would never sit well with the role

Shame.........

Hi guys,

Thanks for the kind words & wishes.. It's been a blast!

However, could we keep the thread to the topic of nominating candidates...

Thank you!

 

[Robinredbreast]

I would like to nominate :
@slip a good all rounder
@Prem51 always a lovely considerate forum contributer
@Pinkorchid for her honest thinking, often with good judgement
and lovely @Daphne917 ( but not sure about the cat in a burger )

Thank you!

Just did

Not nominating (sorry mods delete if inappropriate)
It's worth keeping in mind moderating is about a persons ability to remain calm, level headed and impartial and less about experience, knowledge, how long and what type of diabetes they may have and their length of time on the forum. So nobody should rule themselves out just because they still feel they are learning - we are all still learning

 

[lovinglife]

I second @Prem51 always helpful and friendly

 

[Jaylee]

Is there a definition of what moderators do?

Hi Helen,

You know how you go for a trip out in a picturesque village & it won some sort of "Britain in bloom award?" There's not so much as a chewing gum wrapper on the pavement. Of course the residents have a pride in their environment. But look closer. You might see the odd guy in a high viz jacket with a litter picker too...

Back on topic. When's the last time you've seen any spam, or "snake oil" on the forum. Or possibly a thread rattling on with "bad blood" flowing twixt members.

Hope this helps..

Thanks @Robinredbreast and @Lovinlife for suggesting me, it's very nice of you, but I have to decline. I don't have the tech skills, and I go through periods from time to time when I just can't be bothered about anything.

I understand, take care

 

[Diakat]

As @Mel dCP has, literally, something better to do (I can’t argue with training to become a paramedic) can I nominate @Knikki as a guy with a wonderful pragmatic approach to managing his type 1 diabetes honed over a fair number of years?

You can nominate any member Helen. I’ll add him to the list.

 

[therower]

I’ll second @Knikki as a nomination. An ideal candidate.

 

[LooperCat]

I’d definitely third @Knikki - he’s been a T1 for a long time and has an HbA1c I’d kill for, all while basically eating cake. And being Captain Scarlet doesn’t hurt either

It's like most things isn't it, you may not notice what a person does when they're successful in doing it but you don't half notice when they stop!

 

[lovinglife]

I'd like to nominate @lucylocket61 - always kind and courteous

 

[michita]

Well, I would like to nominate @Antje77 as I think he is brilliant

 

[Bluetit1802]

Well, I would like to nominate @Antje77 as I think he is brilliant

He is a she!

 

[michita]

He is a she!

Oh I didn’t know I’m sorry @Antje77

 

[Antje77]

He is a she!

I'm not. Or maybe I am, but I chose not to disclose what's in my pants on my profile for a reason. Happy with whatever pronoun you choose though

 

[ziggy_w]

Hello all. A bit late on the parade -- as always.

Thanks @Debandez for the nomination -- I am actually blushing a bit, so really appreciate it.

Those of you who know me, will also be aware of how crazy work can be for me. So, until I retire, I will probably have to decline. However, I still very much appreciate the thought.

I second (or third, or fourth) the nominations of @Goonergal, @Brunneria, @kitedoc, @Antje77 and @lucylocket61. All supportive and knowledgeable forum members and I think all would make great moderators.

No matter, I'm happy to endorse your nomination. Your mission if you choose to take it.....
