Aw, I was just about to nominate you @Lamont D .It only seems like last month we did this!
And no thanks!
Been refusing for quite a few years, getting my oar in early.Wonderful news!
If anyone wants to know more about what it means to be a moderator, please ask away.
Current and former mods will be happy to answer any questions.
I loved being a moderator for 4 years.
Sometimes it's frustrating, sometimes it's hard work, but one of the most wonderful things you get back from it is being part of a very close team working together on making this forum a safe and better place.
Aw, I was just about to nominate you @Lamont D .
Don't worry, there is a mandatory two year gap after 4 years of having been a mod.I just don't want to disappoint my fanbase.
Which is why, I think you also need to put out a disclaimer of your intentions!
The time spent on here I have never nominated anyone, recommended maybe, so I will have a think.Don't worry, there is a mandatory two year gap after 4 years of having been a mod.
So my intentions are to keep this thread lively and to find the people who'd be interested in the job!
What about we kick off nominating some people to stay on topic, @Lamont D ? We don't want to create extra work for the current mods by having to moderate us for derailing...
I'll nominate a couple of easy ones, all competent former mods I loved to work with:
@Rachox , @AndBreathe , @Juicyj , any of you up for a second round?
So who do you nominate, @Lamont D ?
You could even do this in confidence by PM to any current mod or @Administrator.So if you fancy it then put yourself forward then don’t be shy - put your hand up!
Thank you so much for the nomination @jpscloud very thoughtful but it's not possible for me at this time.Would @shelley262 be interested? Knowledgeable, kind, helpful -hope you don't mind me nominating you!
It’s basically keeping the forum safe & making sure any posts/members don’t break the forum rules, I’ve always said it’s not about knowledge of diabetes though it helpsWhat's involved in being a moderator, and what is the expected time involvement?
While I'm a total newbie, this forum has given me an instant community and superb support when I needed the most, and I definitely want to give back to the community. I do check in regularly, multiple times a day, but I guess being moderator is not quite the same as skipping posts that might not be relevant to me right now and commenting on things that peak my interest without always having to think if I might say something too controversial in the context of specific conversation.
Are there any other qualifications that apply apart from the member vote?
Thanks for the nomination @Antje77 , I am seriously considering taking up moderation again if the forum will have me. I will decide for sure in due course.I'll nominate a couple of easy ones, all competent former mods I loved to work with:
@Rachox , @AndBreathe , @Juicyj , any of you up for a second round?
