Forum nominations 2023

[HSSS]

Sorry missed this @Pipp. No, we have had a pm message.
I would really like to @Brunneria as a mod, but I don't believe she would like not to return as a mod.

When does voting start?

There is no vote. There were enough spaces for all nominations to succeed.

The first post on the thread was updated but many of us (you and me at least obviously) don’t go back to the start of each thread when we revisit it so missed the update.

No apology needed from you, @Lamont D . At the time of the earlier comments the thread was becoming somewhat frivolous, so I was bringing things to order, again. I do agree, @Brunneria was an excellent forum mod, and I had the great honour of working alongside her and learning a great deal from her, at an earlier mod stint. (But won’t derail this thread and turn it into the Brunneria appreciation society. It would only make her blush ).

For any members wondering, once nominations close, moderators have no part in the elections process. This is to prevent any perceived manipulation by the current mods, to get the people they prefer in place. Not that we would.

After nominations close, the rest of the election procedure is undertaken by the admin team. @Administrator, and @Carson_dcuk .

Hi All, I am very sorry, I had only edited the main post which unfortunately hadn't notified anyone of the changes. I have posted the revised post below. My apologies again.

***ELECTION UPDATE***

Hi, thank you all for taking part in the nominations and this year's election process. As we only have a few new mods joining the team there is no need for an election, and we will be welcoming the new mods

Hope you two stick around.

And maybe @Carson_dcuk you could find the blogs that have been missing since the upgrade?

Just noticed that the new mods @lovinglife @TriciaWs and @ianf0ster have had their new position acknowledged on their avatars, so wanted to wish them good luck in their new roles.

 

[Lamont D]

Good luck with the likes of myself, the old codgers, getting grumpier as we age!

My best wishes to all the mods!

Thank you @Lamont D , from this grumpy old codger mod.

I'm sure they'll do very well, and I'd like to echo @Lamont D : Good luck with the likes of myself once I'm retired as a mod!
Until then, I'll try my best to help them get settled into their new role of course.

There is, I feel, a bit of frustration, to be as playful, as is allowed in forum rules coming along quite soon!

I didn't think there was any room for playfulness within the forum rules - outside of the Mods forum that is !

I look forward to not weighing my words as precisely as I do as a mod, and I'm all for playfulness!

Lots of room for playfulness on the forum, just choose well where to let it out.

There are threads that most mods don't know exist and always the rpms!
Which no mod has found yet!I
Is always means to an end!

Many thanks to @Jaylee and @Antje77 for their sterling service and all the best to the current team.
