Mod Elections 2019 - Nominations Closed. Thank you everyone!

[Rokaab]

Apologies if this is not the correct thread to ask but ... out of curiosity ...
@DCUKMod why is your role "outside these parameters"?
Is there a definition of your role?

Its probably because @DCUKMod is not a moderator, she is the forum administrator (and quite possibly the whole site) so will look after the forums which may include stuff like forum upgrades, admins generally have a lot more access rights than mods do for all areas of the forums.
In general the admin role for any forums (that are provided by a company) is not an electable position as it's actually a job in the company that runs said forums.

I am a retained employee of DCUK (not full time - just for clarity)

 

[Bluetit1802]

My thanks go to each and every one of the current mod team, and to @DCUKMod . What a hard thankless task it must be at times. (Can't do right for doing wrong scenario). Very sorry to see @Pipp and @Jaylee retiring.

I would like to nominate @Guzzler

It is also useful to have some mods from different time zones to keep an eye on matter when the UK is asleep.

 

[satindoll]

I agree with @Bluetit1802 about the time zone mods which was why I suggested Indy, MikeD and Tipetoo........and I second @Guzzler ...........

 

[Goonergal]

I agree the resident incumbents have done a great job........thank you Ladies and Gents.........sorry to see @Jaylee and @Pipp leave.
My nominations are @Brunneria , @Goonergal , @bulkbiker ,@Debandez, @Tipetoo ..........would like to nominate again this time @Indy51 and @Mike D in case they have changed their minds

Thanks @satindoll I would be interested and second all your other nominations.

 

[satindoll]

Many thanks @satindoll for the nomination but I really don't have the temperament to be a mod.. I still get modded myself!
Far too fond of being a curmudgeonly old b***ger.

Shame as I think you'd be great...........a breath of fresh air.........and there's nothing wrong in being a curmudgeonly old b***ger..........

 

[satindoll]

Thanks @satindoll I would be interested and second all your other nominations.

Great stuff @Goonergal ........

 

[Guzzler]

Thank you @Bluetit1802 and @satindoll. Your nominations are appreciated but I simply do not have the technical skills (or the tech - my old Tablet is on its last legs, bit like meself!) to do the job justice. Neither do I have the diplomacy needed for such a task.

Good Luck to all nominees and a big thank you to all those mods who are retiring, your efforts are appreciated.

 

[lovinglife]

Thank you to all current mods for a job well done! will think about nominating someone - all my usual suspects have already been mentioned lol - good luck to anyone going into the vote

 

[Chook]

There's so many lovely people that it's difficult to choose but I'd like to nominate @Brunneria and @Goonergal and I think @Tipetoo would be great.

 

[xfieldok]

Happy to endorse Brunneria and goonergal also Tipetoo.

 

[HSSS]

I would like to nominate @EllieM and @HSSS for their knowledge base and their fair minded approach.

Thank you @Guzzler I’m honoured you thought to nominate me. I may not have been on these forums as long as many of you but I’d love the opportunity to help keep them the fantastic resource that they are. So if fresh faced (who am I kidding?) enthusiasm and keenness to support all diabetics make well informed choices and maximise their physical and mental health counts for anything then I’m in. I’m feeling a little shy and nervous being the first to publicly accept a nomination but I guess it has to be someone. Nothing ventured nothing gained and all that!

 

[Deleted member 308541]

I think @Tipetoo would be great.

also Tipetoo.

Thank you for the nomination @Chook and @xfieldok, but have to decline as I am a long term moderator at another forum I cannot handle two forums properly.

I wish all of the successful nominees the best of luck as new mods at DCUK though.

 

[Diakat]

Any RH people spring to mind? Or MOODY (yes I know I am) or LADA? Or any other type I have missed?
Get your lovely nominations in...

 

[endocrinegremlin]

I think @helensaramay would make a wonderful mod if they are interested in the role.

Thank you to all the mods who have got us to this point. We don't always agree but I know this must be a heck of a job and I appreciate your time and work.

 

[Debandez]

Bumping up again for Monday morning.
I'd like to thank @Pipp and @Jaylee for their service as Moderators and I hope they will continue to play an active part in the forum.
Also thanks to @Brunneria, @Juicyj , @urbanracer , @Diakat and @Rachox for continuing in their role as Mods.

HERE HERE!!! CAPITALS REQUIRED AS THIS NEEDS TO BE LOUD

 

[Debandez]

Well I'm very honoured to have been nominated for this very responsible role by @satindoll. Thank you for the vote of confidence. I have to decline for several reasons. 1) I actually dont feel I have enough knowledge to do this role justice 2) I'm carer for my BIL who has taken a turn for the worse this year. I cant get on the forum as often as I would like to of late. I miss out on so much. But he has to come first 3) my own work, it's all or nothing, I can have periods where I'm almost as free as a bird, then other times I hardly get chance to breathe! 4) I've got fat fingers and as such leave so many typos in my posts!!! Anything could happen

@Brunneria has my vote, what an admirable job she does

I would also nominate the following

@Goonergal
@shelley262
@DJC3
@xfieldok
@ziggy_w
@Bluetit1802
@Guzzler
@rhubarb73
@HSSS
@bulkbiker
@helensaramay

I have many more nominations but not sure if there is a limit, maybe one of our amazing mods could let me know.

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank them for all their hard work. Without you this forum wouldn't be as special as it is. You all do a mighty fine job and I cant thank you enough for all the time and effort you put in. Special thanks to @Pipp and @Jaylee for all their help, advice and support. Happy mod retirement.

Shouting in uppercase is frowned upon in web netiquette, but here's a fix for stuck cap lock keys it's called MapKeyboard.

I have been using it for years to disable the Caps Lock key.

I would respectfully decline, I have a lot on my plate right now. Maybe next year.
