anyway in no particular order I'd also nominate @JoKalsbeek alongside @MrsA2 @DEBBIESCOTT @Lamont D and last but not least @Ryhia. I've found them all to be friendly and upon a little searching through threads appear to be fairly active and pretty knowledgeable with a nice upbeat attitude in general.

Anyhow good luck

(mod edit to keep thread on topic)

Sorry but I have to turn down any nominations.
I do appreciate it.
Unfortunately, not a good time for me, can only have a few minutes on line around early evening.
Thanks.

Antje77 · Aug 3, 2025

Thanks for the nominations!

I think I'll accept, although I don't have as much time to put in as during my first stint as a mod.

Very happy to see some other members who I think have all it takes to be a good mod having been nominated too.

I'd like to add @SimonP78 , @Hopeful34 , @Fairygodmother , @Marie 2 , @becca59 , @shelley262 , @Rokaab , @AndBreathe , @Ushthetaff , @jpscloud , and @Speedbird to the list of people already nominated.

Thank you for responding to nominations, @Lamont D , and @Antje77.
Also for nominating, others @Antje77.
List will be amended soon.

SimonP78 · Aug 3, 2025

Thank you @Antje77 but I'll have to decline (children, lots of work, bike to be ridden - purely for the sake of my BG of course ).

My thanks to those who do moderate though

Thank you for letting us know- I will add you to the declined

Jhon Doe · Aug 3, 2025

I arrived feeling very lost and @Nicola M was very kind to me, but she is still a moderator and does not need to be re-elected (but if she did, she would have my support).
Another moderator who has been very kind to me and helped me when I needed it, and for that reason I request her re-election, is @EllieM.

And thank you to the group for existing. And to the moderators for making it work.
Best regards

That is really sweet of you to say that, but I have just completed two terms of two years of moderating and mod rules say I can't be a moderator again for (at least) 2 years.

JoKalsbeek · Aug 4, 2025

I think the sitting Mods will be glad to hear I'm declining the nomination, @VashtiB and @grantg... They know from experience I'm a little too loopy when it comes to working in a team. (Of humans. If it were a Mod crew filled with cats, however...!) But thanks for the vote of confidence, it is heartwarming!

Lots of people nominated who'd do an excellent job, or have done a really good one in the past and would do it, again. Looking forward to ticking their boxes.

Ryhia · Aug 4, 2025

Thank you @grantg for the nomination but I think I'll decline this time round. I'm a bit too busy to be able to contribute much at the moment. Thank you for the nomination though, its much appreciated.

Pipp · Aug 4, 2025

Thank you for your prompt responses @JoKalsbeek, and @Ryhia
List will be updated soon.

becca59 · Aug 4, 2025

Shall recuse myself. Am busy caring for parents who live away where there is no reliable internet access and grandchildren. Have little time for me as it is. Thank you for suggesting me.

Thank you Antje77. But I hardly post even though I read a lot on this forum, so probably not the right person. But I love you to bits for putting my name forward.

Pipp · Aug 4, 2025

Thank you for your prompt response @Speedbird
List will be updated soon and we will record that you have declined the nomination.

lovinglife · Aug 4, 2025

A little bump for the evening crew

shelley262 · Aug 4, 2025

Thank you so much for the nomination @Antje77 I do so appreciate this forum and all the support given to me and all our members. However I'm declining the kind nomination for personal reasons.

Just to second @Antje77 I really appreciated her moderation and I'm sure even with less time she'll do an excellent job

Thank you for your swift reply @shelley262, I will update the list
