I don't think spelling is a requirement.

I'm waiting for my endorsement from Ron Paul. At this point I'd be willing to settle for Ross Perot.

I approve of virtually all the nominations so far. I'd be comfortable with pretty much any of the regulars being a moderator, and think Bruce and wolf have done a really good job.

I think different time zones would be helpful, and it would also be helpful to have mods who are in the Cellar a lot.

I am willing to be a mod, and very flattered to be nominated. But to be honest, it's not a job I've been desiring. I've been taking more from the Cellar than I've been giving (don't hit the tip jar too much) so it would be a chance to pay it back a little, and that does appeal to me. I'm here a lot while at work. I've got the Cellar open in a background window almost all day. I'm hardly here at all while at home, so I'd probably only be able to cover things weekdays from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm East Coast (USA) time. No weekends. So I may not be around enough.

It's probably presumptuous of me to be saying any of that, but I figured I'd say it now since I'm maybe going to be out on jury duty for the next two weeks.

I'd nominate myself, but I'm not on enough.

Wolf and Bruce are doing a bang-up job and I re-nominate them for another term.

I would only state for the record that whom ever is eventually elected by UT should have shown a continual and steady position and ability to deal with the flavor of The Cellar and all that goes on here without interjecting personal positions on various issues that they may agree or disagree with. Thanks.

Merc, moderators on this board are here to do clerical and behind the scenes duty. Deal with spammers, help people fix errors, and empty the trash cans. Not control the direction or content of the posts or behavior of the posters, unless it gets to the point of breaking the rules.

Any posts made by a moderator, or UT himself for that matter, is just another personal position, with no more gravity than any other member.
I know there are members of this board that would like the mods to be "school marms" and keep a knuckle slapping ruler handy. Fuck that.

Fuck everybody, for that matter. fuckers.

Hmmm... maybe I should rethink my position.

I'd like to nominate LJ.

It's mostly because he complained, but also because regardless of my personal feelings, he's generally pretty fair and has demonstrated a greater degree of compassion than I'd have given him credit for.

Boy how times have changed huh?

We wouldn't even have to vote LJ in. The Cellar can levy a youtube tax and we can OWN him. The moderator's job may become a matter of indentured servitude. Thrifty!

So far, I haven't seen a nomination that I'd refute. It speaks well of the community.

Not necessarily in that order.......Well, those are my votes.

We still need LJ for his special skills and services....
:)
I'm not sure what he's complaining about...He's the only person around here that can do his cellar job....
Maybe we should give him a proper cellar title and just elect him to it every year.

Definitely, if they want another go.

Thanks for the nomination case:) I don't think I'd be suitable though... too erratic in my dwelling these days :P Never know when I am going to vanish for a couple of weeks and even when I am around, I often just do a flyby ('specially now *grins*)

I think the current mods have done a fine job. If bruce and wolf wanted to continue I'd definately support that. If not, well, pretty much most of the regulars strike me as a good bet. Happy Monkey, Glatt, monster, Case, cloud, Clod, lookout and LJ all spring to mind. As do Zengum, Elspode and .... can't quite believe I am about to type this name, but here goes: Urbane Guerilla.
