Moderator nomination thread

Undertoad · 01-01-2007, 04:31 PM

This is part one of the moderators election. (Part two is the actual vote.)

The term of office for this election is through 1/1/2008, and the number of moderators shall remain unchanged at two.

Nominate people to be voted on in the moderators election. People nominated here will appear in the moderators vote, unless they specifically say they do not accept the nomination.

(This last rule, in bold, is a change from the last nomination thread.)

Nominations will close at 11:59 pm Eastern time on Jan. 3, which is approximately 54 hours from now. If this is longer than appears necessary, it's only to make sure everyone gets a chance to see the thread and participate.

Nominations are open.

I nominate Lookout123. I don't always agree with him, but I agree with the way he treats those who disagree with him. I may have a short term memory, but I don't recall him acting like a schmuck in any flamewars.

He also appreciates Labrat's ass, which shows he has good taste. Of course we might have the first moderator sex scandal in history, but it wouldn't be boring.

I nominate Elspode. Probably one of the most level headed people in the Cellar.

Clodfobble · 01-01-2007, 05:42 PM

I re-nominate xoxoxoBruce and wolf. A fine job they've been doing, a fine job.

DanaC · 01-01-2007, 05:46 PM

I thought they didn't want to do it anymore? Is that not why we're doing this?

CaliforniaMama · 01-01-2007, 06:56 PM

Newbie question: What does the moderator actually do?

zippyt · 01-01-2007, 06:58 PM

When the moderator roles were first created it was for a set term, to be up for consideration again at the end of the year. There are no term limits, and neither has publically expressed a desire to give up the job. It's just election time, is all.

I'm wondering when UG is going to nominate me...

wolf · 01-02-2007, 12:00 AM

I gracefully accept the nomination. I usually end up doing night patrol on the spam watch.

Excellent! Is Bruce willing to go again?

Yes, this is just a term of office thing.
