Moderator nomination thread - Page 2

I think wolf is still suffering from limited internet access?

I have no gripes about the current team, but would like to mention the following points in favor of nominating others:

1) as Stormie says, moderators get very little thanks and are not noticed if the site is going well ..except at times like these when their endeavours are brought into the spotlight and people suddenly remember to praise them. -that could make it hard to step down if you would like a break, so I welcome the nomination of alternatives, just in case either bruce or wolf feel they've had enough (temporarily or permanently), but do not want to feel they're abandoning ship

2) As UT says, moderators get treated differently -regardless of how well known and loved they are before they become mods. maybe our current mods would like a break to "be themselves" again. nominating others makes this easier (rest of argument same as above)

3) The cellar is dynamic -different mods may be the next catalyst for the next phase

4) Annual election with real choices makes this place feel more "ours", even if we go with the present incumbents. Speaking of "ours", when are you resetting the tip mug for January, UT?

I agree with what monster said... I think it's a job that you really need a break from periodically. ("Periodically," of course, is open to very subjective judgment by different people.)

If elected I will ignore all duties.

Griff · 12-31-2007, 09:46 PM

SE-F wanted me to put this up for her.

Mods in different time zones is not a bad idea.....

Ibby · 01-01-2008, 03:29 AM

I don't think it gets any further away from the states than here...
even austrailia's closer to america!

Nice spelling of Australia there Ibram.

Merc, do you realize you nominated 3 aussies? Oh and also startled me to see one of them was me.

I will decline the nomination though thanks (although I doubt there was any danger of me being elected anyway.

)

DucksNuts · 01-01-2008, 04:25 AM

Must be nice to have a history of faith and convictions.

Aliantha · 01-01-2008, 04:52 AM

I think the lack of faith and over abundance of convictions is what got us to the spot we're in at the moment.
