Very curious about something What are qualifications for the MODS

SD, I've always found your posts informative and inciteful. I'm sorry, I guess I haven't come across any of the posts you're talking about... I don't think any mod should be talking down to anybody.

I guess we don't exactly have any prereq's for a mod - it's just whom the admin sees fit based on a person's experience and involvement. I personally think you are fit to be a mod. Anyone second?

Well.......personally, I don't know if i would have the time. Are the MODS on here on a constant basis? I just try to help who I can, and get advice at the same time.

I'm not mad. I'm just 'AWWWed' by it.

Not a moderator, myself, so not sure if my opinion counts; however I think SDChargers_63 would make a great moderator.

I'm with DebtCruncher as I can't think of any time I have seen your outspokenness cause problems in the forms; if it did, I totally missed it. I know I have been the center of a "poop-storm" a time or two for talking out about what I feel is the right thing to do and the right way to treat people. Others didn't feel I was right; however, and controversies were started.

If that's the only reason you haven't been asked to be a mod, then I think you might need to question that. In the past, I have seen a mod or two behave pretty much the way you described and they felt perfectly justified in doing so. Sort of a "do as I say, not as I do" mentality. A few months back, I questioned a mod regarding a post that I felt was unprofessional and seemed to be and attempt stirring up trouble and the entire thread, not just the post I questioned, was completely deleted and admin couldn't tell me who did it.

So I find it odd whenever someone finds fault in another's actions when they are guilty of the same themselves.

Thsi din't happen recently. It happened sometime ago. At the time, the individual wasn't a MOD.....however, APPARENTLY, my 'outspokeness' bothered this person. I wasn't being "unprofessional", the person thought I was. Anyway.....I will say it again. I will not apologize for anything I say ( past and present..) and I won't 'change' myself, because someone is upset.

I know some of my posts have stirred up the pot at times and sometimes I take things a bit too personally but I can't recall any posts that might have "talked down" to you sdchargers 63.

Well..................i appriciate everyone's support. Thanks.

Well, at the risk of sounding cliche'.

At the end of the day, you're the only one that has to live with your conscious and whether or not you did the bast that you could do, while trying to avoid being walked all over, mistreated, and standing up for yourself.

If you can live with yourself knowing you didn't mistreat anyone else in the process, then you shouldn't worry about what others may think.

8) :lol: I WANT TO VOTE NOW FOR A VERY WONDERFUL
MEMBER OF THIS FORUM:SDCHARGERS63!!!
I AGREE THAT HE IS GREAT AND HE IS WORKING HARD EITHER.
I SEE HIM EVERYWHERE HELPING US!!!
MY COMPUTER IS GIVING BIG TROUBLE BUT I LOVE SDCHARGERS63.I THINK HE REALLY DESERVE TO BE A MODERATOR.

I agree sd you deserve it.:) I have been on here for over a year now and can't recall anything that you have said that was out of line.

I thank and applaud ALL of you. I have alot to learn about fixing my own debts, etc. Howevr..I'm getting alot of advice from wonderful people, like you. I ALSO would like to add ..alot of you ( from your PM's or posts BACK to me..) think I'm a male. NOPE.....I'm a female. Yep...44 year old, single mom, working full time and serving in the Army Reserves. I'm just a MAJOR football fan ( can't ya tell? San Diego Chargers!! Even though they aren't doing well this season, I still stick with them.). Originally from the West Coast. I thank everyone, again, for your support.

i too think you would be a good debt sam or moderator.i also knew you were a lady.heck my first few months of posts were raw and ruffled some people with those posts.you have come a long way chargers and are a great member here.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm 'alone' concerning financial issues. But......with ALL of you, on this forum, I feel a bit more at ease. Thanks.

SD- I think you post very informative posts. Don't worry about what others say about what you post. In the 2 years I have been here, I can't count the nasty things said and written about me,pmd,home page, etc. But I don't stay here for them, but for me to hopefully help someone else.

I know I was here over a year before I became mod. One of the things they told me was that they wanted someone that was going to be on the site quite often, and at that time, it was pretty much hit and miss.

Good Luck to you, and keep posting!!..karen
