Becoming a mod?

No hate mail. At least not from me.

Any chance MCA is a new user id for am old member? That's the first thought that cam to my mind.

No, MCA was a MOD for over 5 years on another site. Her knowledge and information is incredibly valuable for this site, so when she decided to come over here, Admin made the decision to make her a MOD in the banking forum, since she is the one with all the information. It was a special situation. It was done mainly because she has lists that she constantly is updating, and to be able to edit those posts you have to be a MOD. It was either let her MOD the forum made especially because she came over here, or have someone else constantly doing things for her. It just makes sense to make her a MOD. You will see that she is only a MOD in the banking forum, not any of the other forums.

I'd also like to point out that nothing else in the MOD thread is actually being praticed. There are MODS that haven't posted in forever, and they are not losing their MOD status as it said they would.

Also, the idea to have the banking forum was because MCA was thinking of moving over here. If MCA hadn't come over, there wouldn't be a banking forum.

My thoughts are with debtcruncher. I was under the assumption that you started the thread about the banking forum goudah.

I do not remember readiing anything about having someone else being the mod for it. I assumed that it was going to be you. Am I confused or what?

I did start the thread. Because I was trying to get MCA to come over here. If you read through the thread it talks about it her in it.


And I didn't say in the thread someone else would MOD it. That was up to Admin. I didn't even suggest it. They looked at what she has done in the past and the huge following she has, plus what she would need to be able to do her work, and decided to make her a MOD of the banking forum.

There is no need to get upset or defensive about it, I just did not remember reading it that way :? .

I think that she does have valuable information to provide I am not saying that at all. I did read through your thread that is why I made the comment that I did. I guess I was just looking for clarification on it is all.

I wasn't getting defensive, I was just explaining.

Okay, this is how misunderstandings get started. Sorry if I misunderstood you, thanks for clarifying :lol: .

I just speak and type blunty . . . . No hard feelings! :D

Jeff I can't seem to give my away so I guess yall are still stuck with me. :lol: :lol:

Jeff - I think I got two threads confused. I was referring to the thread "Mission Statement for all Moderators, present and future." What I was talking about wasn't posted in the same thread DC was talking about.

Nice attempt to post and flame a member, anonymous. If you can't say something nice, you don't get to say anything at all.

And "ahhhhhhhhh" goudah. I thought I was blind.

The management usually allows me to take most of the decisions within the community. I was not in the town last week. Since Vikas and Jason were handling the board for the most of the time in my absense, they considered some of the community members decision and reviewed MCA's post.

Thank you Jeff. Someone seems to have something against me today and wants to turn this into something about me.

Yeah. I am staying logged in when I am making fun of you, so it isn't me.

:D

MCA is becoming a valuable member and she has good thoughts about the community. I know she will do all the help and spread her knowledge. It????????s good to inspire her and she will take care of her role in an efficient way.

I agree Mike.


And Jeff - I know you would just make fun of me under your own name. You wouldn't hide yourself! There'd be no fun in that! :D

OK, no harm done. I'm glad this thread didn't get blown out of proportion. Not suggesting that MCA shouldn't be a mod, I just wanted some clarification. It makes sense now that Goudah mentions, that only a mod can edit posts; and seeing MCA's posts, I guess she should be able to edit them.

Welcome, MCA, glad you're here. Don't take this post personally, K. I would have asked the same question of anyone that became a mod the first day.

... why aren't we following those rules? I wonder why did me make a concerted effort to restrict mod status, when there is no enforcement. Ah well, nuff said.

I think that we all agree to disagree and act respectfully towards each other. As my grandmother always said "you can catch more bees with honey than vinegar".

Why would anyone want to catch bees? Did our grandparents have nothing better to do?

Maybe I should trick the bees one day and put a pop can outside filled with vinegar.

funny, no that was just a saying that she used to say...in other words only speak nice about someone, I know sometimes hard to do while gritting your teeth and smiling but it can be done.
