Suggestions to qualify for the role of a moderator

Fedup, I think the links are better than the cutting and pasting. I think if a link is important and pertains to the thread, then it should be posted, and would count as a helpful post. But in the past some people have abused this and posted all kinds of links all over the board, many of them repetitive. Definitely, links should be kept to a minimum! :D

Everyone, please PM me the names who you think qualifies for the role of a moderator in the next update. Vikas will be announcing them in this month.

Regards
Mike

I agree finsfan, there were a few who did nothing but cut and paste which makes the points add up fast. To me that is an abuse of the points system which I think is very generous of the site to offer its members. I hate it when I see it being abused. And I don't like it when somebody cuts and pastes without giving credit where it is due. I've seen that done before also.

Mike, I sure hope to see Brownsugar on that list. She has been extremely helpful and supportive to others, guests and members. She has been here for quite some time and I could never figure out how others who were here far less time and made it and she has never been nominated.

Please keep posting your suggestions or send me a PM. This way, we all will have a common understanding of the members qualifying for the mods role in the future.

Thanks steelers for your opinion.

Regards
Mike

I agree with Steelers about Brownsugar. I also want to add Kscornell. I've always wondered why newer members, people without their experience, got the title first.

Not everyone carrys on business in the forum. Some post just as important information as a PM to The individual poster. That does not always get counted!

I have nothing further to add except to rephrase that a moderator should not be judged by their experience here as they may have experience they brought from their past with them to help people here.

Just wanted to add that the moderators who are already here are really gonna have to make up their mind.When I copy and paste info,I hear about it.When I put links up,I hear about it. So someone really needs to decide what you want. All of my links have been looked at by management or they are links to pages on our forum. :?

Cajun, when I griped about the links, I'm talking about a past member who seems to no longer be here. Mishele knows exactly who I am talking about. Please don't take the link talk personally. I do think links and cutting and pasting tends to be a bit excessive at times, it's just not necessary. I know that I have above average intelligence and only need to have something told to me, I don't need a chart and graphs to explain it. That's just my opinion.

Roadwarrior has a very good point about pms. A lot of people here do a lot of work behind the scenes helping out.

Fin,I try not to take it personal and I also do a lot of legal work behind the scenes even though pdl/poptart mom seemed to take offense when I pm someone. I know I can't please everyone.If I could I would already be rich. I don't know if you read the pub posts completely,but our buddy DD stuck his nose in here today. Mike knows about and is replugging his holes but wants all the mods to keep a close eye out for that one there!You have a good night.

Okay, let's not turn this into a little fight. Cajun, Fins and I weren't referring to you. We were referring to another member who is no longer here. I believe that you post valuable information. There are times that I do cut and past state laws where payday loans are concerned. I tend to do this for the new members on the board. I do a lot of work through pms too. That is because some people don't want to post that type of personal information on the board.

I agree that both Brownsugar and kscornell would be great choices for moderators :-)

Fins/Mishele, I do apologize for my comments if they hurt you. It is very hard to moderate in these last few weeks.I will try to follow our mods guidelines and Management suggestions to improve the way I mod and post.

Thank you again Cajun for the nice words.. :evil:
I give.. and yes you can delete this and moderate to your heart content But when I read post that you have to ???????affirm ???????another moderator deletion it makes my blood boil that you ???????RUN??????? things here. Knock yourself out..

Thanks to all that have been ???????KIND??????? and HELPFUL??????? but I have enough on my plate that I don????????t need to come to this board and get aggravated I do understand why some very good people have left..
Best of luck to the great people on this board that do HELP..
Mike cash me out.

Poptartmom,we both have issues. The main reason I have been upset with you was for questioning my job here. I have contacted All 3 admins that run this board and I have also publically apologized for any mistakes I made in doing my tasks here. When I get called out for pm a admin, it gets me upset and would probably get anyone upset. Any member can use pm to communicate private issues that do not need to be posted where anyone can read them. I do not delete anyone's post here except to remove persnal info or forum violations.The user that had his posts removed is Doug Danger who by the way was completely banned from this board for violating the rules in a major way. I informed Mike of him being here and after his response,started cleaning my boards and informing other mods of admin's decision to remove him again. You are welcome to confirm any of this with Mike,Jason,or Vikas. I would like to attempt to resolve this if that is humanly possible.I would have sent this in Pm,but thought everyone should read it.

I think Brownsugar and ks should be nominated too!! I've been gone for 3 days with a nasty stomach virus, and trying to read tese posts, I'm confused. Something was said about the mods that are already here need to make up their minds-what do I need to make my mind up about?! I'm still in a fog from the virus, but I couldn't understand if I am supposed to do somehing!!..KAren

Just my one cent "since I'm so far in debt I can't pay 2 cents....lol (Just a joke don't get mad) but anyways My son has a proboard site for his school and they have mods on there and they tried the voting new mods idea and it didn't work out that well. Mind you they are all teens and not ummm adults like us but there was still a lot of drama caused by it. A lot of the kids wanted their best friends placed as mods and when they where given mod rights they abused that right. They violated the rules of the board and let their other friends do the same. I guess my suggestion would be pick a mod that does the most to help others on the board. Pick people that you feel you can trust (be they popular with others or not).

Like I said just my one cent but there you have it. :D

Bossy,

I hope you are feeling better sweetie :-) I really didn't understand it either.

I missed you Karen!!!

Hell, we're women..We can't make up our mind about anything!! :? What are we supposed to be making our minds up about?

I am confused as well. I don't know what to do. Do I make the Garlic/Chicken Noodles, or do I make the Cheddar/Broccoli Noodles? I just don't know, if I ask my kids they disagree, now I really don't know what to do.

I feel your pain, Steelers. I was having trouble deciding what to wear. Do you think I should wear my cute apple green tee with the v-neck and 3/4 length sleeves tomorrow, or the purple one with long sleeves?

Too much drama folks! Lets get back on track to helping people who are feeling desperate.....

"What are you going to wear, Muffy?" " I don't know, what are YOU wearing, Buffy?"" (Just had to throw that in..) I have been reading the prior posts proposing myself and Brownsugar as moderators, and definately agree that Brownsugar would be wonderful. As for myself, I am very flattered to even be considered by the forums. This is a difficult job and I appreciate the work that all of the moderators do on a volunteer basis. I know it's extensive and a large part is indeed behind the scenes.
Thanks again for the support!

Thanks guys, I'm feeling better now! :D Karen

Kscornell, you would be a BRILLIANT mod!! :D

Go Kscornell and Brownsugar!!!

Go with the apple green tee. I finally decided on the garlic chicken noodles. I was happy with my choice. But now the delimma starts over again tonight, spaghetti or barbeque chicken with mashed potatoes. It never ends.

OK,
For the men on the boards: boxers or briefs?? I just can't decide!

LOL! Now this is one I can definitely make up my mind on! :D Always, always, ALWAYS boxers.

Boxer briefs.

i can't handle boxer briefs...Something about the tightness of them grosses me out...lol I love my Chris bunches, but if he walks out in tighty whities or anything clinging to his leg, I'm done for the night...lol Anyways..

I'm in a pickle myself...Do I order pizza? Or do I eat these last 2 boxes of girl scout cookies for dinner tonight??

I'm having MORE problems guys..Do we order pizza from Pizza Hut tonight, or Papa Johns? And where do we hide the eggs tonight?

Fins---You could do what my mom used to do and NOT hide the eggs..Just because it was funny to watch us look.

And I would say Papa Johns...I don't like pizza hut.

Really? You don't like Pizza Hut? Oh wow..I love their pan pizza more than almost anything else on earth..But Papa Johns has really wonderful fresh veggies.

They also give you the garlic butter for dipping! Papa Johns! I've decided I am making spaghetti, too many decisions to make.

The last time I ate pizza hut, I threw up for 2 days. And everytime I've ordered it, it shows up cold, like it's been sitting for hours.

We have a place here in Hilliard called Cottage Inn that we've been ordering from at work> It's really good, and the prices are good.

Dude, what's up with your double posts? I even noticed a triple one in another thread. Jeez! I'm gonna start calling you thread hog!! :lol:

What I really want is Red Robin, but everyone else wants pizza, so I'm stuck. I made a wonderful cake to bring for Easter tomorrow, I can't wait. Plus my sister is making 7-layer-salad, and that is probably on my top 10 list of favorite foods.

MmmmmMMmm Red robin. Come down here, Fins, and we'll go. :)

Maybe we can get another manager to look down your shirt? You know you liked it.

I work tomorrow, I'm going to miss Easter. :(

I did like it, Jess. I want another boy manager with bad skin to look down my shirt. It makes me feel powerful.

I'm sorry you have to work. Want a Reese's egg? I miss you like hell!!!

Miss you too. Yes, I want a Reece's egg. Yummy. My Chris got me a stuffed Easter bunny..And an Easter dog holding an easter egg. The're adorable.

AWWWWW...My husband got me a bunch of dark choclate and a fluffy stuffed kangaroo. That's my favorite animal.

Andrew is getting like $50 worth of candy, a big Lego set, and a "captain underpants" book. I went way overboard, but he's such a great kid, I couldn't help it.

Andrew is adorable. He deserves it because he has freckles. :) And he is a very good kid.

Thank you!!! He is a good kid, though. I am very proud of Paul and I for that.

I just txt'd you a picture of my friend's baby..The one that I sent pics of when he was first born. He's turning into a little man already. :)

He is a doll!! Makes me want another one! I remember the first pic you sent, when he was sleeping..I showed Paul, and we both went "awwwwww!"

We have a good Pizza Hut around here. We usually order from there but I like Papa John's too.
