Busy site stuff day ;)

New Moderators - we are looking for a few volunteers & nominations out of our members for new moderators at S-B. We would like two, three, or maybe even four more people to help out. The moderators we have have done and CONTINUE to do a fantastic job with this site but we have also grown a lot since then too and I would like to see more hands helping out...

What is best in a moderator?

Fairly level headed (might be occasionally abused by into the late evening when some are :buds: )
Fair and Open Minded - not delete trigger happy. You don't have to agree with something to let a post stand. It is moderation, not censorship.

Some basic computer skills - if you can type //$Blo:af:>:wall:> the same way twice :rotfl:

Works well with others

What do we need in a moderator?

Someone who genuinely enjoys S-B and Fishing
Someone who has been here a couple years and wants to be part of the team doing day to day post moderation - though I would like to see someone relatively new of at least 6 months for a slightly different perspecive.
A person that does not mind spending a few extra minutes over the course of a day keeping an eye on things
Someone that would like to contribute to our community.
Just Plain Good People

What would you do?

You would have the keys to lock or temporarily delete a thread / post that is unacceptable. Edit a post if necessary if something is out of line, and help me and the other moderators steer S-B in the right direction. Yes, I do own S-B, but I just provide the materials - the members AND the Moderatos MAKE it a community :btu:
Permenantly Ban users like the jackbutt loser of Labor Day Weekend posting obscene stuff because his mom did not breast feed him enough when he was a child.
You might need to occasionally jump into an argument and ask both sides to return cooly to their corners.

We might even have a vote if there is a long list of volunteers / nominations.

I was right there with you ... lost me on level headed :bounce:

:wavey:

John, let me know if i qualify, i am defidently interested.

John,
You just described our own "Lover of People":hihi:
Bigfish !!!


Well he's on this site more than anybody atleast !!!

John,
I'm on here often enough during the week and during the day that I'm sure I can help out when most folks aren't around. I ran the old fishing forum on compuserve and curently moderate all of the sections on Noreast.com, so I have a pretty good idea of how to do it.

I'm on every day if you want to pick me, remember, I'm the Bomba who doesn't get in fights.
Well at least not on the computer.
Later,
Rick

John, I am no computer guru by any means (ok not even close) but if there is anything I can do to help, let me know.....

as said before John....I'll gladly help out....I'm on enough:hee:

lemmie at 'em,, where's that delete button :devil2:

I would love to help but I did it on another site and I have to say
I will never do it again, I am not a people person.

i'd be glad to help out, i spend hours on the computer playing poker and reading the site anyway

John,

I have only been on here about 1.25 years, work in the computer support field, love to fish and visit here often. I am starting a new job on 9/18, so that may limit what I can do during the day, but I am on here a lot at night, and if you need help I'd like to volunteer.

Pete

I'd be willing to vollunteer my time, or at least nominate Krispy for the job... :devil:

I second BigFish, how can anyone have that many posts and not be an admin?

What posistions are open ? like Grumpy old Farts ,, Capesams would be a shoe in .

i am more then willing to volunteer. you know my background in computers is pretty good. and i've been around for a couple years.. :)

I'm on this site all day at work anyways.....I'd be willing to help out if you need it.....just let me know

Me, me, me, pretty please.
Im FAIRLY level headed at times.......:shocked:
And Im on 24/7 LOL,, no life..

as said before John....I'll gladly help out....I'm on enough:hee:

Got my vote.. :kewl:

level headed good guy.. yep, that's Matt.

as said before John....I'll gladly help out....I'm on enough:hee:

OK....I will be a moderator!:hidin:





:bl: :rotfl: :biglaugh: :laugha: :bl2: :jester:

OK....I will be a moderator!:hidin:





:bl: :rotfl: :biglaugh: :laugha: :bl2: :jester:





You may want to re read Johns post on what makes a good moderator 1st big juy !!!:think: :laugha:
Not that I think I would be a good one either !!!

I would like to throw my hat into the ring, you know I do nothing at work but tie teasers and sit on S-B...
I wish my desk was 12' long so I could wrap rods, but sadly-it's not...

Me, me, me, pretty please.
Im FAIRLY level headed at times.......:shocked:

yeah but your begging . not good form . LOL

I could do it if I was here more or was levelheaded and had the attitude for peoples crap .

So give it to clammer ( mikey ) he likes everything

Clammer gets it. Everyone will need to learn F^^%%$$#$&U Clammer talk.

I'd be willing to vollunteer my time, or at least nominate Krispy for the job... :devil:

I second Krispy :hidin:

i'd do it.
on here enough.
Let me know.
Zac

that the new moderators...

would have to be non politically minded

enough not to take sides....and to just

put out the fire. also when a thread gets

moderated or say closed for what ever reason

and the member simply just starts another to

continue the slaughter they should get temporarilly

told to go home to cool off.

Always ready to help out also. Just let me know.

Is there a "smite" button or window? I could nuke a few now and then

:smash: :whackin: :wall: :behead: :devil: :gorez: :rocketem: :nailem: :fishslap: :liquify: :lossinit:

OK - getting a lot of suggestions, nominations, and volunteers - I think we'll get a list going and present some names... A few people have offered that are sponsors - We'll need to think about that - any thoughts of sponsors aslo being mods??

john, i usually check in on the site in the early morning after i get out of work. more than willing to help.

I for one, think the sponsors as moderators, is not a good idea, on a lot of different levels..
just my 2 cents, boss :D take it for what it's worth...

you always have the most interesting perspective....

i've often wondered....
how often a day ...does the moderator need to
monitor those that need moderating ?
..or actually be visiting S-B to be a candidate.

i'm here more than most....and also monitor threads
constantly via emails when i'm not logged on
but realize that real life issues.......
not "cyber life" interferes and sometimes changes
your whole schedual (of availability) altogether....

i must go in and out of S-B 50 times a day

Some basic computer skills - if you can type //$Blo:af:>:wall:> the same way twice :rotfl:



that eliminates me.....i cant type Bloous the same way twice :smash:

John, I would give it a shot. I don't really want to be involved in a popularity contest with other members though. I agree with Karl F, that sponsers shouldn't be involved even if they have contributed here long before they were sponsers.

Slingah -matt gets my vote, pretty calm dude.


I third Krispy's nomination :D

And I nominate CAl, he seems pretty level headed.

And I would like a clammer and #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& forum, so I dont have to search around for my daily dose of comedy. Anyone notice that f18 is actually starting to look like #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&? He's got the 'stache going and everything.. :heybaby:

I think that a Sponsor really should tread lightly not to ruin there business
not post alot and stay away from conflict. therefore they should really rethink the Mod job.

I elect Chis L.

I think NIB would make a fine mod :D

no sponsor moderators .. always be wondering where opion is coming from . Nib's cool ,,even though I hate him for not letting any decent fish past jersey .

I for one, think the sponsors as moderators, is not a good idea, on a lot of different levels..
just my 2 cents, boss :D take it for what it's worth...

Could not agree more.

:yak6: :yak5:

It would not be a good idea for sponsors to be moderators , I agree . If they had to step on a thread that involved another person in their line of work BOOM! Here comes the conflict of interest stuff and it's just a nightmare and not what the board should be about..which is how wonderful tins are and how everybody should be using them all the time. :rotf2:

Yeh - I don't think a sponsor would work out well as a mod - I just wanted to hear it from all of you :hihi:

with the title of this thread it looked like you want to start up a new brothel of sorts...pointer's and setter's.

Thanks Timber :wavey: . Although there's a handfull of guys already that Id' vote for before myself. I've started a few fires in the past :bl:

I nominate Vic. I can honestly say I've never met anyone with more enthusiasm or who gets more excited than him when talking about fishing.

Or for you - spinsters :rotfl: :laughs: :wiggle: :bl: :lasso: :wavey:

WTF,,,I want to be a mod..http://2ni2.com/emoticon/special/botando.gif

I nominate Vic. I can honestly say I've never met anyone with more enthusiasm or who gets more excited than him when talking about fishing.[/QUOTE]
I vote for Vic also. he's the only guy who calls me at 2:00 AM and says: "Where are you?" The sad thing is I usually answer the phone because I am out looking for fish.

I'll do it, i'm a "fair and balanced" kinda guy :hee: :rotf2:

I nominate Clammer, he's got a way with words,,,,:angel:

Hey John, I'm interested too!

I graciously accept your nomination.
Now take me to your DELETE button.
