The who should be Mod and Mod Issues Thread

[SMOKE 1,426]

We don't need a new mod. Things have been working well the past few weeks.

I agree.

Hey, you can't expect women who grow up around ads like this to turn around and agree to having dark brown children.

These creams are more to do with preventing ageing spots which are more prevalent on Asian skins. They are best sellers here in Japan but not because people want to be white per se. They just want to look young.

Where's the black people on this list? Racism.

we had the sheriff a couple years ago. he was run out of town by some here.

In fact, this whole discussion begs the question as to why there would be a need for a dedicated moderator, for this corner of the forum... Why is it that the existing TOS all of a sudden no longer seem to fit? Come think of it, this corner only provides space for a little bit of inconsequential banter, inside the larger forum which is aimed to assist others in their immigration journey. What is the justification for a dedicated person to manage such a innocuous space?

Given that the TOS here should be no different than those anywhere else, we can safely say Harpa would make a good moderator, for she navigates both this playground and the real informative forum with unique aplomb.

If anything we should strive for this corner to be more civil, like the rest, not the other way around.

I can see that. When I went back to the beginning(I think ) of this forum, some of the stuff was pretty bad.

I would tend to agree as well.

The main thing from all of this is that the upper mods have decided to be less heavy handed down here right?

That was the only reason I nuked my original account.

That was right around a year ago wasn't it?

[mota bhai 2,675]

No one's offering you the job. I'm just saying you'd do a fine job.

[Jacque67 7,328]

NB 69?? What's that about?

[mota bhai 2,675]

It means he's one more post in this thread away from 70.
