The who should be Mod and Mod Issues Thread

[spookyturtle 9,465]

Decisions decisions. To be politically correct, maybe a gay, black, Muslim from Guatemala? Or a gun luvin' female dominatrix who is anti abortion and a practicing Buddhist? Or an anti gun atheist liberal eunuch? How about a transexual from a mixed race and ethnic background who isn't sure if they are pro or anti gun?

Speaking to my inner hateful-conservative.

I figured you couldn't get much more opposites than Gary and MBD.

You know so many diverse people!

We must think outside the box. Diversity is key, that's what makes the US what it is.

oh - thats easy -

have pointed moderation here for CEHST

and only here for CEHST

due to a relaxation of the ToS for CEHST.

(I hope you all not forget that one bit)

That is what doesn't make sense. Why not instead, create a Fabook page where all those who wish to see a relaxation of TOS can meet, post and anything goes?

I think it is an unreasonable request to demand that special accommodations and resources be made avaiable to a few who think they are above the TOS of a private forum.

All joking aside, I think there are a few good choices from the CE group. Personally, I'm not sure if we need another or a dedicated mod here as things seem to be going fairly well for the most part with the self policing of the over the top comments. I think BJ would be a good choice as would G&D. And I really think that Marvin or NB could do the job too. I believe that they could put the past aside and not hold grudges, etc. I think NB has really stepped up his game the past several weeks as things were being shaken up here. He was a proponent for bringing Penny and Danno back. He also gave a few shout outs to MBD during their mysterious period of not interacting with one another. I also think that Marvin is quite level headed and a genuine nice guy. I'm a people person, I like friendly, genuine people. I don't think there is one regular user in the CE forum who has not shown bias at one time or another. As far as I know, most here are human, although I have my doubts about a few.

My vote would be for Marvin, but I'm a pleb.

Which is to say that we really don't need a special padded room, which is precisely what is being proposed with a special room & TOS. A short bus by any other name...

Marvin is a fair poster and respectful to all. In addition he also posts in the upper forums, so it's not like he is a freeloader. Edited June 13, 2014 by Gegel

I understand your POV on this - as I was thinking - what does the reverse look like?

I've managed many portals over the years and tbh - I would not want this gig at all based on the pay.

BS. Marvin is just another imaginary schlub on the internet, just like you & I. Any claim to "color" or "privilege" is equally BS. Make your point; defend your standpoint. The rest is ASCII noise.

I think I heard that Marvin is secretly a white female from Pokipsie, and he gets his photos off other people's Facebook pages. Seriously though, +1 response!

I hear you. I moderated a forum for a couple of years and there were days when I wish I could nuke everyone into cyberspace oblivion.

[Darnell 8,478]

when i first joined this lovely web portal - many things got by - unfiltered and folk wrote here in unfiltered mode. those days are past - no one will be unfiltered here anymore (unless of course a private area is opened up for that exact purpose)

Thanks for your support.

Don't give away my secret:)

You made the Poughkeepsie Tapes, didn't you?

I knew it.

Aww shucks, you done found me out

I cast my vote for Mr. Big Dog.

ROFl, as crazy as it sounds he might not be bad. We are like sworn foes, and he is a smelly commie american hating pinko commie, but he does seem to have the man gene.

also

He usually does not engage in the girly men games and does seem to have a low tolerance for BS. I suspect much like me, his downfall might be his fellow mods
