thebug Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 SDS you need to seriously consider Crayonz. He could then do away with all those pesky Canadians.

SDS Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 Thanks for stepping up everyone. We have a pretty good list to sort through. Maybe we go with more five... Might as well show up to a knife fight with Tomahawk cruise missile.

zonabb Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 More mods won't solve the problem, it'll take them away from contributing as much as they do. Find the top 100 or 150 posters, by whatever variables that is, and start a separate invite-only board with those people and let it grow into the place this place can never be. Have one board where those who aren't going to flame, be snippy, act like idiots and generally be a menace, can go and have legit discussions. Any discursive attitudes you get cut out. There is a Red Sox board just like it for just the same reason. The attitudes here have spoiled my own attitude and how I respond!
95altima12 Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Geez do we really need another "Step up or shut up" thread! Can we get a mod to close this thread and ban the poster while we are at it!!!!!!!
Just Jack Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Geez do we really need another "Step up or shut up" thread! Can we get a mod to close this thread and ban the poster while we are at it!!!!!!! If choosen, my first act as a mod will be to put 95altima on double secret probation for his previous comment
Numark Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I'll volunteer as well, I have been a moderator on a few forums with more than a few thousand members.
rockpile Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thanks!" to all the volunteers who moderate this chaotic group of forums. A tip of the "Hatlo Hat" to you all.

I understand your frustration, zonabb, but who chooses the top 100-150 posters? Since this is a public forum, with rules and moderators and banishment, as a last resort, the best thing I have learned to do is just ignore the idiots. They THRIVE on ticking you off anyway. After a while, it is background noise if you do not let it bother you. Yahoo and others have ways to set up your own invitation only groups, if you need to go that route. I prefer to 'separate the wheat from the chaff' myself right here! Never let someone's poor attitude spoil yours.
Clippers of Nfl Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) you could have just sent me an email. i have to decline at this time anyway. i still have to train my puppy BILL how to heel first. j/k as many posts from just jack and promo... i thought they were already mods.

Ramius Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Thanks for stepping up everyone. We have a pretty good list to sort through. Maybe we go with more five... Might as well show up to a knife fight with Tomahawk cruise missile. I'd volunteer, but i'm a firm believer in less five myself.
Pilsner Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I would just like to say thank you to all the current and future mods. I think we're in good hands considering the number and quality of posters who volunteered.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 I'll straighten these rat bastards out.
Bill from NYC Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 I don't think for a second that you would want me to do it, but I would be willing to. My pet peeve is posts about family members of another poster.
Virgil Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 If you vote for me as MOD, I promise to make sure that everyone gets a fair portion of Tots in the lunch line. If you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true.
Cynical Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 More mods won't solve the problem, it'll take them away from contributing as much as they do. Actually, that's a reason why you would want more mods. Find the top 100 or 150 posters, by whatever variables that is, and start a separate invite-only board with those people and let it grow into the place this place can never be. Have one board where those who aren't going to flame, be snippy, act like idiots and generally be a menace, can go and have legit discussions. Any discursive attitudes you get cut out. There is a Red Sox board just like it for just the same reason. The attitudes here have spoiled my own attitude and how I respond! I frequent an Alabama board that is free, open to the public, and heavily moderated. Insults and discourse are not tolerated, even slightly. Yes, the mods can be heavy handed, but I can disagree with a poster and not worry about being called a 'moron', 'idiot', etc... because I do not agree with their opinion.
