Glory Bound Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 OK...we're supposed to talk on here like we're talking to someone much bigger than us...but I really don't talk to my mother-in-law.
lets_go_bills Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Given the changes in many of our schedules and the sheer volume of posts we get every day - it is clear we need more moderation help. This is your opportunity to stop complaining about tone of the board and to actively help us steer the discussion to more friendlier territory. With that said, we are looking for 3-5 new mods who are regular visitors and who want to help make this a better place. No special computer skills needed. It is possible not all volunteers will be accepted. Please do not take offense if you volunteer and are not chosen. We appreciate the offer though... So who is ready to step up? I'd like to volunteer to help out. Love the Bills, love the board.
EC-Bills Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 indeed...Anton Chigurh. (look it up dummies) Anton is one scary dude Ok, we added 6 new Global Moderators. There are a few more I wanted to add, but I want to wait and see if this is enough. We had a tremendous response in this thread and by PM... The new mods are: Jack Beerball BuffaloBill Chandler#81 bartshan-83 Sisyphean Bills I could have easily added another 10, but decided to stop there for now. Hopefully this will give us a more active presence where if the tone is always set - then others can follow. We will have more guidelines to follow, so that everyone will know what is and what is no longer acceptable. Although not set in stone - the basic rule will be somewhat along the lines of - "Write your response like you are talking face to face to someone MUCH bigger than you." More to come... I am willing to help out if you need more folks.
Beerball Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 welcome to the machine. Do I need extra schoolin to learn this moderation thing?
BuffaloBill Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Do I need extra schoolin to learn this moderation thing? The general consensus is that you need "schoolin" for more than just moderating. Though it is acknowledged that you know all things about the art of cooking protein with either coals, flame or smoke.

I would volunteer also. I'm here daily so why not.
Chandler#81 Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Who got picked? Your FBI back ground check should be completed soon. Just went through that for work. Wonder if it's a coincidence. I'm honored. I'll do my best.
nobody Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) I guess since I didn't see this thread until today doesn't give you too much confidence that I would make a good moderator. Edited November 27, 2010 by nobody
