…all put a lot of hours in. I think if a new mod is needed it would have to be someone who uses the org a lot.


smile True, it's useful if a mod can devote a lot of time to the site. But moderating also requires:

(a) Being thick skinned - your moderation decisions WILL piss people off at times and you'll meet all kinds of lunatics who'll threaten you and harrass you.

(b) Ability to make awkward decisions, unpopular decisions. Sometimes you might have to deal harshly with people you like, and sometimes you have to be helpful with people you dislike. Sometimes being truly fair and even-handed means sacrificing your popularity and reputation (not that this applies to me, I've always been a pain razz)

(c) Few "allegiances" - this means that people who have "org enemies" and long-running bitter feuds with other individuals here are not very suitable for moderating because they can't be expected to deal with everyone fairly. Several people on your list there wouldn't be suitable IMO, for that very reason.

Anyone can do it, it just takes time and effort. Some of the people mentioned in this thread are just far too nice though, I wouldn't wish it upon them smile smile



Sounds just like church to me...I would be an expert.

This has turned into a popularity contest. No offense, but I don't think many of the people mentioned would be good moderators.

I myself would vote for 2the9s (seriously eek) though I don't know if he would take the position. Teller and Moonbeam would be cool, too...
I mean, like, where is the sun?

teller and 2the9s have too much baggage with certain other orgers to be acceptable moderators. i mean nothing personal by it, of course, as i like them both, but i don't see their situation as being any better than some of the others mentioned.


Moonbeam, though... nod

smile True, it's useful if a mod can devote a lot of time to the site. But moderating also requires:

Sometimes being truly fair and even-handed means sacrificing your popularity and reputation (not that this applies to me, I've always been a pain razz)

Several people on your list there wouldn't be suitable IMO, for that very reason.

Anyone can do it, it just takes time and effort. Some of the people mentioned in this thread are just far too nice though, I wouldn't wish it upon them smile smile


I give credit to anyone who can be a moderator on ANY website. I wouldn't want the job, personally, so I'm glad there are folks who are "willing to do the work."
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

hmmm I guess that's the everyday stuff U have to deal with right. What goes on behind the scenes. Does it take the fun out of orging, knowing all the shit that's going on?


Ahhh... yeah definitely, sometimes. However I personally still very much enjoy the Org - there's enough nice people here, and enough fun threads to post on, that it still holds my interest. I've tried to continue posting regularly as "myself" too. There'd be no point in putting so much effort into running the site if we didn't have any chance to enjoy the fruits of our labour smile


I like it when the moderators join us in the chatroom. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's nice. smile
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Thats why its a forum! I can't believe you can talk about Prince's poor writing skills but say he wipes his ass with N.E.W.S. and it gets locked. Locking threads is for pussies. If two orgers go at it..maybe you should step in. If you are talking shit about Prince and it gets locked, that is total bullshit. Praise him and critisize him, its only human. Locked threads suck my nuts. (period)

I wouldn't say have the things I say to Prince's face. What does that have to do with anything. Tell him my favorite sexual position? What I think about the new Joss Stone cd? What I think about Patti Labelle? What we say in the forum, STAYS IN THE FORUM. Locking is censorship!

You don't think ian does, though? (sorry, ian.) I think both teller and 9s could be objective and unbiased despite their beef with other orgers.

point taken but if i were a Moderator & some1 comes out & sez "Fuk U' i'm go lookin' 4 they ass & ask them 2 say it 2 my Face & they should xpect a BeatDown. people go 2 far sometimes & that ish needs 2 b check'd. there's nothing wrong with constructive critisism & giving a valid reason as 2 y u don't like this or that & this is being WRITTEN not said so u can't tell about the BodyLanguage or any particual glances of sorts.

4 xample: Chaos&DisOrder is NOT 1 of my favorite P albums becuz i know P was tryin' 2 get out of his Agreement with WB. i own the CD but i rarely listen 2 it.

i wouldn't call it CRAP but it's NOT i say again "My Favorite Album". & couldn't u just leave it at that?

what needs 2 b Moderated r the people who r KNOWN 2 say ignorent crap that goes far beyond just a simple oppinion.


CensorShip is sometimes needed... Freedom Of Speech or not.
