You NEED more global coverage.

You know what. I have no interst in moderating this site anymore, but this site NEEDS moderators from outside the USA---like in different timezones.

Your members are dispursed throughout the globe, so it would be fitting if you had moderators following the sun too.

We have plenty of orgers in Europe, and quite a few in Australia.

Why are all the moderators in the US timezones?

The MLK--Happy N@gger Day thread(s) were posted at 5:38 AM California time, and as of right now (over 4 hours later), they are still up.

Seriously?

We need you guys to recruit more mods!

i dont think the problem is so much time zones as it is the small number of mods we have. i think the only ones really active are love4u, oldfriends, and langebleu.

there arent enough of them, and they cant be expected to be on all the time to cover the gaps.

i nominate 2elijah, lammastide, and rudedog. they are 3 of p&r's best, and have consistently shown themselves to be fair, level-headed, and wise.

LOL, hug, but no thanks cborgman. lol I appreciate that compliment wholeheartedly, but have no interest iat all, in being a moderator on this site. I do however agree with yor other choices, that maybe Lammastide and rudedog could be good moderators, and even 'babynoz', who I see 'fair and balanced', but for me, it would be too much of a headache to be a moderator on this site. But thanks smile

I've been invited to moderate a few times and I've always been too crazy busy to do it. I'm still crazy busy, but I'll at least humor the idea this time around. nutty

Who do I need to talk to? Somebody get at me.

That said, I'm an EST time zoner. So from a 24-hour coverage standpoint, I won't add a ton.

well, that being said, the threee offensive threads are still up and no mod in sight, so you've been here today more than them.

not that i blame the mods.

Thanks, but your intense promiscuity will cause this site to be shut down eventually.

We need global coverage. I agree with cborgman that there aren't enough moderators, but we need more Europeans and one or two Australians at least.

Also, throw in a conservative in P&R--there's no way bias can't creep in to moderating those discussions. The reason why I KNOW I'm not good for moderating P&R (among many other forums) is because I would want to bitchslap all the conservatives. And to me, slapping is first base, and that just needs to more promiscuity, lawd. Do you guys see what I'm saying up in here?

i'd have no problem with a conservative mod in p&r if we had a conservative that doesnt flip out. dauphin would have been a good mod, but he started wigging out lately.

you need someone calm, fair, and smart. lammas, babynoz, and rudedog all fill those qualities very nicely

Can we have another mod, other than luv4u respond to these threads? (not just mine).

I'd like to see what a mod who takes recommendation seriously has to say.

I too was very busy that at that time at work... I got the flags on my phone and stared in disbelief

I couldn't get online fast enough.

I totally agree that there should be mods from around the globe though.
