Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hey, congrats Marc. You're definitely one of the top posters here (and not just regarding post-count), so this seems very fitting. I'm not used to taking orders from someone younger than me, though... Neil, you'll be missed as a moderator, but I'm really glad you're sticking around. Hopefully you'll now have more time now for the "real world."

King Mark 3,631 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I think there should be co-moderators.Me,Stefancos and Roald.Mr Breathmask has not been here as long as we have.I for one ,would institute random weekly bannings,to keep everyone on their toes.Starting a thread with the name Howard Shore or Patrick Doyle in it would mean a one year suspension from the board.Prequel haters would have a different section of the board to discuss their views.In order to keep your posting privileges,you would have to make a monthly cash donation deposited directly in my bank account.And once a year,in a great religious ceremony,a human sacrifice of a board member will be made in my honor.K.M.overlooked again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melange 446 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 The answer to this - "Have to resign because too busy" problem, was quite obvious really and would have prevented any need for resignations. Answer = Have two or three Moderators. I'm a Moderator on an net forum, along with about 4 others. That way, different mods in different parts of the world can keep things observed while one part of the world sleeps, or if a Mod can't make it in to check his run for any reason then the whole thing wont be unattended. Every mod has to report whatever action they take, to a private admin room hidden to ordinary members. That makes sure that any Moderator power abuses, do get questioned by somebody. A great system. Although it may "sound" complicated, infact it makes things much easier for everybody as the work is spread out over several people and a Mod can easily take a few days off in the knowledge that the other 3 will keep it in line, just by letting the others know. I have to say that it always amazed me that Jwfan.net only had "one" Moderator for such a busy board. Asking one man alone to take care of reading "every" post several times a day, is no doubt going to take up a lot of his time and attention unnescessarily when it can be spread out amongst others. Why doesn't Jwfan do the same? Just a suggestion. Mind you, Stefancos would soon do a "Godfather" style assasination evening of other Mods. Lots of Piano wire. Hit men taking out Justin while he's having a shave at the hairdressers. Soon Stefancos would assume supreme totalitarian power.Melange - Wonders if there is a mausoleum of preserved "ex-Mods" ?

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 One thing though:I would like to remind you all that there is an edit button, and that we don't need a whole lot of consecutive posts by the same user within a short period (even if it's just two short messages). I will be merging consecutive posts by the same user in the same thread made within a short amount of time. It would be convenient though if I didn't have to, so if you've posted something and come up with something else you wanted to add, use the edit button.Multiple infractions may result in a one-week ban.Thanks in advance- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
