Re: Additions and changes to our Mod team

Julie I think all I see on this forum is name calling. Out them if that is the case.

Acerbic wit is different

I have noticed most members on this very important decision are just that too nice and frightened to offend another member.

I'm not going to but you have to admit some nominees are not going to be able to do the job with an even hand. I've said several times as has azz it has to be people able to treat everyone equally.

Re: Additions and changes to our Mod team

It's a tough role to fill Julie.
Azz has set quite high standards too. Anyone who is a mod has, ideally, to quash their own opinion and be able to see all sides.
That's why on some forums they're fondly known as Janus, God of Doors and Gateways with two faces .. and they need them to look both ways at once and manage to speak with forked tongue out of one side of their face whilst the other is still posting as an ordinary member.

No insult to any Mods, past present and future intended.

Indeed but I'm sure we can fill the posts with people everyone can agree on, although ten is a high number to find I grant you.

Why this choice. None are attached to any of the members on site. So do not run with the crowd not the hare and the hounds brigade. Or attached to friends.

Very direct views and have their own opinions but I have seen impartiality too. Not over cautious to fit in with the crowd or admin.

Pum excellent for EU threads as he is not affected by the issues or self absorbed by them

Also why not a member from a different part of the world. A different time zone to cover the night slots.
Goldielocks, I am a little surprised by your selections as Pumicestone seems to have been removed from our members list, which indicates that he has chosen to leave or been banned.

Malcolm hardly posts on here any more so I don't understand how you can judge him so well, apart from the fact that you told me you were moving to another forum, a few days ago..and it was Malcolm's own forum that you moved to.

I don't know how Galty feels about being a mod, but I do know he has strong opinions on some things so, like the rest of us, he may be unable to meet the specifications that Azz has mentioned... but that would be between Azz and himself.

I am sure all the members on here are just hoping to get moderation to the same level as Meg and Mags have provided..... as they will be the new mod's supervisor!
Not sure how Pummy and Malcolm would feel about being supervised by a woman.

I agree with that Morti.

Diplomacy as well. How you respond to members if you received a report.

I also think customer service skills. Update those skills regularly.

Are there indeed such courses for mods.

It is indeed a hard job but all it really needs is a good dose of common sense.
