Forum Specific Moderator *All Please Read*

[jjwr]

After the revelation that I'm the only active Administrator on these boards I'm thinking of adding a forum specific moderator for this board to help things out.

A few names have already been tossed around, though I'm not sure who it will be or if it will actually happen. What I would like is if all the regular posters here could write a quick note on this message as to how often they visit this board and roughly how long they've been here.

What I'm looking for is someone who is around this board often and who has been a visitor here for a while.

Thanks!

[Ice Fox]

Sorry. just read your reply in the feedback forum.

[Grand Adm Thrawn]

well i been here for about 8 months visit this forum offten everyday

i just want to fix all my roleplaying threads and what not

[Figrin D an]

Well, I'll start this off...

I've been around for over a year now. I was part of the first group of posters on this board.
I'm online for most of the day, both at work and at home. (Log on about 7am CST, go offline about 11:30pm CST) I usually post in the evenings at home, but I do monitor the forums and post occasionally during the day.

[Itala Marzullo]

Been here for almost a year now, but i know I am way too trustworthy, hehehe, nahh, I'd have the chance to delete sigs in my thread to actualy be able to load them, but that's me.

[Dae Jinn]

haven't been here that long, and already stirred up trouble...heh, heh, heh....only come in when i have to, so don't pick me! :lol:

[jjwr]

What we're basically looking for is someone to keep the place in order. Help with deleting sigs in threads, warning users for bad language, trolling, sexual content, etc. In the case of warning people we'd request that the mod post something in the feedback forum so we could look into a possible banning if it was needed. Stuff like that.

[verse dawnstrider]

I've been here a few months. I come on every night. around 8:00-10:00 eastern Time

[RHJediKnight]

Well, I've been here for quite a while, since May 1999, way back around when TPM came out. I'm online for the majority of the day after I get home at 2 PM ET, and I visit this forum a few times just about each day.

[auriga]

I've been here off and on since September 99, my login times vary, this summer I'll have a lot of free time too

[Master Yoghurt]

Another thing a moderator should do, is moving memorable threads to a future archive forum. Hopefully, such forum will be opened quick, because once a thread reaches 21 pages, it is automatically deleted, and never to be read again. Meanwhile, may I recommend that important thread, like roleplay threads that reach page 19 is replied TTT.

I have some experience moderating/administrating boards, so my name will be tossed into the hat. I have been here on regulary basis even before this forum started and check the threads several times a day, posting at various times during a period of around 8 am EST - 10 pm EST.

When there is a signature problem people have, I will be glad to help and point out the problem, or edit it out.

[Bounty Hunter Dreyas]

I promote DT. He is a very respected person on both sides.

[Darth Turbogeek]

I've been at swfans since the beginning. I monitor the board for roughly 10 hours and I usually have ICQ open for more. Usually avialible for 16-18 hours, depending on what I am working on

[Master Yoghurt]

No offense, but Dreyas illustrates well a good reason for having this thread.. :)

[Bounty Hunter Dreyas]

I am not suggesting me do anything because I do not feel I am worthy, but I think y'all basically need acouple, not just one or two, more like five so messages can be edited and fixed day long because someone might post something offensive at 9:00 am eastern and then it would be another 4 hours until it was 9 somewhere else. One person in everyother time zone or something (Just an Idea) Sorry 'bout that sig...I was playing with it at 1:00am and y'all know you aren't very alert at that time. (No Offense taken)

[JediBoricua]

I've been here since the week before TPM opened. I come here everyday mostly from 8pm EST to midnight.

[jjwr]

There are definetly some worthy candidates in this thread. As Yoghurt mentioned a Archive forum will be set up at some point to keep the more memorable threads alive.

DT I thought you were gone from these boards?

[Darth Turbogeek]

In most ways yes I am. I dont post with anywhere near the frequency I used to and I have withdrawn from roleplaying

I do however still outta habit have one browser screen open having a look over the BG. Just old habit I guess :). The only two sites I now even look at are the BG and the Jedi Council, I truly have withdrawn from all other sites, anywhere else. Dunno, this place is like a drug. I'm a junkie and I need more :)

No, if you want me to moderate, I can do so when I am at work.

[jjwr]

Its a possibility. THough I was looking for one of the roleplayers, but then the whole issue of having a mod who's a Jedi/Sith might pop up, so a 3rd party Mod may not be a bad idea.

[Lady Mara Jade]

I've been here since Aug of 1999, I would suggest myself however I'm not sure if I'm here enough during the day. I work 7:30 AM until 5:00 PM PST Mon-Fri.

[Atreyu]

The issue of whther the mod is a Jedi, Sith, Imperial or whatever shouldn't arise. A mod is being appointed to moderate, nothing more. If a mod is revealed to favour their side over all the others when they moderate then they shouldn't be a moderator. I can't see that happening though. Last year the 3 mods were myself, jjwr and CMJ - all Jedi, and there were no problems.

[Lady Mara Jade]

Agreed. The Sith had no real problem with the jedi mods. Everything ran smoothly.

[The Lounge Lizard]

I had previously said that I would put my name in the hat for moderator. I'd now like to withdraw my name. I'm sick of the decisions and politics that have to be made, and I fear that this would interfere in my roleplaying.

[Bounty Hunter Dreyas]

Whether or not y'all get someone to change posts around, y'all need to save old threads instead of doing these little things. We've lost all the Son of Turbogeeks to my knowledge and lost a good bit of the battles too. I think we gotta do something with all these people making useless posts that destroy old posts.

[ReaperFett]

The SOT thread part one is saved. I posted on it when it was at the very bottom of 20. 2 is about 3 pages back

[Atreyu]

They intend to set up an archive forum like Replica Props has so those kind of threads can be saved. The new mods will be able to help moving threads to the archive forum as well.

Well it's been around 4 days since jjwr originally asked. Is this enough feedback to make a decision, or do we still need more?

[Darth Turbogeek]

Should be plenty of time. Decide away.

[ReaperFett]

Have you noticed how quickly threads are going now? I read 2 months ago the threads I read before joining. It was one where a Sith attacked the Jedi in a tank, and was attacked by some Ewoks, who were fried, and one which ended with stormies attacking. Now There is only about a month of threads

[Atreyu]

Main reason is because the forum population has more than doubled (maybe even tripled) in the past 6 months so there's more traffic. Also people these days seem to be posting more and more new threads - unlike in the old days when a thread would be used somwtimes for as long as a whole month before a new one as setup.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Yes, that's true. I've almost lost track of the new additions. We seem to be picking them up from the chats I think. Better, we also seem to be keeping people as well.
