sportandmiah Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 My contract for moderating has ended, leaving me more time to build! I didn't have the time or patience be a good mod. Plus, my style of moderating didn't quite jive here. Good luck to the next mod, whoever that lucky soul shall be. Everyone else, get back to building...nothing to see here. I should lock this thread....nah. Peace
Dr. Cranky Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Doug, we'll miss ya. Have fun building and living life! Cheers, DC
Chuck Most Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Contract? Are you sure it's expired? There might be a snag or two hidden in that fine print...
mikemodeler Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I think it is good for a forum to rotate moderators,keeps it fresh and allows different views to be heard. I think it is also good for the moderators to keep from burning out or letting personal feelings or conflicts from doing their job in an unbiased manner.
george 53 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I totally agree Mike, Personal attitutes should be left at the door if it interferes with the proper functioning of the forum, so should personal hang ups.Moderators NEED to be impartial.
sportandmiah Posted May 29, 2012 Author Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Contract? Are you sure it's expired? There might be a snag or two hidden in that fine print... LOL...Yeah, expired...with a big asterisk. I always enjoyed creative writing in school. I think if I remained a mod any longer, I probably would have been assassinated.

Rob Hall Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 How does one apply to be a mod?? I don't know, but I suspect the hourly rate would be a bit low.

Harry P. Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Tis' Noble to stive for Modhood... But alas, It is a venture for the foolhearty! And worse off, lads.... NO DISCOUNT COUPONS! I didn't know it was even possible to stive for modhood. And it would be foolhardy to even try...
Darin Bastedo Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I want to be a Mod! I love the music, and the style, but make my Scooter a Lambretta, Vespas are so over done.
PatRedmond Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 How does one apply to be a mod?? Buy a revolver and all but one bullet. Play Russian roullette. It's easier.
sports850 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 How does one apply to be a mod?? I was a mod for many years on a car forum and I was there for the coming and going of several new mods , the first rule of mod selection was that anybody who asked to be a mod , didn't get the job . We would just watch other members and see how they behaved , how they interacted and resolved arguments with other forum members and also what sort of opinions they held on things . Modding is a hard job , no matter what you do or say someone will be offended with it for either being too heavy handed or not heavy handed enough (probably over the same event) . The one thing I will point out is that former mods need some form of extra vigilence from current mods as forums often work like school yards and people will hold grudges long after the event and will target ex mods when they no longer have modding abilities to defuse things .
Harold Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I have enough trouble moderating the voices in my head- I dare not to think what it would be like moderating this zoo...
sjordan2 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I want to be a Mod! I love the music, and the style, but make my Scooter a Lambretta, Vespas are so over done. You're dating yourself. And so am I by knowing what you're talking about. I wanted to be a Rocker.
Harry P. Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 How about combining the two and be a MOCKER! You're about 45 years too late...
george 53 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Really, it depends on HOW many people are on your forum.I mod a forum where there are a buncha nuts and we all get along GREAT! there's only 26 of us there and it's small enough where we are ALL freinds, and I don't EVER have to pull rank, or threaten or make remarks that are uncalled for. This place is TOO big to have attitudes towards people, regardless of WHO you are. The nasty little PM's are TOTALLY uncalled for. If you CAN'T handle it, there's NO NEED to have the job. Mods here can't afford to have attitudes, it brings the WHOLE forum down. An that's the truth!
Patrick2005 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I would like to be a mod. I really enjoy this place and would love to help more.
sportandmiah Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 I would like to be a mod. I really enjoy this place and would love to help more. If you value your insanity, don't do it.
XJ6 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 LOL...Yeah, expired...with a big asterisk. I always enjoyed creative writing in school. I think if I remained a mod any longer, I probably would have been assassinated. So did you learn anything being a Mod ? Would be interesting for you to share the experience with us all...you know the Likes and Dislikes...Yourself and Others.. Cheers Don.
