Looking for new moderator

[ignatus]

Like I'm trying to do ?

You really are a lost cause, & don't worry Steve won't be stupid enough to make you a mod 

If Skakus & Superman could post here to say if they were being sarcastic or not, I'd greatly appreciate it 

As for you Ignatus, you finally get your wish, I'm totally & utterly washing my hands of you.

whatever....

I'm looking for 2 more moderators. Any takers or nominations?

You will need to be reasonably active on the forum (at least reading it), and be fair. The rules of the forum are very simple.

It would be nice if there were an incentive with the job.
Something like a $20 bonus chip at the casino of choice.

to be serious though i would say Ausguy and Ddarko

thank you for thinking of me Iggiv  but I must say no.

Health issues dictate I just couldn't guarantee the time required to commit.

Plus, ignatus would pull his face EVERYTIME I asked him to post in the notepad instead of the actual forum.

He would accuse me of persecuting him, and it would get even more ridiculous than it is now

I would say Ausguy and Chris555p

Ignatus, ddarko is correct, I was kidding mate and I am sure skakus was too, but in no way to insult or belittle you, I like you, you make me wince AND laugh sometimes, may the grass force be with you 

Something, where Ignatus made yet another method thread, that made me laugh a few days ago was when someone asked what the trigger was and skakus made his reply, too funny!

How about the new chaps Lee and RichBailey86?

Steve mentioned that nobody stepped up to the plate.  I think he is more interested in volunteers than sacrificial goats.  I'm quite active reading, although not an insatiable poster.  I'm as saddened by some of the personal attacks that slip in here as anyone, as I think it stifles creativity and injures our community.  Should any of those mentioned not be able or willing, I would be more than happy to lend my time and efforts.  I'm my own boss now and have nothing but time!

Ok Colbster, I had a look through your past posts and you seem to be a stable and level-headed person so I assigned you moderator permissions. Thanks for your assistance. The forum rules are at link:://:.rouletteforum.cc/index.php?topic=9426.0 and I added a part to assist moderators, as below:


1. Your job is simply to enforce the basic rules above, without bias.

2. Expect that you may sometimes be the target of attacks. Don't take it personally. You can't keep everyone happy at the same time.

3. Do not moderate other moderators. If another moderator does something inappropriate, let me know, and please give actual examples.

4. Be very careful about what posts moderate. You need to find the balance between allowing free speech, and something that's over the line. People get very upset when you moderate their posts, so this is only a step you take if something is clearly inappropriate.

5. If you are unsure of what to do in particular cases, please ask me directly.

6. Become familiar with how the forum's moderation features are used. The last thing we want is to completely mess up the forum. There are regular backups, but we'd rather avoid disasters.

Also there have been other names mentioned of which I feel are a good match too, but some have declined. The position is still open. Whoever does the job needs to actually want it. None of it is difficult. If anything you will just occasionally get people on your case about decisions you made.

Colbster is good 

[MrJ]

Good choice, welcome aboard.

[Chris555p]

Great choice

[Colbster]

Thanks, fellas.  I'm looking forward to, well, pretty much doing what I already do.  Reading your masterworks and occasionally coming up with my own scatterbrained ideas.
