One last thing before I head off to beddie bye.......

[SportsFan68]

If sprots is elected, I think ES should be appointed to counterbalance her moderation.

My fellow Ameri . . . oops, I mean

My fellow Boreders --

If elected, I pledge to keep ES out of Colorado!

(((((((YAY, WILD APPLAUSE, SCREAMING, AND SO ON)))))))))

You are so funny sometimes. I know LB's password, so I can out-administrate and moderate anything you would try to do to me....

But maybe, just maybe I could use my influence to get you the position. You know what the cost will be my dear sweet Sprotsie...

Nice try, rodent. It ain't happening.

Not now.

Not ever.

NEVER!!!

[SportsFan68]

Ummmm

no




but I think Sprots would make an excellent moderator. She could undo.

I would, too.

I thought the whole push was for less moderation, not more.

Yes, I know, this board has practically no moderation as it is (and I've said numerous times that I don't have a problem with Spoilergate), but adding moderators to combat the moderators doesn't really seem like a good idea.

I agree. We need fewer moderators, not more.

I was kidding when I said

I would, too.

That's what I get for trying to be funny using a rather than a .

You could be one of those who moderate the other moderators, checking over that secret list of posts that have been moderated and bringing any that have not been publicly identified to the Bored's attention.

I would not complain if we had fewer moderators.

Especially if we had fewer BobModerators.

What is that name for the people who police the police? I forget.

Internal Affairs!

I am perusing the Moderator Log at this very moment.

It is quite interesting.....

What i find most surprising though is that there is Admin stuff there that has no business being in the Moderator log (Like me & Dave's attempts to ban some IP's after the spam attacks last week)....

So long as IA peeps can can bad Moderator Peeps.

The double can is on purpose.

Can I have the title without actually having to do any work?

The Moderator Log is unfortunately about as vague as mini usually is. It's hard to impossible to tell what what actually done to a post that was edited, and in some cases you can't even tell what post it is saying was edited....

The entry for Bob's editing of Millionaire Fan's post looks exactly the same as my entry for unstickying the LS post of one of my Merry Men.....

Still a few entries that have me scratching my head wondering what they were about.....

You just need to can bad Moderators, after investigating if they were bad or not, using some to be determined criteria.

Wouldn't that make you MIA from the job of being our MIA?

No, I think this makes sense. You object to moderation, so you wouldn't be corrupted by having all that moderator power, and you'd be motivated to keep an eye on the other moderators.

And, yes, drag them out for a public tar-and-feathering if they do anything that meets with your disapproval.

I like it as well.

Maybe forgive all the past nonsense they have done and start with a clean slate.

[peacock2121]

It would prevent them from being sneaky, just cuz they can.

Like we have a way of preventing another Booch thingie happening, because they can/will get caught.

[SportsFan68]

I tried to register SportsFan68 - MIA and forgot that it needed moderator approval, so I tried to register SportsFan68-MIA.

Whoever's approving, if you see this, please approve only the second one.

Thanks!

I don't think you need to create a new screen name; we just have to have Dave grant you Moderator status in this forum (to go with your FNGD Moderator status). And he can add the "MIA" to your title.

It's an MM thing. She said she really didn't want to BE a moderator, just play one on TV....

[BigDrawMan]

the board needs by-laws, and a committee representative of its members must be assembled at once to write them.
a Declaration of our principles as it were.Once they are written, a popular vote will be taken.When this outline is agreed to, then a thorough explanation of each moderators duties and powers can be codified.

to wit:

I. moderator of porn
A.visual porn
1..soft core
2.hard core
B.written porn(seperate moderator).

II.spoiler moderator.
A.Bam Spoiler moderator
1.spoilers seen from studio audience
2.spoilers taken from bam web site
B.Idol Spoiler moderator
1.idol news taken from idol web sites
2.idol news heard on the ryan seacrest show

also an if/then flow chart can be made to help each moderator/submoderator/moderator overseer act on posts which may be objectionable.

ie

IF pictures of "thingies" are posted, THEN I will do...

also this can be broken down further into "real" and "fake" thingies.

as we are a far flung lot, what may be objectionable to texans may be ok with new yorkers, so we can have regional moderators who reflect the local tastes.


I am sure we all can agree that more rules will make this board work better.

Novel concept: how about we just leave everything the way it is, now knowing what the moderators are capable of doing, and knowing the other moderators are capable of seeing what they are doing? If they find evidence of abuse of power, boot them. But otherwise, adding more moderation makes things worse and not better.

The 'they' is where I go south. I do not want the Bobs to judge unnecessary use (I do not think anyone has nor have I accused anyone of abuse) of power. They are guilty of that in my eyes. All the other ones, fine with me.

I do like giving sprots the job, mostly cuz I know her and know she has the same boundaries and such as me. It will also make her feel good, which I like as well. She will also 'be on the look out', while I am not so sure any of the current ones will be. Although, maybe lb will be, given whatever he has discovered today.

LB has edited far more posts than anyone else. Most of what I've done has been to delete accidental duplicates.

I'm not gonna pitch a fit about it, but I like my accidental duplicates (with a very rare occurrence rate, I hasten to add). Cuts down on my on-purpose duplicates.

Maybe that's just me and and my post-padding proclivities.

[minimetoo26]

The current guys were given the job because they were the ones actively attempting to set up communities for us when we were homeless. If this place hadn't been set up, we may have been posting on THEIR boreds and they would have been the supreme arbiters of all posts. We've been chugging along for over a year with very little incident, and now I would think it's sufficient for them to know We Are Watching More Closely.

If incidents continue, then the moderator purge would be warranted. I suppose if I wanted to pick my moderators, I'd start my own bored. I posted here knowing who was able to look at my IP and change my posts and other stuff and will continue to do so. But that's just me.
