I would very much like to be a mod, but I may not qualify. I can abide by the first two qualifications quite easily and most of the third. The one issue is how we define personal attacks. Are we going to consider name calling a personal attack? I can't help but call a dimwit a dimwit. If that excludes me then I understand. I agree that getting banned should be rare. In fact, the only thing I can think of that should result in an automatic ban is posting people's personal information. Threatening another poster would be another situation worthy of discussing a ban. Attacking someone's character, name calling, etc. while not characteristics worthy of admiration they are not worthy of a ban imho. Also, if I'm too polarizing too put as a mod, I understand that too. If I were to nominate three mods, I would pick Snark, Lucid (if he comes here), and Vtwinn(also would need to sign up here).

Not sure I'd up to the task, either, but I will say that anyone who wants it too badly probably should'nt be allowed. I could see a lot of petty tyrants just itching to censor everything they didn't agree with. To be absolutly fair to everyone, may I suggest one Lib, one Con & for the sake of objectivity, one or two people who simply don't give a s**t, lol.

► We don’t need a moderator, unless there's a threat recorded, and everyone will know about that.

Again, thanks to Fox ... Nolax and now, Bob ... for their service as 'babysitters' of this board ... I think they will know when a scolding is in order, but don't expect any bonuses,

I normally would have been okay with chek as a mod, but after her tirade against AquaO and myself the first day here I have to question the choice. It was a completely uncalled for flurry of f-bombs. Just my 0.02.

Sorry but you all have me all wrong. I'm neither Republican, Democrat, Con, Lib, left, right, in between, far or near. I don't believe in organized religion, in fact I detest it as just another tool to keep the sheep in line, just like government and I don't believe in mythical beings (such as a god). I dance to my own beat and haven't participated in group-think mentality for a couple of decades now.

I try to be respectful of Annie who's almost as old as my mom but she and I don't operate on the same wavelength. Then again my mom loves me but thinks I'm off the wall too, she's from the old school (pardon the pun).

Just my 0.02. That meltdown yesterday was really strange. Especially considering all the personal abuse she took in stride on the Yahoo board by Snuff and others for so long. And no one was even talking about her. Talk about attacking people personally, she did it yesterday.

Thank you Chek for helping out ....
I knew as I saw the membership growing, it was going to
need more mods ... and no matter what, I think you can do it fairly.
Good luck to all mods!!
