    It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside to see the Mod Squad updates come out on Sunday night. :) *sigh*

    Nice Update, but I hope mindless ramblings of mods won't permanently replace misquotes. :(

    now that the modsquad update has come out, I can unveil this week's manual sig...

    Given the huge amounts of time Missninfan spent moderating these forums, her departure will surely be missed.

    With Oaksstevedude leaving and Missninfan stepping down due to her spending even less time here, now is the time to try out jediguy's keen idea of users nominating candidates for moderator. Power to the people.


    RAISE THE ROOF!

    Discussions are continuing on the possibility of members being able to give nominations for moderators. Details are still being hammered out with no firm system yet developed.



    I think that's a no, Otter.

    "Well with each week going by I like these updates more. A popular vote for TPM moderator, im poppular and I visit the TPM forum. Im going to throw my hat in the ring if those kind of nominations are allowed."

    In the proposed plans, you have to be nominated. You can't "throw your hat into the ring." And campaigning would be a big no-no in any regular member voting/nomination plan.

    Amazing.

    What you do is become a better poster on the boards; Stay out of trouble, help out your fellow poster, and make intelligent well thought out posts.

    That's the way to "campaign" for a moderator position.

    Sucking up to the right people will also help if you follow neither of these.

    Pift. I did that for a good 6 months and no one on the MS noticed.

    The trick is to send 20 to 30 PM's to as many mods you can a day making suggestions on how they can do their job better and adding at the end of each PM: "You know, this would be alot easier if you made me a Mod."

    I've seen it happen.

    Thanks for the kind words, guys. :)

    It wasn't really fair for me to "have colours" when I really haven't been able to put any serious time into moderating (even just before Big Brother).

    I'll still be around here and there, and if any of you have any problems you don't feel comfortable discussing with the mods and feel you can talk to me about it, feel free. ;) I have "connections" on the inside. ;)

    Thanks to everyone who made me feel welcome and even those who liked to ruffle my feathers every now and then. I can never repay the debt I owe the JC for giving me the opportunity to meet so many cool people and many of which I'm proud to call my closest friends. :)

    Thanks!

    I'm interested in the discussion of the selecting new mods, but would rather not follow two threads on the topic (seems rather redudent to say everything twice when it can be said once in the existing thread, IMHO), so could everyone interested in the subject go here? I've outlined some problems with existing ideas, and think we should all work through this before racing off and trying something new. Thanks.
