New Mod Nominations Here!!!

by **Heat Miser** 2015-12-09, 13:30

Since we already have 1 seat open (Minnie)...per the charter:

The Charter wrote:When a moderator position becomes available, the Gerousia will be called to nominate potential moderator candidates. A moderator does not necessarily have to be a member of the Gerousia but only Gerontes may nominate a candidate and you may not nominate yourself. Once three members of the Gerousia have endorsed a candidate (nominate, second, and third), the candidate will be proposed and a vote will be conducted. A moderator candidate requires a simple majority (18+) when half (35+) of the Gerousia is represented in the vote.

Nominations, seconds, & thirds ITT. Aaaaaannd go!

Anyone with a known hatred for another person on the board is dangerous - see Gomer, pulling. You think Bob survives with Goose as a mod?

depends on how I'm dressed.

if I'm wearing something that provokes him, then he would be absolved of any responsibility.

by **Code_Warrior** 2015-12-09, 13:34

Travis, Loose Goose, DWags, and Bobby Sak in no particular order.

I think you're overthinking it. He's a freak in reality but he would not abuse mod power.

That's a 2nd for LooseGoose.

Bobby is already a mod of tBob.

I will 2nd both Dwags and Travis as they seem to really want the job and have promised to be good.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2015-12-09, 13:38

Agree with Roc. Second LG.

by Guest 2015-12-09, 13:38

Bump. This is very important to me despite not having a vote.

by **Rocinante** 2015-12-09, 13:38

that's a 3rd for LooseGoose.

AM Wood

by **NigelUno** 2015-12-09, 13:41

Keep some of these candidates in mind for Ephor positions also.

by **Vlad** 2015-12-09, 13:44

Although I enjoy my exchanges with Dwags, I do not support his candidacy. We must be diligent against "Dwagsification" of the Swill.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2015-12-09, 13:45

Travis. Just Travis all the time.

Nope, not a username gag. He nominated you.

What if we spice things up a bit and nominate SD265?

by **AMwood** 2015-12-09, 13:48

i appreciate it friends. but i wouldn't make a good mod. i'm sporadic and i'm not level headed. also, it's too much work for the lazy.

If there are 2 people on this board who believe in freedom of speech, it's you and Loose Goose. As I believe that you're both principled people on opposite sides of the political spectrum and I further believe that you both value those principles enough that you both would moderate only as required to properly handle TOS violations and merge threads, I believe that you both would be good mods.

I'd ban Bruce Springsteen. That's it. As far as Vlad, without him and Blanch and Dude, who would be the uofm foils on the board? you have to have a couple of those guys.

Geronte promotion voting requirements were lowered to 25%. You may have to do the same (and apply it to mod votes).
