Here's another superfluous vote for 'Zala, one for AG, one for Mirandee, one for MysticMelody, and one for Eleanore. These are not necessarily the best people for the job, but they are some of the people who I am, personally, the most familiar with and admiring of. I'm sure I would admire some of the others just as much, if I knew them better. I'll have to start paying attention to posts by some of these names that are so lauded.  Thanks for the recommendations, guys!  IP: Logged |

Thanks for your vote, HSC but Randall already selected myself and Zala as mods here at FFA. He is still looking for 2 more.  I can't speak for Zala, but I think she meant pretty much what you said in your post, that voting will tend to be along the lines of popularity or who one likes and does not like rather than who might be the best for the job. In other words, just like the national presidential elections. lol IP: Logged |

Randall, Just curious, and I hope that I am not opening up a can of worms by asking this, but I wondering why you are not asking for any mods at GU. That is also a very high traffic area of LL and you are the only mod there. I think there should also be at least 3 moderators at GU not only because of the high traffic but also that is the area of LL where most of the arguments and personal attacks occur. Incidently I am not applying for the job if you should want more mods at GU. No way! lol However I would recommend Harpyr and Eleanore for the job of mod at GU. Harpyr asked you once if she could be a mod there and Eleanore would make a very good mod at GU too. She posts there frequently and is liked by both sides of the political discussions. That is when a discussion actually breaks out there in between the arguments and name calling.  IP: Logged |

Silverstone & Mirandee
Thank you both for the votes!
But as Silverstone indicated in his nomination of me.....
UC and LM are more my thing.
Several persons have come to mind who I feel would work out well here at FFA. But many might not have the free time required. So....
I will return with further nominations once I have thought on it some more. IP: Logged |

I agree with Mirandee- There NEEDS to be moderators in GU. I think if it was more moderated that more people would want to come and discuss more. It could calm it down a bit, which would be great coz more people would come in and share their knowledge, thoughts, etc. I think the hostility is a turn off to most people here. Not familiar with Harp, but I think Eleanore would do a good job, I think she'd be fair. I vote for Eleanore for Moderator of GU. IP: Logged |

Regarding moderators for GU (that is if Randall chooses to have more mods at GU and he has not said he did as yet) I would truly like to see Harpyr as one of those mods because she has stated she wants to inforce the rules there, she is intelligent and has a very calming manner about her. Something she can bring to GU which needs that influence. Eleanore is fair and can express her disagreements with others in a "win/win" way that does not deride others which is why I think she would make a very good mod at GU. Another suggestion for mod at GU that I have is Tink who also has the capability to see both sides of things and expresses herself very well. Just my opinion. IP: Logged |

Just to add, AG would make a good moderator at GU for the same reasons I gave above regarding the ladies. He would add some calm there as well but as it is now, the walls at GU are dripping with testosterone no offense meant guys, and for that reason it would be nice to see an equal mixture of male and female mods at GU. So maybe 4 mods? Just due to the fact that while less people may go to GU there is a lot of posting there on a daily basis. *edited to add a thought* Basically what I am trying to say is that there are some very strong personalities at GU and I think someone who can handle those types in a calm and non-attacking manner are needed as mods at GU. Also someone who is able to see both sides of things. IP: Logged |

Thank you for the "votes of confidence", it's nice to get pats on the back I don't know what came over me anyway. I'll bet it was my Mercury in Virgo trying to take charge when Merc was still figuring out which way was up. I'm not much of a Law Enforcer. I'm a little too laid back...
When Randall said that what was needed was mostly a "presence", I thought, "Oh! Well, I am "present" on and off much of the time anyway, so Why Not?" And being annoyingly diplomatic by nature, it didn't seem like there would be much more involved than my normal behavior.
But THEN (ahh, now I'm thinking and those scales are swingin'...) I thought, Wait! I might be expected to CHANGE my behavior!!! So many believe that Mod's and Admin should be "Above" disagreements etc., and surely I would eventually either be ignored or have to take a stand... and then chaos would ensue.
Do I really want that kind of drama? I think I'd rather take a nap. *yawn*
It's like being made "Supervisor" in some fast food or pizza joint. It seems like a good idea at the time but it really only means 20 cents more an hour, extra stress, everybody hates you, and you get blamed for everything. Not that the Mod's are hated here, but they are really held to a higher standard.
I thought that with a couple of strong personalities like Zala and Mirandee, I could just stand behind them and say, "Yeah! What she said!" or one of my creative ways to say, "Can't we all just get along??" but I dunno, I might not be cut out for this job. My prayers are with any who agrees to Mod GU. May the Force be with you! (I thought Elenore WAS a Mod in GU.... or used to be or something. I don't know. Maybe she was a Mod somewhere else and I just "met" her in GU.) ------------------

Aw c'mon Mel, face it -- you're a born diplomat You'd be an asset in the Mod Squad Just because you're a Mod doesn't mean you can't have fun!! Just like being a parent and "authority" doesn't mean you can't act like a kid with the kids Mirandee and Fayte ~ Hoping you feel better soon  I had that awful crud just before Christmas.....

Well yes, I was thinking a redhead, a blonde, a brunette and a raven haired beauty would give the proper "balance" to FFA. Whatever were you thinking? IP: Logged |
