Moderator

Now that Frenchie's not with us. I think we need a new group moderator?
What are your thoughts? I think we need one at the least to liase with the owner and also they have some extra oversight that regular members don't have.
I don't want to do it myself

 

Do we need one? We seem to all get along fine.

I don't think many people would want to put themselves forward to be honest.

 

Frenchie had powers to change the titles of threads for example

 

He was also able to sticky and unsticky threads.

 

Yes...a good point

 

Do we have a moderator currently?
What do they have to do?

 

It was Frenchie

He could exclude people and delete offensive posts
Change thread titles
Liaise with the owner and get updates etc
Post stickys


etc


There will be more

 

I certainly agree that in the long term we need one. I'm not actually sure what the full range of a mods powers or responsibilities are - or even how to go about becoming one. On the whole we can regulate ourselves on here unless another Superhorns turns up suddenly. The only contact I have had with mods has been to have predictions league threads stickied or unstickied (not sure if these words have arrived in the Concise Oxford yet !). So if i said yes I'll do it I would be completely in the dark as to what I was letting myself in for - similar to many on here I imagine. Also I am not what you might call a digital native - and don't want to be one. This last is added to the fact that I am generally reducing my time spent online in order to sleep better and give my eyes a bit of a rest (and I know mods are expected to read all posts on here). The long and the short of it is that I will do it as a last desparate solution if nobody else steps in (although I have no idea who to contact in that eventuality).

 

Thanks Cologne.
For me i had to ask Frenchie to retitle a thread which thread authots used to be able to do.


I think yes we do need one
