Object to EAllusion or RenegadeOfPhunk as mods? PM ME NOW!!

[_Scottie]

Also, why is Scottie still a mod? Because he decided to start posting again after a six month hiatus?

for what it's worth, I offered to resign my position as mod when I went on hiatus. Shades chose to keep me on.

[_bcspace]

There was also BC-Space who showed interest I believe.

I did not actually volunteer by sending a pm to Dr Shades and so no poll. Am still considering it and likely am taking too long to do so. Maybe next time. But thanks for thinking of me.

I think it is impossible to know how you would moderate in every single situation. And I think it is impossible to suppress all emotional influence over decisions. But yeah, I will enforce the moderator policies of the board as you've laid them out to the best of my ability. If I disagree too strongly with some policy, I'll just step down. I'm about as unemotional in my decision-making process as they realistically come, and I'll certainly try not to be personally biased in any moderating decision I make.

Shades, it's going to take me a bit of time to try and learn how you would ideally moderate in any given situation. But I'll do my best on that front - as well as keeping emotion out of moderation decisions.

For comparison, RoP is about 3/4ths Some Schmo and 1/4th The Dude.

Sounds like a science experiment that went horribly wrong...!
...I'm flattered by the comparisons though... :)

Who the hell is "RenegadeOfPhunk?" Why is he being chosen as moderator when he ne posts here? I've never heard of him and I imagine that many others haven't either.

He was quite active about three or four years ago.

This really doesn't make sense.

Shouldn't a moderator be someone who knows the board, and knows the current rules?

So he was active 3 or 4 years ago... why did you choose him?

No offense to RoP, I don't even know the guy.

I support the pick. Ren is a really good person. It's true that he has been absent from the board for quite a while. However, he was one of our original members. He understands the board, and Shades' vision of free speech. He is even-tempered, and has always displayed good judgment in his posting style.

Two excellent choices!

I still wish a LDS poster would step forward and volunteer, that way we can rest assured that all will have their counterpart on equal terms.

You're missing the point.

I am not looking for "counterparts."

I am looking for CLONES.
