I nominate myself. I have the advantage that I don't take any sides. I don't identify myself as left or right,

But you identify as a Liberal supporter, did you forget?

I may have voted Liberal, but I don't agree with all their policies. It was the least worst choice for me at the time, but I don't know how I'll vote the next time round.

I'm just quoting you. Roll Eyes

Newbies, be they sox or not, begging for mods positions is so needy.

I don't beg, and I'm no sock.

I believe you Xiena Huh

Wow Anthrax, can you get even more condescending?

Hicks is a disgusting nazi from the crap he wrote in the drug testing the unemployed thread. Yuck.

Didn't see it. Don't care. Already said political ideology shouldn't matter and that Andrei and I don't agree on anything. I said he's a good mod, and he is.

This bears repeating. Just my opinion on moderation, but I think it's a reasonable approach.

Quote:

...I believe that, to be a 'good' mod you do need to distance yourself
somewhat from the general cut & thrust of most threads. It's too easy to forget that you are
the referee and become one of the players.

It doesn't mean non-participation, it just means you need to be very circumspect (which does
remove a lot of the 'fun') or you lose credibility. Looks bad if you ban someone for something
you yourself have done 10 posts earlier or in another thread.

I always warn by PM before taking action, and I never discuss my actions or reasons publicly...

Great way to introduce yourself to a new forum.. join up, and within 10 posts be ripping it up the moderators.

Real good survival strategy... not!

Don’t you have more important things to worry about, like trying to graduate from kindy on this your third attempt?

Your parents must be SO proud, only 8yo in kindy!
