I hope this thread does not turn into a argumentive political debate. I feel the current group of Moderators should already have a rough estimate of who they desire to nominate future Mods. I feel this topic needs to just lead into private discussions by mods, develop commonalities in those they choose to advocate to make new Mods. Use these to discuss amongst another mods to determine the most appropriate additions of Moderators and then let results be known to those AD members privately that it has been agreed on that the desire for them to be an AD Mod. Then in private all this can appropriately take place and then you will not run into a situation where everybody wants a particular member, but yet they decline when approched.
 
Just wanted to thank some of you for nominating me, I'll wait and see what Alex and other mod's decision to make when time comes :)
 
I agree with dougRN; let's not turn this into a popularity thing via another poll. Enough names have been thrown out for the mods and Alex to pick several folks.

And all I'd ask for is for a balance of liberal and conservative moderators because they do get involved in discussions.
 
True, such as these hot topic debates, discussions and all.
 
Yeah, that would be great idea, I think.

62# - what an excellent post :)

Good point. :) I like the way you think Tousi.

Moderators should be neutral while they are doing their job. Think them as fireman , you can sit down with a fireman and talk about politics but when there is a fire at your house if he refuses to help you because you didnt agree his views in the past , there is a problem.

I do not think the solution to it is getting different moderators with different point of views for protecting different sides. If it becomes obvious that a moderator is not being neutral when there is a conflict , then its Administrators job to evaluate the situation and replace the moderator in question if neccesary.

I am not supporting a division between moderators as liberal and conservative. The feature moderators should be neutral, and always remember they are expected to be neutral while they are doing their job.

I know the moderating team here has had their hands full and they certainly could use more moderators to distribute this responsibility, BUT I can't commit to being one of the excellent, hardworking moderators at this time. However, I am flattered by the nominations, thanks. One day, maybe, when I am not such a gypsy in my life.

Sorry, Alex :aw:

I don't know most members personally here, so it's difficult for me to make nominations. But this may surprise you guys but I know Sharky would be a good moderator. He is a good guy to have on board, and I really appreciate his help with my forum.

Miss Delectable would also be a great choice. I believe Reba has shown she can honor the forum rules, even when she takes a different position in politics. Again, I haven't really seen what most members here are capable of and I would hate to miss out on the potential of having great moderators. I do like the idea of having moderators that can be neutral on the hot issues.
 
I would like to nominate BANJO!!
He is the most sensible and the most intelligent of all
and most trustworthy, is my reason. Not to insult the
rest of you, you guys are too but i like Banjo the best, ok?
 
He's already politely declined, Defee.

Hermes, you used the word, "natural" 4 times when I think you really want, "neutral". It is already in the rules that they are to be neutral but reality is a different thing because the moderators DO join in the discussions and I support that and asking for the compromise as I have, it isn't out of line.

I support moderators joining in the discussions because I can't see how they can just sit there and not join in. The current mods pretty much show which way they lean in any given topic and what sets them apart from most of us is their ability to be neutral. If we were all that way, there wouldn't be any need for them, lol. Fat chance, huh? Thus my reasonable proposal....

While I appreciate the nominations, if I was offered the opportunity, I would have to turn it down. There's just too much going on in my life to take on a volunteer job.

Thanks anyway.

Theres no such thing as neutrality.
Let's vote for a moderator is a heavy weed-smoker, heavily tattooed, someones whos out-spoken on taboo subjects like body-peircing, pubic shaving techniques, brothel-shopping, someone who is ASL orientated whose has no bearings on English, and as a avid support of Deaf sports - and especially get someone who is apolitical (thats right with no political view, lets make it easier get someone who is an anarchist) on anything in real life. They have NO intention of developing political insights for d/Deaf people to assert for their rights. This plan would improve All-deaf tenfold, since they would have no need to censor, thereby allowing threads to be extremely colourful and ultimately unproductive - which exactly fits the mould of Deaf people, in exactly the same way as how haring people stereotypes deaf people. Afterall, this forum would be exaclty what hearnig and deaf people considers as a deaf people's forum on the internet, hell we might even get MORE heanng people involved exchanging insults this would fun !! LIke professionals working in health or disabilty areas would happily express their true thoughts to us, all the better, they get their stress off , and so do we. Let it RIP, like have a real war !!! there would be no lies and feel-good bullshit anymore just plain hard, raw cyber version of barbarianism. Dont evolve, lets devolve !!
