Choosing moderators...YOUR opinions wanted, please!

[menace64]

I'd volunteer to be a universal mod.

Banning people has been my lifelong dream. 

[sickofpalantirs]

I think you would be a good universal mod. You seem fairly fair and balanced.
what is your avatar though?

[menace64]

It's a still from one of the best music videos of all time, Fortress by the band Pinback. Pinback also happens to be my favorite band (really laid back indie rock).

Any other opinions on this? Kralik has already made FM a universal mod, but it'd be nice to get the others in place soon. And what I DON'T want to do is promote folks and then have to axe them afterwards because folks have an issue they didn't bring to the table ahead of time.

If you have a strong opinion you don't want to express publically, send me or Kralik or a PM. But if you DON'T have a strong opinion...well, it'd be good to know that too so we don't have to wait longer than necessary.

Well is this a democracy? Are you asking for votes or for volunteers? Or what?

[DáinIronfoot]

Just opinions on my nominations, and perhaps on SoP's suggestions as well. I just want to get a feel for how many people think is a good number and who they should be. Personally, I disagree with SoP in that I think it'd be good to have two for most forums, as folks could be on extended vacation or other disappear (a la EL and AP), but that might just be me.

[lem0nhead]

I disagree with SoP except on menace for general and Thran for DC's but like i said i dont mind doing it.

[FM]

Ok, so what exactly can/should I moderate? Which session(S)?

[DáinIronfoot]

As a global moderator, you should have some manner of control in ALL forums. To what extent that control is, I have to confess I'm not sure offhand.

EDIT: Just checked, and it looks like you have pretty much full control over topics and posts. You can sticky, lock, move, split, modify content, etc. But control over other members and the forum controls remain solely with the admins. For now, at least.

Moderators of select boards would have similiar controls over topics in that board(S), but no other boards. Global moderators like yourself, FM, get that control everywhere.

Everything looks fine to me.
Can't promise I'd make a particularly effective mod, though, if you do make me one. Nevertheless, I shall endeavor to... Waittaminute.

*checks back at the list*

...SoP? A mod? As in, a guy with unlocking powers? Hahahahahahaha.... Poor NB. Spam Wars.

But seriously, though. Everything looks perfectly fine to me. As long as we don't have, say, PeterPot or llama modding anything, I'm happy.
Do we have/will we need an RPG mod? Wondering what the most effective thing to do there would be.

[DáinIronfoot]

Mods are not necessarily permanent positions. Should any mod abuse their controls or not do their duties like they should, they can and will be removed. So don't worry about all that.

Do we have/will we need an RPG mod? Wondering what the most effective thing to do there would be.

Probably, yes. You would likely be a good candidate for that, actually, but we'll tackle that another day.

[DáinIronfoot]

Alright, here are the revised proposals, then:

Universal Mods:
Felipe Musco
Menace64

LOTR Forum Mods (universal; all LOTR forums):
AgentDrake

LOTR General Discussion:
sickofpalantirs

LOTR Decks:
NBarden

LOTR DCs:
Thranduil, Lem0nhead (I think they both deserve it by now)

LOTR Gameplay:
TheJord

Trading/Online Play:
none other than the universal mods

RPGing:
TBD

MtG Forum Mod (universal):
NBarden

Note that other members might be added as mods later, especially certain members that are still absent.

If we're all agreed (especially Kralik), I'll go ahead and promote those folks.

[Hobbit_Pizza]

Looks good to me.

If I ever manage to achieve "trustworthy status" I volunteer to help w/ the Trading Forum.
I like to edit things to conform to AutoLink. 

[Thranduil]

Tell me, if you're nominating me for a mod, what exactly does a mod need to do?
