Poll: Is it time Queenzone finally implemented moderators?

How many of your friends have you nominated now? lol

Excuse me?

IMO I think either Real Wizard, Gregsynth or Zebonka would make good candidates.

Thanks for playing! The correct answer was 3. Thought I better quote you...quickly....

Piss off. This has nothing to do with picking people solely because they're my friends, and close friends at that if this was what you were getting at. If that were the case, on the basis of them being close friends, the list would be very different!
My picks had to do more with their quality of character and integrity from my own observations. Have you noticed I haven't nominated myself either? I feel I have too much bias and also would not be able to dedicate a consistent amount of time on a regular basis to overseeing the forums due to personal situations outside of the website.

Can't believe this shit.

Real Wizard is the best candidate for being a QZ moderator.

Oh settle down. Everybody has bias, and friends, and that surely shows up in our judgement of 'quality of character and integrity'. My first choice would be status quo with YV, with a little more consistency and regularity in removing people who have been removed before for the same destructive behaviour. I miss her greater participation here in general. Second choice, somebody who wants the job and has a similar mindset.

Sorry GF, but I don't appreciate people accusing me of using a friend-based bias when I make suggestions, that really irks me. That's not how I do things in this context.

It wasn't much of an accusation. More of an observation that there's quite a bit of overlap between your QZ friends and your extensive moderator choices. I thought it was kind of funny anyways, and as I said, human nature. I wouldn't sweat it all that much.

It was moreso Holly2003 that ticked me off than you

Catch of the day lol

If I was a moderator, I would do my best to listen to everybody. I would listen to both sides (if there's a problem), and stay out of arguments if I can.

I think the role of a moderator here would be just to delete troll posts and troll accounts. No need to moderate arguments - those who argue can sort themselves out.

Those people who have been proposed as moderators are regular contributors to this forum. I think we should let status quo remain for the following reasons:

1. If any one of them is appointed, we may lose him or her as a regular contributor of points and opinions.

2. Those who do not like the appointed person may leave the forum, so we would lose their opinions and comments.

I'm sure Gregsynth would be fair, but his response time for this thread was 13 days.

I think the proper order of things should be:

1. Have idea we need more moderation.
2. Ask YV and Richard about this in a private message.
3. Accept result.
4. If answer is positive, allow YV and Richard to select the person(s).

So, while interesting to discuss here, I don't think it is a matter of our nominating people.

Agreed. It's really ultimately up to YV and Richard how they would want to go about selecting a mod.
