New Moderator

I think we need another moderator for these forums. Lately there have been some useless posts (Lakota), some repeated posts (Radio Head) as well as some posts that just need redirecting (Knotty Baha). I think the forums would be a much more...enjoyable place again if some of the worst posts were closed. I PMed Skip about it...waiting for him to respond...but I'm wondering if anyone agrees with me (or if i'm just whining), and if anyone has any ideas for a good moderator.

 

how bout you somce you pointed this all out.

 

Yeah we could definatly use at least a couple new mods. If skip OK's the idea we should have a poll.

I would nominate stonerbill, or jokerman since they're pretty much the vetrans round here.

 

/\ If I'm not mistaken, Stonerbill has been nominated in the past and he didnt want it.. we should ask people if they want to be nominated before we start throwing out campaign signs for them

 

i nominate mellow

 

i dont see anything wrong with knottybaba's post... just because its something you know nothing about doesnt make it a useless post... its marijuana related...

 

i nominate myself

 

can i be your running mate? like the VP?

 

.

 

Holy crap... are you saying what I think your saying? You're gona get banned... hahaaaaa

 

There, I saved myself

 

Except it still shows up in my quote, haha

 

lol

 

Don't worry I got your back, lol

 

haha owned by the quote, i hate when that happens

 

any ideas for a new mod?

look, i know you don't agree with many of my thoughts, but please, don't just assume what i'm saying is going to be what you think it's going to be. in his post, knotty baba himself asks it to be moved to a more suitable forum, after the suggestion from some forum members that it be moved to a religion forum. i didn't refer to it as a "useless post", i said

i do know nothing about what he's asking, which is why i think it should be moved to a forum where someone does know something about his post.

 

I don't think another mod would change your issues. There will still be useless posts, repeated posts, and posts that need to be redirected (shouldn't this technically redirected to the Lounge since it isn't about marijuana?). An additional moderator would lead to more closing of threads which would lead to new threads from folks wondering why their thread was closed.

 

^ thats why u have a large FAQ and rules at the top of the forum, anyone not obeying is warned twice to read the rules and if they dont comply then they get banned, only thign is the user base within just the MJ forum isnt quite big enough for that

 

so they get banned and then create another name and keep the cycle going. Either way an additional moderator isn't going to change the issues novictim points out.
