Moderators for all boards! (If possible)

[ante]

OK, here goes!
I have a feeling E-Lab would improve if all boards had moderator/s. Some issues need attention and a moderator (or a few) for each board might be a good thing.

This new board (moderators only) will serve best if we all speak strait and honest to and about each other at all times. We must be able to give and receive criticism between us when necessary. (I know I’m not a saint!).

Gods Speed.

Alright you took my suggestion. Now if we could just use this to our advantage.

I noticed alot of one time members that only post once and don't return for their answers. If there were a way for the Moderator of the board to see the hidden email address can contact the person and see if he or she is still interested in the answer. If Not then the Moderator can feal free to delete that topic and make room for a topic that is more meaningfull.

I have also noticed the one-time posts, but I think they should not be deleted since someone else might have the same question. It is hard to tell if the OP has returned or not. I had the impression that some will see the answer and not post again.

Sometimes alot of work goes into finding the answer and it is a big disapointment to find out the original poster never used the info. Sometimes I spend hours finding Datasheets for example. Then no response from the member .

[MP]

I agree. It is hard to know if you wasted time when there is no response from the other end.

OK guys,

How about my topic “Moderators for all boards! (If possible)” !
I have to ask since you are both OT!  ;D

[hotwaterwizard]

Okay Ante,
Thank you for the space you have given us.
You are the greatest and it is very much appreciated.
I bow to you.

[MP]

I totally agree. Many times, I see posts that should be removed in an un-moderated area. It would serve the site better to have someone watching each board on a frequent basis.

OK john, I don’t exactly know what you are getting at here! Can you please just give me the bottom line?

[hotwaterwizard]

The bottom Line is :












Thank you very much.

John, MP,

Seriously, I think we (or perhaps Mixos) have to search for suitable Moderators somehow. E-Lab needs moderators and I mean active moderators. I do not have the exact recipe for how to go about this but I think it’s a necessity to recruit moderators for all the boards. I might have some possible candidates but I don’t know if they are interested (I haven’t asked them). I do not want to stir up something that will never happened since I don’t have the final word (and don’t want to) in such matters.
Any concrete suggestions on how to proceed here?

[ante]

I asked Zeppelin and he is interested in moderating, he wasn’t sure yet which board he liked to try though. I think he might work out as a moderator, what do you think about him? Shall I PM Mixos with a suggestion you think?

Steven may be a good one for the High Voltage Board. Someone is better than no one.

Here is why we need Moderators for All Boards. These are Currently posted on the High Voltage Board.

I'll take Service Manuals and High Voltage.
If they are up for grabs.

[ante]

Yeah your right, we need to kick some ass here!
The last 24 hours had 50% crap posts and this must be taken care of!

Why not ask Steven if he's up to it?

[hotwaterwizard]

We have a Go on that .
Steven is interested.

[hotwaterwizard]

Steven is all excited now he wants the Job.
He said thank you for considering him.
I think his Honesty is a great asset but his spelling is not so great.
Any how he is up for the challange.

[hotwaterwizard]

Well Steven is Disapointed now looks like you gave it to Zeplin Alot of good this section id doing for me. >:( ???

[ante]

Who are you addressing John? Who do you mean gave it to Zeppelin?  ???

[hotwaterwizard]

I noticed that the high voltage section now has a new Moderator.
Steven is the original Guy that Suggested that Forum and He wanted to be Moderator. I am a little Confused to why He was not considered. Who makes the Decision on that? M ixos?

[MP]

John,
Mixos makes the decision. I do not think he saw your conversation.

Hello

Steven was proposed a LONG time ago to become a moderator on High Voltage section, so there is no meaning telling that another moderator was selected instead of steven. There was NO debate between the existing moderator and Steven. I thought Steven had a clear view of the situation. We have discussed the possibility with Steven to become a moderator on High Voltage section but he had major problems posting a message with attachments and needed much effort to do this. I used to post his attachments on his messages a long time ago. So i think that in the practical level of being a moderator he should be more familiar with the forum to be able to help us. That's the point and i wouldn't like to disapoint Steven selecting another moderator.

[ante]

So.. I don’t need any more of these then?
Thank you!

[ante]

Why can’t I post pictures here?

[mixos]

The situation is over. I talked with Steven and everything is ok. Let's finish it here.
