ante Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotwaterwizard Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 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.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotwaterwizard Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I agree. It is hard to know if you wasted time when there is no response from the other end.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 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.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ante Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 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 Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotwaterwizard Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 John,Mixos makes the decision. I do not think he saw your conversation.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixos Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 HelloSteven 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
