Title: Forum moderation alongside the Admins...
Post by: Welung666 on 16 April 2009, 11:39:26
Just an idea, please feel free to shoot it down in flames :P As an additional help to the 4 main admins would it help to have say 2 or 3 forum moderators? These would have a lot less power than the admins, just with the ability to move/delete/lock posts. Just thought it might take a bit of the pressure off the admins is all.

Not a bad idea at all Welung, although, like the admins themselves, they would need the judgement skills of King Solomon. ::) ::)

But it could be done, to stop the speedy deterioration into rudeness, nastiness and pure obscenity we have regrettably seen recently. :'( :'(

Somethings got to change and Forum Member Moderators could well be the answer! 8-) 8-)  But who?? :-? :-?

That would be the decision of TB and the crew. It was done on a classic car forum I use (infrequently now) by the 2 main admins as it was quickly spiraling out of their control (not that that's happening here) but adding 4 moderators changed the board completely for the better.

Well, it certainly seems like a good, well tested, answer then Welung. :y :y :y :y ;)

But, please do not answer this as I can see that line of comment becoming extremely risky at the moment! ::) ::) ::) ::)

I would step forward for the position, but only if no one minds ;)

Only if we can all talk about your eyebrows behind your back ;D ;D Likewise Pete, I'm spending a good chunk of my day on and off OOF so I'd happily step-up to the plate to.

In principle it could be a good idea.Might take some pressure/hassle off. :-/
The members would have to be chosen very carefully though.
Personally,I wouldnt do it for all the tea in China.(or all the migs in massive) ;D
