AVENguy Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 In light of recent events it seems like a system of moderators might be a good idea. With my schedule I haven't had time to keep up on the forums, and because of that some things got out of hand. Mods would have some priviledges to lock, delete or move threads, though I would make the stipulation that they check with me before employing any of them. Basically a forum's moderator will be someone who regularely reads the posts (alot of you do that anyway), gives me a heads up if anything starts to get out of hand and helps to deal with the situation. We'll have moderators by forum (welcome area, rantings, etc). If you're interested in being a mod, PM me with the forum you're interested in (it should be one you read regularly) and a brief statement about why you want to be a mod (I'll mostly be going on what I know of you from the forums, but it's good to have a little something else.) This whole process is pretty informal, feel free to apply for more than one forum, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Naeblis Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 This is an excellent idea and I would like to ask you to consider me. Link to post Share on other sites
Live R Perfect Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Great idea, AVENguy! :D Err... not that I'm putting myself forward or anything... Though I do check the threads several times a day... Hmmm... I'll think about it... Link to post Share on other sites

Live R Perfect Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Hey, I had a dream that I think related to this last night, but it was all very analogous. (Is that a word? It is now...) Anyway, in the dream I was at a roundabout and I could see some people I vaguely knew on the other side of the road clearly dealing drugs or something else equally dodgy (i guess these were the trolls lurking). I turned and walked away to avoid getting involved but got stopped by a policeman (AVENguy?), who said I couldn't go because I had to help him watch them. Ooo-er! D'ya reckon I spend too much time here? :? Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 No. I had a dream about hanging out with Gorax last night. We were just...hanging out. Talking about how trying to find a job sucked. I think Bard would be good, too, if he wants to. Cate Link to post Share on other sites
Zorui Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I had a dream after the every time you masturbate thread about me and Gorax running about killing anyone who admitted to masturbating to save kittens. Link to post Share on other sites
bard of aven Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Well, there you go, then. I can't very well be a moderator if I'm dead. But thanks to those who nominated me for the vote of confidence. boa Link to post Share on other sites
Zorui Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Eh, we spared the AVENites. In place of killing them, we threatened God into cutting them from the process. Yes, we threatened God. And it worked. 'Twas a very odd dream. Link to post Share on other sites
JKReagan99 Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I had a dream after the every time you masturbate thread about me and Gorax running about killing anyone who admitted to masturbating to save kittens.*lmao* :lol: have fun I hope? ;) :P Link to post Share on other sites

----------- Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I'd like to be a moderator-- it's something I have alot of fun doing =D. But I'm rather new = Link to post Share on other sites

Cate Perfect Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I was dreaming because we were in the same room, bitchin' about work. Unleeeeeeeess I magically flew to Canada in the middle of the night and Gorax and I had a little talk. I don't think so, though. Cate Link to post Share on other sites

Gorax Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I don't remember, so she must have had one of those flashy lightsticks from Men In Black. What secrets DID you tell me, anyway? :D Link to post Share on other sites
aury Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Wow! Many people dream of me i think it's the dreadlocks they remember. :D i wish i could remember what i dreamt... must not have been very important... :? Link to post Share on other sites
Gorax Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I had a cool dream earlier too. I remembered it when I woke up, but now I don't anymore :x Link to post Share on other sites
orderinchaos Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 It's probably too late for me to add my voice, but if it's a vote, I'd go with the Bard, and possibly Twice Upon A Star, VivreEstEsperer and Liverlicker ... of course, all depends on whether they want to or not, and whether or not they have the time to do the job(s). It'll be fun picking moderators for the language forums if we ever get to that, although I don't think there's a great deal of competition for two of them :P Link to post Share on other sites
bard of aven Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I did IM with AVENguy about this, and he seemed to have it covered, and I want to be free to go on the occasional psychopathic rant myself, which theoretically should be avoided by moderators. But thanks for the kind thoughts. boa Link to post Share on other sites
VivreEstEsperer Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Ooh..I missed this thread originally. It never showed up in my new posts. dangnabbit makes more sense now lol. I think boa is a good choice as well. personally as much as i would like to i dont think i want the pressure of having to do something that i may or may not have time for... better to leave it to someone who knows theyll have the time. during school i only get to aven about three times a week and sometimes only once a week, so that's not all that much. Here at home tho I am happy to announce I have been on AVEN every single night since I returned. :) And am enjoying it. I love making AVEN a nightly routine. And I got like 50 posts in 4 or 5 days, lol. I wonder if we are going to have an election, or if people who are interested will be self nominated... at least I ask that if mods are chosen that there be a post telling us of who they are and what their capabilities and responsibilities will be. and yeah, we might as well have mods, I guess. I'm ideollogically opposed to it but on a practical level I support it. And we shouldn't need them that much anyway. Kate Link to post Share on other sites
aury Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 hey, didn't we used to have a mod by the name of selie? the hell ever happened to selie, anyway? :? I wonder if we are going to have an election, or if people who are interested will be self nominated... at least I ask that if mods are chosen that there be a post telling us of who they are and what their capabilities and responsibilities will be. not a bad idea... i especially like the idea of the notifications part. i would have volunteered to be a mod (God only knows i'm on here enough :roll: ), but considering work & school, i'd be too stressed to moderate anything. plus, i the status i have here at aven; complete nutjob a-phrodity. :twisted: :lol: w/ the mouth/keyboard of a truck driver. so, um, NAY!!! 8) Link to post Share on other sites
Jayann Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I think AVENguy is waiting for all the offers he's going to get, and appoint them himself. Link to post Share on other sites
VivreEstEsperer Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 all good, then boa, didnt see your post about that. Link to post Share on other sites
orderinchaos Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 BOA: Psychopathic rants are all fine, I don't mind the odd one myself :P To the others: given that the moderation role would be more of an emergency ministry/portfolio, rather than a leading or interventionist one, I'd reckon it'd be a matter of direct appointment. I think we'd be in trouble if a moderator was needed on a daily basis in any more than the short term. Link to post Share on other sites
