Time put in at the nexus should automatically carry over :)
Why the need for 500 posts? I was one of the first people to sign-up and I only have 200. What's the point of having a mod with most of their posts in the off topic section?
you get my vote O_hurley
I appreciate it. I really don't have enough knowledge regarding anabolics to be a general moderator. I know on Nexus there was at one point moderators of different sub-forums. My experience is really centered around weight lifting and diet for bodybuilding purposes and I know enough about the human body to help in these areas. Also perhaps contest preperation, posing etc...but I can think of a few guys who have been around a lot longer than me and have more practical knowledge. Most of them also have experience with AAS, which I really want nothing to do with.
If there was a natural bodybuilding section (I think a while ago there was but it wasn't very popular) than I could probably answer almost any question. Besides that due to this boards content my help would be very limited.
I'm editing who I think would be a good choice because there are just too many people to choose from. I went through the list of currently active members and I had left out a lot of people. I still think that UkranianGuy would be a good choice because of the time and effort he spends. I also think JonnyO would be a great choice. I guess BDH could do it too although he is a wrestler. So that makes him a big fat phony but he would do a good job. For Female members I think 69C or Feline Cougar would be good choices.
Yeah.. Feline Cougar would be a decent choice.
One day if I'm really, really, really lucky!! I will become a Mod somewhere and then brag about it to my grand kids lol. I say start with some proven vets and work from there, gives other wannabes a good direction to follow..
thanks OH
I am sure there are good reasons why there is a swinging 3 mth mod rotation... but i cant see any. I can see a few negative ones... someone wanna enlighten me?
Absolute power corrupts absolutely (or something like that). Man I'm a post-whore tonight. If certain people didn't like the choices than they would only have to put up with the choosen moderators for a short time.
If it were my decision I would emulate the MN system. Have a couple rotating general moderators and then also have moderators for sub-forums based on experience. For example, there is a french sub-forum. What if the moderators can't speak french?
I personally say scrap the whole idea and just get chosen mods that you feel will do the board justice.. The last thing CBB needs is the community clashing. You'll start hearing things like "Anyone can be a Mod now, one board out there is letting people do it every 3 months". Another would say "This guy just applied for a Mod job at my board saying he modded at CBB". It will start getting nuts for CBB. "not only did some boards sell status, but now you can become a Mod without earning it ect.." I see alot of down sides to this idea, now that I think about it... But who really knows....
perhaps then add a whole new level.. general population, then Forum leader (for example french section, women section) and then MOD, and finally ADMIN
Yeah, makes sense. Or really, if you have moderators for different sub-forums you wouldn't need general moderators. MP could deal with anything like that.
Now that I think about it I also kind of wonder about rotating moderators every 3 months. The idea of change isn't so bad but every three months is quite often. If 2 moderators are choosen thats 8ppl per year.
Moderator
The moderators (short singular form: "mod") are users of the forum which are granted access to the posts and threads of all members for the purpose of moderating discussion (similar to arbitration) and also keeping the forum clean (neutralising spam and spambots etc). Because they have access to all posts and threads in their area of responsibility, it is common for a knowledgeable and trustworthy member to be promoted to moderator for such a task. Moderators themselves may have ranks: some may be given mod privilege over only a particular topic or section, while others (called 'global') may be allowed access anywhere. Common privileges of moderators include: deleting, merging, moving, and splitting of posts and threads; closing, renaming, stickying of threads; banning, unbanning, warning the members; or adding, editing, removing the polls of threads. Enforcing the Board rules.
Do we have rules?
i vote for UG guy. hes probably one of the most partial people on this site, with zero ties to anything. he would be great to have as a mod
lol? what typo?
cook my own shit = homebrew ;)
well i have ties.. im a MOD on another bb'ing board. Ideally the board would be benefit most from someone who could devote all their free time... instead of divided up
Hammer for the record it was a serious vote for you.
Havent put in the time of effort? Please, list your bodybuilding credentials... not your CBB ones, the experience you have in the world of bodybuilding, health and fitness, and life in general...
You only want Mods that have never been Mods anywhere else??? You gonna hire only minorities when there are clearly more qualified white folks???
Well if brown Devil and Hammer are up I can say those are 2 people on this board who might be slightly more qualified than I.
I think Durk would make a fine Mod... only because of his avatar, though...
Funny that some of these people that are so interested in being mods here never ever post unless its some thread bout becoming a mod. If this board gets turned into Nexus, it'll be a real shame.
Yup and thats why I find it funny that most of the guys wanting to be mods just joined up and started posing when this came up.
I would like to see Mr. O , Fergie . Gus and smart-tony take up the spots. I believe in knowledge and a sense of humor.
Thanks spiderman but I dont have the time or patience for it.
Ya i'm with you on this new blood,or People that have been here for a long time,true cbb hardcore,before it was big.
Gus would be good!
Gsxr750 computer expert!
Freeze has been here from the start,i remember there were like 10 of us posting back in the begining,and he still posted every day,i will be pissed if the guy doesn't get the mod position that would be a slap in the face if he doesn't get a shot.
yep i think freeze should be one of the mods for sure,
