Nominate a forum moderator...

Postby Get Real! » Fri Jun 20, 2008 3:12 pm

Nominate a forum moderator...

Nominate a forum member to compete in a poll against other nominees to be presented to the forum administrator as the democratically elected forum moderator.

Aim for someone who believes in and fights for justice and can operate with impartiality. Above all with a good head on their shoulders to distinguish right from wrong.

GR nominates the following people in no particular order…

Iceman, Kafenes, Nikitas, Observer


Regards, GR.

NB: Needless to say that nominated persons have the final word if they want to participate... :)

NB: Needless to say that the forum's admin has the final word if our democratically elected person gets the job at all... :lol:

Iceman loses his temper too readily ... as I have borne witness ... and his PM transgressions and lack of apology mean he cannot be trusted.

Nikitas is easily diverted :lol: plus his valuable posts may be lost to us.

I would substitute 74LB in place of observer for impartiality with TC leanings any day. Observer is a bit too CopperLine-ish and prone to errors.

Kafenes would be the strongest candidate (and perhaps I could bribe him with a lemon cake :wink: ).

But I am most in favour of maintaining Lana ... but with a few clearer guidelines being established.

Thread locks are a particularly unnecessary form of moderation since any topic can take a different twist or turn with every post.

I receive a lot of attacks and it's usually when I am trying to defend myself against people that have particular problems in comprehension, that I would ask for least intervention with deletions ... as they have often happened just when I have established an effective response.

On the other hand I have been very grateful to have had deletions of defamatory posts against me when I have not been here to defend myself.

I do not want Cyprus Forum to end up like Cyprus Living though, full of snidy-whiny types like Bill, Jerry and SSBubbles .... but maybe they are the mainstay to keep threads rolling.

So I still say Lana to stay as Moderator. 8)

I nominate Lana.

Is this 'Moderator selection/election process' in the Rules and regulations of the CF?

If yes, I vote for Kafenes.

Kafenes may end up beating Marios Karoyan as the first Armenian to come to power... :lol:

....and of course the role of Moderator also comes with a company Porsche, large expense account and health cover!! Lana told me. :wink:

It's Lana for me. Kafenes is great but may be a tad biased in some subjects.

As for thread locking, this is absolutely right. Personal remarks and pomposity goes way too far.

....and as for poor ickle Oracle who gets attacked personally when all she's trying to do is make people understand when they so obviously don't understand the simplest concepts. She's just trying to educate! :cry:
