I wonder if we need to have a few moderators right away in case a few nasties show up before we get around to voting?

I'd like to suggest in no particualr order: Rincewind, Garner, Doors, Buzzfloyd, Ba and maybe myself?

Hopefully no one should have any problems with the above list, apart from Garner (who didn't accept nomination the first time, but I believe it would be silly to leave out now) they were all voted tops last time. We can still have the elections and these don't have to be above any future voting; they just seem like obvious choices right now when we don't have any moderation, which is why we came here I think.

If this is a bad idea please say so here, this is only my opinion and I have not talked to anyone else about it.

Just to clarify my status so people aren't confused: I put this site together and use an account by the name of Astroman to admin the site as a whole, but Astroman has no domain over these message boards as such, there is no user called Astroman that can post messages and he/it can't do any moderating. The only thing redarding us that Astroman can do is make moderators for the message board; so yesterday when I moved the old election posts into the dungeon dimensions I had to go to the admin (Astroman) account, make myself (Maljonic) a moderator then move the threads. After that I went back and changed my status to a normal user again, which is fine for what I was doing but it's going to be a bit of an arse to have to keep doing that until we get around to electing moderators, plus I can only do it while I'm here.

What does everyone think?
