Well this will eventually lead to an election poll, but first we need candidates. For someone to be up for nomination they should have 2 seperate people nominate them, then they have the choice to be put up for nomination or to pull out. Obviously we need more than one moderator so suggestions for the number we should have would be welcome. I think 3 would be the absolute minimum (plus Mal as administrator), but I've no idea on what the maximum should be

So I'd like to start by nominating (in alphabetical order):

Ba Witda
Buzzfloyd
Tonyblack

(Playing blind Pictionary, me drawing)
Ella: Is it a giraffe?
Me (stops drawing): No
Ella: Star Trek?
Me: Yes!

I'll second those. And though EM is a spaz, I'll add his name to the list. I'll also say CY cuase he seems to have a good head on him.

Like the good crowd-follower that i am, I agree. Buzz, Ba, Tony and CY seem like good ideas.

HA! Face EM! Toaf hates you.

I'd be happy with any and all of those people as moderators.

I'd like to nominate Buzzfloyd and Tony and Garner and Ba and Marcia and Cynical Youth and Electric Man and Rincewind, assuming a moderator is something along the lines as I wrote here: http://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/c...603;p=4#000046 and also assuming that Tony and Ba join, which they haven't yet. We can also allow people to become moderators after this voting of course, this is just the initial start-up moderator gang.

As well as the message board moderators, you can also have people in charge of modules, which is probably for another thread; but I was hoping Tony or Electric Man might want to be in charge of the FAQs section which isn't visible at the moment. This is different from the Forum FAQ above, which is simply an operators manual for the message board.

Marica and Garner are good. I'll also say Doors. He on holiday though and doesn't know this place exists though. But seening what Garner and Doors did as beasically Mods on the main board, it's pretty stupid not to have them here. I

I'll second Buzzfloyd, Tony, Rincewind and Doors. And I nominate Mynona

I'd also like to nominate Sacharrissa, but she probably won't have time for it.

Thanks guys! I agree with all the nominations so far.

Edit to add: Although I don't think I've been around long enough to be as widely respected as the other nominated posters.

I think it might be a good idea to have moderators from different time zones, so we could have sort of a 24-hour watch.

Thats not a bad idea.

"Frangipanis on cars. AUSTRALIA SAYS NO."

I'd nominate Buzzfloyd and Tony straight away.

Other than those two, there are quite a few people who have the necessary qualities. I'd agree with all who have been nominated so far. And Marcia, if she hasn't already been nominated, I can't remember.

That would also be... CONDENSATION.

I'd second most of those nominated. They probably won't thank me for it, but I think Garner and Doors should *not* be moderators - they are both too hot-tempered and inclined to do impetuous things that they won't apologise for or change. Sorry, Garner and Doors, but that's what I think.

I think it's also important that the moderator group not be seen as cliquey. Does anyone think the group we have there is in anyway biased? I think it's ok, but I'd like to check if anyone thinks it needs balancing out.

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.

I'd have to agree with Grace, short fuses don't make good mods. I don't think it's [i:376d2778e3]too[/i:376d2778e3] cliquey, there's always a certain amount of clique, because naturally the people nominated have fitted into the same board already

I'll second Marcia and Rinsewind if they needs seconding, and thank the right honourable Rincewind for nominating me

edit: where on earth did an extra closing italics bracket come from?

(Playing blind Pictionary, me drawing)
Ella: Is it a giraffe?
Me (stops drawing): No
Ella: Star Trek?
Me: Yes!

I don't think it's too cliquey either or, if it is, there's not much we can do about it - we have to nominate people we know well enough. Plus there'll be others in the future we haven't even met yet.
