Nominate someone to be a mod.

[Greg-J]

Who you would nominate to be the newest mod and why.

[lilgezuz]

I would nominate nsmchris. He seems to be on the forum alot. He is very helpful with things and has a good deal of knowledge. Plus he is mature and fair

[xJennax]

^ i agree with that.

Lyzrdgyzard- He is an active member who helpful, nice but would have the ability to be a fair mod.

Geg2- Another active member who goes out of his way to help. He's mature and seems to have a lot of knowledge.

[geg2]

I nominate Jen for mod. She's on the forum for quite a while everyday and cares about the forum. She's mature and speaks up when needed but avoids personal fights.

[Ajay]

I nominate nsmchris as well. He posts very helpful threads and stays out of trouble.

[Greg-J]

Just for the record, you can nominate people you think I can't stand as well. Anyone is fair game.

[layoutcentral]

I nominate nsmchris as well, he is very helpful and nice.
I think Marshall would be a could candidate as well he seems to be pretty active and very helpful.

[barcodeunit]

leezon, makeaprofit, or jeremy860......

[GREGO]

^^ haha

I second Lyzrdgyzard and would also like to nominate Pookie

[Andrew2]

I nominate Anne since she's on the forums enough, She is very friendly and very easy to get along with.. I've never had negative vibes from her, ever.

& Sergio of course.

and nsmchris if he wants to be mod. :P

[layoutcentral]

I second that nomination for Anne

[barcodeunit]

i nominate greg-j as a moderator since he owns the forum. duh.

[Jordan]

Sergio's always been like a pretend mod so why not make him the real thing :) I think he's always got something interesting to say and is pretty mature.

nsmchris too, I thought he was a mod :| shows how blind I am.

[Connections]

Geg2
&
nsmchris I guess.

who is anne I cant remember this user?????

make some one a mod who has a tleast been here 12 months or so.

[RKGraphics]

i nominate chris (even though i KNOW he's way too busy ;) ) he would be perfect.

quickbeam, marshall, george, david....
i have others in mind but they dont come on at all anymore :(

my bff jess (jess61981) because even though we are friends, she doesn't care about the drama and knows how to be neutral. very laid back but can get jobs done. however, same with her...she's not on very much.

[edit]

nsmchris too, I thought he was a mod :|

ditto :whistling:

[RKGraphics]

oh yeah, edit too

[DavidR]

Yes, I nominate David with an R too, because you'd all do a rubbish job.

[Nora]

Geg2
&
nsmchris I guess.

who is anne I cant remember this user?????

make some one a mod who has a tleast been here 12 months or so.
Anne's the person who sold her soul for a marketplace thread (love her avatar) :biggrin:

Anyways, I vote for her, Geg2 and nsmchris :)

It would be useful to have a moderator of a different time zone though because these last few weeks people are always causing trouble when almost nobody is online..

[belowthestars]

I nominate DaviR because he just got a new external hard drive and he's really excited about it, and when he's done with the excitement i think he'd make a good laughing stock (mod) haha :P.

[DavidR]

It would be useful to have a moderator of a different time zone though because these last few weeks people are always causing trouble when almost nobody is online..

Yes Nora, so basically you're saying a vote for DavidR, that's 7 votes, including the 3 I just made up.

[Andrew2]

Yes Nora, so basically you're saying a vote for DavidR, that's 7 votes, including the 3 I just made up.

That's 6 votes including the 3 you just made up and the 1 I deleted like 10 minutes ago so it looked like you were talking to yourself. :walkman:

[DavidR]

That's 6 votes including the 3 you just made up and the 1 I deleted like 10 minutes ago so it looked like you were talking to yourself. :walkman:

I was going to spare you when I became mod, but now you're second on my list. Job number 1 is overthrow Greg-J.

[belowthestars]

I'm scareddddd :helpsmilie:.

[Connections]

Anne's the person who sold her soul for a marketplace thread (love her avatar) :biggrin:





Join Date: Oct 2007

She has only been a member for a few months,

Why would you make her a mod,

I would make a more established member a mod.

I don't really think join date should matter.. some of the newer members are a lot more mature than members that have been around longer..

[DavidR]

I don't really think join date should matter.. some of the newer members are a lot more mature than members that have been around longer..

Joking aside. It has everything to do with it. Connections point is very valid. Need someone who at least knows what they're doing, like Chris. Anyone who has ANY affiliation with glitters or rubbish freebies is out.

[Andrew2]

You're in denial.

Mod, can clean up spam.. Tell newbies the rules... Help people delete threads when asked...

How does the Join Date affect any of that? :-/

[belowthestars]

Danger! Danger! High Voltage!

You don't know anything about them. People don't just roll up and take charge of things. It shouldn't even be a vote, Greg should just pick someone quietly.

[Nora]

Anyone who has ANY affiliation with glitters or rubbish freebies is out.
Isn't that part of the forum? If those sections weren't here then nobody would be affiliated with it to begin with.. :s + I think people who post freebies are very helpful.

You're in denial.

Mod, can clean up spam.. Tell newbies the rules... Help people delete threads when asked...

I agree!

What's wrong with nice helpful members? I really don't want to see a mod that's going to boss everybody around..

[Connections]

I don't really think join date should matter.. some of the newer members are a lot more mature than members that have been around longer..

do you know any thing about running a forum? I don't but I have helped running a friends car forum which is larger then this forum and I know how things are ran.

It's the worst thing possible to make a new member a mod,

It's like putting some one who is off the street into be a presidential candidate,

sure anne may be a good member, but in terms of how long shes been on this site she has only been her 3-4 months? She needs to mature as a member around here.

If I was running a forum I would never make a new member a mod.

[Connections]

man this forum has changed a lot people have seen a lot of things,

new member have missed a lot of the "development" of this forum, a few people have been around since this forum first opened.

I have never seen a large forum where people are a member for 3-4 months and then made a mod it would just be a joke.

It would be like making that Jeremy guy who scammed every one on here a mod.

I run a forum so I do know a lot about which people to make mods and registration date has nothing to do with it.

You need to choose people that current members like and get along with, a member who also knows how to enforce rules on people they like and somebody the administrator can get along with as well or it will turn into a complete mess.

Older members shouldn't automatically become moderators.. its all about respect and definitely not about join date..

[Andrew2]

We'll just have to let Greg make the decision and hope It's a good one.

[DavidR]

No-one said they want a mod who bosses people around. That isn't the point of a mod.

And also, I said rubbish freebies, Andrews for example don't fall into the category of rubbish. Some of the tat that gets posted is embarrassing, we don't want people who want to give crap away just to get rep, we want someone who we respect who has knowledge in this niche and others, who has drive.

Connections is right it's changed lots. This forum was at it's prime over a year ago. Since then it has nose dived. It isn't as simple as "they joined first make them a mod" the fact you think that shows how silly you're being. It's about knowing the forum and it's real potential, knowing the members, what things were like when it was running well. That's why someone you just "like" can't simply be made a mod.

No offence to Anne who you guys nominated by the way, I'm not saying rubbish freebie and glitters are associated with her, they were general points. I don't even know who she is... which is why it needs to be someone with presence.

[Nora]

You're talking about mods like they're supposed to be running this forum and building it like its their own website.. if that's what Greg expects mods to do then fine, maybe people with more business experience and MSP knowledge should become mods.

What I understand under the term moderator is somebody who is willing to volunteer to make this forum a better place and keep things under control.. why should the potential of the forum and its history matter? They're only here to keep things clean and help out.. its not like they will run a business all of a sudden and get special privileges right?

I just hope Greg picks somebody we all respect.. isn't that why we're supposed to vote?

[DavidR]

Mods show an example of the sort of members here and that's not just smiles and friendliness... I don't know what Greg expects, if he wants a respected community like he once had he can go one way - if he wants to make a few bucks for people posting market place topics he can go the other.

Yeah but that's up to Greg and not mods.. I doubt he'd change his business plan because moderators want to see the forum managed differently :S

Anyways sorry for getting a bit too off-topic, just didn't like members being voted against because of join date..

[omen]

I nominate DavidR

[Anne]

Hi David, nice to meet you.

I think a mod should be someone who has these qualities:

1. Is friendly, respectful, and fair.
2. Knows the rules of the forum/subforum that he or she is the moderator of, and abides by them.
3. Can enforce said rules to the best of his or her ability, while remaining fair to all members of the community.

That being said, I'd like to nominate Felicity (Jazzy-Jazz) as a moderator, it appears she has all of the above named qualities and more, and I think she would be a good choice.

[DavidR]

Yeah but that's up to Greg and not mods.. I doubt he'd change his business plan because moderators want to see the forum managed differently :S

Anyways sorry for getting a bit too off-topic, just didn't like members being voted against because of join date..

Greg has said many times in topics he wants to bring the forum up to scratch again.

Join date again? It's like talking to a brick wall... I explained that already... it isn't because they joined first. It's the experience and knowledge of the forum they have and the fact the community knows them. Someone who joined 1 year ago, but hasn't posted doesn't qualify for that, so it isn't about join date. It's experience and knowledge.

If it was simply for someone to clean up a few posts, then Greg was wasting our time in posting this topic and posing this question, because anyone can do that. That doesn't need a vote. Sitepoint has mods, team leaders and mentors, the combination of those is important.

[Adz]

I'd like to nominate Felicity (Jazzy-Jazz) as a moderator, it appears she has all of the above named qualities and more, and I think she would be a good choice.

I nominate JazzyJazzdotnet for the reasons above too :)

[Jen]

Aww, thanks for the nomination geg2

As for my nomination, I vote Chris or Lyz (David) or Geg2

They are all on board most of the time adnd are very knowledgeable when it comes to the forum rules (so it seems :) )

[Anne]

Actually, David (lyz) is also a good choice. He is super friendly, very knowledgeable, and always willing to help if you ask.

[mrs brightside]

David (lyzyrdgyzyrd)

[123alex]

I would nominate nsmchris very helpful and mature


















Byrl

[RKGraphics]

This topic was a debate waiting to happen :)

I think the useless posts just posting random things should stay out of this thread.

I do have to agree with all the other members that say it should be somebody that has been here with experience. It's not the join date that matters. Some people who joined when the forum first opened, don't have the experience because they just pop in and out and don't participate.

However, somebody like Chris, or Jamie...etc, would be examples of people that do have experience because they have been here a while and know this forum in and out. Somebody who has been here a few months, all great qualities in mind, may not "get it" to the extent that the other senior members do.

I do know ultimately it's Greg's decision. Having users chime in would be helpful, as it was actually mentioned a while ago as a suggestion to let the members pick, however....I don't think the majority vote should be the ultimate decision. I think Greg should take all nominees into consideration and pick the best person for the forum.

As this is a mod nomination thread, I will keep other opinions about the forums current status to myself for another time :)

These are my opinions. Happy voting.

BTW, Just to clear up a few pm's, I'm not a full mod. I just watch over the marketplace. I have absolutely NO power at all in other forums, nor do I have options to edit/delete/mod anything BUT the marketplace.

And I think a great candidate in another timezone should be considered. It would certainly help.

[Jordan]

Tina, did you get my pm?

I think the useless posts just posting random things should stay out of this thread.
Excluding the above question...which posts? I haven't seen anyone post anything that hasn't been helpful in some way.

And I think a great candidate in another timezone should be considered. It would certainly help.
...like Australia? ;)

[RKGraphics]

Tina, did you get my pm?

Nope, sorry I didnt get your pm. I have changed around a couple of things, so yes please send again if you could. thanks.

Example: http://myspacepros.com/forum/showpost.php?p=194315&postcount=29

Most users in "other" time zones are mostly in Australia so yeah, would be a good idea.

[lyzyrdgyzyrd]

I think Chris and Geg would be good choices; they are both very amicable, always keeping an even keel.

Jessica/Jessidel ~ Amicable as well, and she is very well liked and respected here.

Denise/Taghyra ~ One of the nicest people here, and she tends to be online during the "odd hours" that there seems to be so much concern about.

[George]

I nominate me.

And remember kids. A vote for George is a vote for change!

[JazzyJazzdotnet]

I would like to nominate David aka Mr Coffee (lol) aka Lyzyrdgyzrd...

He is very active on this forum, very kind, and always seems to play fair.

Thanks for nominating ME Anne, but I wouldnt wanna mod all you crazy people hahahahaha xox

[MoreniTa]

David (Lyzrdgyzard)

[ituhitam]

nsmchris or/and lyzyrdgyzyrd

..............................................

[misterproline]

I would say Marshall because he invented the internets.

[jessidel]

lyzyrdgyzyrd or nsmchris (or BOTH!)

[pimpyourdino]

lyzyrdgyzyrd

[minnseoelite]

rkgraphics - i think she has done a good job modding the marketplace and addressing members concerns, respected, helpful, active, long time member.

nsmchris - respected, fair, helpful, i think he would fit right in.

[Greg-J]

Keep it coming. I'm actually enjoying the debate :)

[applebooty]

lyzyrdgyzyrd, yep.

[supportomatic]

I'm officially not nominating myself. Please don't pick me. ;)

[Anne]

You know, now that I think about this a little more, I think Tina should be made a full mod.

If she's good enough to mod the marketplace, she should be good enough to mod the whole forum.

I know there are a few that have issues with her, but can they honestly step up and say that she has done anything unfairly as a mod in the marketplace?

And that's all I have to say about that.

Just for the record, I don't believe I would make a good mod, I'm a noob.

[jessidel]

Greg, it might be helpful if you give us an idea of what you're looking for in a moderator right now...
There have been some really great people nominated, but frankly, some of them would scare the hell out of me if they had moderator rights. :biggrin:

[Andrew2]

My full out nomination goes to nsmchris now but still my main concern is if he's going to want to be mod.. Hmmmm? Chris?

[NYCBORN]

I nominate Andrew2.

[DavidR]

My full out nomination goes to nsmchris now but still my main concern is if he's going to want to be mod.. Hmmmm? Chris?

He is the best for the job as a neutral person, who knows his stuff in this niche and has respect of members and knowledge of the forum. I wonder if he'll want the job too :D

[barcodeunit]

i nominate misterproline because he gets all the chicks and brushes his teeth twice a day.

[letoutpuissant]

i nominate misterproline because he gets all the chicks and brushes his teeth twice a day.

i've seen this happen.

[RKGraphics]

i've seen this happen.

lol. you guys are crazy.

from the moment i got on this forum i swore chris should have been a mod. love the guy. have never seen a complaint about him. if we beg enough, he might do it. LOL

[misterproline]

I nominate barcodeunit.
Barcodeunit isn't hung like a horse.
Horses are hung like Barcodeunit.

I also co-nominate letoutpuissant for serving in Vietnam for the full 13 years.

[letoutpuissant]

Thanks Patrolman, it was great serving with you during Tet...

unfortunately I will immediately deny your nomination with reason for me to focus on my own work.

[Sergio]

I nominate myself because I always see duplicate threads and other things that get on my nerves. Unlike past mods, I wouldn't just lock it (adsense threads, remember?), I would probably merge the threads and promote the search feature. I have a lot of experience modding since I own my own forum currently with 36x,xxx posts. All of the members are teens and we don't have the drama this forum has. Coincidence? No, I'm simply that awesome.

The only thing about me is that I kinda have a life now(2 schools, 1 certificate program, and a band). I probably wouldn't get to read everything.

[Andrew2]

Sergio, I would nominate you too...

And I have in the past via PM to greg :P

If chris can't take the job then my vote goes to King Sergio.

[mawt]

I guess I vote for chris, is that the guy with the green something avatar? lol

[DavidR]

Actually yeah Sergio gets my vote. Chris was my neutral all round choice, but Sergio get's my actual vote, just for saying what he said there... cause duplicate topics and people not using the search feature... or common sense/Google is really frustrating. No previous mods have done anything like this and it needs to be done.

[DavidR]

david everytime i change my mind yours changes with me.. conspiracy?

That's true actually. Stop controlling my mind and my thoughts. I'm thinking of an unripe green tomato, are you putting that thought in my head?

Edit: God damn Andrew and his lust for deleting his post mere seconds before I reply to them.

[Andrew2]

That's true actually. Stop controlling my mind and my thoughts. I'm thinking of an unripe green tomato, are you putting that thought in my head?

Aha, Once again. I have deleted my reply now as it appears that quote has come out of no where. Thin Air I say.

I vote for DavidR again.

Edit: God damn Andrew and his lust for deleting his post mere seconds before I reply to them.

Rats, and I would of gotten away with it if it wasn't for these meddling kids.

[DavidR]

I vote for DavidR again.

Your mind control doesn't work now, I've signatured Sergio, my vote is unwithdrawable.

It doesn't matter that signatured and unwithdrawable probably aren't real words. You're just one man, what you gonna do about it?

[Andrew2]

Blast It All! (pretend to be in caps)

[GREGO]

Barbilee anyone? she is very respected, very intelligent, very nice with no temper.. and one of the best spellers I've ever seen!

Vote Barbilee for your 2008 Myspace Pros moderator!

[DavidR]

Barbilee anyone? she is very respected, very intelligent, very nice with no temper.. and one of the best spellers I've ever seen!

It's true, she does possess all these qualities.

[RKGraphics]

ok. that took the bait there greg. rofl

[Andrew2]

back to reality, anyone wanna ask chris if he would even consider being mod? just so we know where he stands..

[Sergio]

Lol@your sigs.

Back on topic. I disagree about Lyzyrdgyzyrd by the way. He would actually be a great mod, but I haven't seen him post that much lately (I believe he only posts in the marketplace now).

[nsmchris]

I started to post in this thread a few times today and ended up just deleting the message. It's great to see that many of you here think I would be a good mod and there have been several occasions where I even wished I were (goatse flood comes to mind). I know I'm here nearly 16hrs a day, but I'm not sure exactly what commitment being a mod requires. I am very interested in the success of this forum and the community that uses it. So if asked to be a moderator, I would probably say yes.

[RKGraphics]

i think you already hold a lot of qualities that would make this forum more successful. and if you said yes, that would just be awesome. and then you would have to live up to all the hype and not let us down. lol. jk

[minnseoelite]

i don't think you would have any problems chris.

[Andrew2]

i take that back, they both have half my vote! :)

[Sergio]

Double posting should be frowned upon. If I was a mod, I would have merged your posts.

[sshjustkissme]

I'll like for Chris to be a mod also.

[Andrew2]

Oh please. There, I'll delete one of them. [deleted]

[mawt]

Not "Anne".
And double posting is frowned upon in almost every other forum I've visited.... ever. Thats why there shouldn't be a timed edit button for our posts.

[icfire]

There are also ways to automatically merge posts, if it can happen on phpbb it can happen on vbulletin

Not "Anne".
And double posting is frowned upon in almost every other forum I've visited.... ever. Thats why there shouldn't be a timed edit button for our posts.

[Sugarlipz]

I say Chris, David and Misterproline. I think we actully need two new mods.

[DavidR]

I'm torn now Chris is very helpful and has knowledge in and out this niche and as I mentioned respected as a user/seller. Think Sergio still needs to be a mod, but we need two for sure, especially with two good candidates.

You were looking for one, but if two perfect willing candidates appear... why not two!

[Andrew2]

again with the copying of my decisions!

from now on I'm going straight to patent.

[DavidR]

again with the copying of my decisions!

Oh this is outrageous.

Edit: You did say it aswell, the signature, stop it.

[TFB_princess]

I nominate me.

And remember kids. A vote for George is a vote for change!


LOL this guy even has his own slogan! I don't know who he is, but I'll vote for him. :punk:

[supportomatic]

LOL this guy even has his own slogan! I don't know who he is, but I'll vote for him. :punk:

His slogan ought to be "Vote for George or get George-Slapped" ;)

[gadgetgurl7]

I'd nominate Chris. I feel he's mature and would be fair around here.

[Benahue]

Just for the record, you can nominate people you think I can't stand as well. Anyone is fair game.
Hahah, in that case I nominate Fryman.

[Greg-J]

We're going to need more than one, but choosing the first new mod couldn't have been easier. I've contacted Chris (nsmchris) and he's said he would be happy to be a moderator on MSP. I'll make things official on Monday.

[Andrew2]

rkgraphics (marketplace mod)
greg-j

[geg2]

PGZ's name has been bold blue ever since the cprv episode. Is PGZ officially reinstated as a mod? By the way, I'd love to have him back as a mod.

[Greg-J]

PGZ's name has been bold blue ever since the cprv episode. Is PGZ officially reinstated as a mod?
He's always had some residual mod powers but after that cprv incident I made him a full mod for emergencies. He is not a mod though, no.

[Andrew2]

Is NSMchris a mod yet? It's monday :(

this was probably a dumb time to ask because greg isn't even online :P

[Greg-J]

Indeed. I've been caught in one hell of a snow storm so I haven't been able to work at all. It's been one thing after another out here and it's finally returning to normal so I'll be able to get the things that need getting to.

[king_la]

I wuz gon say chris 2 guess im late lol! But congratz!
