The Right Stuff-Who would you be happy to see as a Moderator

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 12 Nov 2006, 21:05

As far as I know POL are not looking for an addiitional mod at the moment and I am speaking unilaterally without having discussed it with Paula, Marya or Bob.

I also suspect that whomever got my "blessing" would be dead in the water. I was discussing this yesterday, as I was reminded that the fracas over supposed imbalanced moderating started because the whisperers claimed that because the mods were all in favour of new schools the schools thread was not fairy moderated. Which in my opinion is nonsense. I hope you agree.

I feel I only have to point to this statement from Marya in relation to the Alison Connelly deletions.

Marya wrote:It is indeed a pity that Alison deleted her posts, but I have now spoken to her and understand her explanation. I feel it is an even greater shame that Alison no longer wants to post on POL. She was one of only a few prepared to argue the case against building on the Park and fought a very lonely and brave battle at times. Not a position I think anyone would relish.

Marya is about as fair an individual as one could hope to meet and Bellybabe is of the same ilk.

BTT

The first name that popped into my head was Gilo, then I thought PoP or Poppy would be good. Mr M. Rathbone, Epykat, teddygirl, Seanie. The list is long and I hope I don't offend any that I've not mentioned. What do you think?

i think you would do a good job too. Might be an idea to get a male involved in the mods team.

Roger Twongle would be better than you.

You were on a loser with this thread, Porty.

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 13 Nov 2006, 00:37

Who's Roger Twongle???

Seriously, I never heard of him before now. Why's HE a contender? Why's Bob not on that list? Hope I'm not on it ... I couldn't moderate past a bag of Soor Plooms!

Roger Twongle is a legend. The way he pronounces "Lipizzaner" and "carp" alone qualify him for giddier heights than moderatorship.

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 13 Nov 2006, 01:30

It's all very well to claim the guy's a legend. But I've never heard of him.

More info please.

He has his own podcast on Radio Free Porty - just go to the downloads page.

Nah, I reckon he'd be a rubbish moderator.

Surely Dadist is a choice. Will mean he can't have arguments with the mods about the school, or forum, or comments he's made, or comments he hasn't made or ....

(unless he has a split personality we're not aware of and can start argueing with himself

)

We've been there. I was the Anakin Skywalker of moderators.

Yes - it's the community council who get to be the Inquisitors!

Has anyone informed the CoS at 121 George Street??

BTW, dear Porty 5K, what is 'Suff'??

All these posts, and your typing/spelling is worse!

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 14 Nov 2006, 16:55

I thought it was an abbreviation Poppy - for "Righteous Sufferers", referring to we poor moderators and our onerous task...
