LNBS - The People's Mod... term limits?
First and foremost... I want to express to Flop that this thread is not in any way shape or form meant to show disrespect or a lack of gratitude for the work done.
Second... this thread is not created to express interest in being a moderator here. ----- Listening to a conversation tonight were people were talking politics (upcoming election and complaining about entrenched representatives) and it got me thinking to when Flop was voted in as the mod in 2011 and was dubbed "The People's Mod". I was wondering what you all thought about having a single mod position being an elected position for a term of 4 years. In my head: * Every 4 years a thread is created by an Admin asking for nominations for "The Peoples Mod". * People would nominate... then vote * The incumbent mod could very well be re-elected or a new one would take their place. What say you? /this thread is brought to you by insomnia |
Are you suggesting that we vote for Bob Dole's replacement?

Oh wait....the "other question".
I'd say in a given week, I probably only do about 15 minutes of actual work. |

I feel that mods spots should be up for renewal on yearly terms. Reason is simply the human element tends to get in the way of moderation after a period of time. Some folks cant put there personal differences behind them when it comes to moderation. They abuse their rights and unfairly screw with other posters because of personal feelings. Yearly terms should be voted on and new folks should have the opportunity to help police the site. Otherwise we will revert to the Old star board levels or dear lord even the Orange mange... |

What if someone wants to be a mod? How can they go about being one? |

Was just wondering what the protocol was. |
What about an up or down vote every two years like they do judges? Might reel in any rogue mods. Fresh blood is normally good.
I'm pretty sure all the mods would be renewed, but it would be epic (and terminally stupid) to let mods run for office like the noob contest, offering bribes and such LMAO |
Bob Dole isnt a moderator.

This place once almost voted in luv as a mod.
It's not a terrible idea, but I'd think it would have to be done like it was last time, where AC, the current mods, and maybe even a handful of long time regulars have the final say. Like DaFace said though, I don't know of anyone wanting to get out... not sure we really need another one. I think DaFace's last thread about the amount of content that turned into a thread about moderation was pretty successful... given the fact that we all work together to form a consensus on issues and none of us are exactly set on doing things one specific way, I'm not sure a "people's mod" would make a much more significant impact than simply having open discussions from time to time. |

There are only so many posters on this forum, and a limited number of them are capable of doing the job of mod.
There's nothing wrong with the mod team as it is. If you want a shot, wait until one of them gets sick of doing the job, then bribe the powers that be to get the position. |
I should be made to be a mod. It would provide insta-burst to the entire site.
|
Austin owns this place and the mods serve at his pleasure.
That being said, I think we could use some new blood, both to stay out of personal disputes with posters and board politics and gambling, and to try to improve the tenor of discussion here. I think taking a half a step toward a firmer tack against trolling and serial insulters as well as thread derailment would go a long way to helping bring CP back to being as good a place to be as it once was. |

I agree with Brock for the most part... I think the "good old days" is more of a product of long time posters growing up and growing tired of the same old shit, not so much the site changing a whole lot. Maybe there's more noise now, and I think some of the anti-trolling/mocking stuff gets out of hand more often these days. |

I suppose we can do what we've been doing but I think being more proactive could help. There used to be more collegial debate and higher brow football talk and not just insult fests derailed into 'doesn't matter QB sucks' |

Like I said though, I don't disagree that it can't be better... I've always been a fan of removing those who bring absolutely nothing to the table, but 1) it's not my board, 2) my definition will differ from other members. We have been more active with banning people from threads, but there's still only so much we can do because everyone has a different opinion of what needs to be done. If you read all of the reported posts, I think you'd agree how ridiculous some of them can be... I personally wouldn't mind kicking out all of the chicken littles every time the most clutch team you've ever seen goes down a run, but settle for dumping the worst of it. Hell, we were even going to ban the winner of Douche of the Year for like a week and got overturned. |

Actual football discussion or discussion about the root of this teams problems are overshadowed by the constant whining of Smith... |

Seriously, if you guys would just make me a mod then I would have this site turned around in about 30 minutes.

I'll just throw this out there. Anyone who wants to be a mod, probably shouldn't be. It's a crap, thankless job. If a douchebag like Native is a mod, I'll be done here. |
