LNBS - The People's Mod... term limits?

[pr_capone]

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?

Thanks for still being a whiny bitch.

That said, if we do start making more of those decisions, it's because of the overwhelming response from people who want more moderation.

I think people want a more heavy hand with assholes trolling people in threads and just in general being a nuisance in threads, Ban them from individual threads.

Give the multiple violators a mini vacation to consider not being an asshole in threads. No biggie.

More posters being banned permanently I think a very few want that to happen.

That pretty much sums up this thread.

Other than complaining about shit you imagine could maybe possibly happen.

Okay. Carry on.

Some do some don't and that's the way it's always been. If we crack down on guys like that, which we've been doing more of, some people get butt hurt about it. Everyone has their own idea of what ChiefsPlanet utopia looks like and everyone's vision is a little bit different.

I wasn't complaining about anything. Again, I was answering a question. I'm not sure why you're riding my ass about this.

I haven't belonged to many b-board sites so I have an honest question or two.

What happens to posters at most boards when they start threads about once or twice a year bitching about moderators and admins or their decisions to punish members?

What about boards where members start threads once or twice a year bitching about mods when they bring back people who've been banned?

Not being a shit here. Just wondering if anyone's ever experienced that?
Maybe it's not very common because most boards don't give members the freedom to question the mods?

I've heard horror stories about the mange. Never really hung out there.

It's been my experience that moderation isn't even a question on other sites, but those sites are all heavily moderated compared to this place... meaning I've never seen threads, whether they're closed immediately or people simply don't question decisions for whatever reason.

It's hard to do anything in between heavy moderation and no moderation.

Yeah likewise on some of the other places I post. This is the most loosely moderated site I have ever posted on and it's not even close. With that being said, that may be why a select few are taken back and butt hurt when something does happen.
