Congrats to forum user TomH, who will be moderating the “Non-Local” section of the news forums. He’s level-headed enough to handle it, I think, even with NamVet posting under a new name every 13 seconds.

You’d think that guy would have an actual life to attend to (NamVet). Obviously, that’s not the case. :p

I’m sure he does. He’s just a very passionate troll. He’s gone tot some pretty extreme lengths to keep posting here, actually. It’s charming, in a sad way.

Welcome aboard TomH!  Sounds like you got a tough job - but you can handle it!

TomH is taking a break from moderating for a while. Anyone else care to step in and fill his shoes?

I couldn’t possibly, I don’t use emoticons.

Oops. Private messages to me should work again. I didn’t realize how small our in-house mailboxes are.

Won’t say he trolls, but he seems to drop a baited hook in the water from time to time.  Is this a requirement?

In order to be considered for being a moderator, you should have a significant posting history. We know who the trolls are, and we know who the more community minded posters are, too.

Steve:  I would love to Moderate for Sports. I can’t help but notice that not that many people care about sports.  But I do!!  I would more debate chances, and I won’t even be bias.  I would love a chance to get more people into Sports!  Here.

That didn’t even make sense.  I just got excited.

Steve, I’d love a chance to moderate.  Being a heavy handed, capricious kinda of guy with a short fuse I feel a little moderating on my part would be just the thing.  I get so angry sometimes listening to other people’s opinions it just makes me crazy!!! Moderating would be a great way to relieve that stress.  It takes someone with snapped judgment to fill these shoes.  I’d love the opportunity to show some people which line their toes should be on.

Thank you for considering my application.

ummm… I believe Steve is looking for someone with the temperament of Mother Theresa, the wisdom of Solomon, the ability to both inspire and impose discipline of General George Patton, the eloquence of William Jennings Bryan, the imagination of Edgar Rice Burroughs, the writing talent of Mark Twain, and the looks of Brad Pitt.

and… I’m sorry… I am too busy right now with other projects.

Thanks everyone. contentpersephone has stepped up to the plate, and will be modding “Local” and “Non-Local” in news, as well as co-modding the parenting section with Zen. Applications are still being accepted, as Zen is currently modding pretty much everything else by himself.
