    Post Who is willing to serve as a mod?

    I logged on today for the first time in a few weeks and noticed that two mods were no longer listed. It got me thinking (again) that while many of us complain about them, who among us would be willing to serve a stint as a moderator? It seems like a thankless job.


    Who is willing to put their time where their mouth is? I'm just curious... I think they are volunteers though I've seen some posts about the pay/salary.

    I would like to be a moderator.
    I have friends here on both the right and left.
    You can also count my enemies on just one hand.

    I am retired, have no life and no schedule, and I am usually up at zero-dark-thirty when everyone else is asleep.

    I have adopted a two sleep system like in the old days before electricity and bright light bulbs.

    So, you see, my hours are quite flexible.

    This may come in handy around the 2022 midterm elections when all the BOTs invade and start posting their propaganda. *******************************

    but I DO have enemies that have said some pretty vulgar things about me and got away with it because of their longevity here.
    ...but they DEFINITELY violated the standing rules that are supposed to govern all our behavior.

    If I was a moderator, a member's BEHAVIOR and the existing RULES would be what drove my decisions...not longevity or who I was friends with...or who hated me.

    ...and I would also know those decisions would have to be tempered with the fact sometimes people just have a bad day and say dumb things.

    In that case, they should be given an opportunity to apologize and everyone drop it and move on.

    This attitude served me well in the one year i was a Navy cop (Master-At-Arms) on the Connie.

    I figured Standing Wolf was interested but he seems to have abandoned us?

    If that happened I would have had strong objections from past experience in another forum.

    Where does one find a list of Mods? Just curious. Not that it's ever stopped me from being my usual self.
