HB for mod...
    #1370779 - 03/12/03 07:25 PM (20 years, 10 months ago)

I'm just here to speak my case.

Now, I don't know what most the mods or admins think, but I can tell you that most of the users stand behind this sort of thing happening.

HB is probably one of the most, if not THEE most influential poster on the boards since PGF. People look up to him. Lots of people like him. He's an overall nice guy with many good aspects and enjoyable qualities.

I think it would be a big step in improving OTD as a whole is to have its most popular/influential users as a mod. Not to take anything away from any of the other OTD mods, but HB can really pull some weight.

I dunno, what do you guys think?

Holy shit, a mind reader!


"HB is probably one of the most, if not THEE most influential poster on the boards since PGF. People look up to him. Lots of people like him. He's an overall nice guy with many good aspects and enjoyable qualities."
He has never influenced me in any way. I find most of his posts to be inane drivel.

"I dunno, what do you guys think?"
I think the idea sucks.

I personally would LIKE to be mod ... but apparently there are just as many of you who don't like me as there are of those who do ...

For those who support me I appreciate it, as I personally believe that I would make a good mod (not in a narcissistic way) ...

For those who don't, that's fine, too ...

If this would be a criterion, PGF would be an admin now :wink: 




this made me curious about a few things:

1.) what are the criterion and qualities a person must have to be a mod or admin?

2.) what is the process of deciding whether or not to accept a new mod or admin?

If I were elected as moderator, I would bring you, the people, off-campus lunches, shortened detentions ... eck wrong speech ...

I think I could make OTD a much friendlier environment, as I seem to always maintain a very neutral and open mindset about everything ... if I were mod I'd clean up my act a bit, in the sense that I would post a lot less of the inane quality so as to set more of an example ... I only post the way I do now because I don't feel I have an image to maintain ... but if I were representing the shroomery as a mod, I'd certainly do my best to make sure I, and the shroomery, are taken very seriously ...

I wish that an admin or somebody could actually PM me regarding this, or at least post in this thread about ME, not about the criterion liquidsmoke used to say that I should be a mod ... it's quite discouraging to see anno saying:

"If this would be a criterion, PGF would be an admin now"

all that tells me is that, bottom line, as much as anybody else may want it, the admins certainly do not like me, and even more than that, they don't want me to be a mod

there's not much else I can say unless somebody with authority speaks on the issue seriously

in complete honesty, if 3D or Anno or whomever don't want me to be mod, I'd certainly appreciate if they would PM me or post here saying "we don't want you to be mod" so that I at least know i have no hopes for it and thus no longer care to be one. i won't hold any grudges and I won't even question it, but at least I'll know ...

i just don't like being lead on

As we discussed on AIM the other night, there are a lot of changes transpiring dealing with the administration and the board makeup at this time.  As a result, we are not accepting new moderators right now, and will give your request consideration in early to mid April. 

Until then, keep up the Q&A - it's nice to see a little debate goin' on :grin:

When it comes to OTD< I think HB could really mobilize users in the right direction. Like I said before, alot of users look up to him, like I used to as a newb.

I mean, I can't really think of any major significant reasons NOT to make HB a mod.

My take on this.... You should be displaying that BEFORE becoming a mod. Showing that if we did elect you as a mod that you would indeed be capable of what we would expect of you. Not that we would cross our fingers and hope that you would be able to behave in a way that is expected.

I do have concerns about whether or not you would be able to uphold all rules in OTD regardless if you agree with them or disagree with them. We all are required to enforce rules that we don't necessarily agree with. This does equate with what I said before. If you were already displaying "mod like behavior" then I might feel differently.

Please don't take this for anything other then it is. It is simply a concern and has nothing to do with what I think of you as a member of this board or anything of the like. To sum it all up....

If you are already acting like a mod should act then you are more likely to become a mod. Not, Do we think you might be able to do it if you had to. You should already be displaying these qualities.

Make sense?

This is my personal opinion and does not represent the other mods or admins opinions.

Ok, about you: I think you might have potential, young Grass Hopper, but as Geo said, this is not the best of times. Also, like Geo said, this discussion is a good thing, so keep it up. We are all sitting up on Mt. Olympus, eating grapes, and watching. This thread could use a Greek chorus though... :grin:

LOL pappy ... that came out completely wrong ... I meant that I just wanted to hear admins/mods actually comment on what they think of me becoming a mod, not what criteria ls was basing his decision on ... but in any case ...

Karen, you made a lot of excellent points, and I completely agree with you. If I plan on thinking about modship, I should start changing my way of posting beforehand ... regarding upholding rules, I will enforce all said rules of OTD, though the difference between me and most mods is that, since I generally take on a neutral position, I won't be so quick to lock a thread, and I won't be too lenient either. If a thread seems like it should be locked, but it isn't completely obvious, I would discuss BEFORE locking, instead of acting first and then discussing after. This is where I think I would do well. People hate to see their shit just locked up, a discussion would do everybody well.

Just because I'm HB doesn't mean I wouldn't uphold my responsibilities, and if I seemed to be doing a shitty job, then just un-mod me.

But yes, just put me last in terms of site priority, there is certainly no rush ...

I think there has to be a balance of mods in OTD of people who have differing opinions so that not just one side is heard.

I will only list the NEGATIVE things which IMO don?t qualify you as a moderator, I?m not saying you don?t have many positve properties.

You?re a post whore.
You?re unreliable. ( -> Design team)
You showed utter disrespect (not only disagreement, which per se is ok) for administrative decisions in the past.

I do agree some respect should always be shown for others. HB may have crossed the line before, but we all fuck up sometimes.

I don't know, I think HB has a good heart and would be a good candidate for OTD and to the mod team.

Maybe HB you could share with us your thoughts about OTD as it is now, and any concerns you have.

Don't be shy to criticize, because that is an important trait in a good mod, no 'YES' men need to apply.

Since the Admins are openly discussing this issue in public, let me publicly add my feelings on the matter...

Fair is fair, Anno, and in the sake of balance, I would like to say that those same points apply to me...

I'm a post whore.
I'm unreliable. ( -> OD FAQ)
I have showed utter disrespect (not only disagreement, which per se is ok) for administrative decisions in the past. ( -> 3D and I had a hell of a battle once, but we made up, and all is well :smile: )

People grow and evolve, and HB is at a tender young age where he is shooting up like a bean pole. He has really, IMHO, shown very good judgement, and lighthearted diplomatic ability in these past few months. I think HB could bring some excellent innate skills to the table in terms of being able to work with people through his unique posting style to both diffuse tense situation and keep things light and breezy!

I think we all realize that adding one new OTD Mod would be a good idea, and I still feel, as I have in the past, that HB is deserving and would rise to the occasion. I think there is great promise in him. He is like a little seed, that contains the energy stores and genetic coding, for a brighter tomorrow full of the leafy green foliage of peace and understanding! :grin:

Seriously, Some candidates may not seem right at first, but then they rise to the occasion, and become a very pleasant surprise. I think you may find this is the case with HB. I have thought about this for a while now, and have watched him closely, these past two months, with a jaundiced eye, and I must say, that I think he has shown great potential, of late... :cool:

Re: HB for mod... [Re: HB]
    #1377060 - 03/14/03 08:49 PM (20 years, 10 months ago)

To HB: I think a serious issue that you need to address regarding a modship are your feelings about the sanctity of the Mod forum, and whether the other Mods can trust you not to "tell tales out of school." The Mod forum is a place for the Moderators of this community to speak freely, and hold open debates about the management of this site. Many things get said there in the "heat of battle," and it is important that these things not become rumors and idle gossip which spread, become distorted and misunderstood, and hurt other people's feelings needlessly. We cannot administrate this site effectively without a private place to debate one another, bring up thoughts and new ideas, and make decisions, without the constant static of the mob.

Please address this issue, and explain your feelings on it, and why it is that the other moderators should feel that they can trust you. This has been an important issue lately, and one of the main reasons we haven?t been adding new staff.

Also, remember that being a Moderator involves walking a fine line and trying to fulfill not just the interests of a few members, but of this entire site -- A MYCOLOGY SITE -- and its administration. This means that you will be often in situations where EVERYBODY hates you, but if you accept this fact, and carry on your duties with confidence, concern, and caring, then at least MOST will respect you. Please, also be very sure that you really want this, as it does change the experience for you, and in a way: "once you?re a mod, you?re always a mod" -- it's damned hard to ever go back, once you're on the other side of the looking glass... :wink:

So are you sure about this? Are you ready to accept the yoke of responsibility around your neck, and pull the interests of this entire site, its membership and administration, behind you? If so, then answer this simple question, do you want to take the red pill or the blue pill? :grin:

I know.

What I?d like to see is actually see HB act as he said he would when he would be a mod.
I?d like to see some dedication to the site, some reliability(for instance he could finish that "I?m going to devote all my free time to"....fiasco ).

Prove that you are really worth being a moderator and a valued contributor.

There are already enough people who only like to discuss things instead of DOING something.

Annos's points are well taken, as always, and although I agree with Thor about his candidacy, we are certainly in no hurry here. I would like to hear HB address my concerns about Moderator trust and Mod forum security. I want to know how he feels about these issues before I will render my vote...

There has been too much paranoia around here lately, and I blame some of it on drugs, but a lot of it is also the result of too much idle gossip. Besides being silly, it is counter-productive and damaging to this community. I have gotten to know all of the Admins and most of the Mods here, and they are damn good people who work hard and deserve the respect of this community. Some of the paranoid shit, I see flying around here, is beyond silly, and has made me just want to give up on more than one occasion. This behavior must stop, and the main issue I see right now is fellow Moderator TRUST. I want to hear where HB stands on this. I'm pretty sure that I know, but I want a well-thought-out public statement, so that his potential fellow moderators will feel good about his possible appointment... :smile:

Regarding Anno's comments on my negative qualities (which I accept completely), I do agree that I am, to an extent, a post whore, as my post count shows ... but the kind of "post whore" I am isn't posting to up the count, which I have done in the past but not in a while ... when I post it's because I feel I have something to say, be it very important, or only slightly, but everything I say has meaning to it. If you talked with me in person you'd realize that I only say something if it truly means something to me, so generally I am very quiet. I tend to lose more of my inhibitions when posting, though, so I'll tend to say more. When I post saying "whoopee 17,000 posts", i'm not truly serious about how great it is to have so many posts ... it's just a part of who I am, in a sense, while not actually meaning anything in and of itself ... it's kind of like what color hair you have, it doesn't really necessarily make any difference, it just is a part of who you are ...

I valiantly tried to create themes for the site in the design team, but due to my complete lack of knowledge in HTML and even how to START designing a web theme (even Ythan's tutorial didn't teach me anything ... I only learn from first-hand experience, words tell me nothing) ...

So if I knew how to do that better I'd be on it right away ...

As for showing complete and utter disrespect to administrative decisions in the past ... I think that's saying it a bit harsh ... I may have definitely disagreed with you, but I don't remember ever acting even slightly revolutionary or truly upset about decisions ... but I respect your view on it since I can't see myself from the outside too well, so I won't debate that issue anymore.

And Papaver, I agree that sanctity is a very important issue, but this should not be a worry with me, because I can't recall ever having been a drama queen in OTD, spreading rumors and "I heard from the grapevine that ..." ... if I were a mod, you could be 100% sure that what is inside the mod forum stays inside.

Mr_Mushrooms, like I said above in regards to Anno, my "post whoredom" is no more than being on the shroomery so much of the day and having so much to say that my post count goes up very high. I don't make multiple posts and do long inane dialogues in threads (anymore, I used to do that). My post count shouldn't count against me unless my threads/posts are truly stupid. If I say something it will always have meaning to it, but the amount of meaning is relative to the issue.

I don't know if you feel I am "promoting myself" into a position as mod ... it has been recommended many times by others, including Xone, liquidsmoke, fortyounces2freedom, etc., and when I got to thinking about it, it sounded like a great idea. So I don't believe there is any narcissism or power-tripping behind my wanting to be a mod. My neutrality on all discussions should be a prime example of why you shouldn't worry about me being "full of myself" or anything along those lines.

I hope I covered all the important points, there have been so many posts since my last one that it is hard to keep track of every one, so if I missed anything please point it out to me and I will address it ...

DONE! We need another OTD Mod, and since Anno's concerns have been addressed, and my concerns about "trust" have been answered, let's make it happen! :smile:

Here is the "Red Pill." Remember, you can never really go back. I hope you know what you're doing, but welcome to the other side of the "looking glass" Those of us who are stuck here, welcome some fresh meat! :grin:

"But, and make no mistake about this, there isn't a single mod or admin that I would stand beside when the going gets tough!"
