Moderators?

[Big Mike]

I don't post much anymore, but I still peruse the the new posts a couple times every weekday.

I feel like I've transitioned from a parenting type role, to more of a grandparent type roll. I'm not going to scold anyone for not eating their vegetables or engaging in a bit of horseplay. But I'll still offer up bits of wisdom when something catches my interests.

At 33,560 posts, I'm sure you are tired of repeating yourself Mike.

Bring out the Banhammer! LETZ GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!

I will make it easy for them.

AHEM...

I have views about religion and politics.

Oh, thank goodness it's only views.

Now if you had "opinions", then it may be more problematic. Especially if you expressed them. And they clashed with someone else's opinions masquerading as self-evident truth.

For instance, what are your firmly-held opinions about the foundations of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Hmmm? Hmmm?
Oh, and before you answer that, keep in mind that they are not on speaking terms with the followers of the Temple of the Glowing Orb. Apparently there is a violent disagreement about the sanctity of colanders and the appropriateness of their use.

It seems that most of the Moderators are no longer actively here.
Overread is the only constant presence, Pixmedic, Manaheim and Mishele make themselves visible on and off while Big Mike, Terri and others are essentially no shows.

Is it that, by the time someone gets trusted enough, they are on th downward slope of commitment?

I say we make derrel and my self moderators. TPF will be peaceful as ever! Yin and Yang!

I think the moderators having been moderating less and less since the cleansing of last fall.
Very few posting attacks nowadays, so less moderating needed.

it really has been a lot quieter here lately....
just a phase perhaps.
plus, we all had to adjust to the new GUI here and figure out where the ban buttons were.

 

[astroNikon]

maybe on the right hand side where we have Forum Statistics, Active Topics, Staff Online, etc
we could add "Recently Banned"


Then we'd know the moderators are watching all the time

we need a Ban Counter at the bottom of the page.

And a "Bans by Mod" stat too.. it could be like a competition. In fact I think there should be monthly mod prizes for the most bans, most spectacular ban...

Oh, that has possibilities. There'll be a section called "Permanently banned", "Penalty box", "On probation", and "Short-list for banning".
On the moderator profiles, there would be a ban counter.
And just to make it interesting, on the first of the month, the "disagree" button changes to a "ban" button. Anyone accumulating more than (say) 10 user-voted bans would get put into the penalty box.
Then we need a "pardon" button on the second day of the month, where anyone in the Penalty Box could get "pardoned" if 10 users (or more) vote to pardon him/her/it.

Highschool politics would have NOTHING on this little gig!
