The admin asked for some volunteers awhile back but it was only temporary.

Totally agree with Draugnar I'm 48 and think I should be a mod.

Vote Maniac - you know it makes sense!

Maniac has my vote.

And Eden, applications were a short term one time only deal. I know of at least one over 40 who volunteered but I could not speak to the individuals qualifications when the criteria is top secret Star Chamber stuff only those in power know. That's right, no transparency in the upper echelon.

Sounds like the Mod team are too old, we need to get some young blood in there, (no Obi not that taken from a Palestinian beach).
Where is the energy in the Mod team nowadays, I think like the program Logans Run Mods should be 'ended' at 25 so we can keep this forum fresh .... the current decay is stupefying.

Draugnar, for goodness sake... it is ageist of *you* to suggest that someone should not be made a mod because they are young!

I personally don't like this decision but that has nothing to do with age.

Should we have 13 year old mods though Jamiet?
13 year olds are clinically more prone to fits of frustration than 30 year olds. You can't ignore the difference

I don't think bo_sox is as young as 13, is he?

No, I'm just saying age is a factor.

Have you never seen Draugnar, Krellin, or on some occasions, even myself, having the occasional frustrated rant? Yet all are over 30.

I think mods should probably be adults but other than that I don't think age should be a factor.

I probably agree. I suggest it should be based upon behaviour.

There are many members whose posts never offend, are wise and insightful, like PE, 2WL, and non-mods wise I particularly think of Tolstoy. Those are good mod material.

An embryonic mod would be a great boon for diversity, and add a fresh perspective to the monthly abortion debates.

someone give this man honorary comedy cubes

Who cares? So many on this site are well into adult years, but act like children. We have a good mod team who has humor. "frickin idiot/ repeat multi" etc. It's cool. This is like Lord of the Flies. Children led by children. :)

"@Tom - If college students have so much time, they aren't doing college right. I don't want a lawyer or physician who spent his time.modding a site instead of studying law or biology."

I aced college while modding, and as a mod I took more cases then any other mod. Well over 1,700 now. I studied CIS and have good job now. The job takes far more time then college ever did. Maybe it was different when you went to school but I feel my experience of more free time in school is pretty accurate of colleges these days.

Draug, based on what I know about you, you don't exactly have what I'd call a "mod's body". 90% of how well you moderate is how you look while doing it. Slim arguments come from slim hips.

"There are many members whose posts never offend, are wise and insightful, like PE, 2WL,..."

"2WL"

Clearly we're reading different posts. Though, that may just be because I find +1 whoring offensive.

You're not as funny without your comedy cube Goldfinger.

Eden can be very offensive. He's mocking our one true president with his very name.

I agree with goldfinger here. +1 whoring is just offensive. Those people are the worst.

Although, to be fair, they can't help themselves, even when they don't mean to be +1 whoring.

+1 this is you think zultar is a +1 whore.

That is just a plain lazy way of trying to ask for +1s.
It's almost as bad as saying "+1 this is you think 2WL is a +1 whore."

Really, you've gotta be more creative/clever than that. :)

+1 this if you think I'm a +1 whore.

+1 this if you want me to figure out a way to delete all of zultar's +1s before he kicks me off the team

"+1 this if you want me to figure out a way to delete all of zultar's +1s before he kicks me off the team"

I can do it, how much are you offering?

One fabulous Klondike Bar.

What this site needs is a +1 mod who makes sure members aren't abusing their +1 powers.
