There should be certain Criteria for this process and those who are nominated via a committee of four mods and Alex himself because they are the higher up in the community.

How would that work because people have ask the question over and over again. A nominating process is better suit for the idea.

I have seen an application process on the nsider forum. When it first opened after the one shut down on the Nintendo website. People had to apply to be a mod. They had to say what their experience was and all and what they would do as a mod and why they want to be a mod.
Lot of them were approved and lot of them were ejected. I dunno if the board is still there but I think the application thing has closed since the mods have been found.

I think that there should be a couple more mods. I would if I simply had TIME (I would for the summer, but I'm sure you don't want a temporary mod), because I LOVE rules.
I think that there should be a place to say that we're interested in being a mod, but NOT to beg, just to say that we would if you wanted us to. It's a big honor after all!

People express interest in being a mod when they demonstrate concern for the well-being of the community by routinely reporting problems to mods.

I agree with that statement of yours, Mark.

When I start my forum, I'm going to have a Mod Waiting List for people to decide whether they want to be a mod, and then I would choose a mod depending on the best behaved one on the list. I don't want to give mod jobs to people who have no interest in being mods.

Oh, and regards to that statement of yours MrMark, does that mean that Strapples fits in with that statement?

Good point. So your saying that Strapples winges then.

Is whingeing a misspelling of whining?

When did WP become a republic? We are a benevolent dictatorship under Alex with the help of the mods. This system has worked pretty well, and I see no reason to change it. Doing so would introduce forum politics to WP, which could only lead to trouble.

There just ideas doesn't mean it should be like that. Personally too many people ask to be mods when they should just be patient and keeping reporting problems when mods are needed.

I just want to say how well I think this site is moderated. My congratulations to the mods.

I've been on other sites where the moderation is so ruthless that at least 20% of the posts get deleted - any hint of controversy and wham entire thread gone. And god help anyone who criticises the moderation - they get banned. That particular site seems to exist almost entirely of newcomers because regulars soon get fed up of posts disappearing and quit visiting or posting.

On the other hand, places like unmoderated usenet forums often get chocked with spam and vicious flame wars and can be unpleasant places to use.

The balance seems to be just right here in my opinion. I seldom come across any posts I find offensive, but there is plenty of healthy debate.

For God's sake, never enter the PPR forum! Otherwise you'll shatter that blessed illusion.

LOL. PPR doesn't even count. Half the time we're just arguing for the heck of it in there. But hey, at least it's a good safety valve for any argumentative temperaments.
