I've been toying with the idea of becoming a moderator |
|
What do you guys think? I applied this last time, but wasn't picked.
I found that somewhat disappointing, but then again, I'm wondering if it might be for the best. I mean, how much would I have to change how I post? Am I better off as a free agent, as it were?
Thoughts?

1. I'm not sure about your second question |
|
But in my opinion the biggest factor is to put aside bias towards posters and towards their ideas when you need to determine what needs to be regulated--just a guess. And will D.U. allow a defender of kerry to become a mod? Maybe they prefer people who haven't already declared themselves to like a candidate.
I don't know....

2. I would think that if I continued to defend Kerry in a civil manner it |
|
wouldn't be a problem. But mods are probably expected to stay out of fights.
Free agent in that I'm free to say what I like within the rules. And maybe I'd have to stifle myself too much. And if I have a problem with something, there's always the alert button. Sometimes I wonder what the mods think of my explanations, but they probably get so many alerts they don't know mine from Adam's.
I've been known to alert on Kerrycrat and non-Kerrycrat alike when I thought something they said was against the rules. I also try to keep an open mind. I'm not even sure if I was in the running this time. But it sounded like an interesting job, and one I thought I could do.
But like I said, I might have to stifle myself too much.
Just trying to decide if I'll try again at some point.
And will y'all still love me if I become one of the trustees? ;)

4. About that "would DU allow a Kerry person to mod?" question... |
|
I noted that unblock retired after his/her last term as a mod. Not that this necessarily means anything--I've seen other mods slam Kerry, defend Dean/Clark or other folks, and stay on. I haven't pm'd unblock about it--and I believe mods are prohibited from discussing behind-the-scenes stuff anyway--so I have no idea what the circumstances are. I'm not sure this is a good idea for you, LC. I think you're one of our most restrained, reasonable forum members, but--modding here in this climate would require a LOT of composure and not just in regard to Kerry.
