Thats a list of all the current moderators (although some no longer are here).

It also depends if Baldrick is looking for new moderators or not, in my case (and I think Galactica's) we were brought in because of older moderators not visiting the site anymore and also because of Vitualis going on holidays. -

So between 9:30pm CST and 8:30am CST I'm usually off and on the board.
My lightest days for the board are Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights as those are my days off, but I'm usually still on at SOME Point, kinda like now.
I thought it was because Bldrick offered moderator status to anyone who wrote a guide that week, no?
How to become a mod? No clue, but if you post alot of help people and have a good attitude then I think it will come alot faster, though there is never a promise that it will come.
Often I pretend not to like the job, but I do. Just remember its a mixed reaction. Whenver something annoying is happening on the board, you can no longer just ignore it. If a thread no longer interest you, then you still have to keep at least a partial eye on it. And most users fight back against your every warning reguardless of how clearly they are breaking the rules. -

Whenever I visit the site (most days), I am both a regular user and a Mod. Being a mod just adds some extra responsibility and 'powers' (for want of a better word), such as the abilities to lock threads etc. It doesn't really require much special attention, though I do take more notice of some threads that wouldn't normally interest me, if they seem to be getting a bit hot! -
I think they should be voted in by the members. Based on wit and humor I cast my vote for Will Hay, I love reading some of his posts.

Having been a mod on a (at the time) major board, I can tell you it's a thankless job. The number of PM's from whiners can be overwhelming! Then there are moderator politics and differences of opinions that can reduce the effectiveness of the system.
Ultimately this site comes down to Baldric and how he handles the Moderators. Without the benefit of the private forums, I can only see the the results, and they seem to be working. I've never seen a site introduce new ideas so quicklyTo Be, Or, Not To Be, That, Is The Gazorgan Plan -

I fear I may not be such the model member you need to be to be offered such a job, although who knows, if I ever did it may change me into a different person - which nobody would like, right?
I'm sure I wouldn't post half as much (of the) content I do now

The number one deciding factor is need. If the site needs more mods, then Baldrick goes looking for more mods. There is no time requirement. I was made a mod after a little less than 4 months. I had roughly 300 posts at the time, but there was a need for more help in the Mac forum. So Baldrick posted "Is anyone interested in being a mod" and I said yes. So I pm'ed him with why I would do a good job. Once he stopped laughing he felt sorry for me and gave the the position.

oh, are we supposed to stop feeling sorry for you at some point......? oops!

Wow,
All the mods are spending their time here.
Would one of you allow me to send a post that you locked the thread on, before I could click Submit, because I am such a slow typist?
I have PM'd Flaystus, but he may be busy-off for the night.
Should I just start a new thread? -

I didn't know Sefy was a mod.
The only times I've seen his posts was when someone was in dire need of help.
Have to look for blue text next time. -
Please don't vote for Willhay, he voted Churchhill out of office in the late 40's. This would set a trend on this site. Just kidding, trying to have a good attitude. By the way Willhay do you live in one of those train crossing houses like in that British KIds Show about the little Blue Engine?

I think Will would make a good moderator. He seems to have a good head on his sholders.....his sons :P
J/K Will. -
No Willhay not an enemy. I served in the UK for 5 years and enjoyed my stay. Just hated that dam M.O.T. tax as well as the TV tax. I passed through many of your towns that had railway stations and can recall that they each must of had a wonderful history. Take care friend. I live 10 miles south of the Jesse James home. Funny huh?

My username is based on a wonderful comic actor of the 1930's and 40's (even though I'm only 32) who starred in a film (among many others) called Oh Mr porter!, a great film but will no doubt not appeal to many!

Did you actually buy it, or perhaps see it on tv?
