Since you asked, I'll state that I don't want to be a moderator. Not entirely to avoid responsiblity, but my computer is quirky and I can't always/reliably access some threads or boards.

That's a shame, FC. I think you and EDE would make excellent Moderators. I hope you both reconsider. The Moderator gig is for fun. Don't let all of this serious mumbo-jumbo scare you guys off. Also, your computer can't be anymore wacky than the one I'm using.
This message board was meant to be fun. I think some of you guys are taking things a little too seriously. Leave those tedious details to Lightning Lad .
Discaimer to the above statement: I really appreciate you guys caring enough to provide us with feedback. Thanks.

I, too, am sorry you do not want to be a moderator at this time Fat Cramer. But that does not mean you can't change your mind later on.
And I apologize if I seem to be sucking the fun out of this. I just want to be sure, especially on this issue, that everyone gets a chance to be heard.

"Sucking the fun out"? Don't worry, amigo mio, you're not. It's better to thrash through some of these matters in advance, if possible. It prevents a lot of non-fun coming down later.

Oh sure, KP. You don't think I see through your plans for the Transformer takeover of Legion World? You just want a wussy moderator like me to make it easy for you.
See, I'm already off topic. Back on topic:

Elections?? Elections?? I say damn this experiment with democracy. Put Lightning Lad and Nightcrawler in as King Emperor's or tyrant/dictator. Pish with this listening to the plebs
Actually being serious for a min. Whilst I am all in favour of getting people in to help take some of the pressure off these two guys, Do we really need that many people as Mods. I dont know much about the mechanics of moderating (which i guess lets me out of the job) but unless there are, as was suggested, some guidlines will it not become a case of too many cooks?
Not serious concerns because I am happy to go with the flow. just random thoughts

Thanks KP (and Nighty, too!), but really the whole Legion HQ thing scared me off from the moderator job for the time being. It turned out to be a MUCH bigger deal than I was expecting, and, while I've no doubt that these boards would be much easier, I don't want to take the chance of committing myself to more than I really can handle.

Put me on the list of DON'T WANT TO BE A MODERATOR please!
What was really just a sweet gesture over at LHQ (being elected a Mod) became a 'net nightmare of monolithic proportions and I (as well as the other Mods) was caught between the "Why aren't you DOING something" and the "What the hell are you DOING?" rock and hard place. It was a Lose-Lose situation, and I don't like those.
I agree with Cru, the LMB has always been an excellent self-moderated forum and I am sure that will continue.
But I agree that Scott & Gary need others to help out and give them down-time, and there may come a time when LEGION WORLD may need defendng from 'net hooligans. There should be others who have the power to do that. Scott & Gary can't be everywhere.

Would board wide mods elected for a 6 month period be better than 1/3 of the registered users being mods be better?
Elect 3 - 5 board wide mods, and loosely assign areas to watch.
Or
Elect 1 mod for each forum, and up to 3 board mods.
At anothe board I moderate at, I've been a board mod, and it seems to be a little better for me than being a forum mod...I've done both, and have been an admin there...it gives you the ability to move/fix things when you see them, and provides more even coverage if one mod is away for a while.
Just some thoughts...

I have to say that I think I agree with Dave/Dev on the number of mods, unless perhaps we are going to allow people, if voted in, to be mods on more than one board. That might cut down the numbers a bit.

Well my weekend got pissed away and I didn't get a chance to even start this process. I'm going to give it another week for some more discussion and maybe get some more members in the group.
And I don't see a problem with letting someone moderate in more than one forum, as long as we don't have the same moderators in all forums.
