who should mod AH

WhiteWashMan

ho ho.

ok, so since i have gone on my 'let the sheep shepherd themselves' behaviour experiement (which is being quite successful by the way ) for AH, i have decided that we need to get some additional Mods in here so that i dont lose all of my hair.
besides, im really busy doing some actual work, and technically, im not even a mod of this forum anyway

so, whats this about new mods, well, there are a number of moderators that arent active here anymore, so i figured we shold get some more in and toss out those other losers that find other things in life more interesting than AH (as if! i hear you all cry!)

i have earmarked one person, but i'd like everyone to nominate 2 users they feel should be mods of AH, and give us a reason why as well. that would be nice.
lets all say something nice about some people, and at the end we can have a group hug.

as always, this is for suggestion, it does not mean that if every single person nominates pighead he will actually become a mod (god forbid, besides, ruthie would kill me if pighead could make suggestive sexual advances in the mod forum)

so let me know what you think.

Dub13

I have a lot of spare time lately and can help out if I am needed,but a vote/poll sounds good.

WhiteWashMan

2 minutes in and you didnt even read what it said did you?

Dave!

DaveMcG
Pighead

Terry

that tar chick.
he could correct all the spelling errors in thread titles.
can't really think of anyone else.

Of course I did....there is only 30sec reading on your OP.

biko

I nominate Ruu - level-headed, helpful and all-round sound guy.

Will get back to you on 2nd nomination.

Surely that's a plus in favour of Pighead?

i was just about to edit my post to suggest him.
he can do the night shift (poor bastard) because he's a few hours behind most of us.

jcoote

ruu gets my vote too he's on here a lot and is a good guy from what i've seen

2nd nomination shold be a night timer eg someone that works nights is nocturnal or whatnot

Creamy Goodness

we need more people to mod with the iron fist approach tbh...

i nominate Tar oh and myself if that's allowed.

Tar, can be serious and is a spell czecher (i think)

myself, veteran non noobie boards user.

The Gnome

Ruu - Because he's not actually Japanese as I thought.

Monkeyfudge - Because every thread could be edited to involve monkeys

Beruthiel

Shut yer face Gordie!

Don't worry about me wwm, I can always just ban him from the Mod forum if he doesn't toe the line.

Unearthly

Only really been reading AH for about 2 months so my suggestion mightn't be as strong as others, but anyway, I'd go for Ruu. Only cause he seems a nice guy, recognise the name, and contributes well

EDIT: oops sorry forgot 2nd user...........erm I'll go for......dub13 cause he wants it

Pighead

Pighead has 2 people in mind for the job. He also has 2 he thinks are probably in the running but would be pants at the job.

Hagar: Sensible, has a cracking sense of humour and most importantly is probably the best looking over 40 year old on boards. The lad was born for this role. Hagar the Honorable for Mod.

OFDM: Hes organised the Survivor contest with panache and style and showed he can handle mob mentality when he told Tar to pipe down in the breast challenge. Hes been waiting for this job for years and Pighead thinks now is the time.

Sparky S: Too young and licks Mod bottoms too much. Needs to develop a spine before hes ready for the back breaker of a job that is After Hours Mod.

Sarky: Hates me. Thats good enough reason for Pighead.


PS: Tell that Beruthial chick to loosen her knickers and stop pretending she doesn't get turned on by Pigheads slimy sexual advances.

Dub13

I second Hagar

projectmayhem

I'd say Ruu also, since he's active and level-headed...
Pighead, because it'd be hilarious

or me

Hobbes

Dub13 and pighead.

Sengoku79

I nominate Ruu and Tar

I would also be willing to do it

Dave!

Votes changed to

Ruu
Pighead

Ruu FTW

tSubh Dearg

I'd like to nominate Monkeyfudge cause he likes monkeys and I think that AH need more pro-monkey moderators.

I would also nominate Ruu as he is lovely.

The End.

InFront

Pighead and Ruu ftw

Wildcard: CSG!

Sleepy

My two nominations:

Julep - He spends a lot of time in here and seems a decent chap.
Sarky - To put some fear into the plebs.

Or can we ask Monty if he'd mind donating some DNA for a cloning experiment?

Spastafarian

I also nominate pighead because he would be a fair mod with balanced opinions and excellent people skills.
And I'll jump on the Ruu bandwagon I suppose.

Zapp Brannigan

I say Pighead for the comedy value.

And Ruu for just a genuinely good and cool poster.

The only way it can be described as the 'down the pub' forum now is if you put a curfew on it: After Hours is for the discussions that take place in the pub after 10.30pm, when everyone's locked, discretion has been thrown to the wind, everybody's got a loud opinion that may not be necessarily based in fact, someone will punctuate the discussion by playing tunes in their armpit, someone else may throw their drink over the topic starter, someone will start to cry, a bunch of people will demand that the conversaton be taken seriously and therefore move to a different venue and everyone who's left will continue on, talking utter rubbish on a random subject, fighting sporadically, juggling beermats, being sick in the toilets, dancing on the tables, changing the subject by the second and eventually falling over.

After reading this, MAJD gets my vote (though I think she'll probably kill me for even suggesting it).

Shabadu

Monkeyfudge, Sarky & Pighead. LOLZ

lostexpectation

OFDM
Hagar

not any mods who don't have a lighthearted attitude

Deffo agree, Ruu and DaveMG get my nominations.

LadyJ

What about Coolock guy?

edit: Wait,it was Coolock_Lad!

Femelade

i vote Ruu too cos he's very ..kind to me.
and my second vote goes to.....i dunno..me!?

weemcd

Sarky + Pighead

Oriel

Cremo for one.
The grammar would pick up around AH if I was mod, and I think that's reason enough

Karoma

I nominate Ruu - level-headed, helpful and all-round sound guy... It'd be good for him to lose all of those qualities.

Hagar - has a sense of humour, usually quite even-handed and takes his time to explain mod'ing decisions, and can be tough when needed.

*bows* Thanks for the vote(s) of confidence chums. I am awake when the rest(of the regular mods) are tucked away in their leabas because I'm in the US. I would be going to bed when ye lot are getting up. 24hr surveillance ftw.

raheny red

Ruu ftw

monkeyfudge
Ruu

Coolsmileygirl
Kiera

Agamemnon

Pighead - for the barrel of laughs.

Pocari Sweat - for the weirdness of him banning people by waffling on about sweeping the floor or cutting his toenails.

hullaballoo

I'd nominate Ruu - Damn nice guy and vigilant as we all know.

Dirk Gently

pighead and coolsmileygirl

(seriously)

LadyJ

Pighead and Shabadu. That'd be fairly interesting I'd say....

Lump

None of the people mentioned so far.

connundrum

Ruu #1 Ruu #1 Ruu #1

Yup, the man is in AH 24/7.

As someone said Pighead for the commedy factor. And bring back WWM!

Sparky

Ruu as he helps well in every forum I have seen.

Pighead knows me too well, so I'm out so

tman

Ruu seems to have the required amount of cop on...
not sure who else though

Zapp Brannigan

Someone should give me a vote.

I'd be the unknown mod, with a radical style of thinking!

ST*

My vote goes to Ruu.

But something to throw into the mix - what about mod rotation? Chosen canditates share-mod the forum for an agreed period of time, then switch over. It is a busy forum, anyone would get a pain in the arse with it after a while. Just a thought.
