Windows moderator required - suggestions?

Trojan

As the topic says, this forum needs a dedicated mod. Do the regular users have any particular suggestions?

While I'd love to nominate myself, Capt'n midnight is the clear winner here, Not to mention he wouldn't make smart-assed comments like Moriarty. Make him the mod here.

Captain Midnight declined the job - asked before xmas - as did Sico (who suggested CM).

Of course, qwertz, you realise that anyone who nominates themselves probably is not the right candidate

Names, more names, lots of suggestions and nominations...

i've always love the windows forum, was a great read for me, but since technology was renamed to computers everything (software-ish)have been stuck in there.

i still love reading the windows forum as it's great as you know microsoft products don't always run 100% brilliant all the time and you can usually find your answer to your problems there.

It still needs a mod though!

qwertz

Alright. You you you

You do realise that Trojan has no say whatsoever about who gets mod.

He's probably just killing time or playing with people's heads or summat.



My vote now goes to that Colm{MSFT} or whatever guy. He knows Windows anyway.

I've been asking for a mod for this forum for some time and believe that Dev will mod whoever is judged best for the job.

Colm{MSFT} -- works for MSFT?

Yes he does. I once reported a problem on here and he was able to reproduce it on a machine in Microsoft. MSN was sending me to the South African site if I used Ireland as my region. It seems to be fixed since msn.ie launched.

*begin shameless plug* I think I'd make a good mod on here, I'm a certified field service technician and can do pretty much anything with Windows. I'm familiar with all of the following versions: 1.0, 2.03, 3.00a, 3.1, NT 3.1 and 3.51, 95, NT 4.0 WS, 98, ME, 2000 Pro and Advanced Server, XP Home & Pro, 2003, XP AMD64, whew. C'mon, test me!!

Windows is my life, lol, I'm never away from it! Although I'd recommend Colm(MSFT) when I'm not blowing my own trumpet.

The admins ahve the final say and plugging yourself as a mod really doesnt go down well with Devore. He has a little black book of all the people who have wanted to be mod.

How'd he end up as a mod in the first place?
Btw is there anyone else here who can think of a good mod for this forum?
Come on, Anyone?

PowerHouseDan

I Think i would make a good mod, I have a knowledge of Windows as studying it in college, Have access to boards, All Day everyday.And Think i am mature enough to Mod the task in question.But i would like to say Mutant_Fruit otherwise.

Capt Midnight gets my vote

Infini

He was already ruled out, Unfortunately. I would have nominated Cyberghost who browses this forum occasionaly but he's not interested. Anyone else know anyone?

joePC

I was very active on the Computer / Windows forums a couple of months ago (Got pee'ed off answering the same Q's all the time)
Anyways if your stuck let me know,

Thanks, JoePC

Plus one for JoePC in my book.

Cake Fiend

I seem to recall Colm[MSFT] posting some Windows-biased ocksboll on the Unix forum a few times in the past. It's no use having someone with a lot of Windows knowledge here if they're unfairly biased.

Also, there's no requirement that the mod here knows Windows backwards either. More important is an interest in the forum itself, and a level head.

And to contradict everything I've posted above, I vote Moriarty! Sometimes entertainment is more valuable to me than diplomacy

Oh dear god don't make him a mod here! I'd nominate joePC for the job. I'm interested in the job myself but as long as the new mod here is fair and doesn't have a rep for provocative sarcasm I'd be happy enough.

Thats what stickies are for.

A moderator doesnt necessarily need to have detailed knowledge(although useful) of the forum. Just has to make sure that the content is relevant to the forum and people are posting material that doesnt go against boards.ie rules.

Colm[MFST] was very helpful to people when the likes of SP2 came out.

JoePC, ya get my vote. Maybe a poll of all the interested candidates would prove useful.

Cremo and Infini seem good candidates in my eyes.

thanks for the vote,

i see where joepc is coming from answering the same questions all the time, but that's bound to happen on a community like boards

+1 :: nod of agreement tbh.

i say dogs :: with the modding style of 'security' this forum could be fun

True, true, Maybe some good stickys would sort that out. Anyways looks like the 2 year rule is coming into play. Im out by a few months,

Thanks for the votes:

Infini
Dempsey

Sounds overly harsh tbh - 1 yearish with a decent visit frequency would be enough surely?

Infini

That rule doesn't seem right. It should be anyone over 500 posts at least and who can provide a reasonable opinion without being a smart-ass about it.

BTW if we can't nominate JoePC then nominate Cremo!

mad m

JoePC helped me in this section a few times and was very nice,mannerly bloke when i bought stuff off him also.

Infini

I wonder when we'll find out who's the new mod. It seems to be down to to myself, JoePC and Cremo by the looks of it.

Names in a hat please.Not bad having a choice of three good candidates.Goodluck to whoever might be considered/picked...

go on you know you want to

Challenge Accepted!!

Fine I put up a poll. At least we might get an idea of who would be the best mod. Vote in it if ya want. Besides it might be less of a headache for the Admin's.

Trojan

I'll ask Tom.

I voted on the poll.

It seems that my vote has more weight.... interestink...

Infini

Haha that's funny!! Guess the mystery is solved!!

Moriarty

I want to find out who actually voted for me o_0

Infini

I thought you voted for yourself.

Moriarty

I'm not that narcissistic.

I can certify that Moriarty didn't vote for himself.
