How long should a moderator be appointed for?

How long should a "Moderator" be allowed to moderate?

In the interest of a fair deal for all on this forum I am suggesting that moderators should only moderate for a maximum of - 6 Months, at any given voluntary period.

They move bank Managers regularly in the real world to "stop" favouritism? why not also on a forum?

Yours,

Yellum,

As this thread will probably get locked very quickly. I thought I had better reply fast.

Thanks, but no thanks. I would like to try and retain some sanity and power corrupts etc, etc.

Merry Xmas.

Thanks Paddy20 , god bless. Fair Play.

There shouldn't be a time limit on how long a moderator should be allowed moderate a forum, as long as they are doing a good job, - which in the case of the IrelandOFFLine forum, both Dustaz and sceptre are.

Do you have a problem with the moderators here, Paddy?

This discussion, however valid, is essentially off topic here and is better suited to the Admin forum.

they can't hand over the job till you've been straightened out first Paddy20. As soon as you are officially declared a 'success' the mods will be appointed to pastures new.

If they are doing a good job then why change them. And I think we will all agree that the lads here do a good job.

Paddy I get the feeling you have too much time to think about things or your just pissed off they moved a few of your posts

ROFLMAO!!!!

Brilliant!

Can you be commissioned for future works adam ?

Those arent Adams, they are from The Gathering, a collection of Magic The Gathering like cards that we can play on repetitive muppets and common situations.

Now, as to the Moderators. The answer is "until the admins agree to change them". That is USUALLY preceeded by a moderator resigning, or a community upheaval where they are unhappy with a mod's actions (as has happened before, though it is very rare).

I do think its cute when people do that "voting" thing... *bless*


Paddy, why is it YOU that always has these problems? You are ALWAYS complaining about the moderators of this board.
Snide comments and the like are hardly endearing you to them either. They've a tough job to do (a job you have said you wouldnt be willing to do) and they are human.

Personally I think the IOFFL mods have been some of the best we have had on Boards, both past *and* present, and it would take a lot to change my mind.

By the way, I think Dusty and sceptre are fine just where they are. I think they should be made do it even if they don't want to. With whips and chains and stuff*.

adam

*Although this may encourage sceptre.

spongebob

Thats it from absolute high then

Now the MODS have no option but to control Paddy20....and be seen to control Paddy20 more to the point.

Very Gnomic Dev

Dustaz

Arrghh. I get a text message in work for this ?:)

I think Devore answered your question Paddy. Admin is probably the best forum to follow this up if you want.
