MODERATION - APPOINTEE should be decided by the group. --- > not by application without this group's review.
There, I've said it. As others have said, most of this group has been together since AlGore invented the internet. Its dynamic should not be stifled.
We know how to behave, occasional political talk is OK by many, as is discussion of medical and health issues, as it all adds to what otherwise would be a bored board.
We are DEFINITELY NOT PC. And Proud of it. BTW, that may not be tolerable at SI, so we may have to occasionally pull our heads in on some issues while we're on SI.
That may limit our time here at SI, if we cannot interact as we have done @ voy. We were unrestricted before, apart from Pyrite's infrequent intervention, and more recently Norwester, Earl and a few others acting as Mod's. We were, in most instances, managed very well, and with very little interference.
I'd like to propose a moderator headed by that same group here, for continuity purposes, and also because we know they have not been heavy-handed in their mod roles.
With respect to Trinovant, I wish I knew something about how you would moderate this board. Which is why I'd prefer a known mod. Or at the very least, a well-known poster who would rarely intervene --- perhaps someone like Frus, Roan, Mugwump. The mod has the capability to upset the status quo, and lose posters, so it's not a decision to be taken lightly.
OK I've said my piece, now I'll STFU. |
