Elect a mod

[Cheesecake]

Sooooo, it apparently does seem smart to have a mod so they can remove spam or personal info if need be.
JennyBee has indicated that she's fine with remaining mod, but is fine with a co-mod or another mod as well.

That means we should probably elect someone.

Hence, the poll.

If you vote for anyone else than JennyBee, please nominate yourself or someone else. If the result is that we want someone in addition to/instead of JennyBee, I suggest we'll see if the nominated people are willing and able and have an election between them.

Thanks for organizing this NL! :-)

[Waffles]

Happy for Jennybee to stay on but it might be good to have someone else too in case she's not around. Has anyone else volunteered?

[dulcemariamar]

I agree with Valerie. I am happy Jenny is around but since it seems IN nesties travel more, it would be a great idea to have somebody else around when she is away on vacay.

[blushing]

I think we should have JennyBee and somone in a different time.

[RITS]

If people are wanting a second mod, then I think ukyankee would be great. I think she was an excellent mod before but I don't know if she'd want to do it again.

I was actually thinking this too - especially since we're a 24/7 kind of board! :-P

That was my thought -- we all all over, so our board is much more 24/7 than the other boards.

[Cheesecake]

What timy zone are you in Jenny? I'm superfine with ukyankee if she wants too, but it seems logical to do somewhat opposite time zones.

[dulcemariamar]

I think UKYankee is a great choice. Do we have any volunteers from the States?

[RITS]

Or Australia?

[jennybee1018]

Um, a quick google search says we are GMT +3 Hours. Right now it's 3:18 PM! And I think we're 2 hours behind Europe?

[ktkl09]

Somewhere in Asia or Australia? Maybe Publius?

[clogged]

I wouldn't mind 3 or 4. Always someone at hand in an emergency that way.

[pittpurple]

Kelly volunteered in another thread, that's a different time zone. And I think having a few would be better - between the time zones and all the travelling we're lucky enough to do, the more the better.

[dorothyinAus]

I've never been a Mod, but if we want/need someone on Australia time, I'll volunteer -- but I may need some coaching from jennybee.

edited to add: It's bedtime now here, I'll check back in the morning.

[crimsonandclover]

I'm only on US time until September - then I'm back to GMT+1. I agree that having a few different time zones and a few moderators would be a good idea with all of the traveling and posting at varying hours that goes on on this board. I wouldn't mind being a mod but definitely would not want to be the only one, and I think it's also a good idea if there are a few (for traveling / time zone purposes). If we decide two is enough, then it wouldn't make sense for me to be one in addition to Jennybee since we're only 2 hours apart (or will be again in Sept). We should pick someone in Western Asia / Australia or the US, as others have suggested.

I don't think there's anyone on this board I would object to being a mod, so I'm ok with whoever wants to do it.

[pseudoagain]

I'll put myself forward as I'm in the US. It's Pseudo by the way

[clickerish]

Fine. So I'm the only one who just cares about the Band_Geek. I can accept that...But I also vote for anybody plus one or two. Share the wealth!

[Cheesecake]

If I recap what's said and voted here:
Everyone wants Jenny to remain mod. So that's settled.
Jenny herself let us know she'd like a co-mod. So I guess that's a no-brainer too, right?

Crimsonandclover is willing and able, but close to JennyBee in time
DorothyinAus is willing and obviously in Australian time zone
Riversong (formarly pseudo) is in the US and is willing as well.

I propose we vote JennyBee, DorothyinAus and RiverSong into office and appoint Crimsonandclover as a vice-mod, in case someone decides they've had enough of being a mod.

Do we need to put a poll in for that?

(And to appease the 2 votes, would one of you be willing to change their name to Band_Geek? (or should you 3 set up a mod-account together which you have login info for and call that account Band Geek. Yes, I am trying to please everyone here, if I can.)

[pseudoagain]

It would probably be easier just to set up one mod acct so that we can login whenever.

[clickerish]

Set up a mod account and call yourself Band_Geek!!! What does it say about my day if this is the highlight?

[lolo]

I agree that setting up a mod account sounds like a good plan. In addition to those listed above, I'd suggest that Meggers or Kelly take a mod role.

I like the idea of a mod account, that way nobody knows which one it is that's doing the "dirty work" if it's called for and we don't have a reenactment of what happened to one of our past mods.

Sounds like a great idea. I'm fine with being vice-mod, mod, nothing, whatever.

And, um, what happened to one of the past mods? That was before my time.

[jennybee1018]

I think the Mod account is a great idea! Should I set up the account?

Then RiverSong, Kelly and who ever else will be a co-mod can email me for the login/password.
Does that work for you ladies?

[jennybee1018]

Oops meant to add they can email me at jennybee1018 at gmail dot com :-)

Seconded.

I've sent you a message via Gmail Jennybee

[crimsonandclover]

Thanks, Jenny. I also sent you an email
