Global Mod Elections: Round 1

[EllieArroway]

We need more global mods. These are mods with the power to create/edit boards and ban users. On top of that, they act as a mod on any board in an emergency situation (eg delete personal info that has been posted when the board's regular mod is away).

Global mods need to be online often and very active in the community. You also need to have access to a browser--admin functions aren't available on the app. Previous/current mod experience is nice. Experience with Proboards is also nice, but not necessary.

This round will be volunteer only. Please respond to this thread to throw your name in the hat if you feel like you are qualified & interested in being a global mod. Please do not use this thread to campaign for yourself or your friends--though you are welcome to create your own threads to do that.

In 24 hours this thread will close, and we will create a poll to vote on the volunteers.

Sadly, I am online often enough to qualify for this position lolol

[scattered]

I'll do it.

[Deleted]

I'd be willing. I'm the Child Free Thoughts mod, but I think I could handle another one as well. I'm the Pets mod on TN.

[pixy0stix]

I volunteer as well.

Well crap, we have to post our qualifications?
Active poster of TN/TB for 9 years.
Always online.
Moderator of F&B, PCE, CD, and Photography back on the homeland.
Power hungry and willing to abuse power.

Does that qualify me as a loser or what? ;D

[alabasterangel]

I volunteer as tribute.

Oh honey . . .

[jennlin]

I'd like to volunteer- I was a former mod on theknot, back in wedding planning stages.

[verandah]

Will global mods still mod their boards if they have one?

[flex]

I volunteer to be a global mod if it's okay to be a normal mod too.

[Deleted]

I'll volunteer to be a Mod.

ETA: I just started posting yesterday.

Yes.

Unless I'm mistaken about who she is, there is no way in hell alabaster angel should be mod of her own toenails, much less a global mod.

If that means I have to pull my hat from the ring because I'm a hot mess heifer, I'll gladly do so if it means that grade A douchecanoe doesn't get her grubby paws anywhere near a mod sitch.

Of course I could be wrong about who that username belongs to but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

[pseudoagain]

I'm putting my hat in the ring. I've been around since the dawn of Nest time.

I'm about 98% certain you're not mistaken.

I don't think you are mistaken. The avatar photo is the same that was used on her blog.

[Deleted]

Then the idea of her being mod is only begging for fuckery.

To be fair, her blog was passed around (and laughed at) on several boards. Anyone could have saved the picture and used it.

[humpty]

True, but the familiarity she has with others on CFT doesn't seem like it would be anyone else.

[Deleted]

Yeah, CFT is claiming her. So if she's a fake, they don't know it.

Also, if everyone else knows what I'm talking about, then I'm not mistaken. It didn't occur to me she might be an imposter. I was just thinking maybe my memory was off and it was another poster entirely who was responsible for that over the top nastiness.

I know what you are talking about and I think you're right...

[statlerwaldorf]

I'll throw my hat in the ring. I bounced around between boards on the nest, so I'm pretty familiar with most of them. I'm usually on late into the night. I think it might be helpful to make sure that we have some early morning, afternoon, and late night nesties (err gbcn-ers?).

[Nonny]

[twotrue]

Well I'll need a good campaign manager to go up against hab and pixy but i'd be happy to do it.

[KateAggie]

I think there's only one way to solve this.



Yeah, that's right. GIF off.

[EllieArroway]

So I'm trying to remain impartial, but if you've been here a week and you only have a handful of posts then you don't meet the 'very active' qualification.

And ala... seriously? Besides the fact that I'm baffled that you think you qualify, why would you even want to be in the spotlight again after what happened last time?

Let's get real here.

If you are refering to me I mostly just wanted to post that gif.

No, not you. But your gif freaking cracked me up.

Just checking.
I saw that and had to share. The GIF wars always seem to happen when I'm busy and can't play, so this seemed like a good venue.

[CheshireGrin]

I'll volunteer.

I've been on ML since 2005.

If I can be charge nurse in an ER, I should be able to make it as a mod, right?
