Who will moderate the forum for now?

[Frozzy]

Note I said for now, since it will be ~2 months before Election I.

Take you picks.

Nominated

• Frozzy
• Martin Gühmann
• Locutus
• Locutus/Frozzy combination

The election poll will begin on Tuesday 14th January 5am GMT, and will last 48 hours.

[Locutus]

Hopefully we'll be a little faster this time

Anyway, I think we should go for people who actually spend a lot of time here, who have some DG experience and who have some knowledge of CtP and it's community.

Based on the current CivGroup members, that would narrow the options down to Frozzy, Martin Gühmann and yours truly (although Martin's experience with the MP community is AFAIK limited).

It's imperative that we decide fast, there are already a bunch of threads in need of moderation, and this will only get worse over the next few days and weeks...

[H Tower]

Frozzy

[Solver]

Locutus tried to fight me teeth and nails .

Actually, it should be Frozzy, IMO.

[Azrael]

As was discussed in the welcome thread i think two moderators (Locotus and Frozzy) would be best

[Frozzy]

What I'll do is wait until 5am GMT to get all nominations in, then start a poll, which will last 2 days.

Agreed.

Vital, IMO...

Uhuh.

The problem is that we won't have any mod unless we make it democratic. We'll have a mod by Thursday at the latest (Auckland, Wellington time, AFAIK its the same for Europe)

Yup, I agree. You will need to keep this nomination thread open for at least 24 hours and then leave 2 days for the vote. This is too long IMHO but there's no faster way of doing it properly

Since you seem to be the most popular choice so far, I would rather have Markos give you mod-powers now (which can always be reversed if someone else wins the poll after all) but I'm guessing Markos won't agree

[Frozzy]

He won't, which is a shame.

On Thurday we'll have a mod, no doubt.

[H Tower]

what threads are in need of moderation already?

[Frozzy]

We need sticky threads.

[geoffrey arnold]

Frozzy and Locutus is my vote.

[TheBirdMan]

Frozzy and Locutus.

[Andrew29229]

I vote Frozzy and Loctus. We need 2 people here.

[H Tower]

why on earth do we need two people? especially since this is only temporary?

Andrew29229: I'm curious as to why you think we need two mods here. seeing as how your relatively new to poly, i want to hear what you think.
