Sorry Ticklemantis, got here first.😀

Alright folks, to answer a qestion posed in the Tickling Disscussion section, Should our own BigJim be a moderator? This is just an opinion and is NOT, I repeat, NOT an attempt to force the hand of the admins. This is simply a way to find out what the community thinks.

Tally your votes, people!

Cheers!😀

No worries I'm sure you wrote it out better than I would've anyway.😀 😛

Look at that 100% of people think he should be a mod.😉
 
I'm afraid I've answered that question already, but in any case, yes he should.
 
Only a 5 to 3 majority as of 13:25 British Summer Time on the 20th of May 2003.

Let's be serious for a moment though. I think the admins and the mod staff would have received me saying I'd like to be a mod, the way most people received Neutron saying he wanted to be a high court judge. With a look of terror and alightment into a fast car for immiediate exit, in other words. :bouncybou

I'm pretty sure that mods are selected only on how the admin perceives their attitude. Mimi may be an emotionally passionate person like me, but she got modded nearly two years ago because she showed she was capable of being more restrained. (I guess.) (She's only been a forum mod for a few months, but she was a chat mod for ages before that.) High profile and discussional contribution to the community doesn't come into it either. 4Pawz was made a moderator about three weeks after she joined the TMF; I think she'd barely made it to double figures on her posts. No jealousy from me to her for that, she obviously came across as having the perfect attitude for the job. A silver lined brow doesn't come into it either. 4Pawz is three years younger than me.

Then of course you have to address that it might not just be because there are people who the admins think would do it better than me. It's probable they think I'd be a bad one. I admit myself that there are times when my attitudes get the better of me in a very un-mod like way. Everyone is allowed an opinion here, but mods are more diplomatic and passive than I tend to be. Of course I expect that what JoBelle said is true and that I could tune it out into the background a bit, but I tend to draw a massive attention-grabbing arrow over my head whenever there's a controversial debate going on. Take the death penalty thread for example. I was so passionate and vocal that I accidentally said something to Steve that expressed more than indignation at his opinion. Given the circumstances it came across as a racial slur, soemthing which might not have happened if I'd been more observant and passive.
And I'm sure everyone will remember my exchange with Drew on the other thread. There were enough points against in that exchange to give any selector food for thought. (In fact I'd be surprised if he wasn't one of the three who voted no.) At least no-one will vote for "who the hell is BigJim?" :blaugh: With a north and south like mine, I doubt here's any forum viewer who hasn't heard of me.
Come to think of it though, if Drew had already voted, I expect he'd have left his comments here too. One thing he isn't shy about it letting his feelings be known. I think his vote is yet to be cast. Make that 5 to 4.


While it may be fun to discuss the question, I don't think it will ever happen. 4 people have been created as forum mods since I expressed interest in it. If it was ever likely to happen, it would have done by now. But let's face it, the people on the staff do everything and more for the community that I could do. There is no direct benefit from me being made a mod ahead of anyone else. :sadcry: 😛


That said, I would still do the job if asked because I enjoy service. It's not a power trip or a reason for thinking you're better than anyone else in he community. It's a bundle of hassle that the existing mods get no thanks and plenty of hassle for.
 
I'd actually like it, if the people who voted no, would leave more than just their vote. So far we only have positive comments on this thread, but a near even vote.
 
He won't hurt ya, I won't let him. We need both sides opinions. Come on guys, I know there's SOMEBODY out there who hates Jimbo enough to say why.😀 😉

OOOOO, we got 1 "Who the Heck is BigJim already!" And here I figured it would be the most popular choice.😀
 
HDS, you forgot to include this choice:

What the heck is a moderator?😀
 
An interesting poll! I put yes, so now BigJim has 7 "yes" votes, 7 "no" votes, and 1 "Who the heck is BigJim?" vote. Come on, guys, surely he's got more support than that! 🙂

It would appear, not. No negative comments yet though. That means the voters are either hesitant about getting flamed, or they were mods who's arts of diplomacy exceed mine.

Voting stands at 7-10-1-0 as of 18:15 on the 21st of May.
 
Many thanks to whichever mod added in the fourth choice.😀

Come on you who voted no, he won't bite. I think BigJim honestly wants to know why, possibly so he can improve himself. Tell us what you think!!!
 
Does this poll have a time limit HDS, or is it infinite?

How long do you think? Right until you get a supporting majority?😀 😀


LOL Judgine from the way the voting is going, that might take alooooong time. In fact I doubt it'll ever happen.

7-11-1-0
 
I give it till Saturday. Then I'll announce the results in a GenDis Thread where everyone can either laugh at you or suck up to you. I suggest you tell Drew to post here before then.
 
LOL It'll be laughing and Drew does his own thing. He won't bow to my wishes. :blaugh:
 
O ye of little faith.😀

But, you're right, you're sunk.:bouncybou

Although maybe you have a chance if Neutron doesn't get wind of this like the last time you tried, or so I'm told.😀 😉
 
LOL Doesn't matter anyway. Myriads just modded Venray a few minutes ago.
