Poll for prospective new community moderators.

[Legacy_Bannor Bloodfist]

               I can't figure out how to get this poll as a direct entry in the forums section, so I can only post the link here.

The idea is to grab a list of potential folks that the community thinks would make a good or great moderator, and ones that are willing to pay attention to threads, sticky requests etc, at least once per month.

Currently, the three or four "community" members that were chosen when this site was created have all seemed to disappear and Bioware employess have sooo much on their plates that checking all the NWN forums for sticky requests etc is well down on their lists.

Maybe if we can get some new folks that are generally known in the community, folks that have a proven track record of being open minded AND a PROVEN record of helping the community in general, maybe, just maybe, we can get one of the Bioware Super Moderators to promote these folks to help manage things around here.

I fully apologize if anyone thinks I am stepping on anyone's toes, or not choosing them for any specific reason, I am just throwing out names of folks that I have watched for years as they continue to help the NWN community.


Prospective NEW moderators for NWN CC and Scripting forums.

Please respond as you see fit.  And also note that I have NOT asked the folks I am proposing to se if they are willing.  Sorry for that, but Someone needs to get some attention about this issue around here and that is all I am attempting to do.

EDIT:  Poll listed above has been changed to add some of the nicks suggested, and to offer other choices.  Special thanks to Rolo Kip for the extra suggestions.

Where I do appreciate the thought,  I do believe that I have proven myself far to unreliable to hold such a position.   I would offer  the NWN Community Server Status and info. thread as proof of my statment.

               I believe this is a great idea. We need some active moderators around here.

               me wants Bannor as moderator!
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Bannor Bloodfist]

               Sorry Sen, I have a proven track record of getting involved with flame wars.  I seriously doubt some of the community would want me in the mix.

We need level headed folks... most times I am, but I can get carried away too.  Most especially if my diabetes is acting up.  My moods swing widely and I become unpredictable.  Which is why I no longer do telephone tech-support jobs...  I sorta snap too easily.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Bannor Bloodfist]

               Ok, as has been requested, I have created a NEW poll with some additional nicks added, and other options for a more varied series of answers.  With a better description of what I am attempting to find.

I have edited the original post in this thread to include the new poll link but will provide a new link here as well.  Special thanks to Rolo Kipp for the ideas of the name change and additional options choices.

               I have received a request to remove Old Time Radio for consideration.  He stated that he will continue to help the community and continue to mod for us all, but he doesn't have the time to actually be a moderator for the forums.  

I will of course respect his request.

lightfoot8 also requested to not be considered for nomination as he has too much on his plate already.

               Gosh... I am rather shocked to be included in this list. CC and scripting forums are not exactly where I have spent most of my forum time.

In fact, between my MP group breaking up, an extremely chaotic life and Mass Effect 3/NWN vid card driver incompatibilities I haven't even managed to play NWN this year.

HipMaestro and Six spring to mind as missed possibilities. I would suggest some more but they'll probably fireball me for it '>

SO..... while I won't remove myself from this list, I will inform that my RL is chaotic and am not a reliable long term choice. If AD /wants/ this tho, I do remove myself from the list.

Have fun '>

               I'd take it on, if it was offered.  I figure I can afford a an extra minute or so a day.

               Well, I intend to keep the Poll open until Sunday evening sometime, then create a message that has links to the poll itself, the poll thread, and the various folks accounts that have been suggested and have agreed to help us out.

So far we have 4 folks still in the running, AD, Rolo, Shia, and henesua - in that order of votes. Some of the folks that were suggested via comments have already stated they are not interested so I won't add them to a newer poll or suggest them to Bioware Super Mods. And of course some folks on the pole directly stated they were not interested either.

Anyway, intending to keep poll thread going until Sunday to give folks a full week of voting options so that I am as fair to the community as possible while also limiting the votes to folks that actually VISIT at least once per week.

               I have not received a single vote. It doesn't seem fair that I be included. All of the above is rather vague and I don't think it necessarily applies to a vote of confidence in me.
