Moderator application discussion - Page 3

Arathorn · 07-22-2002, 08:21 PM

Really thought about applying but regrettably, I'll be busy until september and might just drop by every once in a while til then. Oh well...

***Ben*** · 07-22-2002, 09:09 PM

That's too bad Arathorn.

Anyway, for all you procrastinators and vacationers out there, we've extended the deadline for applying to Friday.

***Khamûl*** · 07-22-2002, 10:10 PM

So when can we expect the announcement of the new moderator?

***Ben*** · 07-22-2002, 10:48 PM

When we've made our selection

.

I suppose it could be anywhere from 2-10 days after the deadline.

The admins here do a fine job, you don't have to be so critical!!

Oh, it's not the job they do as admins that bothers me... it's statements like GDL96's "The only thing that I liked about (the hobbit) was when there was that one guy in the cave" Or Ben saying "I haven't visited the tolkien forums in over a year." Little things like that.

Actually, It's most likely that I just don't pay attention to CBG and SGH, or some others. But the ones that I have noticed recently (or not so recently) haven't been in a positive light.

But it's ok... It's not like they're ruining the boards or anything.

***Ben*** · 07-23-2002, 05:09 PM

Gdl's statement is from 1999 - we were in eighth grade. He was not a moderator at the time. He has since finished "The Hobbit" and enjoyed it. I think he also read LotR.

Also, I never said that I haven't visited the Tolkien forums in a year. Look again. I visit all the forums every day, when time permits. I just don't actively participate in the debates anymore, which means I don't have the time to go in there on a daily basis and analyze LotR.

I'm afraid it's rather difficult to run the board and the website, do homework, practice five zillion instruments, and also give a dissertation on the Sil every day for three years. But you know what? I don't have to. Entmoot is established enough that hundreds of debates, conversations, and games can go on without me having to pick my brain every day coming up with a decent topic just to keep the board from dying.

I continue to spend time and money on Entmoot because I enjoy providing a community where Tolkien fans, casual and diehard alike, can talk about the books that brought us together or just chat. Keeping that community a place appropriate and fun for all ages is an honor. If there are those among you that would enjoy helping people out and keeping a respected community running smoothly, then by all means apply to be a moderator

.

Well said, Ben.

I applied a couple of minutes ago. I don't know how good my chances are, but if I don't get the position I'm not gonna be mad or anything.

Wayfarer · 07-23-2002, 09:23 PM

If you say so.
I was referring to your comment on
this thread, but it hardly matters.

In any case... I'm sure that being a Mod is somewhat taxing. Which is another reason I'll happily leave it to you folks. Management is not something I have a gift for. ]: )

BeardofPants · 07-26-2002, 10:02 PM

Oh geez: Please don't make Emp a moderator!

***Khamûl*** · 07-26-2002, 10:38 PM

Who knows... if emplynx becomes the new moderator, the Doomed Thread Award with the padlock art might become official.

BeardofPants · 07-26-2002, 10:45 PM

Not with CBG around, thank Herakles!

samwise of the shire · 07-26-2002, 10:48 PM
