New moderators

[chrisb]

what type of things are done concerning the forum software?

[alkygto]

I vote Blue and Matt.

I WAS a Mod at bonnevilleforum.com back when i rolled in my SSEi, but I don't feel i have the time to dedicate to this place, tho I'd love to do it

I agreed with Matt & Blue, assuming Blue will stick around after he sales his car

Someone else for consideration would be BillBoost. He is a Mod (i believe) at several bonnie forums, long standing members at the very least and very knowledgeable of the 3800's in general

well pretty much we need organization. we need certain mods to focus on certain areas. like the intros, lounge, rant, kils, how to, general tech, and wheels and mods. those are the most used areas. plus we need someone to watch all the newbs closely to make sure theyre here with good intentions. we need to reduce the amount of flaming and net fighting. like for example when someone posts something stupid and it will obviously cause a riot needs to be closed immediately.

One of the best ideas yet in this thread...

That's how it is setup on the local boards. Try and pick people that are best suited for each section. As for the immidiate "closing" of a thread, I'm not so sure that is the best recourse. I would think a warning in a PM to the member or just delete the post first...because what good would that do the OP who is trying to figure something out, especially a noob who wouldn't know what happened to his/her thread.

This is what we did on the Bonnie Forum when I was a mod... just closing tends to cause more problems than good, and the elevated problems tends to just jump ship onto another thread vs pm'ing the people and explaining that they need to cool it and stopping it there.

agreed, but it would be up to him if he can spare the time to be on here, somedays he is somedays he isnt, and we do need regular mods here more than knowledgeable ones
