Admin vacancies

[Sweey]

Original? is no longer an admin at his own request due to university commitments which is a very decent move from him given that he can't commit time to the role.

martin_cranie, though still with admin status, hasn't logged in since November 29.

As a result, we're looking for up to two new admins. Interested parties should PM me rather than post their interest in this thread prior to Friday morning.

 

[Billy Minof]

Good stuff and well done Original for stepping down although you will be missed, I hope you will still be around which I am sure you will.

 

[HH]

Cant we nominate? 'The People's Admin' :lol:

Id probably put down either Billy, Papa or Cookie.

 

[Sweey]

Suppose I should say, in case it gets missed:

Anyone who actually becomes an admin would be expected to adhere to the board's rules or get demoted fast. Seems obvious but it isn't always easy doing something a lot of people are going to give you grief for when you're an admin, despite how easy it appears.

 

[Sully]

Nath is the best candidate tbh

 

[Papa]

Shame Original is no longer an admin, I thought his appointment was a good idea.

I like HammerHead's idea of a vote personally.

 

[Sweey]

The only reason I'm against nominating, in a sense, is you could be nominating people who either aren't on here enough, don't want to do it or frankly are going to be shit at the job. People should still feel free to make suggestions: certain individuals could be persuaded to register their interest by seeing that a number of others think they would do the job well.

If enough people PM me, we may decide to put it to the vote after finalising a group of individuals that we think would be good at the role.

As I've stated in the Staff area, there are two in particular I've got my own mind set on but I don't believe this decision should be mine alone to make.

 

[HH]

Me and Dale right? :smug:

But yeah, on top of who I mentioned, Nath seems a good choice too.

lol, thanks mate but I am not even a Vet so that would take me out of the equation straight away.

I agree, if voting commenced then we could end up with the worst Admin in history which will only be bad for the forum.

 

[HH]

But then couldnt we have the best choices that the current Admins think there are? Then vote on those.

I like Sweeys idea of the people who Pm him and meet the criteria then go into a Poll and are voted on by the members.......Although I think only Vets/Elite/Admins and Mods get to vote.

Not a bad idea. Or perhaps only members above a certain number of posts?

I tthink number of posts should count aswel, say over 2000-3000 posts

 

[Badgerman]

Rope me and Nifty in and see how long this place lasts.

You'd do well with your mod experience.

I think the first part is the best way, but instead of just Vets/Elite/Admins and Mods voting it should be people who have been here for a certain amount of time.

 

[Phatmann]

Badge should be reinstated as archive mod. Surely he can't do any harm in there?

Has anyone applied for the admin jobs yet Sweey?

I love how this website is my own personal petri dish for emoticons. That one is one of my personal favourites though.

Also my reign as moderator was legendary. I couldn't do anything whatsoever other than enjoy the tranquility of it all.

Simpler times.

It was probably for the best I wasn't given any real power as I probably would have edited posts with obvious spelling mistakes and break up giant walls of text with copious amounts of unnecessary paragraphs.

6 years I've been here and I still don't have a life god damn.
