Not necessarily here...but not necessarily not here either๐
What about filmboards? Now that would be scary...no?
Could be cool...but I don't know. Internet copper man....what do y'all think?
Could you see your name in red....or the equivelent?๐ฎ๐๐
Fair enough๐๐ thanks for responding...threads like this can be easy to misjudge. One last question if you don't mind...if say Jim would ask you to oversee a board just for welcoming folks...no real responsibility other than saying hello to new members...would you consider that?
Definitely not. Policing people's bullshit wouldn't interest me at all, and while I love this site, I'm not up to putting in the kind of time commitment that would necessitate.
Totally dig the commitment angle...I am lazy by nature๐๐ but as I posed to others...what if it wasn't about policing the site? What if you were handed an entire forum board and told...do with it as you please! Would that change your mind?
There were aplications? How tacky! I was imagining under cover of darkness...cloak and dagger shit...he put out a help wanted sign....LMMFAO! I think I would skip that too. Would A
personal invitation based on your abilities have persuaded you? In other words if an owner would say...kamen you are so awesome at so and so...would you oversee a board that would be exclusively for so and so? Same result?
Wha? I don't get how you think posting and asking for volunteers to be prospective mods is tacky. Much better than any cloak and dagger stuff, if Jim was interested in transparency, right? As long as the prospective and eventually selected mods were properly vetted (although the criterion has never been divulged, so who knows), what's the problem?
I like the idea of Jim noticing that XXX member is awesome at one thing or another, and appointing them mod for that reason (hopefully fairness and objectivity because those are *very* important qualities for a moderator!).
I don't know, but I don't think, here anyway, we have separate boards that are moderated by different people. Doesn't seem like it, anyway, if there are.
If I were offered my own board here, I don't know what the point would be, or the draw Catbookss' Nook, to talk about ... what? If I were offered it on FB, nah. Less of a point, to me, than being offered one here.
You're right cat! My comments were probably more knee jerk than sensible๐ and I'm sure you would have no experience with this...but months of being on a mans pay no mind list has a way of changing one perspective๐ let's not forget that this was a hypothetical question that was not meant to be directed at any actual person place or thing...but I should not have played out of bounds...something a mod should probably know๐๐
Co-owned. It was my idea, but someone who had more tech chops than I did to create the site volunteered to make it, so, co-owned. Of course it was about books about cats, called ICBDB.com! What else?
