Would you be a mod if someone asked you?


Not necessarily here...but not necessarily not here either๐Ÿ˜‰
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?๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Ž

reply

No
Too much work dealing with other people's bullshit

I like people a lot but when the BS starts flying im the first guy out the door

reply

I figured you for the boss man at your job.

reply

No...i'm just a grunt
Well paid and Union protected but just a grunt...

reply

So...would you...if you could...take a promotion...or an ownership type role? Would you run your own shop if you had the chance?

reply

No
Too much nonsense for me
I split like Fred Flinstone when the whistle blows

reply

Fair enough๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘ 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?

reply

I dont know this fantastic Jim fellow but yeah... I pretty much always welcome the Newbies...unless they stink of troll

I LOVE our new posters, i try to post to all of them

I dislike authority and written rules Amigo, so im just going to keep welcoming new people by myself

never met 'Jim' but good for him for starting a proper site

reply

Oh yes give me the power I crave to abuse!

What is best in life.... To ban your enemies, to see them deleted before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

reply

Awesome!!!
Well done Conan

reply

Thread WINNER!

reply

...and to hear the lamentations of the trolls!

Love ya, hon!

reply

No, i'd abuse the power.

reply

Alright tandyman...I've changed the opinion of two...how bout you? Would the deal be better with more power to abuse?

reply

Maybe.

reply

Come to a decision yet?

reply

It would all depend on the situation.

reply

Mod of your very own board! You could even name it after yourself. All movie reviews...all the time! Just think of it!!!

reply

I would do that for sure.

reply

a hard YES

reply

Never

reply

What if it was the mod of your very own board? Yours to do with as you please...would that sway your opinion?

reply

Sure would. I'd like to be the boss or at least second boss. :D

reply

Imma put you down as a yes in that case๐Ÿ‘I think you just tied the ball game๐Ÿ˜‰

reply

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.

reply

Totally dig the commitment angle...I am lazy by nature๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ 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?

reply

Nah.
I was here when Jim asks people to be mods. I didn't apply.

reply

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?

reply

I don't know. Ask Jim.

reply

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.

reply

You're right cat! My comments were probably more knee jerk than sensible๐Ÿ‘ 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 perspective๐Ÿ˜‰ 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 know๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘

reply

I would totally hang out at Catbookss nook๐Ÿ‘
WAIT!
We gotta do something about that name...this is a respectable joint!๐Ÿ˜‰

reply

Me either. Having been a message board site creator and co-owner before for 3 years, I know being a moderator sucks the fun right out of it.

reply

I never knew you owned a web site. What was it centered around? Cats? No too easy. I got it...books! BOOKS about CATS๐Ÿ‘ ICBDB.com๐Ÿ˜‰

reply

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?

reply

If I didn't know any better id think.you were having fun at my expense๐Ÿ˜‰

reply

Luckily (I think), you know better. Or should. Big difference between laughing with someone and laughing at them.
