Announcement Volunteer Moderators - Are you willing to help out?

[SHaines]

Greetings all,

If you're a member of the forum with a proven record of helping support the Cycling News forum community and would like to try the mantle of Moderator on as well, please reply to this post or message me directly. This thread is solely intended for those volunteering for the Moderator role—any off-topic posts will be removed. Questions or concerns can be brought to me directly, or the community team: community@futurenet.com

Not everyone who volunteers can be accepted. We won't need a huge number of mods and the new mods will need to be able to work alongside our existing moderator as well.

Moderators play a key role in maintaining the health of the forum. Responsibilities include removing spam, ensuring adherence to community guidelines, and helping to foster a respectful and welcoming environment. As part of the moderation team, you'll work alongside others to bring in fresh perspectives and resolve disputes fairly. Our broader community team will also be available to provide support when needed.

If you're willing to help moderate the forums, just let me know!

Super! Willing to help. My time is limited, but I've done a stint before and think I can help very part time. Hoping a few others also step up, I can't do half of what Armchair is doing now. Thanks!

I am willing to help. Can't commit to what Armchair does but due to timezone (UTC + 10hrs) that may provide better coverage.

Thanks and welcome back!

All,

I'm holding off on adding any additional moderators since it's the weekend now and we're going to make sure we have the support available for anyone new to moderating these forums.

If able to do it as well if I can perform the moderation on my phone. I’m almost always on the site with my cell phone.

Oh, yeah. Having mods in multiple different time zones would probably be a good idea.

But just to be clear; I definitely don't have what it takes to be a mod.

Welcome back and thank you for dedicating your time to modding again. It’s like riding a bike.

Not what you asked, but I'd like to encourage and recommend @Lequack as mod.

Agreed. But I would hope mod duties wouldn't take any time away from Lequack posting all those awesome pictures and race threads!

@Tim Cahill @Poursuivant @Lequack .

Sorry to disappoint you folks, but I just don't have the time or motivation for moderation duties, so you will have to contend with just me posting pics and sometimes funny comments.
