Who do you think is/are the best mod(s) on this forum?

[boomcie]

EDIT: I forgot making it multiple choice. If a mod wants to fix this, go ahead please. Otherwise: one mod it is.

Here's to hoping this thread will last longer than the average shag.

I'm interested to see how the people around here value the work of our main mods (or admins, same thing to me).

I would like to know who it is you think does the best job. Who's style of moderation do you prefer? I believe this could help the community understand what type of moderation is the most effective.

Please elaborate your choice.

I have only included the mods that have posted in the "member suspensions" thread, because they are the most prominent as far as I can tell.

P.s.: I have chosen to make this poll anonymous, as I understand how some people don't want their answers to be known publicly.

The best mod ever (Barrus) is no longer a mod.
So I'll just choose Martin.

 

[The Hitch]

You forgot Wonder Lance.

I 2nd Barrus, other than that, Martin, RDV4Roubaix

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

I like mods who engage in conversation. Without naming names, I'll just say I have seen all on the list do that, some more than others. Well, except Vino.

My shout goes out to Francois, because I appreciate the way he communicates.

 

[sublimit]

Francois should now lock this thread while he's ahead.

I would of voted for Susans cat but couldn't owing to the aforementioned creature not being on the list.
Its a toss up between Francois, Martin, Ferminal so I've gone for Martin in the end.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

A holler before its closed.

 

[ElChingon]

You'd get more votes if the question was the opposite of what you're asking.

Major negatives to those that mix a regular post with a mod post.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

bikes and gear

 

[RDV4ROUBAIX]

bikes and gear

That's were I reside. I'm probably the least-mod of all the mods, whoever was that single vote, thanks. Means a lot.

 

[mewmewmew13]

This is not a one-shot option...
each has his/her strengths.

I like RDV for bike sense and he's a homie..
Alpe super friendly..
Francois excels with words..
Susan a true cat person..
Martin usually hits the nail on the head..
Palmerq and Bala...fairly low-key..
Ferminal very interesting and I love his avatar.

voted Francois because he spends so much time and detail trying to explain and be fair.
can't believe this thread is still open

"homie", I like that!

Funny thing about this is that a couple weeks ago I was a day away from resigning back to regular member status, but B&G needed some modding at the time, so, I'm still here.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Francois is a legend so I voted for him, but after all the crap I have given some of mods such as Susan and Martin they deserve a mention.

That's not to say you guys aren't all idiots for signing up!

 

[The Hitch]

Since Martin hasnt got many votes so far, Ill say that I didnt like Martin at first but as my posts added up and spent a lot of time on the forum I really began to appreciate the work he does. Seems to spend almost as much time on the forum as me, but hes spending it making the forum a better place for every one, rather than making it worse place for everyone

Same for Susan (with a ridiculous decision in July being the exception).

I have no problem with any of the moderators in fact I think theyve all helped me out at some stage when 1 or 2 trolls have targeted me which is what I am most grateful for.

Alpe and Francois are rightfully leading though. Both quality.

 

[AussieGoddess]

I voted for Francois because of the amount of effort and detail he puts into his decisions/communications ... but in reality I think all the mods do pretty well.

There is always going to be decisions that are unpopular, but kudos to all of you for volunteering for this

i did not vote for several reasons, but if i were to choose one moderator it would be francois for the very reason AussieGoddess stated.

my main reason for not voting is that i think it is unfair to single out one mod/admin when all of them volunteer their time and strive to be fair. i have often disagreed with them, but they all get my support and admiration for doing something that i could never do well.

I feel obliged to point out that I am a free-lance writer under contract to Future Publications, and am not a volunteer mod.

That's just a minor technicality. Nobody ever got out of the army by claiming they were drafted.

 

[Quixote]

Is there a prize?
Tough to pick one over others...I appreciate them all.
We need categories:
Best Member Suspension of 2011
Most Timely Intervention
Quickest Trigger Finger of the Year

 

[boomcie]

Damn it. Could one of the mods pleasure correct the mistake I made in the thread title? It should say furum instead of forum. Beginner's mistake.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Is barrus still active? Haven't noticed him in a while tbh..

It's Latin you know.

In India film is usually pronounce "pfilum"

I reckon this poll is being rigged by Francois supporters.

Martin should be doing a lot better and so it seems Francois may be doing an impression of that short bald Russian idiot and supposed " Russian prime minister" Vladimir Putin.

I just hope he doesn't take his shirt off or send a hit squad to kill his opponents.
