Where's the poll? The poll goes up when we get some names.

And again, I understand that some, like Amsterhammer, would not want the slot. But that is not the question. I'd like to find out who would have the most respect if they WERE a mod. I knew going into this that Amster would turn it down if offered, but I still think he is a valid name, 'coz I'm not asking if he is interested. I'm asking the rest of yez if ya think he - or anyone else - would be a good mod.

Some of the answers I see I know are not serious - except as trolling. But keep bringing the thoughts and names. We'll give it a few pages to develop. I'd like to see some input from quieter members.

Nobody has mentioned Aussie Goddess - but she gets a lot of respect, yes? Or Mew? Including a female pov is good for managing groups - proven success formula.

I think respect vs best is a somewhat different question. You original question involved best. I listed some I think can drive the forum in the right direction. The list of posters I respect is much longer: Hitch, LS, Hotha, Dr Mas, Mew, Sefla, GTF, RR, Skidmark and many more. All will be able to do a solid job as Mod.

Adding Jranton to list.

Respect? Best?

How about this definition: someone you would respect enough to accept their decisions as mod. Remember, they get the bannination hammer!

I'm not worried about ppl nominating friends - since once you have a lot of people casting votes - the friend biz should cancel itself out for the most part. Imo.

Here are names I see so far - at least, ones that I think were entered seriously and not trollolololingly.

Libertine Seguros, hrotha, and Dr. Mas
Roundabout
Zam
S'Bison
Eshnar
Alpe
Master 50
Granville57.
I agree about roundabout.
Foxxy
SB
Hrotha, Libertine, I think Armchair Cyclist
Granville
Zam, krebby
And this guy :eek: but I can never remember his username :D
Thats fortytwo by sixteen single speed, La Flo! :) 42x16ss

Granville and Krebby


Ima gonna guess that Sefla is a type meaning Serfla. Serfla? Are you serious? And I can't think that Cyivel's nom of Nets could be serious either. I don't recall any lost love there - but maybe I didn't pay proper attention.

Keep the names and your thoughts comin'!

I've no problem with him whatsoever but no it wasn't serious, if you wanted a serious suggestion of someone else who would do a good job imo, I'd suggest search.

I think chewie will make a good lawyer some day. Or maybe even a judge. I don't see him often gotten the best of in a written exchange.

What? No one is nominating Highmodulus?! :eek:

A poster with 2 posts years ago? Sounds like it was probably one of those, ahem, "backup characters" for a member.

Every once in a while we must have these thinly-veiled popularity contests.

Usually it boils down to 3 or 4 posters that everyone can agree are top-notch.

Thing is though: do you really want the posters you most respect to become mod? It might end up ruining them for you.

I think those three or four top-notch posters should not become mods and stay what they are: top-notch posters
 
Hiero2 Aussie Goddess is busy moderating Velorooms... barely gets on here anymore :) I agree that a female mod would be good. No more Susan, we need a replacement. Mew would be good, fits the aunty role. She can be Aunty Mew instead of Aunty Susan. And she's a crazy cat lady too :eek:

What about thirteen? Haven't seen her in a while though :confused:

Ok I'll go back to my original suggestion of Netserk then!

I'll be honest I didnae think you would want to do it, I thought we were just suggesting people we believed would do a good job.

Then I would pick "The sceptic". For fun reasons only...
... and "Master 50". He would shut down the clinic, thus solving the problems to find new mods. ;)
FOXXY I WAS THINKING OF YOU OR RACE RADIO. You could both close the normal forum and it could all be the clinic.

And NO I would not close the clinic. It serves a good purpose too. I might agree I would be heavy handed with unsubstantiated accusations. but it isn't the discussion that bothers me is is the general negativity and insistence that every rider is doping and that many of the regulars there love to say x or y is a doper without any public accusation say by a reporter or a doping offence. It is a great place to discuss these Positives, to talk about doping methods. the history of the issue.
