Title: Nominate the Moderator Team
Post by: purplepennyhunter on September 08, 2012, 04:21:07 PM
The forum is looking for 2 new moderators to look after the day to day running of the forum.
 
If members would like to nominate a person (not yourself), the nominee will then have to accept the nomination and it will have to be seconded by another member.

The first 2 seconded nominations will become the new moderators.

Thanks for the nomination, I accept and happy to help anytime.

I would like to nominate Stephen (Sapyx)

He has a great knowledge of coins and would make a great moderator.

I second the nomination of Sapyx, and I agree 100% with Barry.

I disagree as while he has some good knowledge to impart, I have seen him aggressively pushing his own agenda on CCF

One of the pleasures of life is differing opinions.  The forum that doesn't allow different opinions is going to be a very boring forum indeed and I hope that this forum will be a place that we are allowed to express our opinions in a polite manner.

No one moderator is going to be acceptable to all members.  I myself don't agree with what members of this board have said in the past but if any of those people are moderators I hope they are able to separate their moderating tasks from their opinions or viewpoints.  If moderators do not believe they can separate their opinions from their moderating tasks then please own up now and we'll find new mods.  

In any event all moderator actions are logged and recorded on this board and if you believe you're being harshly treated by a moderator let myself or PPH know and we'll look into it.  I am not sure about PPH but I won't monitoring the forum to make sure no-one is offended or upset, if you've got a problem then please let me know.

I still feel that Sap would be an excellent mod if he were to accept the nomination.  He knows his way around forums technologically speaking, has a great knowledge of coins, and I've never seen a post of his that I thought was aggressive. JMHO.

Actually that turns out not to be the case.

I'm sure SAP will read the comments here and decide if he'd like to take on the role of forum moderator.

I’m confused, who are who, some people are using different usernames from what I used to know.

I am known as Sap on CCF and several other forums; Sapyx here (and on CU), because this forum doesn't accept usernames less than 5 characters long, and "numismatichemist" on eBay, because all the variants of "Sap" I could think of were already taken.

And I'm happy to accept the nomination... if the forum will still have me. :blush2:

Thank you we now have 2 new moderators Sapyx and Humpybong. Existing moderators are purplepennyhunter and Nevol with markn an admin. You can view the "forum team" at the bottom right of the home page.

I think I also just closed this thread.
