Thank You Mods

Crack that whip.....:eek:

No seriously though...ST is one of the best run of all the forums I chime in on.
 
As a former moderator, I know firsthand that it's not an easy job moderating a forum as big and diverse as this one. Like others have said, good job guys.
 
Ok, so why are you guys sucking up? I'd blame your weird behaviors on the record cold across much of the country for July, but I know better. You're up to something. You guys are cooking up a flame war....I'm sure of it.:confused: j/k

Seriously, though. We appreciate the compliments.
 
I agree--you mods carry off a difficult job with evenhandedness and aplomb. Thanks for your excellent work--even you turkeys who cited me for infractions on the forecast/reports threads! :p

Well done, all. And thanks, Robert E., for starting the ball rolling here. It's nice to get a chance to express appreciation where it's due.
 
I'm a little late, but I too want to applaud the moderators. We rely on a system of delegated authority to make the board work, and these folks demonstrate great acuity and judgment every day. I'm really glad to have them helping out.

Our moderators have six-month terms, but I can't bring myself to rock the boat and make a "call for elections" -- in that respect I have failed! :) But I guess at some point we're going to have to figure out what to do, as that system was designed as a sort of escape valve to get rid of undesirable moderators who aren't good for the board but not technically doing anything wrong, and allow them some dignity and grace.

You should consider, rather than taking self-nominations and "electing", maybe having other members nominate the next mod or two and then electing. Sure, some nominees will not want to or not have enough time but I think you would be surprised at the number and type of people, if they know they have the support of the community going into it, who would be interested - and very good mods.

Just a thought.
 
I think it should be a hand picked, behind the scenes process with little or no member input. This keeps any "politics" out of the moderating process.
