I’m already a mod on two forums…I quit the third forum I was a moderator on.
Frank, that’s the whole ideal, while you two would be busy “moderating” each other , the rest of us could run amok. [:(!] [}:)]
This reminds me of a bunch of soldiers and the sergeant asks for volunteers to step forward. Then the whole platoon takes a step back .[:-,]
Frank would probably be using the fire extinguisher to harass Rich, and the forums would be a mess. At least there would be the entertainment for everyone else.
I will be the one who steps forward and volunteer! Someone has too, plus I want to keep the forums in shape, and not have a mess.
Kyle, send a PM to Steve Otte announcing your candidacy to him. He’ll let you know in due course if he would like to have you moderate.
And, thank-you for volunteering! [8D]

I salute you.[bow] You’re in for an eye opening experience if accepted.
If walls could talk…Right, Crandell? [(-D]
[:‘(] Kyle, we hardly knew ye. [:’(]
May you rest in peace. [angel]
Rich
A scene from “Jaws” comes to mind.
Quint:
The cage goes into the water,you go into the water,the shark in the water our shark–
Farewell and adieu you fair Spanish ladies, farewell and adieu you ladies of Spain, for we received orders to sail to Boston and we never see you again.[:O] [swg][(-D]
Your a brave soul Kyle. If the job gets to be too much, and you just can’t handle it anymore[:'(] and you need a shoulder to lean on, just call.
By the way the wife knows I don’t respond when the Canucks are playing, no matter how long her Honeydew list is, and so should you.
Good luck and may the wind be at your back.[bow]
Yep. [;)]
I PM’ed Steven Otte a few days ago to sort of officailly volunteer to be a moderator if they need a new one to help out, since there is a shortage of moderators. I haven’t heard back from him since, not sure if he is thinking about it or hasn’t been on the forums recently, has anyone seen if he was on recently? Not sure if the PM didn’t send correctly for some reason.[^o)]
Kyle,
Steven is always very good and very quick about responding to PM’s.
If you do not hear back from him on Monday, drop him another line.
Rich
My goodness, somebody actually is volunteering to be a moderator!
Lots I could say about that, but I don’t want to be Mr. Negativity (again).
The Moderators lot is quite a job, taking a huge amount of time, patience, tact, diplomacy, and guts.
That leaves me out for sure!
How does one send a PM on this forum? I see no obvious way.
I’m a moderator on a Opticians Forum and it is a thankless job. Honestly, it’s not much fun.
And you couldn’t see that coming?
I could have told you that before you took the post. I’ve been a moderator on many forums since before I joined here a bit over nine years ago.
The real question is why would anyone want to be a moderator.
By definition, it is a function that requires a forum member to discipline other forum members.
Deleting posts, cautioning members about their choice of words or behavior toward others.
There is little power play involved since you cannot ban or suspend members.
There really isn’t anything positive about the moderator role.
Rich
At the least , they should have free subs to any forums they moderate…And some free special issues.[G]
