Mod/ Admin sticky

[Admin]

The Mod Team has expanded…

Given that we now live in “interesting times”, I’m conscious that extra effort has been and will be needed to keep this place relatively stable.

Accordingly, please welcome Jotun into the Mod Team.

[Jotun]

I am aware that there might be a pair or six of rolling eyes at this piece of news.

Let me just say that

0) I was approached for this job, I did NOT seek it out
a) I did take several days to think about it, especially since my view of things and that of other, more conservative members of this board are quite far apart from each other
b) I have a lot of practise in applying the neutrality principle as a German civil servant, so rest assured that I will NOT censure members for merely stating their views, no matter how much I may disagree with those. I will, however,
c) sound off whenever there are things like mass murder fantasies and racist slurs being bandied about and when there is outright name calling among members
d) I will also endeavor to exercise my new "powers" as little and as constructively as possible
e) Which also means I will dial back my vitriol when discussing the T47 administration and any other controversial topic

That said, I feel honored to having been given this function on this board.

Good luck to all.

Congrats and best wishes to Jotun.

[Micael]

Congrats, best of luck.

[Nathan45]

Congratulations. This is a stressful, thankless job, we do appreciate it. For my sake I'll try to remember this.

Congrats on the promotion Jotun.

As a fellow public/civil servant I have great confidence that you will consult Sir Humphrey whenever needed.

I have to ask, how many moderators have a pad on the wall next to their computers?

No pad but I’m going through a bottle of gin a week

No pad but I’m going through a bottle of gin a week

Because you have to delete more bots then welcome new members.

127 bots since Wednesday… wish we had that many active members!

Keep the once you have, feed them well, that is the most important.

That’s what I’m trying to do… maybe not entirely successfully.

You have great shoes to fill, but you are doing great.

For the record, who are all the Admins?

Admin- me, in my ADMIN profile. Rarely use it as it’s a pain.
