I've taken on some added responsibilities in real life and besides that, am not really that interested in the dialogue in that forum in the first place.

Having moderated there for quite some time now, I'd suggest either Dayton3 (I know, I know......but I do think he would make a good mod in that forum) or RoJoHen as both are senoir members who are active in the forum and mature enough to moderate it.

This isn't pressing and I'll continue to moderate until a replacement is found, though I won't complain if that's soon.

Thanks.

I have serious reservations about adding
D3 to the staff. RoJo maybe.

Ok, maybe I shouldn't have said that - but some of his recent TNZ threads are deplorable and there is no way in hell I want to see him moderate anything.

Well, I was looking for a more diplomatic way of saying that. But you're right, better to be blunt.

Thank You. On behalf of the staff, thank you. On behalf of the members, thank you. On behalf of all Trekkers everywhere, thank you. On behalf of the human race, thank you.

Did I remember to say thanks?

And it's not just that he's a bigot. It's that he's an idiot too. One of the reasons we promote people is that they make intelligent posts. I've found many of D3's posts amusing and interesting in a crane-your-neck-looking-at-the-car-wreck kind of way. But I don't recall a single intelligent thing he's ever said.

Besides, half the stuff he posts is designed to illicit a negative reaction. He likes stirring the shit. He's done it when he's ventured into ENT. And that's not such a bad thing, but it's not exactly Mod type behavior. I may think that I'm better and smarter than the rest of the membership here, but I don't advertise it in such a blatant and unintentionally ironic way either.

Now, about half the time, especially lately, I think he's just fishing for trouble, intentionally stirring up the pot to see what happens.

While I still think he could moderate a small forum like that, I respect that people have a personal problem with him.

As for who else? Nobody regularly posts there and is mod material IMO, aside from Temis who rejects are offers.

Perhaps looking outside of Future of Trek to just quality individuals?

federationpolicyadvisor perhaps....
Admiraldave....
Worf999

I'm sure most of you are more in touch with the Trek crowd than I so I'll leave it at that.

Personally what I'd like to see for that forum is someone who has the time and inclination to take a very active interest in it and facilitate discussion. I do not mean any disrespect to label for this because I know you are very busy with TNZ and RL stuff, dood...it's just something I think we should be aware of when we select a new mod.

Sounds like mod type behavior to me.

Well, I've thought of Worf999 before as well. I think I withheld recommendation because I'd seen him make some inflamatory posts. But when I think back I'm not sure about that.

The other two sound like distinct possibilities.

Yes, and Dave = inherently good.

You wanna explain that one, Lisa. Do you have a honey named Dave or something?

has Rojo been contacted yet?
