Let's welcome a new moderator - Namssa

I respect anyone who's willing to devote time to moderate this board. I did it for awhile on ASPD and it can be incredibly time-consuming.

But at the same time, there were moderators on ASPD who, in my view, didn't have the right temperment to moderate. Originally Posted by ShysterJon

Of course! And here, and a lot of other boards as well. What would anyone expect? It's not very easy to identify those who: (a) will do a good job; and (b) are willing to do it. Mistakes are inevitable; even good mods often start out with a bumpy ride in the beginning. Not to mention that they can never please all the members no matter what they do. But hopefully any problems are self-correcting. It's in the owners' self interest to monitor and as needed either provide corrective guidance or "fire" those who turn out to be poorly suited for the job. (If you have an absentee owner and power struggles among the staff, though . . . .) There are a lot more ex-mods than current mods (or dead mods).

And at the end of the day, even if the mods do a mediocre or poor job, it's not that big a deal. This is just a SJMB.

Namssa, congratulations and condolences.

Okay, C-man. I know SHMB. So what's SJMB?

It's my quixotic attempt at providing gender balance. There are as many silly J's around here as there are silly H's. And MB's are arguably more for the J's than for the H's.

Normally I avoid windmills, but occasionally . . . .

Ah, okay. Thanks. It wouldn't surprise me if you told me that before. I think I fried my brain eating too many Pop Rocks in the '70s and '80s.

welcome, welcome, welcome

Namssa, thanks for volunteering. I am not very active on Eccie like I was on ASPD (as I am now single and don't hobby much) but I appreciated your work on ASPD and this board is lucky to have you as a Mod.

All modtards eventually become dead modtards.

Inquiring minds want to know.

How about calling it a SHJMB? It's all one big circle jerk anyway.
