That is attributed to Stalin btw.

I nominate Gandalf Parker for the position of a mod.

I think he's got the best temperament of this forum...

:D

For a moment there, before I fully read your post, I thought you were equating Gandalf with Stalin. My first reaction was "nah, he's more of an Eisenhower, with that penchant he has for planning out massive campaigns". Doh! :doh:

Yeah, I don't think gandalf would be the ideal man for the job. He actually reads the forums, which is a start, but he hasn't played multiplayer on this forum in a long time, which makes him somewhat unsuitable to moderate the MP forum, and is not really placed to represent the community as a whole. I'm not sure there is an ideal man for the job, and I'd hate to ask anyone to step into that position because there's a very large, gaping hole between different parts of the community and shrapnel itself. It would be a painful job. It needs someone more or less impartial that the dom3mods crowd can respect and trust to understand their point of view, or getting new moderators will accomplish nothing.

Posting an link to z7 with the answers there sounds like an solution...?

Sooooo... Are you volunteering...?

Because that post right there is something I would expect from someone who was suitable material for a new moderator. *grin*

I don't see how that is different in any way from just posting the text. It is still allowing the banned users a voice.

Also, sounds like a lot of work. ;) (it is already done in places).

And my temperament was much better. The first time I did it. ;)
Thanks for the vote. But I was one of the first mods here. I stepped down due to medical and financial concerns. Things are looking better, but not that much better that Id want to take this on again.
