Moderators Wanted

Thankfully I have already received some offer of assistance in this area and I am now ready to put some moderators into place for us.

I will be asking for volunteers to moderate the forums for a few reasons:

1) Inappropriate photos considered porn

2) Inappropriate language since we are a public forum

3) SPAM

4) Moving topics to more appropriate areas when posted in the wrong area

5) Derogatory, personal, inappropriate attacks on others for any reason

I would not want to see moderation used for purposes of strong arming those with opinions that we do not share. I also see no reason to over-moderate at this time. As this progresses and I am out of the picture we can all vote to moderate as we see fit but for now since I am the one with the liability monkey on my back, this is how I would prefer it to operate.

Please pick a topic or area that you would like to moderate. I will have to be careful or as a group we will have to be careful with who is allowed to moderate. There have been issues in the past on similar boards where a moderator deleted an entire area consisting of thousands of threads after they threw a fit.

Please throw your name in the hat! Thank you!
 
Re: Moderators Wanted

I will volunteer for Residential Framing, Residential Energy, Commercial Energy and Accessibility. I'll also volunteer for fire-related forums if no one else chooses them.
 
Re: Moderators Wanted

I would be willing to moderate a group or two - my first choices would be accessiblity and property maintenance. However - I'll help out where ever you need. Rarely does a day go by that I don't check the forum. Used to be another forum, now this is my home.

Thanks Jeff - your efforts are GREATLY appreciated!!
 
Re: Moderators Wanted

More than one moderator can be assigned to a topic which is a good idea. Moderators can then collaborate but I think assigning areas is a good idea.
 
Re: Moderators Wanted

1-3 people are assigned as moderators in their area of choice. I am going to limit it to 3 moderators and hope that all categories have 3 moderators which means we need more volunteers.

Also, I would like for everyone to figure out amongst yourselves, which ONE single person I can assign as an administrator just in case I get hit buy a bus. This will be until an association is in place and the website transferred.
 
Re: Moderators Wanted

Hey Jeff,

I'd be interested in Residential Framing, Building, Electrical and Fire, and Commercial Building. I am a daily user and usually just keep the forum up, as I used to in that OTHER forum.
 
Re: Moderators Wanted

Jeff, I'll help out. MOE, life safety, fire, and accessibility are my strong areas. Please pm me if you feel comfortable.
 
Re: Moderators Wanted

I can help out anywhere, but my expertise (if you want to call it that) is in anything residential, property maintenance, zoning, and commercial building.
 
Re: Moderators Wanted

Moderators, please see this link for help with moderating.

http://www.phpbb.com/support/documentation/3.0/moderatorguide/index.php

Also, there are some areas that we only have 1 or 2 moderators and I would prefer to have about 3 and mix it up a bit so we have some variety. If you are going to volunteer, please take a look at what is available. Some topics ended up being 4 moderators strong but I don't want to make any more of them.

Thanks again for your patience.

Jeff

Re: Moderators Wanted

of course I'll help out as well.. where you need me, but I work odd hours.
 
Re: Moderators Wanted

I do mostly Property Maintenance so I would be glad to help with that section if you need any more people. Let me know and thanks for creating this great site!!!!
