NEW MOD REQUIRED - apply within

[KevinM67]

Mention a Mod and a Snadge turns up...............still have the ability to edit a Grapes post?

Snadger has no chance - in fact the Mod glitterati black-balled him before the nomination papers were even sent out.
Too much of a maverick, a rebel, a Geordie.

Anyway, due to 'Equality and Diversity Laws', it has been agreed that the next Mod will be a male.

So it's time for shortlisting......

I'll start:

Big Mallly- too Hairy
Jay-ell - stinks of onions
Baldy - too sexy
Cadalot- too engineershy
Sheneval- too clever
rary - too stupid
MartinH- weird taste in music
Deano - too funny and too many emoticons
Trip - too fit, and far too many chillies - that"s not normal for a sane human being.

....who else ?

Cadders,

Kelvin is only (vaguely) human - can't help himself... so no worries there... Most would agree with my sexiness rating (high)

(though not Mrs Balders... but that's for another thread... not quite sure where to start that one...)

[Cadalot]

Balders,

I think we have known each other long enough to be truthful with each other, if you think that most would agree that your sexiness rating is high, then either you have lost touch with reality of have just slid in from a parallel universe.

Obviously Mrs Balders is well grounded and a lovely person or is she your nurse and you only think that you are married to her?

[Bigmallly]

I wouldn't have the job given, anyway I'm retired....................joking apart, have we any serious contenders?

[veggiechicken]

"Serious" contenders would have difficulty with some of these threads

[Potstubsdustbins]

BM ^^^ Whilst I think most here would be happy to help out I also think that many are put from coming forward of because of the high level of our existing illustrious mods. (Cracking bit of creeping that.)

Maybe the mods should chat between themselves (Maybe they already have) and contact prospective candidates by PM.

Get yer CV in there - I'll give you a good reference, if that fails, I'll bung the fairy a few free seeds.

What do you want, Potty?
We Mods have been chatting and have a little list and we're hoping that someone comes forward who is on our list. We have had some volunteers and its great to know that there are people who would like to play an active role on the Forum. Thank you
There's a lot going on behind the scenes, as well as Mods on holiday, so we're not rushing the recruitment. While you're all playing nicely, we're doing OK. Keep it up, Grapeys

Maybe just leave it for now??

[Tripmeup]

Maybe just leave it VC.....

Until the GR reopens and all candidates can have a straightener.....

One thing you can't accuse our present Mods of is seriousness! Madness, nuttyness and lunacy possibly, but seriousness NO!

And that is what makes them likeable, having been on other forums where some act like commandants in a concentration camp coming here was like a breath of fresh air, a much more grown up approach to moderating and herding grapes.

Perhaps they would get a few more people put their hands up if a formal description of the duties and responsibilities with an estimated time was posted. I'm guessing various categories are split up between the current mods to review so that the work load overall is reduced and that it needs to be someone who looks at the vine everyday anyway, if not a couple of times a day.

[Greenleaves]

The role is quite straight forward really Cads....

We dont split the categories up as we work as a team, we read all the posts and act as the conscience of the forum. We like everyone else like to have a laugh along the way but are also prepaped to nip things in the bud, which we are pleased to say is very rare these days due to the great members we have.

As a team we make collective decisions about what to do and occaisionally involve the admin team but mainly when dealing with technical issues. The time given is puely voluntary and is suppose to be around an hour a day but as users as well as mods it is very rare that one of us is not around.

We read every post and look at every attachment to ensure to whole vine community remains the great place it is.

One thing we hope we are not is authoritarian or biased and because we are a team we consider responses from all sides.

So if any grapes think "I could do that" then we would love to hear from you

PS, being the only bloke Mod, I thought i would assume the role of 'bouncer' but VC is very protective of the pointy stick
