Since _V_ thinks time would be an issue for him I nominate _V_, Neverending, and Flayed.

I thought on this for a while - I would be prepared offer my "services", if not for the fact that a person in my time zone might be able to handle any problems that arise outside "normal business hours", that and forum moderation was actually part of my most recent job...etc...but, since I feel that this is going to be down to (yet another hdc) popularity contest and since I'm usually the one that the majority don't exactly "like" it'd just not happen, and that's all I'll say on it.


I'd go with newb personally - the guy with 12k+ posts may not think he's got enough time to do it, but I think the figures speak against that.

Moderation of a forum shouldn't really be about friendships, alliances, or even subject matter knowledge IMO - of course these things are nice traits for a forum member of any kind to display, but moderation itself - it's about putting the t&c of the forum first, and being able to impose actions without the need for approval of any members/co-mods, as confidence would be put in this person to be able to make the right decision not subject to bias of any kind, no matter who or what the action had been taken against.
To be completely honest I don't think that many people here would be capable of this at all...
I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks this kind of "election" process is doomed to yield a faulty product - after all, it's your "peers" that elect you...tell me that won't allow for some bias to creep into any moderation actions taken in the future.
Won't happen.

Site doesn't really NEED new mods anyways...I mean I'd welcome them but don't consider it a necessary step.

Same here, actually.

I have to admit that if newb were game, he's one of the most reasonable people on this forum. He's one of the few members that I could confidently say I've never seen let their emotions get out of hand to the point where it clouds their judgement. If he were willing to accept, I would throw all of my votes behind him.

__V__ would make a great mod. He cares more about this place than anyone else, Horror included. If he weren't around, there would be no HDC left to worry over.

There are plenty of other good folks around here who might make good mods. Kemal, if he were around more often. Alky, Return, Despare and many others are all reasonable people who stick by this place through thick and thin.

When I look at all of the factors, my nomination list stands at those:

__V__
Alky
Return
Despare
Newb

I'd give Phalanx my vote.

I agree that Newb and Neverending would be good choices too.

Well thanks, yeah? Although I'm not exactly throwin' the hat in.

Come to think - you'd not do a bad job yourself, it's not as though you come across as overly "trying to make friends", and you're pretty straightforward, you visit frequently, speak plainly, and have been here for some time, and you're into some pretty good titles, good for advice on the non-mainstream - maybe look into doing whatever this threads about to see what's up, I'd personally prefer (these days anyway) seeing you in the running than a few of the aforementioned "favourites".

I would enjoy being a moderator here.

I used to try all the time after I was here for about a year but I don't think they were looking at the time. I know lately I haven't been around much but I feel that if I was elected as a mod I could help out a lot around here since I don't work right now and I have a great deal of free time and I enjoy coming here.

I am not sure how others feel since I know more people have more influence with others here so it might be hard to be chosen to be a mod but I would like to be atleast considered if possible.

Just to let you guys know.

:)

I vote for Despare. In all seriousness, i'd rather have a pompous douche whose self aware than completely oblivious. Oh, and then I nominate Dustin of course.

Can't think of a better trio.

__V__ (unofficially he is already a mod:) )
& others who deserve to be mod are:
neverending
The Flayed one
Despare
Doc Faustus
