I'm really not being contentious here, just genuinely curious.
May I enquire about your vision of how this 'alternative' would actually function?
Who does the housework and takes the bins out?
First thing, I did not
want the mod job. I do want this community to succeed and thrive though so if there was something I could do to help that along I was
prepared to take on a mod role for a time.
If I may offer some clarity about the actuality of being a mod on SZ so far for me.
I have to date;
1: Banned Mrs McGregor for 1 1/2hrs (just to familiarise myself with that process should it regretfully be needed). Which was fun.
2: Accidently edited one of your posts because the buttons on the mod control panel shift things slightly and I was a klutz.
3: I then corrected my error.
4: Moved a thread for Silvershine to Today's News.
aaaaand ................ that's it.
Major NWO Fail job.
Extract from the
Diary of Adrian Mod aged 55 11/12
I see that joke workload as an accolade to how SZ's members do treat the site.
Oh and btw I have had zero input from 'the elite'.
Novum messaged me to say he'd set up permissions for me to view the control panel in case I had questions, he did so............................. and that's it!
No instructions, policy briefings, world domination scheme handed down .......... nuffin.
Just a brush and shovel.
I feel exactly the same as I did before accepting the janitors job and I intend to carry on the same way, if that became difficult or frowned upon, the brush and shovel would get tossed instantly. You have my word on that.
I'm confident the previous mods will tell a similar tale.
So now we've put all that to bed, maybe we can also put to bed the innuendo and expectations from elsewhere.
That would be really nice please.
What isn't happening to your satisfaction?
What needs improvement?
What suggestions do you have to potentially address those?
p.s.
I'm still working on being succinct myself obviously.
I am sincerely sorry that my head is a bag of spanners today as both myself and my son are nursing some sort of cold, hence the reason I have not explained myself properly and both your good self and others have missunderstood my post....completely my fault.
I shall say no more about it except that, like everybody else here, I DO applaud the work mods here have and will continue to do in the future.
So when do I get me badge of sheriff-ism for the SZ?
No leather for me, but how's this?
. However I'd be as happy as the next person to do housekeeping duties. Most if not all of us do our bit anyway from time to time. Ref people like andy (frog too but he is one of "the others"
