Talking Sober moderators: applications closed! Meet the new mods!

All the other people suggested would make better mods. I’d be banning racists as soon as they popped up.

That’s what would make you a kick ass moderator

Oh wow, thank you for thinking of me. My job is about to go from virtual to in person again which I expect to be intense and I don’t think I’d be able to be a responsive moderator but I really appreciate the thought. :blush:

Just a bump up for people just getting up that we are looking for folks in your time zones (as well as US time zones). So, if you are interested in joining the moderator team, please let us know. :hugs:

Awww, thanks Dan, but I’m still at the hardware store these days - shopping to add to my own toolbox. Then there’s the fact that a large part of my job requires me to argue a point to death - and my ex-husband would tell you I’m really quite good at it. :laughing:

@Englishd Derek since he’s already said he’d be interested, I would really like to see him in that role, I bet he would literally kick a lot of ass but also do a lot of good!
@SinceIAwoke @Yoda-Stevie @Dan531 @Lisa07 would equally make great mods!
From Europe @Mno and @Mephistopheles , you’d be awesome!

I would do it if chosen, however there are far more people that are far more capable.

@Thirdmonkey, you’re just as capable as the others. I think you would make a great mod.

I second that! @Thirdmonkey you’re balanced and thoughtful. And a Michigander which is important in my opinion LOL!

Hey you guys, thank you @DarrenUK, @Jennajen @RosaCanDo! I feel absolutely honoured to be in anyone’s consideration (totally bragged to my bf about this today, yeyy!) and part of me would be up for it - however. I absolutely lack the emotional balancedness and neutrality to act with such circumspection and … cool as is required and as I’ve seen our current mods team do. I am team tough love. I get overengaged still far too often. also I write way too much. to make this short, others are better equipped! maybe one day. thanks! :pray: :blue_heart: :white_heart:

That’s how I feel too. I get it.

wouldn’t want to do it even if I did. I don’t want to decide who’s opinion is more acceptable. I wrote a load of light hearted posts on a thread of people arguing and mine were the ones that got moved :thinking: I can’t compete with that logic.

Cannot say enough how great I think @alliecat would be as a mod. She has been an inspiration and a voice of reason here for a long time. Big second from me, for what it’s worth!

Your name has been mentioned quite a few times as well @MoCatt, if you are interested. Oh and @Alliecat unfortunately is too busy.

You just made my day. :sunflower: What about you? You would be a wonderful mod!

I nominate @SassyRocks
She’s only new, but I think she has what it takes to be a great mod.
