Lil' White Dove
I don't have any direct experience moderating boards, but I try to help moderate the board at bttf.com by reporting posts when need be. WeatherExperiment, a moderator there, even said that I'm his moderating assistant! B)
I'll take any forum to moderate. I could take one for the BTTF forums and one for the General forums.
I think I'm right for this job because I'm quick to see problem posts. :ph43r: hehe.

Patrick

Alternate Strickland - May 2, 2004 03:36 PM (GMT)
Ok as of right now, there will be no more moderators until a few more members join. This could change later today at the rate we are going though! So please audition for being a moderaotr if you haven't done so and still want to. And all moderators must be also be active posters on this message board so please keep that in mind. :88:

Alternate Strickland - May 2, 2004 06:42 PM (GMT)
Mrs. Doc Brown, you will become a moderator, so don't worry. I promised Blind Spot awhile ago before i made this message board that he could be a moderator so he gets a first choice in this. BUt you will be a moderator basically once he posts in this thread so i can decide who will moderate which fourm. I also promised BeanieRobert the Ride fourm.

I Love Doc - May 2, 2004 07:40 PM (GMT)
Screen Name: I Love Doc(Docs Girl on the bttf message board)
Experience(if any): well to be honest...none
Auditioning for: Back to the Future
Notes: i'll admit i have no experience but i love this movie to death and i'm always posting on message boards for them and i would love to at least give it a try! you know how loyal i am!

Blind Spot - May 3, 2004 01:41 AM (GMT)
Hey, yall. This is my first (but certainly far from last) post here. :D

OK, here goes:

Screenname: Blind ("Spotty") Spot.

Experience: I've never directly moderated a board before, but out of the 13 months I've been on BTTF/com's message board, I believe I've been able to assist there in that area to an extent. Aside from welcoming new folks, whenever I can, I try to familiarize people with boards the best I can, as well as try to handle (amd/or report) rudeness, out of place comments, etc.

Position: Any would be fine with me.

Notes: Aside from (obviously) liking the movies to death, I enjoy talking with people, and helping in any way possible. I think I could help others in making the board a nicer place.

Alternate Strickland - May 3, 2004 02:05 AM (GMT)
Ok there are two more moderator positions left. (another moderator for both The Animated Series and general chat) These positions are not highly needed right now though, but they are still open.

The BTTF Ride fourm is still unmoderated because that will go to Beanie Roberts to whom I promised the moderator position.

If a moderator ever must left, come inactive, or traffic soars, then more positions will become available.

Pit Bull - May 3, 2004 04:36 PM (GMT)
I'd like to apply for General Chat.

NAME: Pit Bull
EXPERIENCE: Absolutely none
APPLY FOR: General chat
NOTES: I LOVE to chat. As long as it's well-moderated.

Alternate Strickland - May 3, 2004 09:20 PM (GMT)
All the moderator positions have now been filled. I am going to keep this open for Beanie to post in once he gets here.

If you have a problem with moderating a fourm you do not want to moderate, please PM me soon.

And if you ever need to give up being a moderator for whatever reason, please tell me so that I can honorable discharge you and get a replacement.

I am sorry guys, but all moderator positions have been filled. The Ride fourm is being left for Beanie.

When BeanieRobert joins and posts here, he will become a moderator in The Ride and TAS fourms.

Pit Bull - May 4, 2004 03:49 PM (GMT)
This topic is being closed due to it has no use now, since the moderator auditions are done. In future times it might be used to whine, "Why didn't I get a moderator position?" so that's why i'm closing it. Alternate, if someone quits, reopen this. That will be all.

Thank you!

BeanieRobert2001 - May 5, 2004 09:03 PM (GMT)
well...thanks A.S!

BeanieRobert2001
i was a mod. on the MJF and BTTF message board
and since i already have the ride..i guess i'm done.

Alternate Strickland - October 20, 2006 08:40 PM (GMT)
Considering the circumstances, I am re-opening this topic. The only difference is that you do not need to put what forum you are "auditioning" for since I now have it set up so that moderator(s) can moderate the entire board. Also if you could add roughly how many times you visit the board per day and roughly when during the day that would be great. I think that we will only need one moderator right now but I am considering having there be two.

Jennifer Mcfly - October 20, 2006 10:37 PM (GMT)
hello alternate strickland i jennifer mcfly am intrested in being a moderator iam on this board 20 times a day mourning noon and nigt i have been the co adminastrotor of sites such as www.groups.msn/sailor moonies.com i realy hope i can be the 2nd moderator

sincerly Jennifer Mcfly.

outatimedelorean - October 20, 2006 11:23 PM (GMT)
I'm on here several times a day anyway or whenever I feel like it.
Make me an admin as I'm an root admin on another forum. On that other forum, I have appointed 2 co-admins to help out.

I discussed this topic with you awhile back over AIM. It was something to do with the co-admin position.

bttf44 - October 20, 2006 11:37 PM (GMT)
I usually come here several times a day. I mostly write stories here - but I could check out the other forums for spam and such. :)

No Roads... - October 21, 2006 03:41 AM (GMT)
I'm here atleast 7-10 times a day, i usually read most of the forums, however do not post too much. I am usually working on websites and things, so i'm always on the internet, popping back and forth between forums.

LonePineKath - October 21, 2006 10:37 AM (GMT)
I'm Kath. I live here. I read everything and have no life :) :lol:

J/K - I've never been a mod before so you'll want to pick someone who actually knows what they are doing! Are you going to hold a poll or will you decide?

I urge you to consider having two moderators on different time zones though so we'll have it all covered.

I'm not too worried who you pick, as long as we get people who will be here regularly as there have been too many cases of things getting through the net recently and it'd be a shame to wreck this lovely little community we have got going on.

Shandy - October 21, 2006 02:42 PM (GMT)
I think Kath would be great!! You could not find a more unbiased person.
Also, you can't go past No Roads . . ., he would be excellent also.

LonePineKath - October 21, 2006 02:49 PM (GMT)
^ What about you, Shandy? You'd be a great moderator! You are unflappable!

Agreed. Shandy, would be great, as would you Kath! :)

Aaron - October 21, 2006 02:59 PM (GMT)
I'd suck.

I'd have to ban myself for cheating!

I also think Kath would be great. Or Shandy. I'm on the fence with Kev! He's a bit ban-happy!

You can relax, I wouldn't want to do it! I spend plenty of time on the net as it is and don't read every topic on here so wouldn't want the job...

Alternate Strickland - October 21, 2006 03:17 PM (GMT)
Let's keep this topic open just for the posts of people who want to be moderators. Anything else can be Pm'd to me. Thanks.

Also I'll keep this topic open for another day and then I'll lock it and make my decision.

Thanks Kath :)

After a year of asking for a new moderator, I should put my hand up.

I'd be happy to do it, I am on here all the time and I hate spammers, I could settle disputes, I know which forum every topic belongs in and it may make things easier for me to change the banner?
But my support is with Kath and Trevor :)

LonePineKath - October 21, 2006 04:50 PM (GMT)
Come on, Aaron - I bet you'd be a great moderator - as would Kev :)

My vote goes to Roads and Shandy though. I think they've been here a long time, they are both very fair, and both want the job. :)

Aaron - October 21, 2006 05:24 PM (GMT)
^ I dig. Roads and Shandy would be good.

I don't want that responsbility anyway, because then you wind up with nuts like me yelling at you for being unfair (tip to the new mods - don't be unfair, and don't ban me if you don't have to, or I'll be very mad at you :angry:)!

bttf44 - October 21, 2006 06:13 PM (GMT)
Do mods even have the power to ban people? I thought only the admin does.

Admins only have the power to ban people, which is why I rather be an admin than a moderator.

outatimedelorean - October 23, 2006 05:24 AM (GMT)
Here's an idea:

One co-admin (me) and 2 moderators. With a co-admin, they can ban as well as the root admin can.

Alt, another thing is I'm here more often than most of the members.

Alternate Strickland - October 23, 2006 10:58 PM (GMT)
I'm not making anyone an admin. I don't think it is necessary. Also I have decided to only make one moderator, for now at least. I am going to lock this topic now and I'll make and post my decision tommorow.
