Hey everyone!

Most of our old forum gabboim retired a while ago, and it’s time to bring in some fresh help.

We’re looking to add a few new moderators to help keep the forum running smoothly, especially when it comes to making judgment calls in tricky situations, like when a post might be too triggering or crosses a line.

If there’s a member you admire and trust, someone whose judgment you value, please reply with their username. If someone already mentioned them, just click “Thank You” on that post instead of repeating the name.

Also, feel free to share your thoughts on what you think a moderator’s role should be. What kind of presence or involvement would be most helpful? We'd love to hear your ideas.

Once the votes are in, we’ll reach out to those members and see if they’re open to helping out.

A gut Chodesh!

Webmaster of www.guardyoureyes.org - Maintaining Moral Purity in Today's World. We’re here on a quest ; it’s really all a test. Just do your best and G-d will do the rest.

Should be someone who has extra time on his hands. I say ChaimOigen. 

(If you call me for a nice shmooze in the next 24 hours I may consider removing the nomination)
May you slide down the banister of happiness and get many splinters of success up your career

I would add Markz to the list.

Re: the moderator's role. I would say to remove anything that crosses the line into nivul peh, leitzunus, or generally unproductive talk (except obviously most joking around is healthy and productive). Unfortunately, that's an impossibly thin line to walk.

I would say that the main job of the moderators is to keep everyone safe, to give clarity when people are being attacked for their posts , and to delete triggering content. A moderator can sometimes also interfere and tell someone that what he is writing is off base but it would be more appropriate to have a moderator who acts as a mentor do that.

For a moderator to moderate in moderation, they ought be active on the forum fairly regularly.

@Muttel
@Amevakesh

Are both solid guys that are frequently around. 
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
The yetzarim a person has the most trouble dealing with are his most powerful God-given tools for developing his potential and achieving shleimus.
It doesn't matter how big the number is, only that today it is going up by one.

Please feel free to reach out. I'd appreciate connecting with you (via GYE, email, or phone - whatever floats your boat)

I think a moderators role should be to adjudicate whether flagged posts and users violate the forum rules. If that’s the job description you’ll find many people who are qualified. If it’s basically a mashgiach temidi role, it’ll be hard to find candidates

Oh Lord, do grant unto Thy Evil Servant Moldy Voldy the Power of The Moderator, though but for a single day, nay, mayhaps but for an hour's span, so that Thy Servant may at long last smite, with crooked staff and fierce scowl, the ancient, unseemly
:pinch: Warning: Spoiler!
posts of Cordnoy, as he once did unto mine own, when my words were perchance a trifle askew in hue…

And, to be endowed with the power to strike down the vile and ill-begotten karma of @redfaced, returning it to its rightful place of 69…

So aid me, O Lord, in this most righteous cause, Amen.

My top vote would go to YKW, no kidding. I like it red hot and funny as well. His English skills are also not be overlooked.

I see what you did there. I think Red/YKW would be a great moderator. As long as they* don't have power over karma. Or get to judge what's appropriate.

*That's "they" as gender-neutral singular of course.
