State of the Board - Feb 5th, 2014 (mod changes)

[Trunk]

Mal has other things in his life that've come up, so he is shifting out of mod'ing. Thank you!, Mal, for all your help.

Dawei has come on as a new moderator. Welcome!, Dawei.

We've put in place a model of a "moderation rotation pool", where (ideally) each mod serves for a period of time (say, ~ 4 months) then rotates out of active duty and back into the pool. The idea is to help prevent burnout, amongst other things (balanced life, for instance, lol). Eventually I'd like to have about a dozen moderators in the pool to draw from, only 3-4 on active duty. If you're interested, pm me.

In considering whether you'd like to moderate please review:
1. TTBs 3 Foundations - states the vision of the board. In terms of moderation, if your vision of TTBs varies, moderating at TTBs might not be for you. We'd need to at least communicate about differences first.
2. Forum Terms & Rules - basis for most common mod issues.

Thanks for the time Mal!

 

And thank you and congratulations to you Dawei. May you enjoy the experience.

Thanks Truck and others...

 

I look forward to getting past the basement hazing and initiation from BKA

 

Already several reported posts discussed and a notice posted in one.

 

Now I know how BKA finds time to post as she let's other do the dirty work

Well, I hope you continue to post as a regular member as I feel much would be lost if you spend all your time here moderating.

Ah... making software happy... Now that's the TLC we were talking about...

And I am still trying to decide if that was the 'hazing by forbearance' ; to see how many times I would see it before I had to say something
