Old Doll

i agree, maybe when a spot comes up, she can be the next in line?

I dont think it really matters at how many posts a person has made before becoming a moderator. Someone could be typing nonsense all the time to get their post numbers up ( sad as it sounds, people do this in other forums)

Being a moderator is more to do with the person themselves. Even if they only had 4 posts they could make the best moderator on the net.

Moderating a forum does give you "powers" to edit, delete, move posts/topics as well as banning spammers but to be honest Chordie is an excellent forum with relatively hardly any spam, which does get deleted as quick as possible, mostly by the administrators.
We ( admins and moderators) do not really have to edit or delete much posts through arguing online,swearing,or useless posts. So we have a pretty easy time really.

But, this is not to say Old Doll would not make an excellent moderator. I am sure she would as would lots of others. But since Old doll has posted so many posts that does indicate she is in the forum a lot and therefore would be good as a moderator, and also ye just get this feeling over the electrical wires that she is a good person with a kind heart and most of all, she knows whats right and whats not. ( I have to say this, she is my "Irish ma"  )

Danspr, do you just ignore all my posts then and james' and the Doc's ?

I am sure after this thread Per ( thee admin of all admins) will now consider her if or when a space arises, or he might just throw her into a section?

hi ark

The difference is a moderator can only moderate the sections he/she is named for moderating.
they can edit, delete, request to move posts that seem to be in the wrong place. And I think they can ban members too although I am not sure of this as I have never felt the need that I have ever had to ban someone ( apart from spammers)
the administrators can go anywhere in the forum and change anything like a moderator can do but does not have to be named for one section, they have the freedom of the forum to moderate it. I think there are one or two other things but I am not too sure apart from what I said. They are like "god" moderators ,lol.
It means that if I am on holiday or away for a few days and there are any posts that are bad i.e spam, swearing etc, the administrator can change it/delete it/move it etc.

but the only thing admin and mods have to do really is delete spam, delete swearing ( although doesnt happen a lot) and move topics to rellevant places.
We do our job better ( thats if we could get any better,lol) by reporting spam and irrellevant use of sweary words such as f... c.... ba...... wa.. sh... etc etc ,lolthe quicker it is dealt wit h, the better this site remains

( Im ust have nothing to do,lol, such a long reply for an easy question, sorry)

This thread i am only seeing now! I think my blood pressure is gone off the scale! I am embarrassed now to think i have put so many postings here.

Ive been just answering post as they appeal to me. Never did i think about the amount!! The songwriting section alone is a lot of post in its own right.

Now i feel like im making excuses!!

I genuinely am not interested in becoming anything other then a Chordie Member. I do not have the Music ability to do so. There are so many more
Chordie members who have. There post reflect this.
I dont wish to seem ungrateful to anyone, But i prefer to be just as i am.
Jeez Roger, you and that list will haunt me. How sad am i.

Thank you all. Especially "You Danspr" xxx

Embarrassed Old Doll.

I'm #8!  Woohoo! 

/ buffs nails on shirt....

Yes Jerome, you and everyone on that list deserve a pat on the back. You all make sensible (well most of the time ), meaningful comments and not just any old rubbish to increase the count and all of you have the right attitude towards Chordie and it's members and each one of you is worthy of praise.
