I feel the moderator should be somebody who is on the boards often, knows the dynamic community of TA, and knows what/when to sticky, what to promote, etc ...

Just my opinion.

* EDIT

I say this because me and jdat, although we might not be at many "TA organized events" because of whatever circumstances, know the board better than most.


You're not aware of this cause I deleted it all but I brought up extremely valid points about the whole concentration around CHICAGO and all and well I was somewhat out of line for coming up as attacking porky publicly. In all respect to him I rectracted my comments. ( Others agreed to publicly .... )

But to put this shortly and not be as blunt as I was before, I think it's incorrect to chose a mod based on their local activity in the local scene. It is AND it isn't. Not to drag this out BUT this is an internet forum and if ones activity on the forum is not active then such responsibility should not be given to the person. It's only common sense. Now from a personal standpoint Porky's personal preference is relatively clear and I respect that; but as I indicated to him in private convos I have seen mods assigned to forums for "random" or unobjective reasons which made these forums turn dead due to inactivity from people in charge. Sorry if you want to call me a post whore ( which I clearly am not, I wouldn't think so because most of the posts I make are polite and well intended ) but I've been on forums ( not just TA ) for years and mod in many different ones and well ... if you make decision based on external facts well it's bound to lead to a 'situation'.

We are clearly faced with a tricky situation here that whichever way you cut it won't please all, that's life, but we have to make sense of what's realistic, and let me say this again this is NOT a Chicago forum exclusively.

Pardon my honesty Porky and people PLEASE do not take this as an attack against Porky he's like a bro to me and only understand such circumstances can I be this honest for his/our own good. Friends are there to be upfront.

I am out of the loop for numerous reasons I gues, so it's all go for UWM.

The thought crossed my mind. I don't know if it's a necessity due to the size of this forum but for better operations that might be recommended.

Why can't we have a Mod and a local organizer for meetups and events... one organizer for the Chicago area and one for the Detroit area??

john, i am assuming you are in disagreement with my personal choice of tom/dj2kta, for which you are entitled to your opinions but once again i have to disagree with you.

take a look at the nyc mod election. who's the top candidate? Brian/kidynce. outside of the ny boards he rarely posts elsewhere, and even within the nyc boards he doesn't post as much as other posters.

with this in mind, the reason why he is the top candidate is b/c of his local involvement. he has organized local meetups and local ta bbq's which is what in essence what the local boards are about. the boards are not about how much 'online' involvement you have. for all i can care, you could be a bedroom post machine but never attend events. how good of a mod would you be if you never attend shows and actually meetup with ppl, which is the next logical step after chatting with others online?

i think john, you are unfairly attacking Tom b/c in all honesty you have never a part of the local chicago TA meetups that have been going on the past year. i'm sure you are an active member of TA, but this has more to do with the local boards, with chicago being the biggest metro. in tom's defense, even though he will probably not post much, i do believe that he will make the extra effort to meetup with people like he has done in the past 7 or 8 shows i've been to with, and to me, that's the most important thing b/c i actually want ppl to meetup not just online but in person.

i agree with bobby that active posting is an important factor, to which i strongly believe that he would do a good job as a mod.

it's a combination of factors, not just online posting but also how socialble you are in person.. with these factors in mind i have narrowed the choices to tom and bobby and think they are the most capable in handling the modship.

ok people, let's vote! and we will see everyone b4 pvd in a couple weeks!

Some very good points so far in the thread. The two of us being nominated are being so for different reasons. I guess you just have to decide what criteria are more important for you to base your vote on. Bobby and I are both very active in the this forum, and I think either one of us would do well as a mod.
Its up to you peeps now though...so lets see some votes!
