Actually I could see the need for someone to hold that title, not necessarily to moderate, but just to handle some of the administrative stuff that not all of us would have the capacity to do.
I'd volunteer, but there are times when I can't check in here for several hours (or a day or so) at a time, so not sure how viable I'd be in that role. And I think Rod's paid his administrative dues, unless he wants to continue in that capacity. Anyone else care to step up?
Well, like I said earlier, it's mainly janitorial. Sometimes I fix broken code if I think it's easy. There's always the possibility that someone on the outside can come in and make a bunch of spam posts that need to be deleted, but that would probably be pretty rare; I don't remember seeing any on the discserver board. Another moderation tool is to move a topic to a different category, if it seems misplaced. Quite frankly, now that I know you can edit your own posts, that's a load off my mind. In the future, I'll just get mshray to rag on those of you who start the daily thread and don't mark it clearly enough!
Once bitten, twice shy!
So, Urth, which topic would you like to voluteer for?
