New POG Moderator(s) Nomination and Discussion - Page 2

I actually floated your name during Suckerfest 2013 when I was trying to find a replacement and am pretty sure I got a reaction akin to "omg AlrightyRoo wtf thought he was dead lol."

I'd never be stupid enough to agree to it.

The problem is that those who should be in power never want it and those who want power should never be given it almost by definition. But, you have to vote for someone, otherwise the wrong lizard might get in. Typically POG has avoided this problem by suckering someone into it who doesn't realize yet that they don't want the job. One wonders how long people can keep being suckered in for before h̶o̶y̶a̶ a lizard gets modded. Preemptive don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Of the listing ones I'd go with Moocher and younguns. Monkey is way too divisive and hotheaded to make a good mod imo.

Probably not, my hunch is that it involves being online at the right times...when drama is at its highest point and someone needs the ban hammer

Without a grievance thread, I honestly don't know. WN unleashed a grievance thread like a week after I was modded and then they closed it like a week after I de-modded. The lack of it changes the entire thing I'm sure.

A sheep mod like Tom, IBD, or eyebooger would also be a good idea.

Lol wn completely owned you on that one lkj.

I could give an hour a week.

Mb/yg/Hoya/moocher/tn/vix/ others I am probably forgetting are all names I've seen mentioned who I think would be good. Not sure which would actually want the gig though.

Kioshk and ivers confirmed hate me.

Tom would be great if he's up for it. Eyebooger too, and he plays lots of the other games.

Kaze has both posted ITT and has not actively resisted being modded while also not tipping his hand too much toward wanting it, so I'd say he's doing all the right things.

I can't decide if I would accept it or run away screaming. I play a couple long games and then get burnt out and stop posting, but for the most part I'm still lurking around.

However I'm supposed to study for an actuarial exam over the summer and then actually try and find a job so I'm afraid my time will slowly go by the wayside. This is part of why I think finding a good mod who lasts around here is so difficult, because the nature of WW lends itself to those who have a decent amount of free time and not many responsibilities (i.e. college students), but these people eventually get jobs and things they have to do.

I also think The Moocher is a good choice

Level-headedness, receptivity, and respectfulness are all important qualities for a mod.

I would scratch out a small handful of the above names based on this. Assuming the luxury of choice, of course, which several remaining names provide.

Most weeks, nah, not really. It depends on how involved someone needs to really be though.

There are certainly some weeks/days that you can easily consume 3-4 hours of your time over and over dealing with certain issues/things.

MB>vix>YG>UD>Kaze>TM
