ONR FAN I'm a moderator on a Opticians Forum and it is a thankless job. Honestly, it's not much fun.

How does one send a PM on this forum? I see no obvious way.
My goodness, somebody actually is volunteering to be a moderator!
Lots I could say about that, but I don't want to be Mr. Negativity (again).
The Moderators lot is quite a job, taking a huge amount of time, patience, tact, diplomacy, and guts.
That leaves me out for sure!
ENJOY !

Kyle,
Steven is always very good and very quick about responding to PM's.
If you do not hear back from him on Monday, drop him another line.

I PM'ed Steven Otte a few days ago to sort of officailly volunteer to be a moderator if they need a new one to help out, since there is a shortage of moderators. I haven't heard back from him since, not sure if he is thinking about it or hasn't been on the forums recently, has anyone seen if he was on recently? Not sure if the PM didn't send correctly for some reason.

Yep.
Your a brave soul Kyle. If the job gets to be too much, and you just can't handle it anymore and you need a shoulder to lean on, just call.
By the way the wife knows I don't respond when the Canucks are playing, no matter how long her Honeydew list is, and so should you.
Good luck and may the wind be at your back.

Kyle, send a PM to Steve Otte announcing your candidacy to him. He'll let you know in due course if he would like to have you moderate.
And, thank-you for volunteering!

Soo Line fan zstripe Soo Line fan Geared Steam No , it has to be Frank and Rich, apparently you guys have nothing else to do Here Here, I second that nomination. The Frank and Rich dynamic duo would be tough to beat. Yeah! I can see it now! The duo, bickering, back and forth, while the peanut gallery, has a free for all. Whadiya Tink? BTW, I am still doing,what I did most of my life, drive 5 hrs,sleep 4 hrs.every day. Cheers, Frank Frank, that's the whole ideal, while you two would be busy "moderating" each other , the rest of us could run amok. This reminds me of a bunch of soldiers and the sergeant asks for volunteers to step forward. Then the whole platoon takes a step back .

jeffrey-wimberly If Frank takes up a moderator post he's gonna need four olives in that martini. He won't have a chance for a decent meal between putting out fires and harassing Rich!

Frank would probably be using the fire extinguisher to harass Rich, and the forums would be a mess. At least there would be the entertainment for everyone else.

I think Brother Elias would make a good sheriff. He behaves the best out of all of us.
The threat of being turned into the Lions stew should keep the rest of us on the strait and narrow.
richhotrain Speaking of Brakie, how come you don't volunteer to be a moderator, Larry. Larry for Moderator ! Do I have a second? Rich

Do I have a second?
... you do indeed!
A lock is the last resort-not use as a jackboot moderating tactic.
Nothing looks uglier then a forum with lots of lock topics. I found it best to delete the offending post(s) and then send a warning and if the member doesn't see the error of his ways then proceed to lock his membership for 30 days.
Takes loads of common sense and solid judgment to be a moderator.
My first action as Moderator.
Rich and Frank moderators eh ???? That would be like getting the "Thief taker General " on the job, wouldn't it??????????
Cheers, the Bear.

Sir Madog The brunt of the moderator work was born by Jeff and Barry. Jeff resigned a few months ago and Barry is missing - so who is volunteering to become a moderator?

I will volunteer to become a moderator. Currently I am trying to get some of my questions answered on the "track planning " topic, then I can start planning, but it probably will be a while before I actually start to build my layout, so now I spend a lot o f time on the forum, and I wouldn't mind the extra work.

I could be a moderator, I check the forums every so often like once an hour, and it appears frank and rich would be to busy harassing each other
