Can you, the active members of the moderation team, really excuse the fact that you consist entirely of right wingers? We need leftist mods!

they're on Howie's board.....besides, most of our mods are a-political assholes who haven't watched a news broadcast since they graduated from high school.....last year......
first, most of us are libertarian. I know that doesn't really mean all that much to you. But I am not a right winger on many issues.
Secondly, the vast vast vast majority of modding is really basic simple stuff regarding blatant rule violations, where politics doesn't really come into play.
Thirdly, most people accuse us (me) of being swayed by darla and crew at every available opportunity. So we are actually biased towards liberals.
More conservatives have been banned (perma and otherwise) from our site than liberals have. Again, so much for bias.
In conclusion, this isn't a representative republic where we get equal representation of the board demographics. The most important things for a mod here are activity level, knowledge of how to use mod tools (it's easy but believe it or not some people would still be too dumb to know how to do certain things), and how long they have been with this community. If I were ever considering a new mod, politics would probably be one of the last things I would think of that would be relevant.

The last thing we need is for our moderation to suddenly get really incompetent. That said, Sycamore, if you have the technical skills and the time to step forward, I'm sure Damo would invite you onto the staff, and I would support having you as a new moderator.
um I am pretty sure I know what I am. But thanks for playing.

Start a thread about it. I'm fairly certain I can convince a bulk of the posters here - that disagree - that neo-liberalism =/= libertarianism. And you, if all goes well.![]()
Actually, my bff Grind, has been promoted to Admin on my board. Just in case you decide to visit again.
