Are Moderators Needed?

[surfrider56]

Yes, I know ... too much time on my hands ...

As I was looking at the Board in general, has anyone else noticed that 7 of the 10 Factions have "Moderators" that haven't been seen for anywhere from 6 months (Roque Saber) to 14 months (Sharrakor) to 18 months (Maverick, Planeswalker.)

RS is still around Bloo, but I haven't seen the others in literally years. Is this something we need to address? Our staff is down to Jm and BH, and Jm has gone on to college and may be busy at various times.

Should we ask if anyone wants to become a Faction Moderator? Are two Council Members enough? No, I'm not putting myself out there necessarily, just asking. Yes, I say this knowing the core is down to 5 plus occasional commentary from others .... or are we past the need for Mods except on an as-needed basis?

Since none of the current moderators are posting, I would take their place if any stats were to be finalized. I haven't had to finalize much of anything. There might have been one or two, but I can't remember editing the database posts. What little new content that has been posted in Stat Creation has been commented on by few members, so not much can be finalized.

If/when we have more posting members, then yes, we would have to replace the current moderators (or at least have someone fill in for them). At this point, I don't think they're necessary.

If we'd rather get active moderators up before we get an increase in members (if we get one), we could elect them right now. If we want to do this, post which factions you're interested in, and we'll see what we can do from there.
