Title: Welcome Jan (anniebc) to our team of moderators!
Post by: Peter Staley on May 12, 2007, 11:24:39 am
And now there are five!  We've asked Jan (anniebc) to join our small team of moderators on a trial basis, and she has agreed to give it a go.  Welcome, Jan!

Our current team of mods has seen its workload steadily increase this year, especially with a small crop of troublemakers/spammers requiring extra vigilance.  On a few occasions, these spammers hit us during the few hours each day our guard was down, when all four of us were typically asleep.  By adding Jan to the team, we'll effectively close this loophole (she lives in a different time zone from the rest of us).

Please don't expect Jan to jump into this new role at full Goderator status.  She has a steep learning curve to climb (Ann will be her primary teacher), and for now, we only want her to clean up obvious attacks to our forums.  She will not be expected to mediate flamewars until she feels comfortable taking on that additional challenge.

So be gentle with the newest member of our team.  The last thing she wants is to have her new status negatively affect her longstanding friendships with other forums members.  We've assured her this isn't likely to happen.  The four of us have always felt like members first, and mods second, and we hope other members view us this way.

So join me in welcoming Jan as she dons a second hat in this huge family of ours!

Peter

I think Matty might have been a better choice. :P

Jan,

You poor foolish thing you! :D

I honestly though couldn't think of a more unbiased and fair person to join the moderators.   I'll do my part to not add to your workload.

Exactly.

There couldn't be a more reasonable, good-natured but still intelligent person better suited for the job. I think things wil slowlyl start to change for the better around here now.

Jan  (aka Goderator in Training!   ;))

You already give so much to many of us here in the forums, and now you're willing to give even more. 

Thank you for your generosity.   

Good choice Peter.

  This is the best news I've heard in this forum ever since the "right to modify" was taken away from us and that CSI thing was added. It's also nice to know she has a few alpacas to back her up! Lol. Don't piss her off anyone, because she might send you a close up pic of an alpacas ass for you to kiss! :D Jan is a great choice and I'm happy about it. 8)

What? Jan has made Goderator status, I'm loving it, not that I have a problem with the others but Jan is a sweetie. Great choice, Peter.

As far as my beloved damned one being a Goderator, that's like me stepping foot in a church! I couldn't see that in a million years. You know I love you Matty but let's be real.... ;D

Alex...you're so smart.  I knew Jan's heart was in the right place the day she told me Annie was her border collie.

Now, Jan.  I guess, congratulations?  I just wonder, though,  what did you do to derserve such an "honor (hehe)

Hi everyone

First of all thank you to Peter, Tim, Ann and Andy for inviting me on board.


Sorry it has taken me so long in replying to all your congratulations but it's Mothers day here in NZ, and after stocking up the hay shed for winter and giving the animals their vitamin injections I was taken out to lunch, spoilt rotten and given the best prezzie EVER from one of my boys..a "Paritzio Buanne" DVD..(insert a drool here)..anyway enough of me and Mothers day.

As peter has said this is just for a trail period to begin with because I'm not sure how I will be able to handle things at this stage, I'm not that good with conflict and I don't know how I will deal with it, but what I do know is this forum is very important to me, and I have made lifelong friends here, I hope that never changes.

 I have been here since 2003 and can't see myself leaving anytime soon...this is a place where information and advise is given freely, and friendships are made, but most importantly there is always support when we need it, and the support comes from the members themselves...you are a great bunch of guys, the best I've ever come across, and I know we don't always see eye to eye and there is nothing wrong with a good healthy debate..as long as it stays healthy..and that's what we are aiming for.

I would just like to say something here to one of our Members before I forget..Rapidrod..you had better be wearing a footballers helmet when I see you in SF.. :D

Just a gentle reminder ....Be good to Grandma Jan, I have Alpacas and I'm not afraid to use them, I have had them in training and they can be deployed at any given time...Don't say you haven't been warned.... ;) :D

Thanks again everyone for your warm welcome and your kind words

Hugs to you all.
Jan :-*

P.S..Hal, I can't for the life of me figure out why they didn't pick Matty.. ;) but I do know he will be there to sort me out if I step out of place..and that's not a bad thing... :D
