Hello everyone!
My TM x hayley x PM'd me today asking to be considered for a full moderator "position". I am opening up this poll to everyone who wants to comment on her performance around the boards. She had asked me to copy what she wrote in her PM to me...just a few points describing how she's helped out around the boards in a few months.

Here's what she wrote:
[quote=x hayley x]Hello! After the encouragement of a Mod, I have decided to apply for full moderator status myself. Here is a list of things which I feel I have brought to the site (maybe you could paste these onto the thread with my poll when it is set up) :

- I always give advice on the collecting help board, and very often get PM's from the members thanking me for the help I gave.
- I go onto the request an address board everyday and search all over the internet to help members find addresses. I know the sort of sites to search so I feel I bring a lot to that board. Again, I very often get PM's from the members thanking me for taking the time to help them.
- I give constructive responses on the autograph collecting discussions board.
- I help out a lot with the spam on the site. I delete posts when I see them and then report the name of the user.
- I know I have posted a lot on the games board in the past, but since becoming a TM I have not posted there once. I know some of you will probably use that as a reason to vote no, but I assure you I don't even go into that board anymore, I have moved on from that!
- I post addresses on the add/update an address board when I find them in case other members want to write to that person too.
- I very often have new members PM me asking me to go through the whole process of requesting autographs with them, and I am always happy to help, very often typing up a 15 minute response to them to make sure they know everything.
I LOVE this hobby and I love being able to help out other people too. It's a great feeling knowing my advice has got other people started on their collection and so interested in the hobby.
Hopefully I will be considered
Thank you![/quote]

Thanks so much everyone,
Larisie :d

I say yes

I agree. She qualifies but I don't think we need anymore mods anymore..seems like everyone is getting a shot at being a mod, no offense to anyone.

I'd also say yes.

I also voted yes Hayley has really been a good member/TM! BUT i think also that if she will be a moderator that there is enough of us moderators!sure more members are qualified of being a great moderator but we have many..

I also say Yes. But i do agree we have a lot of moderators. It's unfair to her though as she DOES devote a lot of her time on the board. Its unfair that there are many people getting promoted to be moderator who are on maybe once or twice a week.

i voted YES. in 2 years she has given us over 4500 posts. She is constructive, and will be a great addition for the team.

SInce when is post count a good thing? Look on her profile, it says -

Most active forum: Games
[ 2133 Posts / 46.56% of user’s posts ]

What use is a Mod who spends almost half of her time in the pointless games forum?

I agree shes a lot more useful than 98% of the other TMs (and some Mods) but I'd say no - unless some current Mods are cleared out, as there are too many as it is.

Dont get me wrong, she'd likely be a good choice - but I see no logic in promoting more Mods.

Thanks for all your responses so far, everyone!

Andy - She told me that she hasn't been in the Games forum in months. And that even though it says her most active forum is the Games one that's from a while ago. I'm just saying what she has told me.

I agree with most when it comes to there already being so many mods, but is that really a good reason to say no to her? She says she frequents the "Add/Update an address" forum and the "Request a celebrity address" forum.

Keep adding your comments. I'm going to keep this open for another week and a half before I make the final decision. Looks like it may be a difficult one despite everyone pretty much saying 'yes'!

Yes and no.

Yes its a good reason as there are too many as it is, and the more members who are Mods gives unbalances the forum.

No its not a good reason as she'd make a good Mod in all likelihood.

I take it theres no chance of clearing the "dead wood Mods" lol
