Poll - James for Global Moderator

[TheCollector]

Hi guys

I have been approached by James who has asked me whether he can become a Global Moderator. After speaking with Admin, he suggested I start a poll in here so you guys can vote.

Although he doesn't have a lot of direct involvement in the Feedback forum, I feel he does a good job in the In-Person forum.

So I voted yes, (with some support from the rest of us!)

I had to say no. He still seems to be on the rude side of things and tends to just "rub it in" (for lack of a better term) to other members that he's a moderator.

I can't really describe how he does it, but he just seems to get involved in topics that have already been resolved or do not need more fuel in the fire.

I also had to say no. For the same reasons mentioned by rpbluesman :neutral:

I have to agree with rpbluesman and Admin. He does a wonderful job in the IP Success Forum, but there's that tendency of his to get wound up in quarrels. And once he gets into an argument, he doesn't always resolve it well.

He is also one of the younger Moderators in terms of age. I don't think that he's entirely ready. :neutral: He has also made some fairly rude remarks in the past...

I have to say No at the moment. Perhaps in the future...

Plus he still has a warning in his record. Anyone notice that? :neutral:

I noticed that too.

I'm sort of in the "middle-ground." He really is helpful most of the time, but yes, he is a bit on the young side in terms of age.

He just seems to get involved in topics that have already been resolved or do not need more fuel in the fire.

Couldn't have said it better

I'm going to have to vote "no" :neutral:

I still believe that people shouldnt ask to become a GM. I see it as a special tag that the admins give to someone who they believe are doing a very good job or in other ways have stood out ...

Hi guys

Looks like it is going to be a no then

My main reason for persuing this is that unfortunately we currently have no UK Global Moderators at all, the list goes as follows:

cernan
ldy josie x
lutherjw
rpbluesman
ozzman
Chrissy
Larisie
celebrityfan
nowandagain [au]
FatimaDenmark [denmark]

I feel this is little unrepresentative of our members and despite having no senior UK moderators, we also have only one European representative in the shape of Fatima.

Thanks for your quick voting. I'll let James know.

Erm...Ian, celebrityfan isn't a Global Mod. I think that you meant loveryan, who happens to be in Spain.

[rpbluesman]

I can see you're point Ian, but some would say that having an admin from the UK is a good representation point booster. (Those last three words make sense )
