jimdahl Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 There's been some concern in the football recruits thread lately that it hasn't received enough moderator attention, so I wanted to extend an invitation to the community that we're always interested in expanding the moderation team to include additional members who can help consistently apply the forum rules (while also having an increased opportunity to shape them).

jimdahl Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 We should be able to discuss FU on a UND fan site without having hordes of FU fans responding, defending and deflecting every comment. I would be very willing to take on moderating. However know that my philosophy would be that this is a UND fan site, created for UND fans to discuss UND sports. Guests are welcome as guests not as trolls living in the basement. You can PM if you want my assistance. Thanks so much for the offer! Given that you raised these topics publicly, I'll respond to a few publicly. I appreciate the criticism of the existing moderation (the whole point of my offer was to try to realign moderation to better meet the desires of the community). But, I do want to comment on the suggestion that non-UND fans should be held to a different standard than UND fans--I wouldn't be comfortable sponsoring a site where posters were held to a different standard if they were UND fans than not (e.g. if UND fans got to refer to NDSU as FU, but where we punished NDSU fans for referring to our teams as Sue, or some other slur). But, if you are willing to help consistently moderate the forum and hold all posters to the same standards, we'd be thrilled to add you to the team. Let's follow up via PM. Quote
jimdahl Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 I suppose I'll volunteer Thanks! As mentioned above, the primary concerns are better monitoring of the under-monitored football recruiting thread while ensuring consistent application of forum rules and moderation standards. If you think you're well suited to contributing toward those goals, drop me a PM. Quote

gfhockey Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I'm just stepping up to the plate to help clean up this site Quote
bang Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I'm not sure that's your duty. Pretty sure your idea of cleaning up the site won't be shared by the board owner. Although, it would be entertaining to watch you. You'd be first mod to be suspended from the site and arrested for drinking and moderating. Quote
CMSioux Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 For all we know we would be getting 2-3 moderators for the price of one (joking). Quote
choyt3 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I can't imagine the @GOBC would approve of such a situation. Allegedly this poster was lambasted for posting "insider" info. How's it going to look with the insider monitoring the information? 1 Quote

jodcon Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 You would think never being suspended from this site would be a prerequisite for moderation considerations. I was thinking maybe Lakes would be next to throw a bone out there... Quote
yababy8 Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 It's my duty I think its time to make some new hats cause I'm putting "I heart gfhockey" on mine! Gf, you're the most!! Quote
90siouxfan Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 gfhockey what are your thoughts on spellcheck? Quote
gfhockey Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 I'm more focused on controlling trolls Once we get that under control we can focus on spelling Quote
gfhockey Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 It's goin to be a tough battle but a battle I can handle It's goin to get worse before it gets better Quote
Hayduke Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 I would volunteer. But I am way, way too busy fomenting dissent. Plus, I prefer being the resident anarchist. Quote
gfhockey Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 I know its going to be a tough job but someone's gotta do it Merry x mas Quote

MafiaMan Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Isn't that like asking Alcoholics Anonymous for volunteers to tend bar? Somehow, I just don't see this ending well, I just don't. gfhockey against trolls...kinda like Christians against Christ, isn't it? 2 Quote
