Is there are reason why there are no moderators for some forums? Is it just because no one wants the job? Are the positions open?

Maybe there hasn't been a need to mod them

Maybe Porfiry is the moderator for them

Maybe I should shut the hell up now

All these queries will be answered....soon

...

Forum moderators come from the members of sciforums who care enough to volunteer for a particular forum that they are interested in.

Appointment of moderators, qualifications, and suitability are Porfiry's domain.

In a lot of the forums, no one to my knowledge has stepped forward to say. " I would like to be responcible" and fit the required criteria.

ok, thanks...I just was curious to why. Interesting that no one has taken the responsibility yet.

Usually because of what we have to put up with. ;)

Erm....what happened to Clar, the moderator of Nerd Culture

He seems to have disappear!!!

Clarentavious was demoted.

AWESOME dude that guy isn't very nice =-]

Well if you need/want moderators on specific forums i guessed you would have asked. Maybe you should post the stuff you get yourself into when you want to become a mod. Though most fora's (spelling) don't require that much work (from what i see).

Asking for members to take the position of mods isn't how it is done. As was said before it is a volunteer type thing. Those interested must apply for the position, not the other way around.

last time I heard, GF, had to answer a war crimes court of inquiry about his dubious actions. after a nasty spanking in the court of public opinion, GF was told: "I'll let you off easy with a spanking this time...young man...but in future respect your elders.":p

Oh we did/do it that way. :) Prolly easier for us though since all mods/admin have met irl in the past.

How does one go from junior member to member to senior member as far as classification? Just wondering.

Certain number of posts :) (i think 50)

fox2wolf,

Junior to senior status is post count driven and occurs at 100 posts.

Bachus,

Prehaps I was not plain.

This means that Porfiry has sole control upon this, as it should be. He owns the site, he should and does have control upon his creation.
