Re: New Moderators Wanted.

Thanks Agent, I appreciate the vote of confidence!

Any openings for mods in the Motorola forum?

Any chance that the 100 post count could be waived provided the application meets acceptable criteria? I am new here but i'd love to be a part of a welcoming phone forum with people whose interests are aligned with mine.

You don't necessarily have to be a mod to welcome people

Very true, but i'd love a chance to participate on a slightly more involved level. I'm happy I found the forum anyway though.

I welcomed people here for a long time before I was suckered.....um...I mean, was asked to become a Mod.

There really isn't that much of a difference between a regular member and a Moderator except that sometimes you get 50 private messages asking for something totally ridiculous like the ability to ban somebody cause they said something you don't like...or the fact that we are mods and have some kind of super power to give them free things for their phones....or....and this is the big thing that gets all new Moderators....answering the same question over, and over, and over....did I say over......and over.

Besides that....we are all on basically the same playing field.

So please, if you feel like welcoming somebody new to the forum, and maybe answering their questions.....do so...and with our sincere appreciation....we need all the help we can get.

That being said its also an extra chance to participate in the growing of the forum by being a part of it from the inside looking out. Unfortunately I just came across this forum after one day having the brain storm to actually see if there were other forums out there besides the most common.

I will contribute just the same, moderator or regular member but if there is a chance to participate on another level, on a more helpful playing field then I would welcome such an opportunity. Tenure shouldn't be congruent to the level of contribution I could offer to the members. Barack Obama would agree!!

The "most common" has become a bit "too common" for my tastes. I used to be a regular on the "most common" site. Unfortunately that site has really gone downhill. The juvenile posts there are at a record high.

And some of the mods there are even more juvenile.

One of my friends from that site ... who is a brilliant guy and an employee of a major carrier ... was banned for pointing out that another carrier offered weak service. Several of us were SHOCKED that someone could be banned for criticizing a carrier's service especially when the personal attack flame posts on that site are so frequently out of control. When I "dared" to question why my friend (who posted terriific content) was banned, I was banned for daring to question the authority of the mod. I sent them a PM and told them to cancel my account. I've been here ever since.

CPF has a higher class of participants and classier mods. I hope that this continues. Sometimes growth can be its own worst enemy. Let's keep our fingers crossed that CPF always retains its higher standards.

I'll try

do i have to apply again

i never get in...

bump

In truth probably good advise for anyone ... moderating or participating.

It's nice and refreshing to see posts such as yours once in a while, let's us know that some of our hard work is acknowleged by some and keeps them coming back to our forum so that they will hopefully become part of our regular members.

Thanks for your kind words and welcome to CPF.
