moonlapse...if you wouldnt mind reading over what i said a few posts ago, and letting me know what you think. thanks
I had read over it, just didn't feel it necessary to comment.
Regarding the added workload, I'm all for it. That's the reason I volunteered for the position, and I suppose people nominated me because they felt I could handle it. After the first few weeks things sort of died down drastically and I'm essentially not needing to do any moderating duties because everybody is following the rules (thanks alot for that guys, very appreciated).
So, seeing as our community is still relatively small, I think even if we allow loosely off-topic matter, it won't become an overburden on the current moderators (myself and Anna) because people here have learned how to stay within the bounds.
If there is a need for another moderator, I'm sure the same electoral procedure will repeat itself and we'll end up with one. The prospect hasn't really crossed my mind, because at the time being, the current moderators are more than enough to cope with this forum. And I'll stress again that this is largely to the community learning to abide by the rules, for which I am *very* grateful.
As for yourself. You've always struck me as a relatively intelligent poster, and I know that you're capable of constructive input into the forum. I hate to pass judgement, but you also strike me as a person who likes to have their cake and eat it, so to speak. I personally don't think, after how you've treated this forum in recent times, that you are deserving of a position of authority, although I have no doubt you would manage one without hassle. But this issue is probably one best discussed at a different time, in a different thread, under different circumstances.
