Who do you think will be MLA's replacement?

This deserves a new thread.

I'd rather see how MLA feels about it before we start a thread on it.

For all I know he could be utterly devestated about giving up mod position in such a manner.

I already made the poll.  

I'll lock the thread if he asks me to.

 

I'm sure he won't mind too much , I just thought best to check first

Thanks, it's all good.

One of two things will happen.  This will wake him up and he will appoint someone right away (odds 1 in 50), or he will do absolutely nothing as he hasn't even noticed or cared that I left and won't appoint anybody until something seriously melts down that affects his cash flow.

Who is Buzz?

BTW it isn't hard to change a name in someone's profile and if it were limited it wouldn't be too bad.

Yes but with that many users MLA would never be able to do anything else.


Buzz is my sisters dog it likes to get out and she has signs near all the doors Where's Buzz.  It just keeps popping up in my head and I had to type it

Why would you ask me for moderating advice only to do the exact opposite of everything I said less than 24 hours later?  I know you asked me to keep the request between us, but now that you are badmouthing me on your board I see little purpose in protecting your confidence.

OK, You had every right to make a scene, I only said that because I wanted you to stay and I had no intention of badmouthing you. How am I doing the exact opposite of what you said? I asked you for advice because I think the "whiners" as you call them are going to make my job hell. I admit to making a rookie mistake by overreacting to another situation. You seem to take issue with MAA. Is there anything I should know about?

[midlifeaspie]

The "opposite advice" was when I told you to tone down the "strict mod" routine and you started announcing that you were the site's resident "hard-ass".

I don't "take issue" with MAA.  I did have some advice to share that has all been placed in Manny's Ask Away thread, but he seems completely uninterested in advice from someone with experience.

change the thread name to "midlife's school of moderating"

change the thread name to "midlife's school of moderating" 

That might be useful as a separate thread

Very well, I apologize if what I said came off as badmouthing you. TBH I was going to go to Quatermass for advice, but I decided to go to you because he would have probably have told me to keep up the "strict mod" routine that I have found out may not work.  I'm open to suggestions from anyone, but I went to you because I trust you. Also, I very much intend to tone down the "strict" routine.

You would still go to Quatermass for advice?  Even after all the negative things you said about him in this very thread?  Even after your last experience in trying to do that?  Why?
