Hi guys,

Welcome to the new forum.

I talked to Henri about creating this new forum. The idea of the forum flows from these two discussions.

The discussion

The poll

I will also be running a poll for nominating moderators for this forum. This will be a big one because Henri would like us to find moderators for the beta & suggestions forums as well. I also intend to get another moderator for the COM & UDF forums.

Before I start this though, I am thinking of running a poll concerning what policies we would like for staffing the moderator positions.

I am a bit tight for time right now so I am planning to start the poll on Wednesday this week.

I would welcome any ideas concerning these policies.

Some possible policies I thought of:

1) Give existing moderators priorty for switching to a vacant moderator post. (Thus in this case all our current moderators would be offered the new vacancies before we start the poll.)
2) A person can only moderate 1 forum.
3) Potential new moderators must be on MCA's top 50 list or have more than 100 posts and they must have been active on the board in the last 3 months.
4) Any moderator not active on the board for more than 3 months will be replaced.
5) We nominate new moderators through a poll.

These are just quick & rough thoughs, please let me know your ideas and comments. It will help me design the poll.
