I've always seen mods as people who are rarely around, less humourous people, so I would never see Summo as a moderator.

Well, you didn't need a new thread to cover it when there was already one covering GF moderators. Still, anything to get you through those last few steps towards the Deity Couch, I suppose

I've always been against moderators as their basic function is to control, and I've always been proud of the freedom our forums bring.
For me theres more hostility on this forum than I recall in the past. Theres more intolerance and frankly theres so much aggressive behaviour that it makes me wince.
The recent trend of STFU images and the like has been quite amusing, but its only making it worse, as people are now looking for the slightest excuse to publish their latest creation.
I cant say I dont look forward to them, but I'm sometimes appalled at the ease at which some people are flamed to a crisp for saying hi in the wrong place.
A little restraint is called for, and I think someone has to apply that restraint for the good of all users of this forum.
Its difficult for me. To me BarrysWorld has always been something born of the community. Those who dont know our history might be suprised to learn that BarrysWorld was originally the Clan Server side of Tortured Souls and we're very proud of our roots.
We're now owned by a corporate, but they give us considerable freedom, if we look them in the eye and say "yes, this is community, its good". I'm having trouble doing that right now, so I think its time for a little change.
I think Someguy and Damini might be good moderators of this forum, as they're both regulars so understand where you buggers are coming from, but both show understanding and maturity that may well make them good at it.
Just because I've been against moderation, doesnt mean I was right.
I'm open to suggestions, but I think a "hand on the tiller" is called for.
