George, Digger, BRR - Petition for Training Forum Mods

[blut wump]

Please take the time to consider points raised in this thread on the training forum:
http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=490909

There has recently been a spate of threads bemoaning the lack of resident mods in the Weights and Training Forum. We would be grateful for your attention and response in the thread I linked to.

IMHO i think when the site owners and Admin agree that additional Mods are required they should produce a short list obtained from the Mod Forum (as these are who they will be working with and can debate the pro's and cons of each member).

When this is completed then the owners / Admin can set up a poll and see how popular the selection would be.

With both pieces of information the owners / Admin can make a decision.

The are many different attributes to being a Mod IMHO not only knowledge but also their posting manner and handling of potential drama situations. Different skills for different forums.

Along with that then yes their is commitment etc

No flame but threads like these just force issues and can lead to wrong / quick decisions.

IMHO if we were all a bit more grown up and put the word Karma in the swear filter then it would reduce the drama by 70% and we would not need additional Mods.
Thats a joke by the way and good luck with your goals of being a Mod but IMHO not the right way to go about it as the decisions should lay with the management as it does with any other staff from any other business (as Elitefitness is a business and we must respect that)

Wrongun!

I agree entirely with your sentiment.

However, there's been a brewing unrest in the training forum due to a long-term lack of a resident mod and one of the Elite Mods suggested this might be the best approach even though I'm assured there are already threads in the mod forum on the matter. Despite reservations mirroring your own, I found myself agreeing.
