Sadly, I think the moderators are going to be busy, as there are many opposing points of view, with posters sometimes getting a bit carried away.
Being a moderator is a good way to lose computer chess 'friends' without even trying.
Just look at the good members who've pulled the pin on Talkchess already.
Being a moderator under these circumstances is losing its appeal.

Re: Moderator Elections
It is on hold for as long as a large fraction of the members cannot reliably access the board. Especially when I am amongst those users. I only have a few minutes of access a day, the rest of the time I get the 403 error.

Re: Moderator Elections
I think we can solve that issue. Instead of having only 3 moderators for all forums, we may have 5 men for each (sub) forum, say, 5 men for only “General topics”, other 5 men for “Programming…”. Thus they don’t need to read much and at a time there may be more than a moderator to read and rule. A moderator may be hard in one forum but could be a normal friend in other ones. They don’t need to pay high prices for doing their duties.Graham Banks wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 3:54 am Sadly, I think the moderators are going to be busy, as there are many opposing points of view, with posters sometimes getting a bit carried away.

Re: Moderator Elections
So when is this moderator election actually going to take place?

Re: Moderator Elections
Well, I don't know. I thought the 'Forbidden' problem would have been solved, but I still saw recent complaints about this. So apparently it is not. It is for me, though, so I had no reason to pursue it further. Perhaps someone should make an effort to figure out what the current status is, and if that is conducive to having elections.

I've had no problems from the UK for about 2 weeks now, so it seems to be solved for that country.

Re: Moderator Elections
Can we now do new moderator elections or is the team in charge thinking that the topic fades away ?!
