The position is for the forums, not the comments section. That thread was a nightmare.
I’ve never once been in the forums, I just found out they exist
I’ve tried. I don’t like them. Too many egos.
whatever, i laughed out loud more than once
Yuck, I can’t believe you actually made forums. These are rarely fun places to be, even with good moderation.
Pretty sure this site was formed because of the forums…
Are you sure? Because I’m pretty sure it’s the other way around.
Yeah, the forums are pretty new.

Gumby65, I now pronounce you “Guest”
:p
If the moderator can also put the smackdown on the recent influx of trolls to the comments of this site that would be great. I used to love reading the comments because of all the insightful stuff, but lately it has been like a Jr. High School lunchroom in here!
Something tells me that I wouldn’t last too long would I?
I don’t think you’re a troll…I’m pretty sure you make humorous and/or insightful comments. I just notice there are some new trolls on this site getting the old fogeys pissed off and the rest of us have to read (or filter through) the egotistical banter between trolls and the trolled trying to out-insult each other. It’s not a big deal…the articles on this site will continue to be good regardless of the comments.
Sweet.
Wouldn’t it be helpful and filter down on all of the e-mails you get about the position if you described the job/hobby a bit. For instance let people know the amount of hours it would require per day/week. What kind of pay, if any. Seems like it would save you alot of time cutting out the people that are half serious but do not know what the job really is.
Paid Moderator….Do those exist on the internet?
Sure, some newspapers use outsourced paid moderators, it’s more efficient to use a service that works on multiple sites.
You guys really could use a couple of comment moderators, too. Rather than just MLBTRCommentModerator.
