KB needs a senior moderator.

[SpankMe]

The sites getting bigger so I need a little more help. Looking for people to nominate members who they think would be a good senior moderator.

Nominee needs to be:
A senior member
An everyday site user and regular poster.
Familiar with all aspects of how to use this site.
A dedicated biker
and of cause a Kiwi.
The job does require some work, so the new Mod needs to be able to do the following.
Read most of what gets posted
Keep threads on topic and in the correct forum
Merge/split, copy/move threads to achieve the above
Ensure calendar events have sufficient info and is in correct calendar
Add regular questions asked in the forum to the FAQ
Help out new members with using the forums
Ensure everybody plays nice
and do all this without getting heavy handed.

[White trash]

You forgot.

:not a Nazi

Oh yeah, heavy handed. My mistake, carry on.

[ajturbo]

hey how about Riff Raff, she online 25/8!!
with nothing else to do:innocent:




well she may be busy for around 5 minuets a day when a certain KBer comes round. :innocent:

[Posh Tourer :P]

jrandom... if he's keen....

[Posh Tourer :P]

Also a vote for FF, if he can find his way around the site well enough :Pokey:

[DEATH_INC.]

Yeh,either f/f or Quasi

[Riff Raff]

Give the guy some credit.. gotta be at least 6 minutes. :cool2:
Er make that 2 hours!!!! :lust:

I vote for F/F, Quasi or White Trash

[jrandom]

I'd be happy with Dave too, if he has time to do it.

That's the main problem I see - all the guys who *could* do this job are probably pretty busy and run a high risk of not being able to do it justice.

I don't think I could manage it - I know I sneak a lot of time on here and post craploads but realistically I can't guarantee my availability if the forum actually depended on it in any way.

Perhaps it'd be better to have a wee posse, two or three in that position, who'd offer more chance of giving the forum moderator coverage?

Anyway, *I* nominate Hitcher and/or Jim2.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Anyway, *I* nominate Hitcher and/or Jim2.


I would have, but I didnt want to throw in people I don't really know...(pseudo-vote)

WT would be good fun as a moderator.....

[ajturbo]

Give the guy some credit.. gotta be at least 6 minutes. :cool2:


i was talking about the one that brings the new battries around...they only last that long..... :whistle: :laugh:

[Posh Tourer :P]

I vote for SpeedMedic

[ajturbo]

i have met SM and if he is a Senior memeber.. and i think he would be great .... :baby:

[riffer]

I nominate Hitcher. :yeah:

Then maybe he'll help us get a grammar and spellchecker onto KB.

[Blakamin]

I nominate Hitcher. :yeah:

Then maybe he'll help us get a grammar and spellchecker onto KB.
Very good point....
unless you want someone who spends more time here and posts more than anyone at all... (and knows HTML and shit) :rolleyes:

[MadDuck]

I would have thought XJ/Frosty spends a shite load of time on here and knows his way around a puter - well kinda.

Quasi is the ultimate organiser of KB rides so perhaps best we leave him doing that IMHO

[vifferman]

Better than a broken ass TL :sneaky2: What's up with that, SM? Is it fixable?

[Indiana_Jones]

I say Celtic_Sea_lily, she seems to hang around alot :)

-Indy

[Racey Rider]

I would have voted for Hitcher,

But I'm still a little upset by resent events <_< :moon:

[Shade]

KK

Nuff said

[SPORK]

I'd say Blakamin, no one else is on more, and with new privaliges, it may slow his posting down...

[Marmoot]

I'd say Spudchucka

[Kwaka-Kid]

Its a shame FF Has enough trouble finding the ON button on any computer other then his own, let alone even more clicking then hes used to on KB.. because i think he would make the best moderator we could have. How about Some of us more geeky (or is it just me?) as he calls us, KB members take him on as like an apprentice geek. Id take the challenge on teaching FF to use the web/KB in a more understanding manner, only i think if i went around there to do so hed break my nose! :P

So, I guess that leaves our beloved PT, or Frosty, or THE REAL, ORIGINAL RR, yeah you heard me RiffRaff, you stole RaceyRiders initials... now stealing a young KBer is one thing... but straight up changing your name to steal ones initials? sheesh...:p teehee!

[Milky]

Hmmm...

Sorry to seem negative here, but given the requirement for regular logins, PT is not a good choice, what with his upcoming expedition. As for FF, i think KK said it so well :p


That's the main problem I see - all the guys who *could* do this job are probably pretty busy and run a high risk of not being able to do it justice.

I definitely agree with that, his randomness, KK and frosty seem to have busy lives. We need some respected unemployed senior member, maybe even a retired one :spudwhat: anyone fit the bill?

I have no idea about hitcher/jim2 and their repsective computational ability, but if they are confident, I support either as a moderator... Hitcher seems cranky enough to be retired too :sly:

[Al]

My choice/s are:
FireFight - everyone knows why!
Jrandom - wicked sense of humour.....hehehe
Hitcher - takes no shit

Al

[Wellyman]

I vote FF becuase in my opinion i think he is one of the wisest senior member.
I may not be a senior member but I have done a lot of my own forums check out www.crfriders.tk
that site was all my work i'm the owner and manager of the site admin and do all the work.

[6Chris6]

I vote Hitcher.
He has no bias (gives everybody shit)

[Hooks]

I too think that either Hitcher or Jim2 or even Blakemin would turn the trick !!

[toads]

Well I think Hitcher is the most obvious choice, FF doesn't spend as much time online, Jackrat would be another good choice also, always has excellent advice.
Failing them, Jim2 is in I.T and knows what he's doing and is online regularly too.

[Sniper]

I nominate Jim2, JR and Quasi. Can I place 3 votes??

[Sniper]

Oh yea, and Hitcher :) :)

[James Deuce]

I have to pass up the opportunity as I am doing 3 masters papers this year as well as work and family, so despite the fact that I would have enjoyed making sure that White Trash couldn't have posted a THING, next year is out.

I reckon that Hitcher, Spudchucka, or F/F would be your best bets. None of them are complete dunces and all of them have comparatively thick hides too.

[jrandom]

Hitcher emerges as a clear choice, I think.

He's not officially retired yet, but his bike gives him 'halfway-there' status. :moon:

[Riff Raff]

So, I guess that leaves our beloved PT, or Frosty, or THE REAL, ORIGINAL RR, yeah you heard me RiffRaff, you stole RaceyRiders initials... !
:o

now stealing a young KBer is one thing...
:devil2: :devil2: :devil2: :devil2:

[Two Smoker]

Well, my first vote goes to KK, but he doesnt use it enough... Then there is three left.....

-WT (He posts the most BS and is quite amusing)

-Hitcher (Reads alot and has witty and intelligent posts, usually saying about how crap my speeling (sp) hehehe is)

-JRandom (Well he spouts the most crap on here and spends the most time on here. He is also one of the geekiest and doesnt mind popping a mean wheelie or burnie hehehe)

[SPman]

Hitcher probably

You dont need to read everything by yrslf. Or be on all the time. (F**kn crashing computer - doing the old IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL thing! Think its time to move to Linux!).Just need somebody to be on most of the time.

Dave would be OK, but you need to be able to do a bit more than just be able to turn on a computer. :whistle:

[toads]

if you have got irq conflicts you need to shuffle stuff around in your pci slots, makes a shitload of difference in my experience, I doubt changing os would make a difference

[Ms Piggy]

I say Celtic_Sea_lily, she seems to hang around alot :)

-Indy
Thats very sweet of you but I'm a computer bimbo & haven't you ever seen me whinging about study. I don't think I'd have time - sorry.

I vote for Hitcher, Jim2, Firefight, Whitetrash or Quasi. They all seem onto it enough. Well any of the senoir members seem pretty good options actually.

[edit: just read Jim2 declining, I really should read the whole thread before posting!]

[Posh Tourer :P]

SM, I can't do it, I'm on holiday for the next two years.

Hitcher or Blakamin are my pics, seeing as Jim2 and jrandom have declined.

Also votes for Speedmedic and Firefight if they are keen.

Funny thing though, I don't think Hitcher has read this yet....

[Mr Skid]

We need someone with lots of spare time and smart as.

What about Mikey? He's unemployed and he was the dux of his college :shutup:

[Slipstream]

My choice/s are:
FireFight - everyone knows why!
Jrandom - wicked sense of humour.....hehehe
Hitcher - takes no shit

Al
I Totally agree...but I also say Quasi too :)

:banana: :banana: :banana:

[spudchucka]

I reckon that Hitcher, Spudchucka, or F/F would be your best bets. None of them are complete dunces and all of them have comparatively thick hides too.
Just partial dunces! My vote is for Mr Hitcher.

[Slipstream]

ME!



:killingme :killingme :killingme :killingme



but I won't....

[SpankMe]

Various people being nominated, but no one accepting their nomination.

[Posh Tourer :P]

well, of those who haven't turned it down yet, there are FF, Hitcher, Blakamin (who almost nominated himself), SpeedMedic (in a shared position?), Slipstream, Jackrat, Spud, WT and Quasi

Last one to turn it down gets the job :bleh:

[Blakamin]

Various people being nominated, but no one accepting their nomination.
everybody is being polite.... If ya get desperate, I'll do it.... (got a whole 5 hours work this week and I do it from home) :spudwhat:

[Jantar]

As a fairly new person in this forum my early impressions are that either Paul in NZ or NC30_chick would both make great moderators.

[StoneChucker]

What are you on!???

Do you WANT the site to change to www.guzzibiker.co.nz?

And whats the definition of a kiwi? :blah:

[Firefight]

hey everyone, thanks for the vote of confidence, but I think given my lack of computer skills,I normally have to get others to do even the basic geek stuff for me, my bad spelling, lack of. ,, ! "" : etc I would have to decline.

I'll stick to recovering bikes off 22, and lifting heavy bits of steel :apumpin:

However if anyones intersted in my opinion.


Hitcher.

Jackrat

Motu , in no particular order.


Firefight. :cool:

[Yamahamaman]

And whats the definition of a kiwi? :blah:
It's a smallish oval shaped greeny coloured fruit with hairs all over the outside ;)

[Hitcher]

Hitcher seems cranky enough to be retired too
Leading with your chin can be dangerous...

[Hitcher]

He's not officially retired yet, but his bike gives him 'halfway-there' status.
I've found the "shaft-effect override" button, so I can wheelie if I feel the need...

[Hitcher]

Funny thing though, I don't think Hitcher has read this yet...
Damn right! Mrs H says I need to get out more...

[Hitcher]

everybody is being polite.... If ya get desperate, I'll do it.... (got a whole 5 hours work this week and I do it from home)
Yay! That solves that!

Flattering as it is to get nominations of support, it's nice to be just another face in the crowd. Blakamin would do this job outstandingly well and gets my vote.

[2_SL0]

Well I would of voted FF, but he declined.So here is my list, Hitcher, Speedmedic, Blakamin, and he will prob tell me to be quiet but 750Y as well. Oh and WT is ussually fair if not a little blunt, lolol, so he gets a push from me as well.

[Slipstream]

well, of those who haven't turned it down yet, there are FF, Hitcher, Blakamin (who almost nominated himself), SpeedMedic (in a shared position?), Slipstream, Jackrat, Spud, WT and Quasi

Last one to turn it down gets the job :bleh:
Ba HA HA, I was kidding about myself ... I don't think I'd be quite right for the job ;) But I still say that "Quasi", FF or Hitcher (cos Jrandom said not really) would be the best for the job :yeah:

[White trash]

The votes of confidence are very flattering folks, but as I really only have reliable access at work, it's not right for me to accept the nominations.

If I got off my arse and got connected at home, she'd be a different story.

Posh tourer would be my pick.

[Wellyman]

Becuase FF doesn't want it I will vote for WT or speedmedic

[toads]

well it would seem that everyone except blakamin and jackrat have said they aren't too keen for the job, so by the looks of things it will have to be either of them, comeon fullas, someone needs to give spankme a helping hand, if all else fails I'd be happy to do it, but I'm not a terribly experienced bike rider at the end of the day.

[Quasievil]

mmmmmm think think think think

[toads]

mmmmmm think think think think

sorry I forgot about you Quasi!!,

[Quasievil]

sorry I forgot about you Quasi!!,
Im keen as to help, my only issue is my occasional trips overseas ie Feb 3 weeks in South America, I have logged on in Tehran so its no biggy so if thats not a issue I will help you out spank dude.
That is unless some of the others arent interested.

Thanks to those who have faith in me, you need to know me better !!!;)

If I was to vote I would vote for those previously mentioned with a big weight on Hitcher and Blakamin.

FUCK Coro Street is ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Slipstream]

Thanks to those who have faith in me, you need to know me better !!!;)


:banana: Give me a 'Q'

Give me a 'U':banana:

:banana: Give me an 'A'

Give me an 'S':banana:

:banana: Give me an 'I'



What does that spell?!?



GoooooooooOOOOOoooo QUASI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



:banana: Yaaaaaaaaaay!:banana:

[Slipstream]

Flattering as it is to get nominations of support, it's nice to be just another face in the crowd.

:spudbooge :spudbooge :spudbooge :spudbooge :spudbooge

HITCHER, HITCHER

HE'S OUR MAN

IF HE CAN'T DO IT

QUASI CAN

Yaaaaaaaaay!!!!

:spudbooge :spudbooge :spudbooge :spudbooge :spudbooge

[Hitcher]

with a big weight on Hitcher
So this is how it goes -- from ageist now to sizeist!! Skinnier mortals should be offended...

[Quasievil]

Slipstream have we meet ??? sounds like ya know me, have you changed your nick from something else. Is it you who conspired with me to start a water fight in the hotpools Oh fellow short haired one:Punk:

[Slipstream]

That would be me oh Master of Conspirices :yes:

lets not mention the ductape


Tee he he

[Riff Raff]

FUCK Coro Street is ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm.... are you happy or sad about this??? This could affect the voting so think carefully before replying...

[Kwaka-Kid]

This coming from someone i heard voted top gun as a top notch movie?

Anyways spank looks like your sorted mate! And pitty about the mighty Firefighter, ah well, he is needed full time to scrape bikes up off 22 anyway, sheesh hope nobody still rides that treacherous (like the sp?) road.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Ok, so those who have made positive noises are Quasi, Blakamin and Speedmedic (vaguely).

I'd be happy with any of the three......

with Hitcher as a backup vote in case of extenuating circumstances reaching all three.

Blakamin certainly posts alot, I think we need to redirect all that energy into somthing productive :bleh:


Oh and WT, I'm off on holiday in March, traipsing around Europe for 2 years creating havoc.... I can't be sitting in internet cafes all day :P

[Blakamin]

Blakamin certainly posts alot, I think we need to redirect all that energy into somthing productive :bleh:


:killingme :killingme :killingme
I really need to find an interesting job, aye??

[Jackrat]

I've only just had a look at this thread.
Somebody nominated me,,,,,wow.
Sorry to admit it but I'm just not up to the job.I threaten to heave this PC thing off the deck at lest once a week.
I also don't belive in total freedom of speach when it comes to this type of forum.With me, nobody would've ever got to read a word of Knightriders resent post,an that's not a good thing no matter what my first responce or opinion.
So my pick would be Blakamin or Hitcher.
Or maybe Motu,we can all do with a laugh an he does it for me.

Just remember a volunteer is often a person that misunderstood the question.

[James Deuce]

Just remember a volunteer is often a person that misunderstood the question.
Everybody step...

Good on you for stepping forward Jackrat.

...back one pace

[Hitcher]

I was hoping Jim2 would vouch for my total technical incompomboblitude...

[Motu]

Or maybe Motu,we can all do with a laugh an he does it for me.


Heh heh,I'm like you Jack,I need an 11 yr old to guide me every step of the way.I'd turn it into Kiwi Dirt Biker and shut down any thread about 'I fell off on pea gravel I didn't see' or 'the car just didn't see me'' I don't like to argue - if I'm right I'm right and you're wrong,me and power wouldn't mix.

[What?]

Hmmm.... are you happy or sad about this??? This could affect the voting so think carefully before replying...
I like Coro - it gives me a whole hour to be on this site without Mrs What? haranguing me..

Oh, yeah - Hitcher gets my vote as he is the only person here more pedantic than I. Close second would have to be Quasi.
And no votes for Mikey. In fact, make that a negative vote.

[James Deuce]

Heh heh,I'm like you Jack,I need an 11 yr old to guide me every step of the way.I'd turn it into Kiwi Dirt Biker and shut down any thread about 'I fell off on pea gravel I didn't see' or 'the car just didn't see me'' I don't like to argue - if I'm right I'm right and you're wrong,me and power wouldn't mix.

Sounds like my kind of Glorious Leader..... umm, forum moderator.

[RiderInBlack]

Oh, yeah - Hitcher gets my vote as he is the only person here more pedantic than I. Close second would have to be Quasi.Hitcher would have to tame his pedantic English Teacher habits before I would vote for him. Blakamin or Quasi. Hitcher if only he can control the the English Teacher in him.

[manuboy]

Blak is the only person who has said definitely YES, and we're 6 pages in.

So Blak it is.

Just as long as like Spank says, the mod is ALMOST invisible.

[Hitcher]

Hitcher would have to tame his pedantic English Teacher habits before I would vote for him. Blakamin or Quasi. Hitcher if only he can control the the English Teacher in him.
My "pedantic English teacher habits" are tamed, believe me. I have generally bitten well through my lip before censure is applied... You obviously haven't met me when I am being REALLY pedantic. Not a pretty picture when up with things I will not put!

My vote still goes to Blakamin.

[SpankMe]

ok, is everyone agreed on, and the nominees ok with....

Blakamin as Senior Mod
Motu as Mod of Off Road forums.

[Slipstream]

ok, is everyone agreed on, and the nominees ok with....

Blakamin as Senior Mod

Yup, fine by me. They'll both do a sterling job.

B has to get a better bike than that Ducati piece o' crap.

There's a nice Honda Africa Twin at Masterton Motorcycles.

[Ghost Lemur]

Go off line for a couple of days (hit cap early), and miss all the excitement.

Congrats to Blackamin and Motu. May you serve us well. :msn-wink: :lol:

WTF!!!! :unsure: My first day back at work,my first coffee and I find I'm a MOD! Hmmm,ok,there won't be too much to do on the off road forum and me and my young helper will move into the next level slowly.I just hope a few certain members here don't find out or I could have a steeper leaning curve.

Just remember - if I say you are talking out of a hole in your arse,then you are.Spelling and punctuation are open on the Off Road forum - but text talk is out!

No fair go, my shout mate :lol:

I am so glad that this position has now all been sorted out....
Now we shall all have to watch our "p's" and "q's"....lol

I have just finished reading all eight (8) pages..... phew.....

Congratulations to the two new moderators....

[cowpoos]

vote for me...I would make and excellent senior mod...

A vote for me would bring back the humour and freedom to explore out personalities to the site....to ban honda riders....
liberate the angery people to post there hate so we can once again laugh openly at there petty-ness....to openly express our desires and feelings toward fellow humans and animals....and release boomer from the closet of his former self as a founding member of ABBA....

A vote for Poo's is a vote for liberal....

[The_Dover]

I vote Poo's.

He gives good head.

[froggyfrenchman]

i give poos a half vote, sorry mate, you just cant badmouth hondas in my presence

[Kornholio]

i give poos a half vote, sorry mate, you just cant badmouth hondas in my presence

Poo's gets my vote too(I dont wanna know about the head thing wither...) and an extra 1/2 vote from me especially if you badmouth Hondas :Punk:

[Virago]

Bugger you guys - I just read through most of the thread before looking at the dates....:wacko:

[WINJA]

poos for mod please

[Mental Trousers]

As the only person on this site that has 100% red rep I would be an obvious choice for the job. Were it not for the fact that this thread is over a year old, no one else would have a chance.
