I'm curious how the moderators on ET were/are chosen-I'm very impressed with the selections btw..I really like how some of the moderators, like Jason and Michael are very involved with discussions on multiple threads- Did Phil offer you the positions, or did you volunteer? If it's too personal a question, my apologies...I'm just curious.. I would assume some of you have past moderator experience, as you handle the position superbly...
2 other message boards I used to frequent had different methods of picking moderators-One would ask for volunteers- the other would offer the moderator spots to chosen individuals. I'm curious how they are chosen on ET...
Whatever the formula is-it works-I've seen message boards where some moderators let their power go to their head, and squelch any and all dissent- i haven't seen that here..
A few years ago I used to be one of the moderators on the official Doors website messageboard. Over there a person was pmed an invite for a moderator spot- People who offered to volunteer to moderate (without having been contacted first) were usually denied the chance, unless they were invited.
..A hectic work schedule at the time resulted in my being dethroned..ah well...
