Don't fail to tell her that there is a commitment of time, PF. If a person is designated as a moderator and is never there to help, the job falls upon the one or two moderators who are actually there.

It just isn't fair for someone to take a slot and then not do any work. I don't think that was stressed in the beginning and at that time, Minotaur and I know how it was when there were moderators in name only. And connie probably knows how it is now. It is difficult if one or two persons are doing it all.

I don't know how much time it consumes now, but please let her know from the beginning about that.
We have one now who is having problems getting on the site. It is her computer,not the site. She is trying.

Yes. I know.........and I understand Friday's computer problems... I've certainly had my share of those. And Judy is working long hours and can't be here. That's not what I meant. We had one, Husky something who never was here and BP was a great moderator but he just didn't have the time. There's nothing wrong with not having time........ but I think that it should be mentioned to potential moderators up front so they can give it some thought. And sometimes even when that is done, stuff happens.

I meant no insult to any moderators who weren't here. Life happens and I appreciate that they were willing to try.

Jen I did not take it as an insult. I just wanted all to know what is going on with Friday. She can get on other boards,but SW will take care of it.

I work full time night shift. Sometimes I log on when I get off work, but not always. I usually come here on my days off. I don't want to take the job if I'm not able to be here for the time required. I was thinking it was something I could do just whenever I was here. Oh well. :(

Jen's perspective is from the organizing timeframe and I imagine it was more intense back in the day. When in doubt converse with Phil and connie privately as they know whether any massive commitment is required. Volunteering is volunteering. Or as Johnnie Cochran would say...

If it doesn't fit,
You must quit ;)

I think all the moderators work. So don't write it off because of that............talk to connie and phil and Friday........... and the admin. Between you you can figure out if you can be here enough to do what is needed. I think you would be a great moderator, Rose. I hope it works out.:)

It was a lot more time consuming back in the day. They know what is needed time-wise. I hope that Rose becomes a moderator.

Yep it was consuming winging it initially. Argh! They seem to have it down pretty good and the new website may even make it easier. Hope so. ;)

She'll know if she talks to them whether it is right for her or it works for all of them.

It is something you can do when you are here.

When you can, where you can. Nothing more.

Look how kind and encouraging everyone was to me back in October, 2013. They wanted me to be a Moderator. Things sure have changed.;)

I'm still the same sweet lady I've always been.:)
Probably so.

My guess is that you're a bit gullible too, @Sunset Rose, (as am I) and someone told you bad things about some other posters here and you are acting on those stories.

No one here is nice when someone gets in our face in a not-so-nice way because we have been burned before. Pretty sure that's what happened. Someone said bad things, you were snippy with those the bad things were said about, those you were snippy with didn't become a weepy doormat...............thus proving to you that the "tales" you heard were true.

I don't tell anyone that I'm nice. If they see it, it's good. If they don't....... then they weren't supposed to be my friend in the first place.
