Looking for CURATORS

I don't see why you folks would need mods if Guybrush and Trollheart are both active

At the moment, they probably don't, but if this place grows to, say, a hundred members, then mods will be needed. Also what if Guybrush or Trolls have to leave the forum temporarily for real life issues? Then you need to have backup.

So, yeah, mods will be ultimately necessary unless you like seeing ads in Vietnamese all the time.

You're right. I should have said Russian.

I don't think the vietnamese spambots care much.

If this place continues to grow and the spambots come, we will eventually need a moderator of the usual kind. However, it won't be someone who can ban people completely unchecked. Me and Trollheart have already agreed on our own system of checks and balances so that we won't go on our own banning rampages and so hopefully it makes sense that we'll extend this also to moderators. We'll also strive to be transparent about what we do, how and why and will inform you of important decisions with a thread on this board.

Currently, I think we will need a single person at some point in the future. Maybe we'll call him or her Community manager or something like that. In the even more distant future, that person might even need a helper or two - but just to be completely clear - it is not my wish or intention to create a large group of moderators who wear that title merely as a status symbol and who use it to bully other members. If we have moderators, it's because there's work for them that needs doing.

Introducing curators

This forum had both moderators and global moderators where moderators have the power to sticky, edit, move threads etc. but can't ban while the global moderator has banning permissions. Unfortunately, I didn't quite figure this out until after I'd made this thread.

To avoid confusion, we have decided to rename the (regular) moderator to curator. It aligns nicely with the definition of a caretaker for a collection or exhibition. A forum can be said to be both those things; a collection of threads and posts presented to an audience.

I will reword the original post to reflect this change and make it clear that we are currently looking for curators.
