I would be willing to do it.
I think we could use another active mod. In general my position would be more community modding focused. Having eaten my first ban (which I think was undeserved) - I debated fully quitting this board, but am willing to try to be part of the solution (assuming there can still be one):
In particular:
-
In most situations, try to talk to problem posters before banning. I think most posters here are reasonable and will tone things down when requested. Bans only after requests are ignored (obvious except for repeated bad acts).
-
Be willing to discuss decisions. As a community run board, mods should be responsive to the community and be willing to engage regarding their decisions (and hopefully modify their actions based on community input). I’m sure I wouldn’t be a perfect mod, but I’d do my best to listen to concerns and try to improve my decision making.
-
Silence - not ban. Having received my first ban ever, it sucks. It makes UP completely unreadable as you can’t see where you left off in a thread. Also would be nice to still be able to send DMs. I get it’s only a ban/message board, but it still felt pretty harsh. I thought we had already decided to switch to silencing, but I would only silence and convert all bans.
