Message 459205 - Posted: 16 Nov 2006, 20:46:54 UTC


I'm setting up an experiment that will automatically assign some new moderators based upon a few criteria that have been chosen to (I hope) give an indication of a persons commitment to the project.

I'm going to start out with 20 new mods. We'll see how it goes.

Can I suggest Misfit, CR, Tom Koenig, Beethoven, Champ, and, of course, myself?

And I forgot, BrainSmasheR will be a good choice also, he's being picked on all the time, and being a moderator he can defend himself and be in control. And he will behave as a moderator should do being a moderator.

The database decides based upon a method that I can't disclose for fear people might try to increase their rank through nefarious means... It has chosen at least one person from the list above. Maybe more. All I saw was a list of 20 userids (21 actually since one of the existing mods was already on the list.)

Yep, by the criteria the DB uses we only had one qualified moderator. And it wasn't me.

How come you do this toward the weekend instead of on a Monday?
Maybe so you can run for cover over the weekend? :-)

Hi there Matt

An interesting way to give an unbiased selection for the new Moderator team. They will certainly have one advantage on the rest of us, because they will exist on a computer twice.

First: in their user ID;

Second: in their computer-generated Moderatorship.

An excellent way to go, and I would guess and completely unbiased selection who are quite likely to keep the Forums in order.

Good on you -- excellent approach, and I commend you for it.
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

It's getting to be winter. The flames will keep me toasty warm.

As I said it's an experiment. No guarantees of success.

And they can watch over each other for any kind of bias. That will be the best that has happened to this board for a very long time.

BTW, new mods aren't on the mod mailing list unless they ask me to put them there. Mods can mail me at < my last name > @ < ssl dot berkeley dot edu > if they want to get the list.

At least there will be less complaints to the financial supporters. I think...

But let's see where this takes us.
