Discuss about checkers game or find new opponents. No insulting, baiting or flaming other players. Off topic posts are subject to deletion and if it persists the poster faces sanctions. This board is for checkers.
A main moderator should never feel pressure to make someone who demands it, the new co-mod. The idea is for the main mod to add his own co-mods, people who work well with him. It is their choice who they make a co-mod. It sounds to me like people are being a tad pushy and almost sounding demanding that they or their buddies be made a new Co mod. You cannot force a Main mod to make you a co mod.
Rose: I would never accepted it as a "forced thing", Rose! I'm just offering me to help Purple in this board. I feel I can be useful, that's why I do it. However, it's much easier for me just being here without any responsability as co-mod... Besides, it's clear for me that some checkers players don't feel confortable here. It's a fact that Purple and his co-mod's are friends, and (as any other "group" in brainking) have better relations with some other groups,and worst with some others. I think my inclusion could contribute for a largest "meeting" of checkers "sensibilities"... I don't know if I'm explaining myself in proper therms...
Gabriel Almeida: I appreciate your comments but the main job of a co-moderator here is to assure that no one can feel comfortable on this board when they attack, demean, insult, degrade or belittle other people. This is a tightly run board and they will be hidden, deleted or banned for doing so. Further there are a few people who never post regarding checkers but love to stray far off topic with their posts. This also needs to be discouraged. My co-moderator and the Globals have done an excellent job in assisting me in this. If and when I determine Nomad will not return or that I need another co-moderaor then a decision will be made. I wanted to clarify my criteria. Thanks.
Purple: Yes, of course! I agree with you, Purple! There are rules. I can see the diference in the responsability as being a mod or just someone who makes some posts in this board. Fantas, thank you for your words! I hope I can make a such good work in all boards I will mod, as I'm doing in Tugas!
Rose: Gabriel has reason. For me, Gabriel is the right person to be a great co moderator. He plays every checkers variant with success and he can help Purple. Nomad goes out and Ustica isn’t fluent in english. Besides, Gabriel is very creative and I’m sure he goes improve Checkers forum. I, Gabriel and Andre don’t want pressure Purple. One thing is opinion and other, completely different, is pressure someone. You can see link Checkers (Purple, 2006-11-08 23:12:30) where Purple said that if Nomad didn’t come back, Gabriel Almeida could take his place
