Re: Suggestions for the Forum

[GuardianAngel]

The added sleuthing no spoiler threads are very active, which I'm happy about. Far more are participating this season than last season, and they are all doing a great job.

It's a whole extra category to moderate so yes, added work there. I'm always in there first before I read anything else, and keep an eye on it all day long just for that reason. I'm glad veg alerted you Kasha.

The main issue is someone will post in the spoiler threads how wonderful they are doing in the non-spoiler threads. 
So like ringing a dinner bell, now all these members head down to the non-spoilers to see what is going on. 
Then invariably someone forgets where they are and posts something that should not be there.

Update

I have asked AAL to be the mod in the international threads, she has accepted. She has come a long way since joining, she's very helpful in those threads, and actually quite amazing at sleuthing.

Seabear has agreed to be a mod.
Ladybug has agreed but doesn't know how much time she can spend in the next several weeks due to work and personal issues.

I have also asked veg_out for the Non Spoiled threads, waiting to hear from her.

I will create a hidden thread, so those mods, as well as lipsis bleuberry and linds can have a place where I can communicate with them and they can post. They pm me when they ask questions, or lipsis will pm me with problem posts, it will be easier for me if they had their own thread as well. We will all see the thread, they won't see our thread. Try and post in there as well so it's not obvious.

Also, I need to create a title for that thread. I don't want to call it moderators because I don't want us to get confused. Any idea's on what to call it?

Oh I just had a thought, maybe colour the title as well?

[Kashathediva]

Do not just color it, please, as much as I would like to say I am on the ball, I could goof. 
I would HATE that. 
How about color it like a neon or purple/pink-something that stands out and something like Behind the Scenes--Moderator communications  It can be abbrev. BTS for our future reference.

[GuardianAngel]

I like Behind the Scenes - Mods

IA I know I'd goof as well. I wouldn't do it in red, I'd be confused for sure. It has to be totally different.

Any other ideas, or any other suggestions for mods, let me know.

[GuardianAngel]

Just to triple confirm, because I always do, I signed in as my normal user captiva, and I do not see the new Mod thread, or our old Mod thread. I triple checked the new Moderator Group can only see their own new thread.

I will name it Behind the Scene - Moderator Group.

At the bottom of the forum page, you will see Moderators (that's us) and Moderator Group - that's the others, if that helps in sorting us out.

I'm still setting up. I will work on changing the colour of the title next.

ETA: I also changed the problem where there are random threads that can't be accessed by the mods. That is fixed now. It's something I never noticed when creating new threads. There is a specific section I have to check off for "Can moderate this forum", never realized it was there.

I will admit that I almost choked when I saw AAL as one of the mods. I don't do the international threads but still think she's crackers and just hides it well most of the time. Hope it doesn't go to her head.

[Kashathediva]

I think she will be fine.
The international threads are very heavy trafficked. She adds to a lot there. She knows the crowd. 
And on a selfish note, it is one tremendous burden off of us! Those threads start going lickity split one season following the next and it adds a lot of work to the rest of the forum. 
So I am personally glad.

[GuardianAngel]

There are 109 topics in that category. 6 different franchises on the go. They are sleuthing in all 6 shows.

Plus they have fan forums.

AAL moves posts around, sleuths brings a ton of info to most of the threads and helps others. She posts what threads need to be created all the time. She's a big help.

Seems to me she may be away right now. I think she mentioned awhile back she was going to be away.

[Kashathediva]

She wouldn't be the first crazy mod. I think I take that title. 

[albean99]

You guys know best with those threads. I'm happy as long as she mostly stays out of the other threads.

[GuardianAngel]

I'm trying to colour those threads and it's not working. I need to chill for the rest of the evening, what's left of it.

Accomplished a lot today! Everyone is happy! Seabear's response to my pm sounded like a resume, she's so sweet. I've been watching her for awhile now. I enjoy her posts.
