Administrators Chad Posted July 28, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hey all, The Klipsch Community forums have more or less always been "self-policing", allowing us to be "hands-off" in terms of moderating. But, we'd rather not risk a chance of something that is breaking the rules slipping through the cracks. Therefore, we are thinking it would be best to have a few more active moderators on these forums. Occasionally, things get reported that aren't handled quickly enough, and that's my fault. I'm a pretty busy guy here @ Klipsch, and I don't get to read a lot of the forums here on a daily basis. I check in when I can. Here is our current list of users with moderator privileges: Myself Alex L. Amy Steve Phillips Youthman Groomlakearea51 dtel's wife Mallette Justin_tx_16 jhoak Some of those people aren't very active here currently, so we need 2-4 more active, trustworthy users to be "promoted" to moderator status. Moderators will have the ability to lock/delete/edit threads as well as access the Moderator Control Panel, which allows Mods to communicate with each other before handling an issue, and assigning permanent/temporary bans if a user does something really bad (that doesn't happen very often, but sometimes spammers slip though our safeguards). Moderators aren't immune from being moderated themselves, BTW. "WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN" doesn't apply here. So, please post here with your nominations. Feel free to nominate yourself too. If we have a lot of solid nominations, I'll set up a poll so everyone can vote for the top 2-4. If you are nominated and don't wish to be a moderator, be sure to let us know that as well. We have a few candidates in mind, but also want a consensus. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 What Carl said. I think overall Dtel is probably the best candidate available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Somehow, I don't think dtel wants this; but, if he does, I'm for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjd Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Daddy Dee would probably make a fine moderator. I'm also intrigued by a 'forum power couple' of dtel and dtel's wife! We just might see them mentioned in the next Huffington Post article along with these other 'power couples.' Melinda and Bill Gates Alan Greenspan and Andrea Mitchell Will and Jada Pinkett Smith Victoria and David Beckham Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng Murdoch Les Moonves & Julie Chen Barry Diller and Diane Von Furstenberg Barack and Michelle Obama Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I nominate Willand. Shakey Shakey, Thanks for the vote of confidence(or is it satire? ) but my computer skills are far far less honed than many other folks here on the forum. I will have to decline the nomination but thanks anyway. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjd Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Daddy Dee would probably make a fine moderator. Agreed. I also think that Marvel (Bruce) would make a fine moderator too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
