KD Mod Nominations

SydneyK · #1 09-17-2007, 02:44 PM

Sisters in KD,

I guess saying, "We need a mod" is a little too vague. Perhaps we'd have better luck convincing John to appoint a mod if we could name someone specific.

So, if there's a sister you'd like to nominate, please do so here.

AOT,
SydneyK

Although it's unlikely that we'll get a Mod, I'd like to nominate kathykd2005. Sydney, I think you'd be great too. Of course, if someone wants the job speak up!

ETA: I would have mentioned Annie as a very obvious choice, but I think she's got a bit much on her plate and wouldn't want the position anyway.

I second your nomination of kathykd2005. Kathykd2005, are you interested?

Since you mentioned my name, I don't mind telling you that I PM'd John and offered to serve in this capacity (even if only temporarily, until a "real" mod could be identified). I never heard back from him. I wouldn't mind the position, but if someone else wants the job, I'd much rather a (capable) sister who wants to be a mod be one.

I would nominate annie, a.k.a kdonline, because I know for certain that she is an honest to goodness KD in good standing.

There are many KDs on here whose first names I don't know and to my knowledge haven't ever even mentioned their chapters.

I am highly against making someone a mod whose membership in our organization has not been verified.

I agree about Annie. She was the first person I thought of but I figured that she was too busy. If I'm wrong then absolutely Annie.

I understand what you're saying, but I'm one of those KDs who hasn't ever mentioned my chapter. I've personally seen one of my sisters cyberstalked, and I refuse to put enough info out there for the same to happen to me. If that means taking my name out of consideration, then so be it. But, I think it's unfortunate that any potential mod has to surrender her anonymity.

If there's a way to verify membership without sharing personal info (maybe directly through HQ, but that's asking a lot of them), I'm all for it, but I don't necessarily think it's fair that whoever is selected as a mod (if that ever happens) has to put herself out there like that.

Maybe I'm overreacting, and I can definitely understand why we wouldn't want a non-KD as a mod, but I don't know how to protect ourselves and verify membership at the same time.

ETA: I'm all for Annie. She has done amazing things for KD online, and would be a huge asset to our forum. I guess the question is, is she interested?

Whoops! For some reason I thought that Sydney was one of the onliners -- and, therefore, verified.

Sydney, I like you and respect you, but I do think that in order to be a KD mod you would have to be a verified member.

Been a few days since I logged on here (see where GC lies in my priorities?

), but for GC's sake... and since I have been directly involved with busting the KD perps on here - yes, I will gladly moderate this forum.

Although it would be nice to spread the workload to others... I have the KD Online newsletter, The KD Yahoogroup, the Sorority Alumnae Yahoogroup and some random facebook groups that I am responsible for.

But! When it comes to GC, I think whoever is chosen as mod should represent KD honorably... and stay out of the petty arguments that frequently occur on GC. Hey, that's just my opinion. You all know I'm a stickler to how Kappa Delta is represented online, and when my letters are attached to something not too "ta kala," I cringe... and usually PM the poster.

In any case, it doesn't matter who we want as moderator. It's all up to John & this is certainly not his priority.

Hooray, Annie!

I suggest we start flooding John's PM box with requests. And I'm going to put an Annie campaign slogan as my signature.

ETA: I'm not very creative - especially at 8:30am. So my siggy isn't very catchy. But it's true, so I just went with it.
