Geto-Dacul for Moderator !

[dragos]

This is the first election for a moderator position on this forum, and I find appropriate that the other forum members shall have a word in this matter. Members will have to vote for or against this promotion. Poll will be closed in one week.

[Geto-Dacul]

I'm honored by marshal Dragos's proposition to elevate me at the rank of moderator!
From the beginnings of this forum, I largely contributed in helping/informing people on various subjects regarding Romanian participation in WW2, militaria etc. I love those subjects and I respect every member that does the same toward me.

I'm wayting your votes.

Best regards to everyone!

Hi,

I think before the remaining 111 guys will cast their vote, it is good to know what a moderator is supposed to do in this forum.

Maybe this is mentioned somewhere as "Forum rules", and I simply did not read it yet.

I am confident that a brief clarifying of the atributes of a moderator will ease people to vote.
Vivat Schwartzeneger :!:
I always liked the guy.

Regards,
Florin

Moderators carry a big stick. That's all we need to know.... :roll:

Schwartzy the Austrian, married with a Kennedy clan woman, governing the soon to be Spanish California. Hollywood drools!. OOps, rules!

Closer to home. Now we have the other "referendum" extended to October 18 too. I hope the ones who are in favor (and thus go to vote) will be encouraged to vote twice. Why not have a full month for voting at the referendum anyway, not to mention we could borrow some tourists to get the 50% needed voting presence. And I was making fun of the Californians, poor me.

Hi Inahurry,

In your profile no location is mentioned, but this doesn't matter.
I dare to guess that you live in California.
By extension, you live in the United States.
If so, I think you are already aware about how difficult is for a foreigner to build a successful career here.
Schwartzy did it, and that is one reason to be on his side. He is to be preferred compared to the other 2 main counter-candidates.
(Oh, yes, I have to accept that I liked a lot of his movies even from the days I lived in Romania. But not all of them.)

Florin,

No, I live in Bucuresti. I will add that to my profile.

I like Schwartzy too. I know only about the former governor not sure who the 3rd candidate was. I have no idea what can Arnold do as a politician. But I will post 2 links to 2 very different views about him.

Going to find the links.

Here they are :

I liked the first , maybe because I like the way the commentator writes in general.

[Victor]

I voted no, because I would prefer to have a more balanced moderator. Geto-Dacul is in my opinion is leaning too much in one direction. Anyway, the forum does not enjoy so much traffic in order to have 3 moderators.

[inahurry]

Victor,

Then alternate Getu, if he's voted with Denes (when he becomes a General and if he is voted too). Also, I doubt Getu will contest yours or Dragos' generalissimos privilleged position, but I understand you made a promise, am I wrong?

[Victor]

It was Dragos who made the promise. I actually have no idea on how to make a moderator, so it's up to him. I know I can create special ranks (see C-2), but how to actually give some priveleges to that rank is unknown to me.

I'm not too surprised of your choice, but I appreciate your sincerity. As a moderator, I cannot overthrow any of you guys, in the administration... We all lean more or less in a direction or another. Even you, Victor, even Inahurry... We all definitely lean in a direction.

So I didn't really get it...

Yours,

Getu'

Actually it was not a promise. It was an idea that once a member reaches rank of general, he could go for moderator.

I don't know how about Victor, but I don't have the time to visit the forum daily. And for begining every moderator will only have assigned one forum to moderate, based on his option / interest.

I hope it's not the case. I believe Getu understood how I and Victor view this discussion board.

Geto, I believe Victor will have the final say, and I think he consideres you a bit..."too far to the right to be moderator on this forum"
Your posts are interesting and informative however..

How about somone votes me to be moderator! I now have 100 posts...and I made the largest and longest post in the Romanian Army section, take a look..

No, forget it- I'm not here everyday and I don't have time to police everyone, - I will have to vote for someone else...
:roll:

[Victor]

I do not have the final word and will probably have to submit to the majority, but I there have to be IMO at least 30 votes or something. So far there are only 11. I guess a moderating position in the Collector's Corner would be inoffensive and collecting WWII militaria is one of his passions.

[Geto-Dacul]

There's also a surprising problem with the participation on this forum... 21% of the members don't even have a message of posted. And there are others with less than 10 posts... On, let's say 94 more or less active members on the forum, only 11 voted, that's pretty nasty.
