May I be so bold as to suggest...
« on: October 25, 2017, 18:55:45 PM »
That CBF may benefit from some new moderators  :D

To perhaps include a couple of people that actually live in the Fethiye area.

I appreciate that Scunner wants to know the moderators reasonably well as it's his forum after all but not one of the current moderators live here and only three that I'm aware of post on anything like a regular basis.

I'm sure there are some regular contributors that have time on their hands that wouldn't mind giving it a go to see how it works out; KKOB and Colwyn   ;)

Truth be told Nichola, location has much less to do with being a good moderator than enthusiasm.  I get your point though.

Apart from the lovely Nichola,  can I suggest Liz101 as I think she would make a great mod, has good old Yorkshire common sense, does not suffer fools gladly  and has lots of local knowledge (only if she is amenable to this of course) .  Must agree with Nichola that  it seems strange having mods with no local connection.

To be honest it doesn't take a lot of moderation - no objections to new blood, just no need really.

It's also amazing how many people believe a moderator/administrator shouldn't be expressing their own views, and that an argumentative one reflects badly on the forum they moderate for. I think this is poppycock  :)

I agree with Nichola, Surely a moderator who has moved away from Turkey is less enthusiastic about this site than someone who still lives here. Also someone living here will still wish to keep it alive.

That was my thinking too Diverbaz - it's just not about the moderation itself.

I would have thought that the feeling of responsibility and enthusiasm would be a good motivator to help as you say, keep the site alive   :)
