I guess my other question would be, who from the East is a suitable mod candidate. Pointing out a perceived problem is fine, but, is there a solution to it? Personally, I'd happily see T made a full fledged mod. What with him being one of the more level headed, and least, how to say, personal, of the folks on the forum.... even if I don't agree with the NEED for it.

Other than him though, the rest of the members strike me as too volatile (like Prax... that guy's crazy).

Sorry karrie I must disagree because the question has never come up before. I doubt that your mentality and mine are identical, if they were that would be totally boring. I doubt that the moderators can see things from the point of view of some-one
who is at the scene of `whatever` and can comment or decide what is in the mind of the writer and I would bet you a buck and a half that they have no idea as to how Eastern Ontarioans or Quebecers think or perceive something.
Yet the membership is getting larger all the time and as I have read so many times `they cannot be every where at the same time`.
Ergo members get away with a lot. I noticed the other day that a member wrote that `moderation` was lacking and a lot of things went by without being viewed.
I respect the mods because it is a thankless job but allowing some thing that is counter to the rules go by is not acceptable.
An Eastern Canada/Atlantic moderator is needed.

Sometimes I cannot sleep and just read all the posts and threads and I find a lot of problems with them. But hey I am an insignificant member so it really doesn't matter.

I think I see a point in what you are saying, although perhaps not the same point you're trying to make.

There have been a couple of threads, two of which I created recently, that blew out into personal insults and attacks on each other..... it would seem they were missed or the moderating of rules is slacking a slight bit to let things go on a bit longer.... I can't do anything about it because I only have control over one section.... a dead section I might add :p

But a point I can see about having full moderators from various parts of the country is Time Zone related. I can't say there is a need due to varrying culture or language, but if the majority of the mods are out west, then that means they are all in a similar time zone as one another, and while they sleep, a few hours earlier us here in the Maritimes are wide awake and causing all kinds of sh*t and the mods out west may not be awake to do anything about it until hours later..... and by that time, the entire situation could crumble into a pile of pixi poop.

Then again, if there is a problem, that's what the report button and PM's to mods is for.

Always laid back. Nothing phases you. Okay in your shoes. That's admirable.

lol. the problem is that I'm in the city. A maneuver like that scares everyone around you. Mind you, they back off and give 'the drunk' some room when you start acting like that. lol.
