August 15 Poll Regarding the Nature of Moderation

[bibliothecary]

You can choose up to two answers.

I really feel like we only need one but I want them to be able to go on vacation without dealing with this shit. 1 board moderator and 1 global floater, or 2 so it's not too overwhelming.

[mosdub]

Is it naive to think that given these boards are more "exclusive" and you likely wouldn't come across it unless you stumbled through TB during it's demise that we won't have as many issues requiring mods here?

I agree. But I still think it'd be safe to have a couple mods.

[jordanelizabeth]

I like abvintage 's idea- one main person but another as kind of "back up." Hoping we won't have to worry too much on this board though...

[elizabeth11]

My first reaction is I'm not sure if a mod is needed here.

However, having one won't hurt I guess.

This is kind of where I am as well, I think it would depend on how easily we can get in touch with the global mods. I haven't even checked, but if there are a fair number of globals, then I don't see them having a problem policing. Unless we get super popular and, like, BC or the new TB decides to try to find the link and come troll. I think 2 mods for each board is too much on this site, there's just not the amount of random traffic. I think one board mod plus global mods that can be contacted easily is plenty.

[lindy]

I voted 2 but that's only because we have 2 on a similar board I post on. I think it's nice the mod doesn't have to think about it while on vacation or if they go out for the day and don't check in.

Even though the board is also "exclusive" it has had a few trolls that came from TB and also amongst the board posters.

[kmartturtle]

It wouldn't be hard to find us (from TB) The link was posted everywhere, I'm sure some people noted it but haven't joined yet... So just because there's not trouble now, doesn't mean there never will be.

Sad face, you can't see a poll on the tapatalk app.

Sad face, it says I can't vote. Too late to party.

An heir and a spare! .....or you know, one main person and a backup.

I got the same thing

For the record, my vote would have been for one mod. Even on TB there was only one mod on our board, I think with a global back-up one should be enough.

[fogleer]

Two mods seems excessive for this board. One should do it for all but Parenting and TTGP sized boards.

[malelz]

I think one should be sufficient. If we have problems or grow in the future we can revisit the idea.

[jennylynn6785]

Another vote for one mod with a backup or easily accessible global mod.

[sunshinelady15]

I agree that 2 should suffice. I am sure the trolls will come..

[Deleted]

Yay, now that I am on a computer, I get to participate! I agree with a lot of the PP's above, one mod with a back up/global mod. 2 would be good if we start to see trolls crossing to the dark side though.
