By the way, would it be better if the person is willing to be a mod in the 1st place?

I used to be a mod before (not in PEx), and it wasn't easy to be one.

[LOLOLOLOL]

sux2bü

well because he's active here. my only qualm is that if he becomes trigger happy with those who bash ust.

[hunter_alchemst]

Hmm seriously, I'd like to nominate myself.

Why? I'm very active in The Academe--I check it everyday (though I rarely post something and just lurk most of the time). I think I'm impartial enough to screen posts here in the academe. I'm also very interested in any topic that is academic, most especially if it's related to academic research. So there, try lang.

[Nakura]

Please post your sincere suggestions.

And as much as possible, please try to suggest someone else other than yourself.

[Naked_Salvation]

I nominate hunter_alchemst.

His posts are really sensisble and I can sense na academe ang passion niya. I believe na he'll be impartial pagdating sa pagjudge sa mga posts dito.

[Dacs]

Got carried away with the jest earlier

While I can mention names which I had the (some times dis)pleasure of having conversation here, I'll give my unsolicited suggestion instead:

Try to check the history of the posts instead and pool the names that you'd think will fit the profile of being one and list the names here (of course after asking them if they're willing to be one).

Then they'll be under the scrutiny of the people who posts here a lot.

I think that goes for a better selection process.

gusto ko sana i-nominate si nikkilove ng FEU, isa siya sa mga matinong Pexer.

kaya lang sa mga recent threads about FEU, nakikipagsabayan na siya sa mga trolls at nagpapasaring na sa school mismo.


Sana kung Pexer lang ang kaaway, wag idamay yung school. Walang nagpapatalo sa both sides eh.

Well, sana yung mod ng academe ay may malawak ang pang unawa sa mga trolls. i ban lahat ng trolls.

pansin niyo, pag may thread na hot topic, laging may bagongPexer na makikita na todo post at nangaaway pa.

There should be a new policy wherein all new Pex accounts should not be allowed to create a thread for a month.

[Just_Saying]

as a moderator, i believe na kailangan maging impartial siya sa magiging judgement nya sa mga posts and kailangan open minded siya sa topic na pinaguusapan.

with all due respect to twine_bean but i strongly disagree with your nomination. just look at this thread:

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/...=569113&page=3

clear from the start na ang pinopoint out ng mga posters ay yung pagiging misleading ng thread title. not that the prestigious schools are in question but the way how the thread was named.

but instead of attacking the issue, yung character ng mga posters ang inattack ni nikkilove together with his cohorts (recca_summa, semerad and travelmate76). all for the love of their school. when in fact, nobody is questioning the inclusion of FEU in the list! they feel offended immediately kahit hindi naman yung school ang inquestion sa thread. talk about blind loyalty. so paano na kung magkaroon ng issue na worth pagusapan and involve ang FEU, e di wala na. hindi na mapaguusapan yung issue na yun freely dahil on defense na agad ang moderator ng forum?

is this the kind of moderator na gusto nyong makita dito sa academe?

so there.

just saying!

[hunter_alchemst]

Thank you Naked_Salvation for your nomination.

I'm open to public scrutiny if this will help lobby my nomination. Parang pulitika lang eh noh? Haha.

FYI, I'm most active in the Scopus-cited researches thread.

[isQuash]

kahit sino dito sa 3:

sux2bu
vicmesar
cretinous

reasons: bukod sa active sila sa the academe, kapag nagpost sila ay marami ka talagang matutunan at magagaling at smarte ang mga insight nila sa mga bagay-bagay. kailangan din natin kasi ng isang moderator na may alam at hindi lang copy paste ng kung anu-ano. at sigurado akong magiging fair naman ang mga 'yan sa pagmomoderate.

[vicmesar]

thanks sQuash but i must decline the nomination - though felt honored.

There are times I am very busy like straight one week walang tulugan.

Yung mga post ko usually singit lang while drafting petitions and doing research - pag bored na ba?

OT: si sux2bu, hunter alchemist, at cretinous - ang nominees ko

[BatotoyBibo]

I nominate the following:

gs09. This guy is so young yet so mature and impartial.

hunter_alchemist. Truth-seeker, also so young and impartial.

Gusto ko rin sana inominate si sux2bu kasi mahusay siya kaya lang he's not quite fair haha (sorry sux).

Or kung ayaw niyo sa kanila, ako na lang.

[quwertii]

pede rin ba ako? joke lang

isama din siguro sa category yung madalas magOnline lalo na sa oras na kung saan umaatake ang mga trolls dito sa academe.

[galing up]

i nominate dacs!! matiyaga sya magsagot dun sa chem engg thread and feeling ko din naman magiging impartial sya kung kinakailangan.

[hunter_alchemst]

Salamat kina Vicmesar at BatotoyBibo!

Ako naman, aside from myself I'd nominate gs09. I agree that he's impartial. He's very witty, too.

[Dacs]

i nominate dacs!! matiyaga sya magsagot dun sa chem engg thread and feeling ko din naman magiging impartial sya kung kinakailangan.

Salamat sa endorsement, and while I don't mind being one, I guess it's better if we let the young bloods fill in the role.

I'm not as active here as compared 5-6 years ago and I had my share of rubbing elbows with people at the opposite end of my opinion. I wasn't that impartial then.

I'm not saying I'm impartial now but I grew up the wiser and I usually offer my 2 cents on topics I know best.

[mykel14]

I nominate hunter_alchemst and ubermensch. I rarely see them engage in trollful activities here in The Academe.

[BatotoyBibo]

I nominate the following:

gs09. This guy is so young yet so mature and impartial.

hunter_alchemist. Truth-seeker, also so young and impartial.

Gusto ko rin sana inominate si sux2bu kasi mahusay siya kaya lang he's not quite fair haha (sorry sux).

Or kung ayaw niyo sa kanila, ako na lang.

Update ko lang list of nominees ko:

gs09
hunter_alchemst
Dacs

Update ko na lang uli pag may naisip pa ako.

Members are the key factor in making Academe decent. At its current state, it’s chockfull of childish comments and useless repetitious posts. To raise its quality, it must first clean up its membership and then get a proficient moderator to keep the forum clean and discussion relevant.

Aside from the qualities mentioned by the TS, a good moderator must have broad range of knowledge and high cultural literacy. He must be able to stand arguments without becoming heated and defuse heated arguments before it gets out of control. Lastly, he must understand his position, not take advantage of it and abuse its power. That’s a tall order for a moderator and there’s no PExer that I know of that possesses all those qualities. Be that as it may, I nominate hunter_alchemist and cretinous00.
