Veritas Thanks But No
Omollo:
As everybody around knows, I am a very abrasive fella. Being a moderator will tame me. I want to be free to tackle any topic. Why even attacking moderators is good sport.
So please, I had not noticed it could you pass over my name and hand it to some other guy. As long as it is NOT Njamlik. I think you should avoid controversial figures like Omollo, Pundit, Njamlik etc.
In fact you don't need moderators.
Kababe:
Agreed! No moderators. It will turn this place too political in an unpleasant way. Self-moderation is the key. With a report button for when people post porn or other stuff that may get the site banned.

Omollo, I've known you for many years. Read your stuff for many years. I trust your judgement and know you respect other opinions without resorting to deleting or changing their posts.
We need influential moderators, experienced bloggers to steer debate etc. they should be bloggers who are respected and be able to mentor other members in the area they are passionate about.
This forum is not a dictatorship. I want the best of the Kenyan Diaspora minds to feel respected and free to engage in healthy discourse. A permanent cyber home for all of us.
It would be an absolute honour if you can moderate this section. Please have a think about it.
Kim Jong-Un's Pajama Pants:
veritas,
I'd go with self-moderated forums for the forums that mirror the old nipate. And then you can create new forums on request, that can be moderated. So you can have business, technology, religion kind of forums that can be moderated.

Kababe, I guess the problem with RCB - random moderators were voted in. The problem with Nipate.com is there's one moderator - Admin, and subsequently the site is riddled with problems and any time now or in the future it'll get shut down. I don't want this forum to be like that.
I guess to reassure everyone, the moderators can only delete whole posts (be it spam, porn etc) and not edit posts. Having experienced moderators means unlikely they'll get offended over posts enough to warrant a delete. The moderators running each section, I have known for years. They have upheld self-moderation policies on Nipate.com and I know I can trust them.
