I would also be untrusting of those who really wanted to be a mod.
I understand that sounds hypocritical after my going for the 4th mod in Jan 2003 (God, so long ago!). I did really want to win, but it didn't crush me that I didn't. Far from it.
I don't mean to flatter myself or the other MP247 mods unduly, but I think we've got the balance just about right. This place and TVF thrives on arguments and conflict, and there have been probably more threads locked in the last 2 weeks on TVF than there have been on MP247 in its history.
My experience of moderating, for all interested in putting themselves up in a TVF poll, have been somewhat underwhelming and lacking in locking action. That said, as part of the mystical clique, I am hardly likely to shut down many posts because they might be 'on the edge.'
It's just like being a normal member, except I can see an extra 2 forums when I log in.
Despite my deep love for Nick Harvey (with associated sexual thrill), I would have to go with James, despite my sig. He would add edginess to the place, and that's what TVF is missing right now. I feel that Nick would ban people far too quickly, when the truth is that the fun of the place is derived from the morons. As much as we disliked Pannell, how many of us can say we weren't entertained by his crass idiocy?
Failing James, Gavin. Although I actually feel he wouldn't want the responsibility. Gavin, the floor is yours, fella.
