That's ok Pandora, I just think that perhaps the Tavern needs a little bit of cleaning up.
I have also seen some other threads here in the Tavern which could do with moving, perhaps to Other Side or Library or VW, I just have gotta get a link for them.
But again, I am happy to help

I would recommend LG for a qp for her work with the HC Prom. Is it the stuff of legends? Not at all. But it's a terrific niche piece and certainly is right up there with the nonsense known as Cat's Ann Summer's party. It has inspired no small amount of creativity and funny role-play.
If MightyMage wasn't a mod I'd recommend his punk a** for a qp for using Hero machine to create his prom stud. Funny stuff man.

I'll second LG's nomination for the same reasons as Gootch listed. Also I think MM should get one for his Saltys Employee Handbook that I'm still laughing at.

I have not been along time member of HC so I will try to speak briefly on this topic, and Aculias you better keep your mouth shut about my lengthy post. I have noticed that there are the same MODS on here that spend a lot of time on a daily basis going through and reading all of these threads. Here is my idea:
I think that we should rotate out MODS. Not fire them or make them inactive permanently, however give everyone an option that really participates on the board to shed a new light. Everyone has different personalities and has a different perspective on these threads and what they mean or don’t mean. We have members that I’m sure would love to be MODS for even just a couple of weeks and then rotate them out for the next fresh group. If we don’t do something like this we get stagnant on the board and can almost pin point when someone will get QP’s.
So you are thinking, what about if someone gets on here and just starts going nuts and taking point or giving them to everyone and their dog. Well we still have our main MODS and the V man to make sure that things don’t go into that direction. I for one think that there are people on here such as Peacemaker, The_Gootch, and Consis that are all great writers and can really add to the board as a mod. Even some of our new members and the quiet one’s that just sit back and observe. They all have something to offer. People are very busy, so the opportunity to just do it for a few weeks or so would be refreshing I’m sure.
Being a MOD can be time consuming, so if we rotate it gives the old MODS a chance to relax and get refocused and new ones to show us what their thoughts are. I feel it would be exciting to see which people will be the new moderators for the week and it would freshen things up a bit. People have been complaining lately about the board just being stale and we need something new to add. So this was my idea go ahead and rip apart….

Hmmm... 
I don't need to write an essay to get to my point, so here it is really clear  WTF has the ability to write good sentences in the english language has to do with being a mod?
Aren't there any poetry/writing forums?
What about not native english speakers who cannot express all of their thoughts cause of small vocabulary but could be perfect for the job?

Post copied from a vw thread when I realised you were serious here...
re VF's proposal:
OK the amount of angst generated here over moderator actions - namely qps is already crazy.
There needs to be consistency which this proposal would clearly make near impossible.
There would be a tendency for 'payback', or for this week's mods to 'make amends' for the 'wrong jusgements' of the mods before them.
You are saying that the admin or others will have to moderate the mods!
There needs to be continuity - 2 weeks is not enough time to really complete any kind of task, so the next mod would be fixing and finishing the unfinished jobs of others which could lead to ill feelings.
There would be so much whining and scrutinisation of what the 'mods' were doing.
It would be giving access to areas Val likes to keep private - to a huge amount of people.
It would see a flood of qps that would devalue them even more.
People with contrasting views would be doing something only to have it changed the next week by someone else - or it would lead to committees, petitions, polls, and a beurocratic nightmare before anyone would be game to make any kind of decision.
Man there are so many things that make this idea unworkable that I cannot even begin to articlulate them all.
There is just no need for this whatsoever - I cannot see one advantage of this proposal. At all.
If you want any kind of rotation - then I would suggest a 'shift' meaning having mods on different time zones that are more likely to be here when the other isn't but I really see little value in this either.
There is nothing stopping community members contributing to the boards more without a modship.

I’m sorry you seem a bit angry about the fact that I said that. What I meant was I respect them as writers and their intelligence level. I think that there are a lot of people on here with great views and we all have different outlooks on subjects that are presented on here. I would like to see the majority of people to have a chance to present themselves on here.
No you do not have to write an essay on here to be a great mod. That is not what I was trying to say. You do however have to have a certain intelligence level and the ability to be objective and as far as I’m concerned creative. Thank you for your glittery, happy, and uplifting comment I'm sure it is appreciated by all.

Do I sound sarcastic all the damn time?

Then maybe this needs to be addressed on several levels.
Quote:

Consistency can equally bore people as well as make the current MOD situation seem stagnant in responses.
Quote:
There would be a tendency for 'payback', or for this week's mods to 'make amends' for the 'wrong jusgements' of the mods before them.
This is not only juvenile but can also happen with current MODS just as
easily. If this is the case than why vote new MODS in at all. Do you think that there is no bad blood between the people that would be up for new moderator? Unless you have someone from the outside come in and moderate the threads whom can be completely objective, because they have no personal contact with anyone, then there is no way to avoid this.
Quote:
You are saying that the admin or others will have to moderate the mods!
Excuse my ignorance when it comes to HC. I have only been on here for a short time. I thought that the Administrators did somewhat control that aspect of HC. If a current MOD was to get out of control and abuse their seat then is it not the administrator’s duty to rectify the situation?
Quote:
There needs to be continuity - 2 weeks is not enough time to really complete any kind of task, so the next mod would be fixing and finishing the unfinished jobs of others which could lead to ill feelings.
Without putting too much thought into time frames this is just what came to me. It can be any time frame that the administrator sees fit. I was not too concerned with great detail, as this has not even been executed thus far.
Quote:
There would be so much whining and scrutinisation of what the 'mods' were doing.
If you refer back to specific threads in HC you will see that this is par for the course. People are already whining and snowing on here all the time.
Quote:
It would be giving access to areas Val likes to keep private - to a huge amount of people.
Again, as I stated before, I feel that the computer literate people could control this type of access to a certain degree before it happens. I’m not saying that it would not take a considerable amount of thought to execute this idea properly, however it could be done.
Quote:
It would see a flood of qps that would devalue them even more.
Again this would have to be controlled.
Quote:
People with contrasting views would be doing something only to have it changed the next week by someone else - or it would lead to committees, petitions, polls, and a beurocratic nightmare before anyone would be game to make any kind of decision.
So you extend the first proposal of a two-week MOD to a longer duration. To my knowledge we have petitions, polls, and certainly a beuro cratic nightmare on here anyway. Here is the consistency you were wanting.
Quote:
Man there are so many things that make this idea unworkable that I cannot even begin to articlulate them all.
With time and the right people to help set put this forward I think that it could work and would really bring a freshness to the board. Do you not think that ideas that are well written and successful take time to put into play? This would not be an overnight decision by any means.
Quote:
There is just no need for this whatsoever - I cannot see one advantage of this proposal. At all.
We have threads on here that state people are bored, they want knew games to play they want innovative ideas to spice things up a bit. This is what the need is and the people on here have stated so. Maybe it is something that you personal don’t like or you find it to confusing and can’t see beyond the problems with it to see the advantages of it. I understand that everyone has his or her own opinion.
Quote:

There is nothing stopping them from contributing more as a member, however there is something to be said for having a person in place that has contributed and has a different outlook then the current mods. It is all about perception and what one person may read as a BS thread another may read as life changing. It is just a way to let everyone have an equal place at one time or another on HC. Thank you for your comment and I must state that this has nothing to do with the lack of a great job that the current MODS are doing it is just an idea.

I wonder if there is any bigger company in an industrialized country which has such kind of "rotation system" in their headquarter. I can't name any, and that's no real surprise for me. Human nature is just not made for such things..
