Me neither. It's Don's own personal brand of madness.
I am going to make an effort to be around a bit more this year. I do pop in once or twice a day to look things over, and do not see an urgent need for a new mod. But couldn't hurt, either.
Most of the names I've seen kicked about seem reasonable. I mean, for anyone who has been on the boards for a while, everybody pretty much knows (at some level) whether or not someone would make a decent moderator.
FWIW, I think girls make better mods, but that is just an opinion and maybe that's just me.
I guess the sad part of this is that you need moderators because people cannot treat each other with a modicum of decency and respect. Even if you disagree with someone, there’s a way to say that without resorting to personal attacks and mudslinging. Even when critiquing someone’s work on here, you can talk about why you find shortcomings with the writing by saying what they can do to improve it, as opposed to calling it crap.
For the most part, people treat each other well here, but let’s commit ourselves to not using these forums to tear each other down, but to lift each other up with the goal of all becoming better writers through thoughtful and intelligent reviews. Not because the site’s rules require it, but because it’s the right thing to do as decent human beings. Lord knows we need that kind of thing nowadays.

Some of my scripts:
Bounty (TV Pilot) -- Top 1% of discoverable screenplays on Coverfly I'll Be Seeing You (short) - OWC winner The Gambler (short) - OWC winner Skip (short) - filmed Country Road 12 (short) - filmed The Family Man (short) - filmed The Journeyers (feature) - optioned
Not sure where the suggestion came from either, so thanks for the almost vote of confidence Dustin, but you called me a *snidey cnut* in a public forum and i do tend to get emotional when people do that... So I'm probably not right candidate.
If it is a genuine discussion then Libby would have my vote.
The problem is if Libby is in the running then Stevie will want in cuz the Aussies love competition.
Then Libby will go on to win the popular vote but Stevie will get in due colluding with the Russians. being their team Mascot for the 1996 figure skating Winter Olympics helped. Stevie will go on appoint Jeff as his VP, shutting down SS until they get enough money to build a wall to keep the Newbies out... There will be a full line of grammar nazi's protecting the wall checking sentence structures, commas,,,,,,,,,, and particularly orphans. That's when newbies get separated from their last word in their sentence and so they get placed on another line by themselves.
Lol. I missed you Mark (Irish Eyes). Have another funny script coming out?

It's all true. Believe me.
Amazing. You chiming in on an OWC thread that didn’t require me to notify you first. Miracles never do cease.
Wouldn't mind another mod. Wouldn't mind if we didn't have one.
I almost never have issues with a specific comment other than those that end with an orphan.
What I do think is counter productive is when script threads get hijacked by a spat. I actually enjoy the spats themselves (sorry - just my sick mind) as they can provide humor - like a family fight at Christmas dinner. However, it would be nice if the spats could me moved to a different thread (SPATS THREAD) if the spatters want to continue.Let everyone get if out of their system. I'd certainly be a reader/commenter.

This. We need this NOW! Can you imagine the entertainment such a thread would produce? I'd cancel my Netflix subscription.
