my username (okay, so my real name, I have no creativity) is like, TOTALLY TAKEN!!! likeomigod. gah now I'm forced to actually think of something... --Previous Message-- : Hi Everyone, : : I'm Ju Ping (not the real one - I'm not a : Chinese gymnastics coach ) and I'm also : sometimes known as Wolfie or ABUSIVEBELU. : : Rightly or wrongly, I think it's worth : exploring the possibility of a different : message board for the discussion of : Australian gymnastics - one that requires : membership. : : I realise that membership won't eliminate : trolls, but I hope it will at least reduce : the number of trolls that lurk under our : bridge. : : However, I definitely don't want to step on : anyone's toes. For this reason, I would like : to take the opportunity to thank Robin for : the excellent and thankless job she has done : with the current 'Aussie gym'n'more board' : and to encourage her to become a moderator : or administrator on the new trial board. If : Robin wishes to be a moderator at this : board, she will be definitely be given this : right - no questions asked. She has earnt : it. : : On the topic of moderators, I need : volunteers for this role. I'm hoping to have : a minimum of 5 moderators - perhaps more. So : if you would like to be a moderator, please : e-mail me at janeymay19@hotmail.com : : The required characteristics of moderators : are as follows: : - Must be calm and sensible (well, as much : as possible) : - Must be enthusiastic and passionate : - Must be totally non-judgemental about : religion, politics, race and sexual : persuasion : - Must be a supporter of free speech** : - **Must abhor nasty, vindictive and : personal attacks. : : It is the last two criteria that will be the : most difficult to reconcile, so moderators : will need to use their discretion. : : Anyway, please send me an e-mail, introduce : yourself and let me know who you are on : current gym boards. I might make a poll : and get people to vote for moderators, but : all advice will be gratefully received on : this topic. I do hope that some of the : regular posters on this current board : volunteer to be moderators. : : Oh, and if you'd like to nominate a : moderator, please let me know. : : This board is a trial only. If people don't : like it and/or don't use it, I can easily : delete the board. I will not be in the least : bit offended if it doesn't fly. So please be : honest with me. : : :
