New Moderator Selection

[esquared]

This is the official moderator nomination thread for Hot Deals.

We will compile a list of nominees through Monday night. Voting on nominees will take place in this thread Tuesday through Thursday. The candidate with the most votes will have the opportunity to become a moderator for this and one other secondary non-social forum of their choosing.

Either before or after the vote, a candidate can withdraw his or her name from consideration. In the event that the candidate with the most votes withdraws his or her name, the candidate with the next most votes will be extended the opportunity, and so on.

AnandTech resevers the right to veto nominations at our discretion. We will do our best to allow you to pick the candidates you feel best suit the needs of your forum, but we won't allow members who can't follow guidelines to be put in a position to enforce them on others.

We will keep a list of nominees in this thread. If a nominee has been vetoed or has withdrawn their name from consideration, a note will be made next to their name. This will be done to prevent multiple posts nominating the same member. If the member you want to moderate this forum is already on the list, please don't post.

Please only post the name of the nominee in your replies. Please make sure it is spelled correctly before posting.

NOMINEES:


Houe
Rossman
Zepper
ActiveX
AmberClad
Jokersmoker

Can we get an explanation on why Mosh was vetoed? Alot of members here thought she would make a fine mod.

mosh is an excellent contributer to both HD and L&R. we absolutely value her her at AnandTech, as do many of you.

we are being cautious with this first round of member elected moderators. the bottom line is that not many members who have ever been vacationed were allowed to run. our records show that mosh has been vacationed on multiple occasions.

I was hoping to see Zap on the list. I know a few people nominated him but I guess he didn't make the cut?

yah, really. AmberClad always has useful info, so that's my next vote.

RossMAN is the homecoming king around here, eh?

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Before I cast my vote, I must know if RossMAN intends to bring back the RossMAN Meal Deal at Quizno's.

If Rossman had a vote for every dollar he has saved people, he could win the presidential election.
