| Nov 10, 2012 at 21:48 | comment | added | jmort253 | @Duncan - Balance is definitely a good thing, but not a requirement. The main goal is to get people who are patient and fair, and who are willing to help guide the community to work through the issues of defining the site. It doesn't matter what community or country they're from. | |
| Nov 9, 2012 at 3:47 | comment | added | Duncan | is it appropriate to try to get moderators from the different communities of genealogy? One flavor of community is what country. Another is what culture (eg US doesn't necessarily mean expert in African American). Another is amateur vs professional genealogist. I'm sure there are more. I don't know what the current mix is but I would think we'd want diversity. Of course we need to get membership diversity in these communities first so my comment might be longer term. | |
| Nov 1, 2012 at 2:52 | comment | added | jmort253 | @Luke - Don't worry about whether it's normal or not. Some people just don't have the time. I personally spend way too much time on Stack Exchange as it is, and being a moderator on another site would make it that much harder to balance my time in other activities... ;) Plus, once the site graduates, the people here could run in the elections, assuming their workload allows it at a later date! | |

| Oct 29, 2012 at 12:27 | comment | added | Luke_0 | How about Gene Golovchinsky for mod? I don't have time to write up a nomination now, but if someone else wants to, I'll vote for him. | |
| Oct 28, 2012 at 10:11 | comment | added | user104 | @Luke, I'm not surprised, given that some of us are still settling down and exploring our comfort levels wrt to the "tone" of the site. Moderating at such an early stage is likely to be more work than it will be later. (Does Forming-Storming-Norming-Performing ring any bells? See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuckman%27s_stages_of_group_development) Also, some of our most active users have major commitments elsewhere. I'm not nominating myself for exactly that reason. | |
| Oct 28, 2012 at 2:02 | comment | added | Luke_0 | Is it normal to have so many declinations? | |
| Oct 27, 2012 at 9:25 | comment | added | jmort253 | If you can think of anyone else @ColeValleyGirl, consider adding them. ;) Check out the List of Users, as some people list where they're located. Good luck! :) | |
| Oct 27, 2012 at 9:20 | comment | added | user104 | @jmort253 Noted, although Fortiter hadn't been nominated when I commented. | |
| Oct 27, 2012 at 6:23 | comment | added | jmort253 | @ColeValleyGirl - Fortiter is in Australia. There are a few others in that region as well. | |

| Oct 27, 2012 at 0:39 | comment | added | Luke_0 | It looks like one of the inter-site mods (such as Robert Cartaino) converted it to a comment, as you know. The reasoning was probably that someone flagged it as "not an answer" because I had previously changed the question to a nomination area. It is a good point though. If something goes wrong, and all the mods are asleep, it won't get any action for up to ten hours. I completely agree. I've upvoted it to make it more obvious. However, if you want to make sure more people read it, consider creating another meta post. | |
| Oct 26, 2012 at 18:03 | comment | added | user104 | My answer has been converted to a comment, and I have been referred to the faq as explanation, but the faq don't explain why! What do I do now, as I believe my point is important, just not to a single nomination? Hoping Luke with his moderation experience can help. | |
| Oct 26, 2012 at 15:22 | comment | added | user104 | Not expressing an opinion on any of the nominees so far (they all look to have some plus points to me) but I do note they're all in the same(ish) time-zone and continent (US/Canada). To my mind it would be good to have (at least one of) (say) a European and an Australian, if we can find them without compromising the qualities needed for a moderator. | |

| Oct 26, 2012 at 1:29 | comment | added | Luke_0 | That's why I said at least one more. | |
| Oct 26, 2012 at 1:28 | comment | added | jmort253 | There can be more nominations than 3 though, even though there are only 3 slots. The names submitted here will help guide the community management team in selecting the 3 people who can fill this role. | |
| Oct 24, 2012 at 21:43 | comment | added | Luke_0 | We need at least one more nomination (normally there are three pro-temp mods). | |

| Oct 23, 2012 at 11:21 | comment | added | Luke_0 | We might as well. | |
| Oct 23, 2012 at 9:32 | comment | added | Jeni | Should Luke's question be edited so that it follows jmort253's suggestion and acts as the voting quest for Moderators? | |
| Oct 23, 2012 at 2:14 | comment | added | jmort253 | Anyone wishing to nominate someone, or self-nominate, should follow the template below. | |

| Oct 23, 2012 at 2:05 | comment | added | jmort253 | Now is as good of time as any to start nominating people. Just make it clear in the question body that it's one nomination per answer so people can vote on them. Remember, downvotes work different on meta. It just means you disagree with the nomination and doesn't affect reputation at all. | |
