Moderators needed

[Ahtims]

Dear members,

I am in my 6th year of moderatorship. I feel that I am overstaying my term. This group is stagnating and needs fresh hands at the helm. So anybody who's interested and who's confident enough that they'd be able to spare at least half an hour daily for setting the threads right and occasionally settling disputes please come forth and give your names.
As soon as you get the hang of it, Psmith shall step down with a sigh (of relief tinged with a wee bit of regret)

[Ahtims]

P.S- active members are preferred.

Hey smitha , what happened to other moderators.

[Ahtims]

They are too busy on personal and professional front.

Ah ok... But won't you feel sad after giving it up...6 years my God ! Its so long... This group must mean a lot to you :(

[Ahtims]

Yes, of course. But then I feel that we are not doing justice to the group. For the past few months the group has been staggering along. I have been mentally toying with the idea of quitting for quite a few weeks now. Decided to take a plunge before my resolve wavers. :-)

But you can add mod yet stay even if not acting ... Be as a guardian.. A head...

[Sherin]

No takers,Smith? :)

Hi Smitha,
Well I think you're doing a fine job, but if you really want a helping hand I'll be glad to step in :)

[Ahtims]

Sherin, you got your answer :D :D
Shoa, thank you.
I will add you. Try your hand at it. Good luck. Shall PM a few guidelines.

[Purvika]

Congratulations Shoa...

I will be happy to help you anyway I can... XD

[Shoa, @TheCupboardUnderTheStairs]

thank you Purvika :)

[Ahtims]

Then Purvika, we have an eye on you I'd more are needed. :P

[Ahtims]

Read I'd as if
(cellphone in a bizarre mood, and no edit option in the app)

Hahaha.... Its intimidating to mod such a large group... But being an assistant to a mod is equally calming as all the responsibility lies on mod and assistant lend a helping hand... :P

[Parikhit]

PSmith I cannot imagine GR and IR without you! You must be there, even if that means being the guardian angel of the group :)

[Ahtims]

Thanks, Parikhit. But I may step down if I feel that I am not at all doing justice to my job. I have kept myself on probation for the time being. :P

Exactly!

[Saahil]

I am relatively new to this group but could give moderation a shot. Half an hour daily doing something I would enjoy does'nt sound like too much to me .
You might get some freshness of thought. :)
Let me know if you consider or if you have any criteria w.r.t which you want my answer

[Ahtims]

thank you, Saahil. I will keep it in mind. For now, we got a new mod on a first come basis.
