I don't think we should vote about this,  the decision should be made by the admins.

I hope that this doesn't turn into a popularity contest because everyone contributes in their own way, but I guess if it's an innocent vote it's fun.

Just so... I think our forum is more then just any on line forum its a movement. Positions here on the forum are a responsibility.

Is that a global mod position or mod of a specific section?

Why am I not considered? I am already a moderator?

PS: I think it is a great idea to promote AH as a moderator...

But some moderators should be made global mods too...

What qualifies you to be a Global Mod?

Shalom brother,

I have waited for hours for volunteers, but there were only two. Steven and Americanhero. And I thought you like to be moderator.

BTW the problem was that we NEED MORE! Because of the trolls. So GK and AH are both often online.

Is this being done in any official way or is this just a trial balloon. I thought it was for a moderator not global moderator. I think we would all like a shot at being kicked upstairs.

We don't have enough moderators. We need more globals who can ban too. And we need often online people.

The poll has already started, I think we shouldn't start a new one. It is great.

I am happy as moderator... But it would be good if I had the power to ban trolls... In the past I have had to sit back and delete posts waiting for a global moderator... I know we need more moderators and think it is good to promote those who are contributing to the good of JTF...

American Hero always does seem to know what's going on and that's great. I think he'd be able to spot the trolls very quickly.

Yes.... I have had several heads up from AH that warned me of problems that were moments away. I don't know what system he uses but he keeps close track of whats going on on the forum. His quick action has helped me remove offensive posts on more them one occasion.

You guys, I'm not sure I like this thread.  I see this is becoming a popularity contest.  The ultimate decision as to who becomes a global moderator rests with Chaim.  So Americanhero, German Kahanist and Muman, what you can do is write Chaim a private message asking to be considered for the position(s). 

Otherwise, if it's OK with you guys, I would like to lock this thread shortly.

It's a popularity contest in that one of you will get more votes than the other person.  This should be a private thing.

Choose German Kahanist or Americanhero

Choose for what exactly?   What is this?  We're going to vote on who's a moderator?   I don't agree with this.  The leadership of the forum should come from the top where the trust and vision is already established firmly.

Yet they make bad decisions

This statement is based on what ?    There must be a lot going on on this forum that I don't know about?   Or you dislike the way it's run here and are just now voicing that opinion in a thread where people are supposed to vote you into a moderator position?     .......
