Forestry and Logging Moderator

Help Support Arborist Forum:
The main problems with moderating a forestry and logging forum are:
1.- Your most experienced posters with the real hash marks are usually hard-headed and opinionated (i.e. most of the long-time and/or experienced members here.)
2.- Invariably, little cliques start to form after the moderating gets a little more heavy-handed, even among the people you'd most likely think that would not engage in such behavior. Just read a bunch of posts in the archives if you want to see proof of that.
A good moderator here is going to have to be well educated, cool-headed, thick-skinned, and will know a lot of the common forestry and logging lingo. My vote based on observed behavior in this forum (and being one of the oldest members here) is for Madhatte.

Strangely enough, I just set madhatte up. Read his back posts, all good and informative, no infractions, good member for several years. He just got his email.
Jacob, I can't disagree with your post here at all. I think some stuff will get by, based on what you said. We are men, we should all be able to take a little bit of heat, but I think all of us know when somebody crosses the line. That is when people start to walk.
It also can be annoying when every post you make, it get's derailed. This thread I made was going to be derailed (I think they were just letting me know that we should have gave the guy that ruined the Palin thread the boot). We need to make sure good topics stay good topics. I can get off topic sometimes too. I am not saying ban people for being off topic, just saying it would be nice to have somebody say, hey, let's get back to the topic at hand etc. We have chatrooms and the off the topic forum if you want to talk about something other than F and L.
I always think of this clip when a clip or a chat gets off topic. [video=youtube;6EkCdK6bUls]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EkCdK6bUls[/video]
I love the squirrel part. Makes me laugh every time. My two boys have this dog in them. I guess I do too.
All I want to say is thank you Madhatte. You have heard it before. It's a thankless job but you have the respect of your peers and it goes a long way. My wife and I appreciate your volunteering and giving it a try.

Got to understand...I am that dog in the video above. I can take a joke....sometimes need to be told it's joke. Yeah and that smiley should have gave it away. Maybe I will learn after 10 more years of doing this!!
Thank you all kindly for the vote of confidence. I promise to only ever use my new powers for evil.

Holy smokes! What the heck did I do?! I just read through this thread. I do not know why my thread was derailed but I have a fairly good Idea. It sounds like someone wants to have a fistycuff with me from some emails I received. How the heck can you guys read the thread anyhow. I have tried several times and it tells me that it is above my paygrade.
I have fell victim to the very thing I despise on this site, and that is carrying yourself other that you would in "real life" I would have never talked to anyone like that over something as trivial as this.....I logged on in a bad mood and the first post I saw made me angry so I went to hate typing. I cannot remember who it was that I attacked, but I want you to know that us actors are not very tuff at all and are not much fun to fight! LOL Seriously, I really would not have done that to you in person over this, so for what it's worth I'm........S........not pleased with my online behavior. As for fighting, I'm too busy trying to feed my family and having fun for any of that! To all my fellow ASers. My temper got the best of me and I do want to continue on here, so if you all will forgive my little tantrum I would sure like to get back to having fun with you all!
Many Thanks,
Pat

That's where the evil comes in! [insertevillaughhere]
Actually, they're pretty good if you dunk'em in good Scotch or Rye Whiskey. Stay away from the Vermouth though.
Not sure how I feel about soiling perfectly good whiskey.
Agree 100% about the Vermouth, though. It's like a cheap vanilla extract made from a decent Gewürztraminer.
