Democratic Underground has New Moderators!

[Skinner]

As usual, we had a good response to our call for moderators, and it was extremely difficult to narrow the field down. We had to turn down a number of very qualified people. We hope that everyone who applied to serve as a moderator this turn will consider applying again next term.

A moderator switch is always a little chaotic, so I want to apologize in advance for any problems that may arise over the next few days. Thank you for your understanding.

Please take a moment to say hello to our new moderators, and to express your gratitude to our retiring moderators.

HERE ARE YOUR MODERATORS FOR THIS TERM:

13. congrats to the new & returning mods, and thanks to those retiring.

I take the hint about the non-reply given to my app, but I hope these retiring mods know they were appreciated during a hectic 3 months of health care battle insanity, and all the other Dem/Obama-hatred that popped up.


And just like I posted in August ---



A shout out to the Mods - I'm very impressed. You are doing a great job!

Early this morning, shortly after it was announced Teddy had died, a few of us made some OP's, and when I clicked on Hissyspit's seconds after he posted the photos, a shortly worded hateful post was there - and literally it was removed within minutes by the wonderful moderator 'on duty' - so fast that even Hissyspit missed it I think. (he didn't miss much, just the standard hate speech, yawn)

The quick-draw work you Mods do on behalf of the site is great - and you are to be commended when big events happen and you do that voodoo that you do so well!

Thank you so very much.
