Should Real Surf elect their moderators

I'm not suggesting Trevor be elected, he would stay as head Mod, of course.

No. This place needs to be ruled by a tyrant that can moderate softly, but carry a big fcuken stick

See my note. I’m not suggesting Trev be made to run. He stays as king Poobah. It’s the others under him.

At least in the US there are people who want to be candidates.

Do you want to be a mod, thud?
I sure as shit don't.

Some might. Let’s see.

If it comes to pass they don’t and Trev makes all the calls then I’ll never raise the topic again. The tribe have spoken.

And there you have it folks.

At 10-2 you’d have to say that’s a resounding vote in favour of Trev (or another) making the calls on moderators.

People had a say and that’s the result.

Wow, 8-4. Guess there’s the odd RSr who thinks otherwise. Still looks like Trev gets to choose.

But, it’s been a good experiment to hear the voices of the quite real surfers.

This reminds me of calls about the lack of Transparency in the selection criteria for the A Team in the Under 6s Soccer Comp when my son played soccer.

Here’s the thing. I was curious to see if all you progressive socialist types were comfortable in a governance model where one person makes all the calls. I wouldn’t compare Trev to Trump however, in effect that’s the style of governance you’re voting for.

Interesting and says a bit about human nature and organisational preference.

That and I wanted Jimmy to f&ck off (aka Rudi G)
