Seeking a Moderator for the Moderators (2 Viewers)

... and keep your politics where they belong...

As far as I am concerned with all political opinions on this site - in the gutter. Carry on deleting Uncle Gizmo!

I have got to ask, what is the collective for a group of moderators?

As this is an Access forum, perhaps a (Y)ule of mods - as in module . . .

Or a rater of mods . . .OK sorry I'll stop now

As for the mod of mods, I think the ideal characteristic would be to do the job so well, they would make themself redundant.
In this particular case, I think that has already happened without anyone needing to be appointed.

And there it is. I tend to agree. I know I've been away for a short vacation, but it seems to me that the moderators do a well enough job still that there's no need to have someone to moderate them. If there ever is a rare dispute that can't be mediated, Jon can step in. I just don't see it occurring enough that it requires anyone elevated.

As far as I can tell, everyone has done a fantastic enough job keeping things in order. Maybe this would be something to revisit if things change in the future.

A ban of moderators?

A repository of moderators?

Given this has come about as a result of UK law, I was going to suggest ‘the speaker’ as in the speaker of the House of Commons- the person who slaps down inappropriate behaviour of MP’s

If you really need a moderator of moderators, just have the moderators nominate someone other than themselves. I think you'll have a better time than bringing someone new on straight to a higher position. You can also always bring in another regular moderator to replace their previous role.

Or you could allow majority vetoes if there is a dispute.

Are there often issues that come up? I don't remember seeing much in the past, but I know it's been a while and with site rule changes, if may be necessary.
