Hello Linuxers :)

I always browse EGLUG's website each day to see what's new, sadly, I noticed recently that it is being plagued by spam, which is a thing that all of us doesn't like.

So because that the admins are not following this issue closely, and per linuxawy's advice, I request to be a moderator to fight spam here :D

I am wondering how should this thing go?

Thanks,

According to the charter

In the Member Class Assignment Policy, the moderators should be 20% of the senior members (though this can be changed by vote). Currently the seniors are 46 member. The ones who logged in within last 6 months are 25 member.

We should decide how much moderators are needed (I would say 2 or 3 max) and put this to vote. Afterwords a call for moderators is to be made, then a vote to choose among those who are willing to take this role.

I'm not suggesting anything.

But I can refer you to this thread

you are right

Actually as we have zero moderators currently there's no real point of sticking to the rules that states the max number of moderators anyway.

I was only trying to play my rule as an admin, to back the rules up. This doesn't mean that it's completely a right thing to do.

Well I still think we should create a vote, or at least gather some acceptance from members to reach certain point of community agreement on him.

That's my vote for DesertFox as a start

You rarely show on IRC. You

You rarely show on IRC. You don't post much here.

I'd hold my vote for you. Sorry.

I agree with you, I'm not

I agree with you, I'm not posting due to inactivity of the site, and I'm not showing on IRC due to inactivity of EGlug in general. but you are right and I respect your decision..

Greetings
