Yes, please take it to PM.

Lots of people have had brushes with Tamago, but he's very knowledgeable and does add value to the community. Those are good enough reasons to keep him around IMHO.

Here's my list of nominees (in no particular order):

PK
kurokoma-kun (if she's decided to stick around)
CTScott

Kaotic Lazagna

2. wouldn't leave well enough alone and opened a new thread, linked to his old thread (that was bashing gays) acting like he wasn't in the wrong, just stirring the pot even more? (and didn't tamago go in there and mention something about letting sleeping dogs lie?) :biggrin:

ok.. first and foremost.. I nominate myself, Jill, DVLNBLKDRS, as potential mod. I have been here through the good times, the bad times, the hack, the cavetipse hunting season, the people needing help, the gripes and the joys. I feel I am a positive choice as I am honest & will tell you what i feel while remaining impartial and listening to everyone within reason. You have all seen me on here, know that i provide as much useable info as i have & spare parts and assistance when available.

and that is my campaign.. lol now onto the rest of my nominations, I nominate Alexnet0. He is a positive asset to this forum, though fairly new, comes with fresh new ideas and a new way of looking at things. He is knowledgeable and fairminded :thumbsup:

and for my other side of the globe nomination, i choose.. 1nzyaris1. he has been he a while, is extremely helpful. he is active and on the other side of the globe, so may be on while we sleep, keeping those nasty spammers at bay..

so please, dont vote for your best friend. vote for people who will make a difference in retaining as much YW as possibly can through the changes and through the times :thumbsup:

How about not?
He's been in way too many heated discussions/wars over the years because of his *it's my way or no way* mind set.
A mod needs to be flexible and non confrontational, that's not Bailout.
A vote for him = a vote for division...Bailout's clique vs all non-conformers.

He has the knowledge, just not the temperament. Sorry, but the only worse choice I can think of off-hand would be a vote for myself.

Yeah, that's the thing. You're all naming people but do they even have the time or the desire to be online and policing threads and/or deleting spam? Being a Yaris enthusiast is obviously a good thing in this forum, but doesn't automatically make you a good mod.

Maybe some clarification about what being a mod is going to mean would be in order. I have a feeling some forum members are just interested in the extra "power" or just seeing their name in red, but have no clue what's expected. Just my 2 c, though. :biggrin:

Alt, thanks for the suggestion, but I'm with KK on this - I don't really want to be a mod, more because I'm not on here enough (at least not consistently) to do much good, but also I'm HOPING to actually get work at some point :smile:. and will be "on" even less.

How about we make an actual poll listing some of the names being listed on this thread, see what the votes look like, and anybody not wanting to be on the list can speak up. Just to sorta see what YW members want, maybe helping YB to make the final decisions???

I guess there would have to be a way to vote only once, but check all that apply before submitting, for it to work.

No offense, but - 1 on that part of your comment.

And I don't even know Jill, she's not my friend or anything, but I've seen some of her comments in various threads and I think she would be a good mod. She seems to be one of the very few on this board who can be honest - even if this means going counter popular opinion - without being agressive.

All I can say is that I have made some new, and might I add good friends on this forum. That being said we are in need of help and I would gladly donate any of my circuits or gears if it would help.(If you catch my meaning) I miss YW of days gone by. I'd love to see it brought back to it former glory. This forum weighed heavily in me even buying my YARiSin the first place. I know that I have not been as active as I once was in part do to real life holding me back, but also due to some of the concern mentioned in this thread. I'm rambling but I'm back for good (I never really left) and I will do what I can to help.

WTF, I'm throwing my name in, too, just to help out with SPAM control during certain hours, why not.

Can't help much with Yaris technical threads but certainly can delete spam when I'm online, at least for a while, until the site has all their ducks in a row, new mods in place or whatever.

YBueller, let me know if you need help with that.

I agree, in the end it should be up to YB and the remaining mods to sort the deal out instead of just our "popular vote". Kind of electoral college style.

I think that as I said before, it should fall on the objectivity of a member as well as how well they can squelch hot spots before they go to far. There is a bunch of bananas to juggle as a Mod.

Well, it's his site = his decision. :smile:

We can always make suggestions for him (like "so and so" is a bad idea because ... or "so and so" is highly respected" and would be an asset because ") but in the end, whoever has the most admin rights has the utlimate say :bow::bow::bow: and they may chose anybody based on any reason you or I may or may not agree with ...
I'm joking a little bit but it's still true though.

Don't worry too much, though. People come and go online all the time, but I have a feeling YW isn't going anywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the old mods came back later.

Just relax and enjoy the forum, go wash your car or something, read informative threads or do something else and try not to worry about new mods too much. Que sera sera :smile:

I have a question for TK - do you have the ability to create moderators or do we have to wait for YB?

I can't add mods by myself. And I don't think it would be fair even if I could. So keep on adding names, and hopefully we'll all reach a decision soon. :thumbsup:

Not true! You organized 2 north california meet :biggrin:

I didn't do anything for the site either then and ... :eek: I even drive stock !!! :eek: (well for now) but the point is that they need eyes to help keep the site running smoothly and more importantly someone to push the button when the spammers start making their rounds.

I threw my name in the ring to offer to help out while I can but I don't want to step on anybody's toes, ONLY offering to HELP :smile:

the best mods are the ones who dont care enough so that they dont get drunk with power.

You're probably right in most cases. I have a good feeling about DVLINBlckdress (Jill) though, and some of the others who volunteered.

By the way, has anyone asked YarisOnwersDad+ if he's interested? He'd be grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

IF I may make another suggestion (seeing as my first one went over so well lol)

have one of the mods clean this whole thread up and make it so that the premise is clear again. only keep posts that have the following order to them:

NAME of nominee
Reason


will get rid of all the banter that is not needed.

we don't need to read about why so&so doesn't agree with so&so about who they're nominating. After all i really don't think we will be making the final decisions.

Would anyone mind if I threw my hat in the ring? I know I don't post very much and I don't have a Yaris, but I've been around before the hack. I've also noticed the surge in complaints of spammers, I'm usually logged on when nobody else is and I wouldn't mind keeping a eye out for spammers while everyone sleeps. I feel I could be a good moderator here because I'm pretty open minded and I feel I don't have biases against anyone because I don't own a Yaris.

Is there an option to give people the power of just being able to remove spam? Their title wouldn't even be called "Moderator." Just people who are on often that could help with spam, if it occurs. No banning ability, no thread/posts deleting ability, etc...

ps: I'm not in hopes of getting that. It just seems that it might make some people a little less salty at not being picked as moderator; and it could also help contribute to keeping the site clean.
