Democratic Underground Has New Moderators!
Edited on Wed Aug-05-09 08:04 PM by 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:

awoke_in_2003
canetoad
CatWoman
cbayer
CrownPrinceBandar
Danger Mouse
dogday
gabby garcia

And I would like to express my gratitude to the retiring moderators, who did an amazing job during the previous term.

SAY THANK YOU TO THE RETIRING MODS:

Call Me Wesley

NEW MODERATORS: Please log into the private Moderator Forum and introduce yourselves. The moderator forum is in the "My Forums" section at the top of the Latest page. You may have to log out and log back in again to reset your account and access the forum. If you have difficulty finding the Moderator forum, please send a private message to Elad.

RETIRING MODERATORS: Please log out and login again to reset your account to regular member status.

Thank you, moderators! We wouldn't be able to run this place without your help!

22. I would be one of those, I have a kajillion questions!
Thanks folks for all you've done, and you in particular DM for returning to a position of authority over the contentious crew I call peers, I don't envy the exasperation that must come with the turf.

Would like a few clarifiers on what I can and can't say or promote here, is it inappropriate to ask for a mentor type to be sure?

Only 2 posts - not very good at lurking! I guess he just couldn't contain himself (assuming it's a he).

32. I have it on good authority that CatWoman is a RW troll.
Edited on Thu Aug-06-09 03:57 AM by Blue-Jay
Plus, she doesn't put out.

(at least greatauntoftriplets likes to smooch once in a while.)

EDIT: I'm giving this thread a thumbs-down. Why? Because I'm an asshole!
