Say Hello to our New Moderators!

[Skinner]

We had a good response to our call for moderators, and it was extremely difficult to narrow the field down to 28 people. 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 in two months.

As usual, we've got a number of new people who have never moderated before. These folks are going to need a few days to learn the ropes, so cut them a little slack and please try not to make their lives too difficult. ;-)

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 THE NEXT TWO MONTHS:

20. Moderators? What's going on here?

[UrbScotty]

57. They are changing moderators.

Moderators run on two-month terms. Some mods decided to retire, while others are continuing to moderate.

A few days ago, Skinner posted a message calling for people to serve as moderators.

[lpbk2713]

And may the new mods moderate with wisdom and patience. The next two months ought to be quite a challenge.

What happens if a moderator is on your ignore list? I really don't think any of the new ones are, but I am curious.
