diceke said:It does seem like certain nationalities are preferred in the team, but maybe the admin should actively seek other nationalities.
The mods I agree are doing a fine job. Now if there was a position of Japanese admin that would be a different story....that, in my view, would largely have prevented the horrible conflicts of the last few years, leading to the current state of relative apathy and decimated membership.Particularly in relationship to the number of mod's that are from other countries.
While I personally have had issues and disagreements with moderators here in the past, I think they are doing a fair and balanced job.
It's not as if I want to be one. (When did I beg for it, nice gaijin?)If you hang out here long enough, and prove yourself one who considers the welfare of the entire JREF forum, then you may very well be brought up for a moderating position !

The general tendency here is to take the pre-existing selection of mods as balanced without acknowledging certain inclinations, but this doesn't result in fair moderation, it may even lead to an uneven dispensation of judgment.
Wakey, wakey!

What else could anyone read into that and your other posts.Hmmm. I was never asked.
In your opinion, how long is long enough to qualify?If you hang out here long enough, and prove yourself one who considers the welfare of the entire JREF forum, then you may very well be brought up for a moderating position !
Judging from the posts.....@diceke : Any suggestions besides yourself ?
NANGI is now only sporadically active, unfortunately, but does seem to check in every two months or so. Regardless, he saw himself always as only a Japanese language TUTOR in the Japanese learning and Nihongo subfora. Rarely if ever doing routine forum maintaninence things traditionally carried out by the mods. Creating another position in that capacity and taking advantage of their language skills or other cultural knowledge makes a hell of a lot more sense to me than appointing a token general mod primarily to take advantage of that member's nationality.No offence, but did you see his joining date?
I do like the other ones, so I will keep that in mind when the time is there again to have new/extra mods.
Ah! and don't forget misa.j!(edit; I confused the joining date with the last posting date ... wow)

I think you are here long enough, when you post quality posts, can communicate well with the other members, know enough about Japan to advice, know the forum, etc.
