Desert Cat is clearly the best poster. buffett is also good. Sniper is a day-trader, and he tends to be very vague about how he (allegedly) makes money. Having said that, he also know some stuff. And, beyond that, Sniper seems to be intelligent and mature in general. To me, whether he actually makes money in the stock market is less important than whether he will be a mature mod. [/ QUOTE ] Fair enough. I tend to think that bein a good poster is more important for being a mod than most around here. I think the other posters in the forum are way more likely to respect the mod and keep the forum high content if the mod is a better poster. I read some of Sniper's posts yesterday and I wasn't terribly impressed; like I said before though, you probably have a better idea than me. I'd have no problem with Sniper fwiw. |

FWIW, The Stock Market forum doesn't yet have a mod. Someone suggested that it should have one, and Sniper, a seemingly level-headed, quality poster stepped up. Any objections? [/ QUOTE ] I think that sounds good. The other mod-less forums are software and books/publications. Can I take books/publications as well as mid-stakes? I read that forum a lot and it will be good to have someone to delete blatant spam. Or is it by design that there is no mod there because the authors like Mason are already handling that forum? |

On a slightly different note, I was thinking that a financial advice forum would be a good idea, seperate from the SM forum. This could incorporate discussion of savings accounts, bonds, tax questions, and other investments. Ed, this seems to be yr thing lately -- what do you think?

Seems to me we should let the new forums settle in before we make more new ones. Don't want to spread out volume so much that forums get no traffic. Especially b/c SM doesn't get that much traffic as it is. Maybe make it the SM + Financial Advice forum. |

I don't think making a forum to take away traffic from an already low volume forum is a good idea. |

On the other hand, widening the scope of the SM forum might work out well. |

When we decide that the bad beats forum needs a mod, can it please be Sponger?

One of the things that got missed here were some of the changes we talked about making to the existing forums. Is that something we want to explore at this time?
