This thread is too long. But, I think I got the jist of it when I stopped 2/3 of the way through.

jason_t got suspended for a few days for trolling OOT. He deserved that suspension.

But, I don't have an overall problem with him. More importantly, it shouldn't prevent him from becoming a mod if he wants to and others think he can do the job.

So is anyone opposed to W. Deranged for SS? If he's okay, do we also want either QTip or jason_t as a third moderator or is W.D + GoT sufficient?

What about HS? Paluka already said he would be willing to do it. Between him, andyfox and j.a. sucker (are there others still in the running?) who would be pick as the second hs mod (I don't think hs needs more than two, but please tell me if I'm wrong)? Obviously in the case of the latter two we would have to wait until we here back from them, but I still think we should try to figure out what we want now so this can be done soon.
EDIT: And Jeff W isn't in the running for HS, right? Does he play those limits?

I have nothing against jason_t -- I think he would make a good mod. All in all I think QTip is a better choice though.

i think we should have separate threads for each forum's mod candidates. this one is turning into spaghetti.

What are thoughts on W. Deranged? Evan said he was the best choice for SS and no one seemed to really either agree or disagree. Maybe Evan can elaborate on this pick?

Sorry I haven't been very active in this thread. I spend the middle part of the day at school and that seems to be when most of you post a lot.

I think he has a few qualities that are important:
-He seems like a pretty bright guy
-He writes very well imo
-He is a pretty good player imo (which is important, whether it should be or not)
-He spends a lot of time in SS

I think most of the SS forum would agree with me on these points. IMO that makes him a good mod choice.

This sounds to me like a very strong endorsement. I've read some of his posts, and I agree. I'm not sure if anyone else did, so I fired a PM off to him asking if he was interested. Given the current standing reservations about jason_t and QTip, could he represent a good compromise that everyone could get behind?

As for high, I know James282 has been an exceedingly valuable poster. I haven't followed Paluka's stuff as much. I'd support the pick of either of these guys. As to who's better, I'll let someone who knows better decide.

I'd just like to point out again that if we've got two people, like jason and 'Tip that we both like, there's no real harm in having more than one, or two, or 4. The more people that can help keep a forum working, and can help in here as part of a "2p2 braintrust" or something, the better.
