<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3392781, member: 15199"]Truthfully, I do not think anyone really wants to be a moderator. If so, they probably should not be. I do not believe that Doug and Peter would take volunteers and that is a sane judgment IMO. </p><p>At the time I wanted the forum to be safe for my young relatives who seemed to inherit the insanity that coins can become, so when asked, knowing the administration had the similar thoughts that I had, especially concerning the rules on politics, language, etc. , so I said yes to do my part. There are no classes or manuals to go with the position, just the administration's guidance and help. It is certainly not the pay ( there is none), but instead the knowledge that I have done the best I can AND I have learned a TON of information on areas of numismatics that I did not know. It of course doesn't satisfy all. I have had the owners of 2 other forums ask if I would consider moving to theirs in the same position and I gracefully told them I appreciated the offer, but CT is my home, as it can be yours if you follow the simple rules. We are all different , and the dynamics and make up of the forum is shifting, the Old timers here can aid in making that a positive result for old and new.</p><p>Jim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
