Please welcome AdminRandman

I very, very much wonder about the logic behind this. I can completely understand wanting creationist mods, but this is the worst possible choice and I don't think it takes a very deep dip into his post history to figure out why.
Randman, I apologize if this comes across as an attack, but it's my honest opinion and I wanted to voice it.

It may be well and good for Randman in the end, but is the betterment of a poster a good reason to make someone a mod? It seems to me that you should only make people mods who you think will do well at it, and who show the ability to themselves stay within the rules. Randman does not show that ability.
I mean, what does it tell someone reading the board when they read some of randmans posts, and then see that he's a MOD? Is that the kind of example we want?
But, I'm not the admin here, so what I consider valid reasons to make someone a mod are irrelevant. That is, however, my opinion.This message has been edited by BuckeyeChris, 11-18-2005 03:35 PM

I don't think anyone is saying that having Christian/creationist mods is a bad idea. But how is anyone supposed to respect the authority of a mod that himself has shown a complete inability to respect the forum guidelines, and imo a complete lack of respect for other posters. For example I notice that his first modding action (besides promoting a topic) is reprimanding FliesOnly for going offtopic. (whether that really is offtopic or not, I'll leave for others to decide)
Randman is modding someone for going offtopic.
There isn't a bit of irony there? How can anyone respect him as a mod, beyond you saying "I made him a mod. He IS a mod, therefore you will respect it until the situation is otherwise"
This barely affects me; I lurk far more than post. But unless randman at least shows civility, how are people supposed to respect the authority of this board when one of its enforcers is such a poor example. Am I being unfair here?
