Chip Wrote:Please Welcome our New Moderators
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been a while since we've added new moderators and with the post traffic (as well as the spammer traffic) increasing, it will be helpful to have some additional help in ensuring that moderated posts get approved more quickly and questions and problems get resolved.

So... Please show your appreciation for

Ted Heiks
Airtorn
MichaelOliver
Maniac Craniac

who have all agreed to help out with moderation responsibilities.

DegreeInfo relies on the volunteer moderators to help keep the site spam-free and (relatively) flame-free, and to keep things organized.

I and the rest of the team really appreciate the help of not only our newest moderators, but particularly Kizmet, who has almost single-handedly kept things well organized, Randell, who has helped out quite a bit, and Bruce, who has been a moderator since the site first opened.

Their generous help is very much appreciated!

I've posted more often (if not more frequently) than anyone else ever (except Ted, it now seems). Also, I go back to the a.e.d. days that, eventually, spawned this board. Also, I have the demonstrated subject matter expertise. But moderating the board would impinge on my ability to post what I want when I want. I'll pass. But your "eek" emoticon is both insulting and uninformed. I question whether you have the temperament to perform the role. Let's hope you improve from here.

Looks like Doogle is already busy endearing himself to Maniac Craniac.  Yes, it's all about emoticons, isn't it?    

Being associated with gay boy pornography and pedophile pandering perversion isn't worth mentioning, but those gosh danged "eek" emoticons...that's a piss off!

Leave it to Doogle to prove that the "eek" emoticon was in fact highly accurate and thoroughly appropriate.  Making a dork like Maniac Craniac look good is pretty tough.  What are the odds Doogle gets kicked off DI before he gets kicked out of here?

As I was just explaining to emzee, I just spent none days in the hospital when my diabetes and my manic-depression got simultaneously out-of-whack. As it would just so happen, while on psych ward, I met a fellow patient who had her master's in counseling and had passed her state licensure exams and I believe that she was looking for her first job as a counselor. She had confided in me about certain childhood traumas and this helped me open up in the counseling groups.
