No, but we do need a moderator from the great state of Nevada.

hint: Dissident is one of those people

IIRC it was always argued that Mark gave coverage in Europe at times when Ming was asleep. But that isn't really true any more.

Stefu for moderator, not that crapaud, spiffor. We need some sureal insanity on the staff, rather than more of this mainstream crap.

Stats are great, especially when you get into the details and find out how well they lie to prove a point.

What we need is a European on an Eastern time zone.

I think we need some moderators from Ontario to balance out the Albertans1.

1 no actual research was done in the course of making this post

What do you expect. I work for a market research company that make stats dance to the tune of anyone foolish enough to pay us. j/k, we always do quality research.

At least I used real facts this time.

talking about statistics...i personally think when talking about time-series analysis the robustic approach rules.

How many other 'poly posters can you see at the moment?

I know, but the same holds for other arguments. We need more (whatever) staff. We can't see them, and we barely know most of the people out there so why should people grouse about the nationality/colour/creed of a mod?

Well, actually, I do think a female mod would be a good thing.
Dressing your monitor (read: forum style) up with some nice curtains, telling you to log off and finally go to bed already!!!

Strange that we have fairly left-wing owners while most mods are fairly right wing , is this a balance thing?

A female mod would be hard to find I think. From what I understand, none of Apolyton's female posters come here on a regular basis.

The question is: Is Dissident desperate enough to consider changing his sex in an operation?

For the question: 'Poly has already several European moderators (Solver, Locutus), who are very respected around here. Markos does some moderation job too, however he's still taken with the military.

I think UR was a very reasonable choice for the OT, as he has a very steady presence there, and his timezone will be now better covered.

As for the suggestions for myself: while I'm very flattered by them , I don't think I have the qualities for being an OT mod: I am too tolerant for rule breaches, and my presence in the OT is erratic (sometimes I post 18 hours a day, sometimes I leave for several days/weeks). Besides, I'm generally posting about at the same time as Americans anyways
