Hello All,

I would like to welcome aboard our new moderation team!

David A. Goldfarb
John Callow
Ole Tjugen
Jim Galli

Moderations are discussed by the team before action is taken. Decisions by the team are final, and in most cases a reason for moderation will be given. I believe between the 5 of us we have a good idea of what is best for the overall community. We all believe that moderation is a last resort and plan to moderate with a light hand, so no one needs to panic.

I would like to thank David, John, Ole, and Jim for signing on (the extra help is greatly appreciated!).

Sean

Congratulations Sean on an excellent decision, and congratulations to each of the new moderators. I can't imagine a more appropriate group.

Our very own G4

A good selection min my eyes

Phill

Good luck guys. I sincerely hope you won't need it... :)

The four riders of the APUGalypse ??!?

Glenn

Darn, Sean, why are you so early in announcing their names. I was thinking of setting up a temporary booking office for placing online bets on who you'd ask as mods. I'd guessed right in three out of four people. I'd missed only on John, since he's not so present on the forum in my (very limited) experience.

But all kidding aside, we can't think of anyone who'd be unhappy about your choice. We would not mind being moderated by any of these people.

ARGH! I can't believe I didn't think of this! Good work Glenn. :)

Do I need a Horseman camera to go with my new status???? :D

I think we get shields with the crests of Wista and Linhof on them.

Are you telling us, that is what we can bribe you with to not get moderated? :p

I'll accept a bribe, but it won't make any difference ;)

That comment about "the riders of the APUGalypse" must have triggered something - wasn't it "four Horsemen of the Apocralypse1"?

1:"Apocralypse", because most of the writings about it is apocryphal...

Congrats guys! :) Glenn... love that comment! A man after my own heart (or distorted brain)! ;)

I can't wait to find their "hot buttons", he said gleefully!

A better crew to moderate I couldn't have picked..... But lets not become too moderate in our views.

Well said by our very own APUG Yoda!

Good luck guys, and I hope we never need you to do your job.

good luck !

Wow! Thanks for the kind words

The system Sean set up is really good. It will avoid abuse by us moderators. Like others I don't think we'll be used that much

Well hell, I say we give them a trial run...anybody up for a flame war?....where is jdef when I need him?..... :D

Moderator, Jorge's causing trouble again!!!!! :cool: :rolleyes:

I am disappointed that I am not part of the moderation team. Of course I would be locking threads and deleting posts that does not mention Rodinal or talks bad about the golden juice.

But still...

:p

Morten

Claude
