In this context it would be interesting to know what actually is behind the roles
What are differences/similarities…?
I mean, maybe we could have addressed a “Liaison” or an “Organzier” with issues we thought we needed a “Moderator” for…
@Private:
My limited experience here suggests others that may have sufficient standing may be CWO Marc, Baron M, Hoffman, wittmann, Black Elk, Zhukov and so on. Of course they may or may not want to do it.
I appreciate the sentiment, but it’s not a role in which I’d consider serving. The reason is partly because I don’t have the time to invest in this role, and partly because I’m not temperamentally suited to be a moderator. I enjoy being involved in a good debate, but refereeing disputes is something quite different; I know that’s only part of the job of being a moderator, and maybe even only a small part of it, but I wouldn’t be comfortable doing so.

I consider my Liaison role as being an ambassador for axisandallies.org
I do not however, wish to move threads from one forum to another, suspend accounts due to the breaking of social policies, or mediate between two bickering children. Therefore, I’m quite happy in my role as Liaison and no more.

I consider my Liaison role as being an ambassador for axisandallies.org
- I promote the site vigorously on my YouTube channel
- I provide numerous links directing people to discussions formed on this site
- I create and make available many customizations for gameplay through this site
- I sometimes stick and unstick threads according to members wishes or my own

Very well described YG, and I’m in agreement with your understanding of the role. We’re ambassadors for A&A.org and work to promote, support, and help the community.
P@NTHER has always been level headed in his dealings with members, and his role as a Rules Deputy puts his eyes in ALL the forums for easy moderation of how members are reacting to each other. That’s my nomination for what it’s worth, however, a mediator can not do their job without guidance from David Jensen regarding the policies he wishes to implement, and the way he wants his site organized.
Was not meaning to nominate anyone. Rather to illustrate the rich pool of members we have to draw on.
P@nther is certainly another great example, but again I do not wish to nominate.
I agree with the various comments about needing to understand the role.
CWO Marc, and Black Elk would make great representatives. I should have brought them up before.
Someone asked what an “organizer” does.
What i do is maintain the integrity of the forums by constantly checking and moving threads that are in the wrong section. I also report spam and coordinate issues within the site, reporting directly to David.
Liaisons job is to watch/report the site for problems and generally help out and promote us to new members and potential members.
Thanks IL.
So we have a few really good suggestions as to potential candidates and no doubt there are more. I imagine the only way this can move forward is if djensen or you contact some of them?
Or let us know if there is a better way to do this.

To be honest, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the same names are listed as moderators come 2018.
You may be right YG.
However IL has been a great supporter of the forum over the years. Hopefully that will extend to moving this forward with dj.
