nah man I don't think anyone has a problem with you as a Mod. I only seen a few complaints about Mak(and I half think thats just joking most of the time, idk). I gave mod status to Dahlsim, Mak, Kamm, and you Clutch. I am the only admin so far...
I did this because Fish mentioned Mak and Dahlsim and so I was bringing them on and they were Mods over at the other site too I believe. They both are cool to me, and I see no problems they couldn't stay mods... but if they were not wanting to be here, and stay over at maven, then they don't have to stay mods... I mean its kind of up to them.

But based on recent developments the other place seems to not take too kindly to this board or me so they would probably ban me first chance they got should they ever seize control of this board. I post in other places too so I'll be fine but my personal vote is to not mod the people running the other place. But I will ultimately go along with whatever the community decidesI will not ban you because of the past...I only ban based on the present and if said poster goes too far...and before I do I would seek the opinions of the other Mods and not base it on my opinion alone...

I made him mod as he was at the last site, and the plan was to incorporate... .THEN I haven't heard back from Fish since, and the Maven site took down our link and added their own db.com boards section that is just more of the same. So I am not sure what Mak wants to do, or if he is similarly trying to figure this out like I am. We can get more Mods and/or alter the mods... If YOU want to be a Mod and think you can be fair and help keep things tidy? Let me know and we can probably work it out.

I'd be a mod just to get the cool purple lettering.
That and I think I'm an easy-going impartial dude and I'm always on here. Let me know if thats enough or if Mak is still going to be around.

I just hope here, you will be a contributor to this statement. I've seen enough of it from you to know that you can do it. If not, I hope the mods fall under the same set of rules as the posters do.

This is great for people / posters overall who can then control more of their own voice instead of feeling someone else is dictating it for them and also great for the folks (mods) who sign up to simply help improve / sustain something they enjoy but then end up getting burnt out, frustrated, and obligated over something which they originally considered a positive hobby.
I originally volunteered for DBcom / Fish over a decade ago when I was student majoring in computer science + business information systems management, w/ a minor in journalism. I like tech, analytics, and writing — to give ya a sense of where I’m comin from.
For help with tech stuff that’s not related to Mavs / basketball (I.E. my ‘real’ life) — I usually charge by the hour for consulting or agree to an annual salary. For the Mavs, I’m more willing to ‘volunteer’ for free because it’s something I’ve been doing essentially as a kid and enjoy participating (as a fan) on a virtually daily basis. If there’s any ill will or complaints or whatever, I’m happy to back off and step away.
Overall, I’m much more interested in growing and optimizing a basketball site and community from a admin / technology / analytics / backend perspective than as a moderator. I did more of the non-mod stuff with DB.com when it was independent until we helped it grow to the point of getting partnered with FS, CBS, SI, etc. and have done much more with tech related to other industries so I think I can make some decent contributions but I hope there’s isn’t any inclusion of me in anything simply because anyone feels obligated to do it.
I’m happy to help in anyway I can or is needed (for Fish, for Magick, and / or anyone else building a good place to talk Mavs and Basketball) but my personal preference is something along the lines of (1) admin / tech (2) content creation (3) mostly hands off backup / emergency mod.

I find it fun.
Just my 2cents but as long as the ‘schticks’ er, i mean hyperbolic controversial opinions or devil’s advocate arguments, aren’t personally attacking anyone or being overly abusive, violent, inflammatory, etc I think they’re mostly a good thing =D
