jrgp for Admin!
« on: March 22, 2009, 05:52:27 pm »
As you may already know, I'm leaving for the Navy as a Nuclear Engineer.

jrgp is an awesome programmer and moderator. I think he's the spunk our forum needs to step it up a notch, and would do a damn fine job as admin in my leave. So, I am officially nominating him for admin of Soldat Forums.

All in favor?

It should also be mentioned that he has been working with ElephantHunter and I on quite a bit of code lately, including the new soldat.pl site, and helping here and there with some stuff on the recent soldat forums work.  I look forward to working with him more, especially with the loss of ElephantHunter.

I think he has done an outstanding job as a moderator and the community has warmed up to him quite a bit in the past couple of years.  It has been a privilege working with him, teaching him, and learning from him.

That said, I'll miss ElephantHunter greatly and look forward to the day when he's back.

I'll support that.



I'm not sure how much you are aware of it, but you gave me the impetus to turn my life around 180 degrees. Thanks for everything, Ellie; I wish you the best.

Definitely in support. jrgp has always been a helpful and responsive mod, and overall member of SF community. He has little to no bias on people, and takes opinions on changes or ideas into account of what he does.

I see what he's doing by not replying on this thread.

If that wasn't sarcasm, why?
Maybe, just maybe, he can change? :P


I voted yes- as long as he gets a little more active in chat. XD

Only thing I don't like about his current moderation is the fact that he posts every time he deletes a post/reply, which is spam. It'd be better to just PM the user and explain why...

All mods are supposed to post in the thread like he does, I always have.

Well, since the only boards I read are the General and Off-Topics, I never really noticed anyone other than jrgp doing it. I've been mailed several times when action is taken against my posts, but they never post about it. :p

Anyways, doesn't really bother me. Just figured it would be simpler to mail the user(s), that way explanations can be given and no risk of changing the original topic.  (Like now)

I don't like how he insults everyone hardcore who he doesn't agree with in lounge discussions and because my forum life revolves around non-soldat related subforums, I'm submitting a formal vote abstention while still supporting jrgp's moderating prowess.
