Altough i'm not active anymore, i lurk in that section regularly, and i completely agree with alexrossi.
Bear in mind that the current moderator is doing a pretty good job, but someone else is needed to take care of more mundane tasks, such as those specified by the OP.
The people listed as candidates seems good choices, they're all active and polite.
Topic: Additional moderator required in the italian board - page 3. (Read 3177 times)
relevant:
You should create a topic in the Russian section to discuss whether a new moderator is necessary and, if so, who the new moderator should be. (Do not take a vote, though.) If there is consensus that one or more specific people should be made moderators, then I will (almost always) do it.
I m agree with alexrossi... We need another mod... Stemby and ziomik are good choices.
Maybe alexrossi has right the italian section needs a new moderator (there is a lot of work) and I vote for alexrossi, but I would like also to "nominate" myself to be a moderator if it is possible. I'm online here almost all the day, and report a lot of posts/users.
You don't have to put it to a poll as that is easily manipulated but open discussion from active members is always better.
Exactly what i've written in OP
I'm not going to do a poll because it's generally easy to manipulate, instead, i think that every italian user that agree with my opinion should post here, eventually with other suggestions (for ex. who of us should manage this task).
For the sake of reference (if, as i can imagine, other active local members opinion are important) i think that in this case it's better to post in english.
Agree with you 😊 There are too many threads and messages to check for only one moderator. It's a impossible work ! I think alexrossi is the right man at the right moment 😉

I think theymos' advice is to usually create a thread in your section and discuss amongst yourselves who would be best for the job or if people think more moderators are needed. You don't have to put it to a poll as that is easily manipulated but open discussion from active members is always better.
First of all, sorry for my poor english but is not my native language.
Local sections activity highly varies depending on the country, but surely the italian one is one of the most populated, and in the last months has passed a massive growth also in terms of subsections. Although i think that Hostfat, the current moderator, is doing a good job in the reports management, i also personally think that we need an extra moderator, for two main reasons:
1) The report function in my experience is not used so much by italian users, requiring that someone (hopefully more than one person) sort manually and constantly the threads deleting obvius spam and repeated uncostructive posts. And this is surely a tedius job for one mod, that maybe isn't interested in all of the local board contents, so it's accustomed to patrol less some subsections.
2) The numbers. At the time of writing this post, italian board has >120k posts and >7k threads. French local board has less than the half of these numbers, but two moderators; Spanish board, that is almost the same as size of the italian board, has actually three mods. I think that these are good examples about the people required to properly manage a local board like the italian one.
Even though i'd like to be a moderator, i also want to link two other italian users that in my opinion are absolutely elegible for a task like this:
ziomik: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/ziomik-27427
Stemby: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/stemby-18953
While i'm sure there are a lot of other good users, i vouch for them cause i know both since a long time and they have all the requirements to be good moderators.
