I am submitting my candidacy for the role of the Polish board moderator
as a reason for this I will quote and translate recent comment from thread in our local board called "we need new mod"
Malevolent, our current moderator, has been offline for 9 months. He did a great job, but such a long absence is definitely too long. The lack of merit source is one problem, but the lack of moderation affects the quality of the Polish section much more, I notice that it often turns into garbage. For example, in the thread that talks about how large the number 2^256 is, we have been talking about the zero-value attack for 16 posts, which definitely deserves a separate thread, but there is no one to separate it and move it to. In the signature thread we talk about how casinos can be used to mix bitcoin. In the thread about the price of bitcoin, we are talking about ETF, and the thread about ETF is next to it and is little used. There are many such examples, and appropriate separation of discussions into separate threads would increase the quality of the conversation and the transparency of the forum. Malevolent took care of this as well as doing so upon request. It's normal that sometimes someone will refer to something and someone else will pick up on a topic in a thread that doesn't concern it. The role of the moderator is to keep things in order. Apart from cleaning, we are also exposed to spam and scam advertisements. It's strange that it hasn't hit us yet. I suggest nominating someone who will apply for a temporary moderator who will be a replacement until Malevolent returns, or even longer if he proves successful. Anyone interested?
We discussed that matter many times already in our local board, in quoted thread we decided finally to vote and choose a candidate.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/potrzebny-nowy-moderator-5477539I have won that voting, so I started this thread, hope this is correct way to apply as mod?
Please let me know and if not I will edit this topic or start new one and apply in a correct way.
Am I good candidate?
I've been here on the forum more then 10 years and always helped to moderate it by reporting spam and bots. I have done more then 3000 reports with 99% success rate, received good feedback from others and am DT1 most of the time, also between most recognized members in Polish board, active there frequently.
Is worth to add that I am mod in Altcoinstalks forum for Polish local board from a very long time, i was mod in German and Dutch section when it was still new, am also a judge in court where people can apply for help when they get in trouble.
I think all of this makes me well fitted for this role, even as a second moderator or backup for the time of Malevolent absence, hope he will be back soon and I will be happy to step out when this happens.
