Silburn-Griggs Moderators I was just wondering how the 8 moderators were chosen for the event, does anyone know? do you lucky moderators know?
1st 8 to reply to Kurts volunteer request?
im only partially jealous , but id be interested to know the selection process
P.S. you all did a great job, except Ollie

Perhaps they sent the most grovelling emails? Possibly they're MC's favourite people in the whole world? Or maybe they've all been really bad and that was their punishment.............
I'm rather glad I wasn't chosen, seeing how it turned out to be sooooo chaotic!

My email said "I really don't want you dead, sign me up."
That is all.

It was rather chaotic, wasn't it?
No suck-up email here--mine was one line: "If there's any way I can help out, just ask. I'll be available on Sunday." That's it. Other than the fact that I emailed Kurt as soon as I saw his request for volunteers, I can't think of any good reasons as to why I was chosen.

I only sent,
"Be careful. VERY careful. Tell me how I can help."
It's not a prize - they just needed some moderators (enough to ensure full coverage during the event time). I figured we were selected based on availability (ie, out of those who had answered the email) and perhaps just general knowing-what-is-going-on-ness and participation. Sensibility can't be hoped for

Yeah, mine was "I'm your man" and nothing else, so it wasn't chosen based on the email.

I see, just out of interest, do any of you know or can you check what time you sent your email? The volunteer request appeared at about 10am on the 19th AFAIK, but i wasnt awake until after 12 . So, I sent my mail at 1:04 PM BST :
To:Kurt
From:beglee
Im up for whatever is needed, count me in!

Say it loud. Say it proud. Ba-Na-Na.
The First Rule of Moderator Club is...Er...I don't know, but if we *had* a set of rules, it would probably be "No running/bombing/petting/peeing in the pool". We don't know the criteria, personally I'm guessing it was largely down to the position of Mars in conjunction with Saturn - but really, we have better things to yak about, move awaaaay from the thread.

Amen, Juxta.
If you really want to know why Kurt picked who he picked, you could always try asking him. He's been known to chat on occasion, or he may answer you via blog entry. I have a feeling this was mostly a case of good old-fashioned luck, though!

My email:
"Even though helping you will probably fall somewhere between 1-7am for me, all I can say is,
It's on like Diddykong."
I think it was the Diddykong bit that did it for me.
