Gidday mates,

Provided I have Agnes’ blessing, I would like to throw my hat into the ring for moderator of Relationships, ousting the current incumbent.

Prefect wants to run as well. He has authority so may be a good candidate. We could even run on a joint ticket.

Someone (I think maybe Agnes) said she would support BigP.

There may be others who would like to run. I’m assuming Aussie would like to run for the position as well. If you’re interested in modding Relationships, come forth and speak.

I’m not sure how a spill is conducted on this forum. It strikes me that firstly, a significant portion of the membership would have to be unhappy about how the Relationships board is being run.  Then someone said we ask Vic I think.

So voice your thoughts. Incidentally, I have stated my vision for Making Relationships Great Again in the Welcome thread.

Poll attached

This I my post in the Welcome thread, basically outlining what I would like to see Relationships look like under my stewardship:

Yes, I would be interested in modding relationships, but to be honest I don’t really understand it. In its current form, perhaps it could be called “bad relationships” because it doesn’t seem to be about anything else at all, except squabbles, accusations and bickering. I guess if I took leadership of the mod board, I’d give the toilet a decent brush and flush. My take on relationships would be to make it a study/exploration of human behaviour. I’ve gotta psych background so it could be anything from mental illness, personality disorders, offenders and why they offend, sexual behaviours, deviancy, suggestions for how you get along with your spouse or neighbour, maybe an “agony aunt” couch, etc etc etc. there is so much more, but you get the idea. Human relationships are complex things and fascinating to discuss. We could also give them a political bent, ie what drove Joseph Stalin or goebels, for example. What makes people follow cults? Why are some folks left, and others right. There’s plenty of really interesting stuff we could be doing and discussing on a board about relationships. It doesn’t have to be what it is or looks like now. What do you think of my platform, cods? And others?

Hi all,

Thanks to the people who voted for me. Even though I got 8 votes to Aussies 1, clearly showing how unpopular his board is in its present format, I don’t think I can push harder. I guess I wanted more members voting in order to be considered. 9 votes from the membership is not enough in my view to oust an incumbent.

I’m currently talking to another admin. Hopefully that’s promising and we can have some really good discussions.

Thanks again.

Dave
