I know that Jayan is the moderator for this Sub-forum.
I just asking for another moderator for our sub-forum. I can see that our Moderator seldom came in. So we kindly need another moderator to do the work for us.
With this I will Nominate chancy as our moderator for this subforum.
Hello Merciless Knight & Bariq,
Thank you for your normination. The Olympus has come to be what it is today through the contributions & enthusiasm of many. Personally, I enjoyed the civilised & cordial manner of exchanges. We have a good mix of CSers with interest in varying fields of photography even though we share the same maker of equipment; this hails for an interesting future.
I cannot speak for Jayan our forum moderator; while he's isn't always visible; he chimes in for the Camedia & the 2100 users. If I recall correctly, he takes pain to acknowledge & welcome new Camedia users to this forum; such gestures are hard to come by. I'm thankful too that he tolerated by OT banter.
The Olympus community is about the Camedia users as much it is for the OM, E-System users; it just occured to me that the E-System group has been using most of the Oly bandwidth
But that's only natural as we can speak best for the equipment we have on hand. Imagine when the E-3 or the replacement for your E300 is introduced; as owners of a previous generation of Olympus hardware, we'd have a challenging time quipping our two cents and may have to step aside for new owners; as keen as we are to contribute & help. This will be the long term issue to address.
If we put the moderator issue aside, am I correct to say that other than the rare & forgetable troll, we have managed to conduct & manage this forum with civility & respect without "policing".
Question to ask ourselves: Can we run continue to run this forum without a moderator ? ; I can't help but be amazed by the talent we have here and I've counted on many here to chime in when I'm tied down.
Thank you Merciless Knight, Raycsk, Bariq, Serene, Nightpiper, Tomcat, EvilMerlin, Philshots, Ykkok, Cookiez, and ALL. I guess I've named my potential list of Moderators
Just to let you know that I enjoyed all your postings, maturity in handling postings, admire your energy in followup with Oly news then sharing them and the dose good sense of humour to lighten up the day. It's a collective & democratic effort worth keeping.
Cheers,
