TOTV Moderator(s)
The Talk of the Villages has grown to over 1,200,000 page views and over 100,000 visits every month. In an effort to help bridge the gap in the learning curve as new owners and to hold us as new owners accountable to maintaining and growing the site as it always has, we have enlisted several TOTV users as moderators. Several will be anonymous moderators that will help as a sounding board for issues, research for ideas, and general housekeeping of the site.
User Faithfulfrank has been listed as a public moderator to help as he has many years experience as a moderator on a much larger board and has been on TOTV for over 3 years. He will be active in helping me with site maintenance and issues. Please feel free to private message either one of us if we can ever assist you or email me with any questions at talkofthevillages@gmail.com. |

Richie, I own a parenting board. It is basically run by moderators. I interfere only when there are major issues. Moderators have a vested interest because they are members of the board and care what happens. Moderators want to protect their board and the direction it is going. Owners are frequently too emotionally involved either because of financial issues or emotional involvement in their baby. I'd suggested to the previous admins that they get moderators when I first joined. Glad to see it is finally happening even though I'm not a fan of "secret" moderators.

What Does Vested Interest Mean?
1. The lawful right of an individual or entity to gain access to tangible or intangible property now or in the future. A vested interest is an entitled benefit, which can be conveyed to a separate party. There is usually a vesting period before the claimant can gain access to the asset or property. Due to the right of ownership, the benefit can not be taken away i.e. the vested funds are not contingent on any action or inaction. 2. A financial or personal stake one entity has in an action, separate entity or commitment, with the expectation of realized benefits in the present or the future Read more: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/v/...#ixzz1WKHzcwx4 An advertiser here would have a vested interest here at TOTV because he or she has money invested in the success of this venture. |

The former owners did not want to participate in a moderator role.

Moderators have friends on the message boards and being fair and doing what is best for the board sometimes ruffles feathers...but in the long run, things settle down, people write, argue, joke and agree or disagree and the board continues on. Life is filled with changes...some bad, but many good, even if we can't see the good part for a while. It's a job with no pay, frustration at times, but is something done to help keep a board that is loved and enjoyed by members and moderator alike, functioning smoothly. Pat |

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist!) IMHO, whatever is happening now with the new owner is wonderful. Keep up the good work....owner, moderators, etc. :thumbup: |
Moderating must, at times, make one feel like Miss Francis (from Ding Dong School.... memba her?)
Thank you from me. |
