For each game group, the moderators will rotate thru the membership on alternating terms of 3 months.

Example:

Fahd, Inquisitor, BlueFlames, BlackDove, Killjoy, Nightfury, zephir and Messiah are in the "Chess" game group in the SSX.

The first 4 moderators will be:
Fahd, Inquisitor, BlueFlames, BlackDove.

3 months later, Fahd and Quiz step down and Killjoy and Nightfury take their place. 3 months after that, Blue and Black step aside in favor of Zephir and Messiah. (initially, Black and Blue would have a 6 month term, but, that would be the exception initially). This provides some continuity for the groups moderators, and spreads the responsibility around the group's membership.

3 months after that, Kill and Night step aside for the next two members on the list. And so on, alternating 3 month terms for each pair of moderators.

Moderators will be responsible for maintaing the peace and disseminating information to the game group in question, maintaining stickies, sharing interesting tidbits with the rest of us, etc.

Exceptions iwll be made to this in circumstances necessitated by the forum or game in question, and moderator group owners will be assigned as necessary, approved by the membership and the arbiter, either thru consensus or vote.

All in favor?

Works for me. I'm not really worried about moderators this time around, considering I think everyone here is capable of doing a great job.

If someone doesn't do it properly, they can always be taken down ;D

I'd normally say too short, but the alternating terms means that mods with some experience will be sticking around to help out the new mods.

will only work if one moderator has complete and last say
on posts.
another words the chosen moderators will still abide to one moderator
in charge.
this is only my opinion.
