Since U-Moderate has given a voice to everyone on TC, fixed a lot of mis-categorization of posts, and helped put out flames before they rage out of control, I feel that what TC needs to work on right now is other kinds of moderation, like broken links, bad BBcode, and punctuation & capitalization abuse. One thing I have noticed is Humuhumu’s regular use the U-Moderate system for just that sort of thing. She has an eye for detail and catches things like formatting problems, broken rules, confused users, and more. And she always seems to be patient, courteous, and consistent in the process. And of course her dedication to Tiki is immense. So it is with great honor that I introduce Humuhumu as our newest moderator! Here’s to helping make TC even better! ~Hanford

Well done Humuhumu - it sounds like you've got the balance and lightness of touch that means that you never know the moderators are there until you need them! Congratulations!! Trader Woody

GT Geeky Tiki Member Las vegas Joined: Oct 15, 2002 Posts: 533	GT Geeky Tiki Posted posted on Tue, Jun 8, 2004 5:26 PM Well deserved! But...."punctuation and capitalization abuse?" That was teasing, right? On the ther hand, perhaps there may be subversive grammar and spelling that needs to be supressed, as well. Are we headed toward the deputization of syntax police? Time to get out the old Strunk and White! Edtited: Oops, I was posting while the example was posted. By all means, carry on. [ Edited by: Geeky Tiki on 2004-06-08 17:27 ]
H hanford_lemoore Tiki Socialite Tiki Central Joined: Mar 23, 2002 Posts: 1899	H hanford_lemoore Posted posted on Tue, Jun 8, 2004 5:31 PM it's all in the rules: No extraneous characters before or after the subject. Things like (!!!!!!!!!Look at my ebay auction!!!!!!!!!!) are not needed. - Avoid writing entire subject lines and messages using all-capital letters. It makes your posts harder to read. That is the type of capitalization and punctuation abuse I'm talking about. The reason behind both those rules are because people do that to bring to their posts, and if left unchecked it will turn into ebay where every post is in upper-case with a ton of extra characters. ~Hanford [Edited by: hanford_lemoore on 2004-06-08 17:31 ] [Edited by Humuhumu to fix the broken link (hee!)] [ Edited by: Humuhumu on 2004-06-08 18:38 ]

H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Tue, Jun 8, 2004 6:36 PM All I can say is !!!W@W!!! No, actually, I also want to say I'm looking forward to editing all of your posts to insert links to my eBay listings. It's going to be a lot of hard work, but it's going to make me rich, I tell you, RICH! In all seriousness, the job's a little one these days what with how well U-Mod works. I'll just be doing "Cleanup on Aisle 5!" type stuff, y'know, helping little old tikis cross the street, that kind of thing. But I look forward to helping any way I can. p.s. -- Check it out, I got to do my very first url fix on Hanford's post above! Sweet! I had it all backwards -- the best bed is the one that's stumbling distance from Tiki-Ti, or the Mai Kai, or the Lagoon Room, or the Alibi, or the Kon Tiki, or...
