Mad Men Forum Is Looking for Moderators

We know Maddicts are a passionate lot so we're pulling together some of the sharpest and savviest as we look to improve the Mad Men Talk Forum between Seasons 3 and 4. With that in mind, AMCtv.com is currently looking for one or two Mad Men Moderators as well as a number of Senior Talk Forum Members who would post relevant topics, guide conversations, and share thought-provoking insights on the show and its talented cast and crew.

Interested in learning more? Drop us a line by sending us an email here.

Thirteen, are you listening.....you would make a perfect Senior Talk Forum Member.

user-pic


I agree, z.

user-pic

I also nominate SCfan and Greytone.....and DrinknSmoke, too.

user-pic


I nominate zerelda, greytone, wasthere, Laurie B., Mambo Deb, Auburn Annie and Drink&Smoke!

I would nominate some of the folks who went over to the Yahoo site, but, I guess they're over there mostly now....

I truly don't think I'm the best choice, z....anyone of those I mentioned above would be great. I have way too much of a tendency to go off topic and ramble....let's face it. I'm the first to admit that.

I'm glad we're getting a Moderator and Senior Talk Forum Members, though!

user-pic


Oh, and zabadu, too.

I know I've forgotten some great Maddicts, I just have CRS and you know what that means! lol?

user-pic


...And 60'schild and rozsie....and.....there are lots of capable, interesting Maddicts, and if I forgot to mention you, it's the CRS.

You know who you are, e-mail Lily and get with it! lol

user-pic

All good suggestions, SCfan. I would not be a very good choice, though. Don't have my wits about me, most days, I'm afraid.

Looks like our little Forum is going to be overhauled at last. Hope that means no more being overrun by trolls.....but I also hope we still get to have fun together.

Lily ...
I just wish your website would respond to me about not being able to post a message on the site
am I barred or something and if so would sure like to know
thanks

Just got news from the SCDP Yahoo site about the turn of events going on here. Well, this is long overdue I must say. Zerelda and SC fan you talk about the folks who went over to the other site like you're not among us. You're members! So are most of the people you mention would make good moderators for this site. We took the cream of the crop, I must say, not that you can't post here as well, as your presence here proves.

We have 2600 messages on our site starting with the second to last episode and there isn't one troll posting among them. And the only comment we've had to edit was when someone accidentally posted their contact info when sending a message from their blackberry. Meanwhile, it looks like the AMC site learned something from our defection. I'm glad they took the time to reflect on the changes we asked for. All I can say is, what took them so long?

user-pic


Thanks NNT....yep, long overdue. Just glad it's finally coming to pass.'

Hope it doesn't ruin our spontaneity and fun, like zerelda said.

Wish I had time to post on the Yahoo site more....old habits and all that.

I do have a soft spot for this site, warts and all, can't help but say....but, I'm happy for you all who are trailblazing over there....

Hi All!

I agree SCfan about everyone you nominated. The only one I might add would be Stagekiss! She has some wonderful insights. By the way, where are you Stagekiss!! Haven't heard from you in a while.

I really like this sight, not really interested in the other one. You know your are hooked when the first two things I do in the AM is check my email then come straight here!! Love it!!

Thank you SCFan and Zerelda..thoroughly enjoy your posts!

Take care

I'm finally able to get back into the Talk Forum site. I couldn't get in at all for some reason so I was only able to comment on the blog since about the start of S3. I'm sure I missed a lot.
Happy Thanksgiving to all Maddicts.

user-pic

Can I nominate myself. Say no if I can't. I'll wait five minutes. Okay times up. I nominate Hobocode 52 to be the future moderator of this forum.Unless a sense of fair play and a quick wit would disqualify me that is.

user-pic

@hobocode52-I totally nominate you, as well!! Love your posts!

user-pic


Yes, Stagekiss and hobo would both be dandy also, jeffe, I claim CRS that I didn't mention them in my mass nominations up there. I also enjoy their posts a lot. If I forgot anyone else, I'm sorry. Now what was I saying? oh yeah...

Hope you guys hit that e-mail Lily link up there.....


user-pic

What a great thread, all my favorite bloggers posting in one spot. Thanks for the nomination - I enjoy all your posts as well and feel any one of you would be outstanding as a moderator. Where's Dry? She would be great as a moderator as well. Cheers.

user-pic

Thanks to you all for your great comments and making MM a great experience. I nominate everybody!

user-pic


Drink, I think you or any of the others I've "nominated" would all be great....but, I, on the other hand, am entirely too much of an off topic fan, I enjoy it when everyone "banters" ....I'd be terrible at keeping everyone on the subject, and that's the sad truth. I'll probably end up getting booted for that very thing when the "new" forum commences. lol??

You, on the other hand....are concise, diplomatic and to the point....lots of you Maddicts are....Lily will have an easy choice (depending on which ones actually e-mail her to "apply for the job", I guess!) IMO

user-pic


Drink, I also think Dry would be a great one...I posted that on the thread like this one that's on the Blog section....where oh where can she be?

Dry, are you out there? Dontcha wanna get this gig and keep us all in line (keep the cats "herded", as zerelda says! ha)

Good luck, (keeping these cats herded I mean!) But, you really would be good, I think....maybe you went over to the Yahoo forum...oh well....our loss, their gain, I suppose....

user-pic

Where is Dry, by the way? What ever will we do without your insight and killer sense of humor? Please sign in and accept your nomination!

user-pic

I think it's up to AMC who they choose as moderators. If they do, I don't think they will be choosing people who were highly argumentative like Dry was. Also, I believe, she herself said, that she was warned by Lily on a number of occasions. I think people who got warned would be the last folks that AMC would hire. Then again, it's AMC, so maybe their "cunning plan" would be to put the luntics in charge of the asylum.

Jeffe, if you're really not interested in the Yahoo site, let us know and we'll unsubscribe you.

user-pic

Hh..hi. Mom and Dad, can I come home now?
I was a little embarrassed from steering everyone down the wrong road of Roger and Don visiting Joan's apartment...sorry (stupid Pete and his fruity pink front door!)
I want to come home, it's getting cold out there.
Anyway, I won't be sticking around too long because I've been seduced by the streets! I'll make an occasional appearance when I need to steal cash from your purse and prescription pills.
This thread was irresistible. Finally!
@hobocode52, I third your self nomination, if you promise to FORCE everyone to attach an avatar to their posts.

user-pic

G just because you have the coolest avatar some people would rather go blank then try to compete with you.I will if selected urge the use of avatars. The craziest thing that happened in the wake of the secession from this site was the entire "anonymous" program. Several different posters chose to go the Anonymous route when that option was presented to them. I found it a pain in the neck. Hey Anonymous of 11/1 10:24 loved/hated your idea. That policy has to at least have a mandatory avatar. why am i suddenly craving a Brady Bunch episode.

user-pic

My bad: Jeffe, I offered to unsubscribe you from the yahoo site, but I've since been told you aren't a member.

user-pic

@hobocode, see? That's why you need to moderate. Not only do you find joy in Jan Brady's wigged pouty face, but you also know what it would take to keep it as simple as it should be.
I personally just skipped through any 'anonymous' posts (realizing early on that there was more than one).
All that shouting and pushing and shoving scared me away from the site on some days (Mom and Dad, please don't fight).

But really everyone, just google image a subject and 'save' in a file...

user-pic

I suppose I'd propose myself and TheProf, with all due humility.

user-pic

I am the middle child of 5, and therefore, by birth order, am naturally the moderator. At least, that's what I'm told. Thank you, no applause, just throw money.................
