purpose of introduction of new moderators

[hayat84]

:salam2:
It's long time I was absent from here,but I had a purpose to make here about the introduction of new moderators.I was thinking to ask here if it's possible to choose some member of tti and give him/her the chance to be a new modeartor,because while I was looking to the profiles of all the moderator,I saw that really few of them are often logged in,while there are some members of tti who currently use this forum to post good informations and give good advices.can be they helpful to emprove this forum?
what do you think?I adress my qustion to the creator of this site.I made this purpose to make new people to control what's going on in every moment and to avoid the ones who fake to be interested,while the moderators are busy.can some "co-modearator" be chosen?

Asalamoalaikom wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,

I suppose the moderators have to make more frequent appearances. Some are a bit impatient*Smile*.

Ukht, Just being active shouldn't be the only criteria for choosing a mod. Mods here are someone we look upto and they set an example. I think choosing a mod is a lil bit more harder than that.

Besides, we just have to reach out to them and though they are busy, they do help. The active ones I mean. I know some of older ones are long gone but the new ones are around and serving the purpose. Just last night I reported a dangerous troll, two minutes in Akhi mabsoot appreared And Sweeeeep! everything was taken care of.

Inshaa'Allaah things seem alright to me, though I can see some members have the same feelings as you. Let's see if your proposal is taken into consideration if felt that it was necessary.

yes sister,you're right.by the way this site is "young" but many times it is talked about matters in which is neede the wiser opinion of those who has more experience,I thought it was helpful to give to the sisters's section a female moderator who is older than 30 years,just to be a guide for the younger sisters.many times I needed to share something with some female moderator but she was offline or she was too young for me...ok let's see if my purpose is taken into consideration!

I guess it's not that hard to guess whom you want on the Mod gang. Well why don't you just talk to her anyway. PM her, mod or not, she's always willing to help*Smile*. Infact, Once a mod, she wont have so much time on hands. Let some of the good members be members so that atleast we get to see and talk to them every now and then.

dear sister i can see your point that would make sense to have older female moderator ,,,but its not for us to choose

Moderators do not need to be the only ones who you can ask for advice. Feel free to talk to the other sisters if need be, inshaa Allah.

We will try to find more suitable moderators inshaaAllah. It is better not to field choices in public especially as people may not wish to be moderators, or be embarrassed by not being selected. I would rather people did not nominate other members for being moderators. Inshaa Allah, we can find and place suitable members as moderators when needed.

We like to take time to choose moderators based on various criteria such as their knowledge and adherence to the Quran and Sunnah, good character and previous forum experience, as it is a responsibility.

Thank you for your time and patience with us,

Wasalamu alaykum

Assalamu'alaykum,

Seems like some members feel neglected. I often log in and take a look at the latest threads/posts around here.

I watch ..from the shadows, I wouldn't say I'm the most approachable moderator around, but be assured if there is anything you need a moderators input for, I wont bite your head off.

Sister SeekingAM:- Your last request reached me whilst I was in a whirlwind of busy-ness ..I do apologise for not having sorted it out.

PS:

dear sister i can see your point that would make sense to have older female moderator ,,,but its not for us to choose

Let me clarify, whilst I may not be over 30, I'm certainly not a child... but more importantly, why does someone have to be a moderator to be approached for advice? They do not.

Assalaam walaikum,

Talking about neglect; can I get some cookies...am slowly approaching 9000

Wasalam 'Alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.

What? you are alive? Good news!*Smiles*. We thought you were you know;p

Ukht it's good to see a post from your before 2012. Btw that bold bit, looks like you will if we arn't careful.

Sister SeekingAM:- Your last request reached me whilst I was in a whirlwind of busy-ness ..I do apologise for not having sorted it out.

Allaah's mercy, Yeah I'm seeking that. Khair Inshaa'Allah. The purpose of my reply, which request? I didn't send you any. You probably confused me with someone else. I've reported a couple of thread and posts. I believe that's all I did in connection to Modwork recently. May be you should double check it.

Barakallah feek ukht!

Btw don't mind, all that was joke. You've been missing for quite sometime. Hope you are well and things sort out for you.

thank you for all your posts.maybe I wrote without thinking goodly.the fact that I wished to have some new mod.is that a member who becomes a mod has a higher degree of responsibility and I could trust to her much more.there would be some matters about family,marriage,children and so on...and maybe a "normal" member can't answer giving a satisfying answer because she's not much experience and she maybe doesn't want to share her personal matters(family,children)...sometimes I put here the question about how to raise up young children,but many people here don't have any ones.
I really wish to be a better woman.I wonder why I can't be so

Ukhti, I just want to clarify one thing, although we Moderators will try our best to help when and how we can, it does not mean that we are available or even necessarily capable to give personal advice.

There's a distinction clearly in this. The position of a Moderator is to moderate between members if disputes arise, look out for potentially wrong or incorrect information, warn members who may be stepping out of line, accept requests into the Sisters' Club, etc...

The position for advice? It's not necessarily under that description. We're here to help, and guide, and do what good when and how possible under our circumstances, but if you're seeking help and guidance, you should approach those who are specialized in that. Just because a member may be married and a moderator, doesn't mean that they will be any more qualified to help in a certain way - than another sister who is married but not a Mod.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that this bit isn't in the job description, so whereas I understand that you are seeking and looking for an older mentor for help, and insha'Allaah I hope you find it, the sudden turning of a person from orange to green, won't change all that much. Our responsibilities lie in the running of the website, and any problems which may arise in it, and trust is general quality, developed on basis of reputation.

Most of the sisters I know on here are very trustworthy, kind and helpful. You may have to make that final judgment on a person to person basis, but I'm sure if you see from their posts that they may be able to help you, send a message and I'm sure they'll be more than accommodating.

May Allaah give you goodness and ease and provide for you solutions to all your problems.

wasalaam
