View Full Version : Campaign 2005: Janice as an Administrator!!!
Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 12:14 AM I think it is time that our beloved Janice is bestowed and graced with the title of Administrator. Yes, Janice is a friend, but also looking at things objectively, she truly deserves it. There are not many members who are admired and respected more than her. She is constantly looked at for advice, mediation and a friendly birthday greeting. Janice deserves this title more than anybody on the boards. Whenever there was a flare up, it is Janice who recieved the brunt of criticism and disdain. She deserves every perk and honor that this great site has to offer her. I hope all of you will join me in starting a campaign to get Janice an administrator of SO. Please, let's get this done!
Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 12:25 AM :bump:
moeee 08-17-2005, 12:34 AM yeah, i agree. i voted for her! :thumbsup:
James"Thunder"Early 08-17-2005, 12:38 AM I voted yes
vienna waits 08-17-2005, 12:42 AM Waaaaaaaait. Can we go over what an administrator actually does? I'm under the impression that they deal with all the techinical computer things involved with running a message board. The things you described about Janice are what make her a good moderator.
Mr. Television 08-17-2005, 12:43 AM I vote yes. Janice does so much for SO . It wouldn't be the same without her.
Hollow 08-17-2005, 12:56 AM how about we have an election and the losing candidate gets to moderate the it's a great life board?

PrettyinPink55 08-17-2005, 01:09 AM Hell yes for Janice as administrator!

The adminstrator gets to ban people.
vienna waits 08-17-2005, 01:31 AM The adminstrator gets to ban people.
There's got to be more to it than that.
Brian 08-17-2005, 01:50 AM The adminstrator gets to ban people.
Mods can ban people, too, if they are given that privilege by the administrator.
vienna waits 08-17-2005, 01:53 AM Does Janice want to be an administrator?
Hollow 08-17-2005, 02:10 AM The adminstrator gets to ban people.
janice can already ban people.
Southern Hellraiser 08-17-2005, 07:41 AM I'd like Janice to be an administator.
Superstar 08-17-2005, 08:33 AM It would be great to have Janice as an administrator, she's kind, friendly and fair.
But does Janice actually want to be one?
Nighthawk76 08-17-2005, 10:11 AM I think that Janice should be promoted to administrator. She is one of the friendliest members at SO and I always feel comfortable talking to her if I have a problem. She has also always done everything that she can do to help me out with any problems that I might have had. We are all very lucky to have someone like Janice around here. :)
80s_Fan 08-17-2005, 10:20 AM She should be administrator all the way..:nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod:
TripperFan 08-17-2005, 11:39 AM Definitely. In a sense, I think most members (including myself) already consider her an admin.
Not to slight the other mods on SO, but Janice has the busiest and toughest boards to moderate and does a great job. She should be given admin powers imo. :D
spunkygirl 08-17-2005, 11:54 AM I say hell yes, Janice has more than earned it :)
The thing is what if she doesn't want to be an admin? :(
barwars 08-17-2005, 12:38 PM I'm not quite sure what an administrator does.... but sure, why not.
Stormtracker TF 08-17-2005, 12:46 PM I voted yes. I'm not exactly sure how much more she could do as an Administrator, but she's a great moderator and member and I think she deserves it.
dlemond 08-17-2005, 12:55 PM Hell yeah.
Janice is practically an administrator anyway.
------------
No (not really an option but I'll post it)
Faith, skees53
Nice to see skees chime in after 2 months of not posting.
And only to vote "no" against Janice.
:rolleyes:
Gee, got a grudge there?
EmoJoe 08-17-2005, 01:08 PM I voted yes
MsOrange 08-17-2005, 02:03 PM only if she wants it... but in all honesty, that's between her and TJ
TripperFan 08-17-2005, 03:05 PM Waaaaaaaait. Can we go over what an administrator actually does? I'm under the impression that they deal with all the techinical computer things involved with running a message board. The things you described about Janice are what make her a good moderator.
Actually admins have a LOT more rights than moderators do. Don't think TJ and the others would appreciate it if I posted them all here. PM me if you like. It's not so much about the technical aspects. ;)
Fleet 08-17-2005, 03:51 PM I vote yes. Janice does so much for SO . It wouldn't be the same without her.
I agree, and I voted "Heck Yes." :)
Janice does a great job on Chit Chat. This is definitely the busiest area and where trouble most often erupts.
We have 3 admins already. There's really not enough work for the 3 of us to do. I often have to make up stuff for Seth to do just to keep him busy so he doesn't become bored.
Janice is basically an admin already without the fancy title and complete access to the admin control panel. She has more power than any other mod here. She can ban/suspend people, edit avatars, edit signatures, and look up ip addresses. She would be the first to admit that she's not the most computer literate person in the world. I mean you don't come to Janice instead of robyrob when you are having computer problems. I believe she once needed help finding the c: folder on her hard drive. :)
Janice, is it a question of more money to keep you happy here? :)
Cactus Jack 08-17-2005, 06:26 PM I voted Oh Hell Yeah!!!
Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 06:40 PM Don't get me wrong, Janice in no way put me up to this. Her and I talked about it a couple of months earlier and she said she really didn't want it. The thing is she deserves the perks of being an administrator for all her hard work and efforts. Nobody gets blasted more than she does and I truly feel she deserves some sort of reward. Not necessarily monetary, but something. I think she deserves it...check that, I KNOW SHE DESERVES IT!
Sharop 08-17-2005, 06:44 PM I agree that Janice is a great moderator. She comes across as nice, friendly and very fair-minded in her posts. If I thought she wanted to be an administrator, I'd vote yes; as it is, I'm unclear as to what her views would be, so I'll hold off for now. I agree that she deserves some sort of reward for all her work here.
Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 06:48 PM Again, let me emphasize that Janice NEVER asked for this. I am doing the asking for her, because I feel she deserves it.
Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 06:54 PM I told her that I was going to do it and said I was going to do it regardless of what she said. Janice has got alot of pride. I admire her for that.
Hollow 08-17-2005, 06:59 PM I told her that I was going to do it and said I was going to do it regardless of what she said.
i'd be pissed off if i told someone i didn't want to be an admin and they diliberately started a campaign anyway. i'd trash the thread and put myself down. it makes me so angry when people do things like that to me.
Nighthawk76 08-17-2005, 07:00 PM Janice DOES deserve the position. She is someone that anyone can go to if they have a problem.
I voted No, but only because "Oh Hell No!" isn't there.
Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 08:13 PM I voted No, but only because "Oh Hell No!" isn't there.
A bit moody today aren't we dear?
theshark8777 08-17-2005, 08:17 PM So where is Miss Janice, we are waiting to hear her take on all this!
A bit moody today aren't we dear?
No, a bit moody this lifetime, my dear, thank you very much.
Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 08:23 PM Sorry to hear it.... Well not really but....
Sorry to hear it.... Well not really but....
Well that's good, because do I care? Not really, but...
TripperFan 08-17-2005, 09:02 PM I believe she once needed help finding the c: folder on her hard drive. :)
:lol: Good one!
Janice, is it a question of more money to keep you happy here? :)
O.k. - no title change, but how 'bout a $5K a year raise and use of the company car, plus mileage. ;)
Courtnee 08-17-2005, 09:28 PM :lol: Good one!

Wow - :eek: Hate to see if you ever got PMS! :lol:
Janice 08-17-2005, 09:59 PM Thank you guys for your kind words and votes. I've never cared about being an Administrator, but thinking about it, I wouldn't object to a fancy title below my name. I'm only human. :)
spunkygirl 08-17-2005, 10:02 PM Janice :yourock:
:lol: Fancy titles are always good ;)
theshark8777 08-17-2005, 10:05 PM Didnt mean to upset anyone it was only a joke...
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 08-17-2005, 10:11 PM Janice seems to be running unopposed. Maybe we need to put a viable candidate up against her. ;)
omfg, can I run?!@?! I know I'll lose amd I don't want to win anyway, but it'll be sweet ass fun to make campaign posters and a choose a running mate. Omfg please.
David 08-17-2005, 10:13 PM I voted for Choice A :)
theshark8777 08-17-2005, 10:14 PM :(
Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 10:26 PM Well that's good, because do I care? Not really, but...
I refuse to argue with a lady. So I'll end this now.

Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 10:39 PM Do me a big favor guys, this thread was meant to be serious. Please don't turn this into some stupid random thread and crap in it.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 08-17-2005, 10:40 PM Who's the guy to your left??
um I think it's Steve Martin cause he's the only person in the world who's voting for me

Aslee, I asked you nicely to not make this into some stupid random thread.
TripperFan 08-17-2005, 10:45 PM Aslee, I asked you nicely to not make this into some stupid random thread.
Sorry Bri.
Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 10:47 PM Sorry Bri.
No problem Cathie, I just really feel strongly that Janice should be rewarded for the **** she has to put up with on a daily basis. Threads like the one mocking this thread and this thread becoming random are perfect examples.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 08-17-2005, 10:48 PM Aslee, I asked you nicely to not make this into some stupid random thread.
I posted that pretty much the same time you posted your request. Chh, I'm just joking, everyone pretty much said yeah for her to be administrator...but okay...

My joking wasn't directed againt Janice, I was just joking in general.
theshark8777 08-17-2005, 10:51 PM I also was only joking when I was talking about her running unopposed and only voting yes so they didnt get banned. If you would have said something earlier, I wouldn't have said that. However, threads get off topic alot in here.
Kristina 08-17-2005, 10:53 PM Nah. I don't mean 2 sound bitter but I think she was really mean to me last year and somebody who could be so cruel to another human being doesn't deserve such a glorious title as a message board administrator.looool
Brian Damage 08-17-2005, 10:55 PM My joking wasn't directed againt Janice, I was just joking in general.
I understand that you didn't mean harm, but my thread was heart felt and sincere and you worded it exactly like mine. Hence, it looked as if this is some big ****ing joke. If only you people knew half the bull**** that goes on, then perhaps you would have a better understanding.

Ravey 08-17-2005, 11:11 PM I voted no. I don't think Janice should be an admin just because she moderates a board. A lot of people moderate boards, even if they aren't as popular as Chit Chat.. it doesn't matter. It's not like Janice has to do THAT much anyways. We already have admins. Besides, admins do technical stuff and crap, she doesn't do any of that, as far as I know.

thank you. if we needed another admin she would be a good addition, but three is enough.

She doesn't do much? I guess you haven't been to CC very often.
Ravey 08-17-2005, 11:20 PM She doesn't do much? I guess you haven't been to CC very often.
.... Most of my posts are from CC Random and CC, so yes I have been on CC often. :) Moderating a board is not that difficult, so please don't act like it.
Brent88 08-17-2005, 11:22 PM Everyone...

Half these boards probably don't even need moderators. Chit Chat is different. Its where most of the problems take place and where most of the posts come from. Whenever a problem occurs everyone's first response is to contact Janice. She's practically an administrator now and deserves the title.

An admin does more then moderate boards, they do technical stuff to.

Moderating CC is much more difficult than going on endlessly and posting oh, I don't know about 45,000 posts about how beautiful Raven looks in pink. A CC moderator actually has a JOB.

Janice has worked really hard here at Sitcoms Online, and has had to put up with a lot of hardship to boot. If she wants the promotion, I say give it to her.
I nominate myself for Grand Poobah Senior Member.

Dutabi84 08-18-2005, 07:42 PM I think the title of Administrator is slightly overrated. I've been one of those before, and there really isn't a whole lot to be excited about. You can screw around with layouts and such, if that's what an Admin likes to do with free time. This was for a much, MUCH smaller board, of course. If it's something she wants, then sure..but there isn't much else she'd be doing, like TJ said.
Karen* 08-18-2005, 07:51 PM lolz, I didn't know that the campaign for Sarah as moderator came from this thread! :lol:
Anyway, I strongly support Janice as Administrator. :thumbsup
