New F1 Moderator
10 Tenths are delighted to announce the promotion of AdamAshmore to the forum moderation team. He will join Bononi, R and Wrex as a co-moderator of the Formula One forum and will replace EERO who has decided, after several years of service, that he would like to take a break from the role.
We would like to thank EERO for his efforts during his reign and welcome Adam to the team. I am sure that you will all make him welcome and look after him! |

Amen to that. EERO has been my mentor in the moderator role, and we will truly miss him in the team. We thoroughly respect his decision though, and thankfully, he will continue to be an active member of 10 Tenths.
We welcome Adam to the team. He has proven through 16 months of membership to be a knowledgeable poster with well balanced arguments, and we think he is perfect for the role. Be nice to him!

Thanks to Eero for his many years in the most difficult to moderate F1 Forum. He has done an amazing job consider all the challenges the forum has faced from individual posters, groups of posters and the turbulence of the series itself. See you around the forums buddy!
Welcome AdamAshmore! It's a tough one, but I have no doubt you'll do a great job. You've got a quite a (great?  )team in R, Wrex and Bonini and I'm sure they'll help you whereever needed.

Well you can always try asking, but normally, when vacancies come up, we discuss posters that have been model members (good contributions, visit the forum regularily, don't try to cause trouble). We then ask them if they're interested in the position.
If you're interested in a certain position, let us know and we'll keep you in mind the next time a vacancy comes up. |

Anyway, it's good to be a bit more involved. I hope I can help keep up the high standards of the present team. And I'll try my best to fill EER0's boots. So, the big question, is why are you reading this thread? Get to the F1 forum...

Welcome to the 'Mad House' Adam.
Your bullet proof vest, night stick and 'ISP eliminator' device are all in this box. Ignore the dirty magazines, AMoffat left them in there. And to EERO. Not just a fantastic leader for the F1 team or a model member on the forum. He is good friend to many, including me. Thank you for your efforts mate, the fact our forum is one of the best (if not the best) F1 forums on the net is largely due to the hard work of yourself and Gerard. I salute you. The only positive of EERO's departure is I can edit his posts now and turn him into the Schumacher fan I know he really wants to be.

Welcome Adam and congratulations EERO on a job well done. IMHO, this is the best moderated forum on the net. You folks seem to be able to strike a delicate balance between oppression and freedom of expression. Keep up the good work.

They also have sexy names like 'R' and EERO. I mean how exotic is that.

well done EERO on your time in the job, you've been more than just a moderator to many people including me, you've been a friend - and i hope you will continue to not now just be a member.
congrats to the newbie

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts. I promise that I will continue to be an active member of the Forum and I will not stop cheering for DC or taking pot-shots at Moffat.
And to amy close friends here, and there are more than I would have thought, thanks for all you have given me over the past three years. This has been a great adventure and now its time for some one else to share in it. |

Welcome Adam. Now you know your main task is keep Wrex out of trouble...

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
If Wrex has taken the bat and ball can I claim the Cricket was a draw? |

Congrats AA. And thanks for taking a thankless job.
EERO, now that you assume the role of Moderator Emeritus, you will be free to express yourself in a way you could not as Moderator. I propose the honorary title of Senior Curmudgeon and Raconteur at Large. Welcome back to the intellectual mosh pit.

Oh, EERO... and if you're planning to write a book of your memories like "My life as a F1 moderator" or "10-10ths: The dark side - stories untold of the wild side of an Internet Forum", please change the real user names properly...

"Tristan, perhaps you could start with self-moderation"
Oh ofcourse. I can understand why I've never had "the email" ( ). I'm just genuinely interested as to "what it takes", that's all. It DOES feel weird to see users who, to me, are still newbies with sub-2000 posts getting in ahead of people like me who've been around for an ETERNITY.(God I sound bitter!! I'm fine!! REALLY!! I think the words "never" and "inamillionyears" spring to mind!! )

How long's a piece of string? It takes very different qualities to moderate the various forums. And to be honest, I think that having done the job for a bit, it becomes fairly obvious quite quickly who is going to approach the task diligently and be committed to it. Without divulging the working what is of necessity a staff decision, I think it's fair to say that most moderators have a mental list of people who would be a shoe-in for a position of responsibility.
But it's very intangible. Again, I'm not divulging any staff secrets here, but before I was invited to be a moderator, I didn't ever get into an online fight that I didn't make peace over. I tried to make sure that people I met on line could trust my judgement and reliability. I didn't play tricks to find my way around the autocensor. I made sure that it was known that I knew my subject. Oh, and I never, ever asked if I could one day be a moderator! Anyway - this is turning a celebration into a serious discussion, and it's not the time to be raining on Adam's parade. He's got my vote, and I reckon he's going to be just great in the role. You all be nice to him, you hear? |
