> [@Ed\_Zotti](#): > > I’m happy to announce the appointment of two new SDMB moderators. **Bone** will help moderate Great Debates and Elections, while **Chronos** will help moderate Café Society. IvoryTowerDenizen will shift from Café Society to IMHO. **Hal Briston** has retired from moderating duties with our thanks. Longtime users will recall that **Chronos** moderated years ago; we’re astonished that he’s agreed to do so again, but grateful nonetheless. Likewise, we’re pleased to have signed up **Bone** while he was in an agreeable mood; he’ll realize what’s he’s gotten himself into soon enough. > > Please join me in welcoming **Bone** and **Chronos** to the staff. Who? ---

Now mod someone so someone can create an ATMB thread complaining so I can learn all about you. 😉 Chronos was actually [sort of Pitted](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=77020) once fifteen years ago, when complaints about moderation went in the Pit. So **Bone** is the only virgin with regard to complaints. Back in the day, **Chronos** was a real slacker. He couldn’t hold a candle to **manhattan** in terms of Pit threads. ’ ---

Huh. Y’know, I’m actually not certain that I ever even saw that Pit thread, back when it was active. Though it seems to me that I did see at least one Pitting of me, at some point or another, and another where one poster pitted another because of a perceived injustice against me. ---

**Chronos** in Cafe Society. Huh. No idea what I actually think/anticipate/imagine how is eagle eye and rationality will play there. Just, huh. What was he/were you mod of before? (Pit? Whew.) Do you anticipate a different type of note-and-warning comments or amount from this crowd (e.g., “ **username** is a fucking moron who wouldn’t know a Mozart symphony from a Bach fugue. A Trump voter, no doubt”). But of course, best of everything ---
