I need clarification wrote:

But I do think you're right. Caltrops is in dire need of some sort of organization, and I think an Editor in Chief is needed. Someone to determine what is teh funny, and what is the rest. The first article on the page shouldn't be the last submitted if it sucks.

So, all that's left is to determine who should fill that role, because clearly the rule by committee isn't working, as Fabio has said.

SB - no. Not funny enough, plus he might find the job too constricting if he's not allowed to pretend to be crazy now and then. Plus, he wouldn't be able to scream "Not me! Not me!" every time someone levels a criticism at the site.

Zsenzi - No, completely unable to remove herself from the content.

ES - no, too busy.

Fabio - maybe.

Fussbette - maybe. But also seems to be a bit on the "not me!" side...

Ray - Yes. Too busy?

BDR - Yes.


I'd say Ray or BDR would be good choices.

I loved the idea of an editor back when I suggested it on PlanetHate. The jerk who takes the job is going to be much hated for rejecting more than he reads, and should be ready to go to war with contributors. The upside is potential soap opera drama which spills into the forums. Also, article submissions may become even more scarce if articles are being rejected left and right. It won't be appealing for an aspiring contributor to think about wasting time writing an article that has a good chance of never seeing daylight. Having said all that, I'd write more because I dig the challenge.
