Not going to happen.

I would have to agree with you there. LW would make a great mod.

[DudeOnline]

Yes, i'd much rather him.

have faith young Padawan.

[Waser Lave]

have faith young Padawan.

I told them ages ago that I didn't want to be mod last time they asked and I stand by it, so don't have faith.

[Waser Lave]

I'll reserve judgement until the new mods actually have to do stuff.

I swear pages 4 and 5 just confused me more than any other topic in all of Codex.


That is all.

[Waser Lave]

Your a better man then me laser. I can't help but look to the past for refrence of behavior.

That's one benefit of having a rubbish memory. Unless somebody really pisses me off, I'm likely to just forget what they did months ago.

I don't even remember Dudeonline being a mod before. xD

i think it was like 3-4 years ago..so really it's as valid as jake's "i started this site!!!!!!"

[DudeOnline]

actually it was 2 years ago. and, i'll let you be the judge of the validity.

[Waser Lave]

My main concern is not about the quality of the new mods, but why we're actually promoting people when we're at our lowest ever activity levels (or at least the lowest since 2004).

It's not like there's too much work to do for our current mods/supermods at the moment.

i did, in the post you quoted

[Gen]

I still think that LW would be a good mod

[DudeOnline]

I'm sure that the current mods will not add to the staff pool, but replace the mods that will be demoted. atleast thats my theory. New mods, new life, more activity.

Why I don't think that DO will become a mod ?

Why would people getting promoted = more activity? I don't see the link.

Well you have your opinion. everyone does, and it does have some validity. Just because someone was a mod in the past, doesnt mean that they will make a good mod in the future.

Arguably it is a large number but as Hawk has said there have been periods of certain mods not being on all the time and some activities allowed to go on. This should allow for many mods to be on hopefully at all hours so incidences like those in the past do not happen I wish this wasn't the case but at least some members feel it is necessary and obviously the admins do.

My view as that some of the current mods have grown stagnant in their position, and they dont see that one of their modly duties is to try to bring some activity to the boards.

So if we promote a thousand people we'll be almost certain that there's going to be at least 1 person online to deal with any problems.

I personally would think that that's more of a case for rethinking what happens when posts are reported rather than promoting new people (when it's not really necessary). Perhaps we could have a post unapproved if it receives X reports (by legitimate members) so it turns invisible thus negating the initial need for moderator assistance? That way, when a staff members gets to it they can either decide to leave it invisible, clean it up or just make it visible again.

You didn't answer why demoting those people and promoting new people would necessarily bring more activity. If people start to post more just because they've been promoted, then perhaps those aren't the best people to have been promoted in the first place.

If you guys make it any more obvious of who is going to be promoted to the Moderator position, I will be closing this topic.

I've invisied most of the posts giving hints or whatever. It has to stop now.

[DudeOnline]

but then if the Invisied post warrants a warn, and noone is there to give it, then the behavior goes unnoticed

My post above yours is everyone's verbal warning. If you want me to start handing out warnings, I will gladly do so. Starting off with a bunch of new Moderators that are already leaking is not a good thing now, is it?

[Waser Lave]

It would be dealt with when a member of staff comes online like I already said. The reports would stay on the moderator report centre, but the problem will have been dealt with without the need for staff to physically invisible the post.
