    RE: Re: We need more mods

    We've had three admins and a mod post in this topic after this thread was made.

    So why didn't *any* of you lock it?
    I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

      RE: Re: We need more mods

      What for?... It's meaningless dribble that doesn't really have any negative feedback.. the people in that forum aren't bashing, and it's actually being kept on topic... There is no reason for why it should be locked, other than the fact that someone with power might not like it..


      *EDIT* In responds you Kilgamayans below post...
      It's hamless fun, and if people actually thought that was a "find the differences" picture, then they deserved a little scare.. all and all it's good fun that nobody is complaining about, and it would be stupid to lock it just on the grounds of it's minor trolling..

        Well, I'd personally lock it on the grounds of trolling given the link.
        I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul.

          RE: Re: We need more mods

          oh, and this topic was locked briefly...then unlocked...but i'm still wondering what exactly the point of it was...mainly just a bunch of people volunteering...and seems like it should be something discussed solely by the staff...not publicly...but meh...

            RE: Re: We need more mods

            Concerning the additional moderators - I believe that an addition of five would be more than enough to ensure quality moderation. I'd consider a minimum of three additions to cover for Nestle and other "inactive" moderators as were mentioned previously in this thread.

            Concerning the removal of certain moderators - I still hold up the theory that removing a moderator / admin should occur if either that person requests his de-moderation or if the full Site Administrator (in this case, Synthlight) says to do so. Obviously Synth would never agree to removing a moderator unless they've done something particularly against the rules so much that removing their moderator status is the only thing to do.

            Concerning the chat - I believe the only thing to do for the regulars would be to tell them all to visit the Eggheads chat we have set up. Most of the newbies won't know where that is and so all us cool people can chat amongst ourselves. The FFR Chat as it is is simply a breeding ground for the newbies to annoy the regulars. Though, I admit it is a really cool feature with the webcam and microphone capabilites that it has over IRC, it's just too crowded with "ASL" kiddies.

            That sums all of that up nicely.

              In the future, topics like this should be discussed strictly in the staff forum. When there is an agreement that more mods are needed and the staff has decided on a list of people, that list should then either be voted on by mods/admins or put up for public vote. The process is important because posts like this really serve no purpose other than igniting flame wars between users.

              All staff discussion about staff status should remain in the staff forum.

              Cheers,

              Synthlight

                I'm honored, I really am. I can't say I disagree with you Arch0wl.. About adding more mods. Some days the boards are just filled with jackasses and such.
                About me being on the list... I wouldn't really say anybody thinks I'm funny in my current state so me changing would be no problem... There have been days where I was actually nice and tried to rational.. hah.

                  What?

                  Whatever...your thoughts of who should and shouldn't be modded are almost completely backwards...

                    Personally I think Kenya, Omega, tnyhwk person, and Boriz would do a good job. I don't know about the other ones.

                    Taking away the chat would be a bad thing. I know you like going in there sometimes, but a lot of members don't come to the forums and just like going to the chat. I, for one, like going into the chat better than here. It's a lot more fun. This site would be ruined if it was just strictly a forum/game site. The chat makes it different and more fun, you shouldn't criticize it for things that could be easily fixed.

                      I don't think most of the people on that list would do a great job. I agree with Synth that this shouldnt have been posted out here =/....and I think other people who are not on that list would be great mod. I think that list is not very good =/

                      IF YOU ARE THE BOMB YOU WILL CLICK THIS and if you dont, you suck.

                        the site would be ruined if it was just a forum/game site??? uhhh...wasn't chat just implemented 6 months to a year ago?? the game was still gaining TONS of popularity, and i know of many people who would prefer that the chat not be there...so i think it's silly to say the site would be ruined...but to each be his/her own

                            Now that sounds more real. I don't know why I was mentioned at all. I'm hardly even here anymore.

                            However, if I was modded (I can almost guarantee this won't happen) I would come by more often. And, unless Synthlight himself told me not to, I'd delete stupid posts...a lot. Every "IN BEFORE LOCK" type post would be killed immediately, and if anybody had a problem with it they could PM/AIM me. I have plenty of time to argue with stupid people.

                            Oh, and don't take away the chat. For some people, that's the only reason they come here. It would make people angry, and the reasons for not having it aren't that great.
                            So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

                            In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

                            So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
                            And I write the blog for their website.

                            Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O
