I keep thinking Forzare is a mod

    Because he's my cheap clone, most likely.

    Or maybe just because of his rationality and manner of advisement.

    You can change. You can.
    Because Forzare is mod material

    And the only reason he isn't a mod yet, especially now that there's a vacant is...

    I find myself thinking that sometimes, too.

    The forum's small enough that we're probably fine with . . . well, even if it was just me and INUH, it would probably work, that's how small we are. It would be weird if (almost literally) half the forum had mod powers.

    He'd definitely be my pick for a new one, though.

    Why does no one ever see me as moddy?

    It must be my delightful irreverence.

    But, everyone knows all the mods aren't really mods. Just complex AI programmed by Unknown_Entity. Even the ones that ragequit and get banned. It's all according to plan.

    ^^^To be honest, I do think we need more assertive mods. You've demonstrated difficulty with making decisions in the past.

    Juan has a good point.

    But he is forgetting that only 10% of the members here aren't AI.

    Also, we might be small, but we deal with far more drama than most sites deal with.

    Which is slightly commendable, but also not at the same time.

    If we did want to have someone become a mod, it seems to me that we should have that happen while the drama is low and tempers are cool.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    Oh definetly. I don't want a mod now, but I'm saying that the idea that we're small, therefore we need less mods falls down when you realize that the current situation is that we have an average of HOLY FUCK DRAMATIZ every few weeks

    'To be honest, I do think we need more assertive mods."

    I feel like I've been getting better about asserting myself, for what it's worth. Maybe it's just me. But I feel like it's tough to be too assertive when we're a team of moderators.

    ^ More like every three days. Which still baffles me, of course. But it would take very little to end that if we really wanted to (right now it's a matter of finalizing opinions, I guess). And besides, more mods means more opinions to gather, which means longer deliberation times. I feel like I've been acting much more authoritatively (or at least, I've been much more active) without Cygan around, and with Ian and ninjaclown posting less frequently.

    I see we made it one post before Everest claimed that I was his clone.

    One. Post.

    'Sides, we all know that he's my clone.

    Really though, I'm kind of flattered.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    This is the closest you'll get to be an actual mod.

    And respected, too.

    Man, I remember when GMH thought I was mod material.

    And I'd've gotten away with it, were it not for Cygan asking me earlier and me declining >_<

    "I see we made it one post before Everest claimed that I was his clone.

    I suppose I have been running that joke into the ground. My apologies.

    I will say I'm more pleased with how the current mod team has been handling things than I ever recall being in the past.

    I still think I disagree with the practice of censoring threads with drama, but that's been around for a long time.
  • All NinesAll Nines

    ^ Honestly, me too (well, the first part; I see no reason why drama can't be kept in PMs/done away with). It's way less restricting having fewer mods around.

    Would it be too much to have us try to do a fun little "x days without drama!" Type thing? :ppp
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    Honestly, I'd say that you guys are doing this wrongly:

    For starters, you're working under the assumption that a moderating team is like a council when it should be like a bunch of policemen. They should be able to act on things immediately. Consensus should be reached post-punishment on whether reversal should be done. 

    Kinda like how you put a criminal in prison till trial. Or on parole, depending on the case, as it may

    "Kinda like how you put a criminal in prison till trial."

    I think that's a terrible practice, personally. Maybe not the rest of it (though that, too, is getting better), but the whole "well, you're innocent until proven guilty, but we'll keep you in prison anyway" bit. I only pulled this on Shichibukai today because I figured the unanimous consensus would be "we don't want him back".

    ^ Well, that's precisely why I correctly guessed that no one would want him back.

    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!

    Yeah, but basing your decisions on popular opinion is generally a bad idea that allows problematic people to continue being problematic.

    -shrug-

    If I were offered the position, I would accept, but I'm not upset that I'm not one at all.

    Re: Clones: Nah, I honestly find it kind of amusing.

    Re: Ban first, ask questions later: I think that's probably the best policy for a site so drama-laden as this. If someone's being really stupid/dickish/whatever, one mod should be able to bring down the hammer without waiting for the committee to gather.
