New forum moderation team

[duffman]

He's saying that a administrator already has enough to do such as concentrating on RL and IG problems, instead of faffing about on the forums with trolls and doing more work.

Thanks

When it's stretched out across the different times, it would only be a small amount of moderators online at a given time.

But that doesn't matter, forum moderators don't have to be there at the time of incident. They can move in after the fact within the day and deal with it then.

We may not need a new team, but we need the forum moderators to be updated.

For instance, SA:MP Ideas still has tiderman as one of its moderators, even though he left Argonath half a year ago.

Exactly why I think Board Profiles should be used to handle this. Board Moderators are so easily outdated, and due to the way our community hires people to moderate boards, it's useless for us to use this older method.

Hi Fellas,

Write down a list of ideas or changes that you think would be appropriate. This way we may get some ideas put forward.

Board Profiles for appropriate ranks for moderating boards instead of using "Board Moderators" so the access to moderation rights is given on specific boards based by rank instead of user account, so that removal or addition of a rank to a user automatically grants or removes the rights to moderate on those boards to prevent the list from becoming outdated.

I can provide examples from ARFD forums, as needed.

Simply hire new Moderators to take care of each section..

I will provide an example tomorrow.

Then we get the same, outdated list we've always had, and as people become active and go inactive, we get the same, exact issues. Our current methods aren't exactly the most efficient.

Hire new forum mods. Fire the inactive ones.

That exact same statements applies to the servers too.

Hire only people who are active.

The demand for new forum moderators isn't high enough, therefore new ones aren't being added. We already explained that. It doesn't really matter if someone like Tiderman is inactive because he, or any new forum moderator wouldn't have anything to do at this time anyway. Now it's pretty much just for show, really.

Not everyone does it for show.
Also some moderators of today don't know how to handle in several situations.

Agreed.

Besides, why would you only keep their names for show, even if you feel it's "not needed" to have them? That makes no sense, and it makes those with rights feel as if someone is already able to deal with the reports in that section, so they ignore them. If you really want to make Moderator presence known, do what Crook said two posts back and fire the inactive ones and hire new ones to replace them so that when users break the rules, they are caught and become aware that someone is watching. Right now most people think there are very few people to catch stuff happen.

Then what is the whole point in people like tiderman keeping their Forum Moderator status when we have other individuals in this community who can fill in their roles well, or even better than the previous ones?

Um go and check Speakerbox. Nobody is following the Speakerbox rules because I resigned from moderating it and nobody bothers to learn the rules and enforce them.
New forum mods are needed.
To the normal players, unfortunately that means the mods will be sourced from the current admin team and not from the general public. This is how it's happened twice in the past and I can only assume it will happen that way in the future, so don't get your hopes up about getting into any moderator positions.
