Title: Critique this forum - or splice it in half and cause total yabb chaos or sth
Post by: on Thu 14/10/2004 00:18:31
This forum is good, it barely needs moderation, but even so I barely have any time to moderate this forum on a daily basis. Who would you like to see moderating this forum on a daily basis? You have a hundred words, and as many pictures as you wish... I'll have a chat0rs with CJ if there seems to be a popular person for the job.Ã,  8)

I dont see a need for a daily mod. You said it yourself, this forum is pretty good. I think Andail is sufficient.

Yep, too true Evil - I wish Andail was back, because his presence made me the back-up.

In all honesty, this thread is the most off topic thread in a long while*. Most people that are common posters here know how to deal with off thread topics and new commers.

*Edit: Heh, well maybe not, but even still, there isn't much of a problem. :p

I don't really think a daily moderator would be needed. maybe when we reach 3000 members it might be a bigger deal. about who... Someone who's fair and sees things from different points of view, someone who can help newbies, because every newbie is a human being believe it or not.

Anyone who says that they want to be moderator is exactly the type of person who shouldn't be moderator. You want someone who will to the job reluctantly but dilligently.

/me  looks disinterested but reliable  ;)

i think i could be a moderator as i check the forums daily, especially these ones, but i dopnt think ive been around long enough to get enough people to listen to what i say.
i think someone like privateer pdding would be a good choice as he's often here and is always fair.

where did andail go??? :'(

anyways,
a daily mod, well, it can be handy I guess :)
I would be a lousy moderator anyhoo, but I thinky Farl, Darty or PP would do a great job!

Um, you did mean Darth instead of Darty, right? Because, uh, I don't think I'd be that great of a moderator here.

But yeah, I agree with Evil; Andail is more than enough for this forum.

Oh, I didn't pay much attention, so right until now, I though Andail WAS the moderator here... well anyway, whatever

I would definitely vote for Andail or Darth.

Just a n00b's opinion

Oh, hold on; just because I went global moderator, doesn't mean the Critics lounge isn't still my pet forum :)
The last couple of weeks I've been quite busy, since I've both studies and work to attend to, but I check in on regular basis and do some cleaning and give some c&c.

And believe me, this forum do demand a lot of moderation, at least in periods. A good local moderator is always important.
A CL moderator also needs to be able to give plenty of c&c, and in all honesty, I'm not sure Mods did a sufficient job in that particular area :) No offense, Modsy, but I think you can agree with me there!

SSH is also right in a way; moderator-ships are usually handed out by way of recommendation, and not by self-proclamation.

An idea that just struck was that in terms of egality, wouldn't it be nifty with a female moderator? They have become quite plenty after all, those crazy gals.

Well, either way, I'm gonna go with whichever decision Mods takes on this one.

Pesty can make enough good crits to be the moderator, IMO... Dart is cool too, but I have the impression that she visits less the forums, but I may be wrong.  :)

Well.. I haven't been here enough time to really recognize any members, but women are always hard to find in this kind of 'gaming' forums. I'd cast my vote for a female moderator too.

I'm not entirely sure if we should just focus on choosing a female mod.  I'm ... er ... very 'lovey' toward females, of course.  But, I think that it's important to think of any possible moderators, rather than choose only from the female ones, simply because of their gender.

In brief, let's just choose a mod that would do the best job.  If it happens to be female, great!

....Besides, the normal Members get to choose or vote, from what I understand.  Specific suggestions may help the Upper Folk to choose, though.

Well of course.

It's not enough that the moderator is woman, but she must also be capable of being a mod. That's what I ment   ;) But I also said that I don't know all the active members here, so it 'could' be that she is capable of that all.

Well, you're partially right; I do visit these forums daily, but I almost never log in unless I make a post. However, I visit #AGS quite frequently.

But anyway, even though it would be cool to have a female moderator, the position should go towards whoever's best in moderating. I could moderate, I guess, but there are tons of other people who could better fit this position. So, basically what Tiki and Albino said.

I vote Loominous. He's on quite often and knows, quite possibly, the most about art. I dont see what gender has to do with it. For all we know, half of the women here could be men.

Post by: Nacho on Fri 15/10/2004 23:44:36
Mmmm.... Loomie is one of the best artists here, and definitelly one of the members who put more effort on improving our art...but I don't know how would he be as a moderator, as he doesn't like to write too much. :) I personally see him more than an action man, than a referee.

Hope it makes sense.  ;)

I didn't say he was Shakespear, he just knows what he's talking about. :)

Maybe him being a mod would inspire him to post more?
