This might just come out of the blue, but if no one is willing to watch over Your releases section I would gladly moderate it as well.
I see we are back at the discussion "bunch of gmods" vs "localized moderators".. we decided for bunch-a-gmods for reasons, let's stick to that model.If you feel the Your Releases section is undermoderated, feel free to take care of it.
Can someone remind me why Cybaster was removed from his GM position?Like many other old timers (Cybaster, Byakko, KFM?, [E]) most of the people who has been staff knows how to behave well and can be released into the forums as regular users. I would like to propose people like myself stripped from the title and giving the opportunity to new blood to take on the responsibility. It would be fun I think.I'm not asking to be removed, I'm thinking a new approach wouldn't hurt. Even someone like, say, POTS or Cyanide would do better by being example to other users without necessarily having to be staff, and doing away the weight of the responsibility (if there's such). What's exactly our approach for Staff positions here? Trustworthy people, or people with enough time to be around? I may have lost clear perception of this.
I'd be up for that, just a matter of finding the right new people. Staff could indeed use more fresh people, like Iced, who are willing to go to a user and spell it all out for them everytime they mess up... I must confess I rarely do that nowadays (lol "confess", should be pretty apparent).If nothing else it'd be fun just like you said.Cybaster comment ommitted to protect the guilty.
it's hard to find new people that would fit the bill, but we've made "new" people moderators recently, like kod, invictus, and shoon (well,). do you have anyone in mind?P.o.t.S. said, July 23, 2008, 06:50:58 pmCybaster comment ommitted to protect the guilty. lmbo
[Griffon Mask] said, July 23, 2008, 06:24:19 pmCan someone remind me why Cybaster was removed from his GM position?Well we removed everyone except I think Val and PotS and intended to bring almost nobody at all "back" at first, then over time... just look around you now! XDWe all agreed not to bring Cybaster into the conspiracy, we went through who would be the new staff for several days and nobody was against not bringing him in. Sometimes he overshoots.And... err we had all agreed. Do we still, guys? Otherwise I don't see anything standing in the way cuz I also can't remember any real specific reasons that would still matter today.QuoteWhat's exactly our approach for Staff positions here? Trustworthy people, or people with enough time to be around? I may have lost clear perception of this.Both or the first. Enough time alone at least doesn't cut it. Um yeah that's obvious. I just don't feel like elaborating on the general approach now. o_~"I support trying new ways and people and like that initiative; but I also think, walt, you dinosaurs could keep your current positions while you're still around. Otherwise we'd need a lot of new people and many more workable changes than I'd know how to make.
Sepp asked me to post this short note :"Cybaster has spoken and the situation is already cleared (Cybaster is happy with things and wants more new people like Walt said instead)"Sepp will give details later.
Cybaster still "feels" new to me.I remember after being gone from here for about 9 months and seeing him as a GMod upon my return... I was like... who the heck is that guy? I got really used to all the same people for so long in the community. Now it seems there are a LOT more efficient people with "I want to be vocal" attitudes. Lots of the members years back seemed to try and stay under the radar. Maybe it just feels this way to me now because I don't really go to mugen sites now or download mugen content so I don't see all the new talent till it just springs up. Agh, conflicted with my 2 hobbies....
Rajaboy or laquak could be good choices as local moderators once their "speech" patterns clear up( you know what I mean, the overuse of jokes and small obsessions that are naturally there on newer users), like, in a few months time. Claws would be a pretty good mod too, he is clean and direct, Oz could also be good, Shamrock seems okay as well.Had hjk kept from trying to troll people up every now and then, he could have been a contender.

Quote this in the revelant topic, if you want.Just to let you know, I'm currently not particularly interested in becoming moderator (or GM, whatever) again. Sure, I spend a lot of time on the forum and enjoy it, and I somehow moderate a little from time to time, but I think it's time to let some others do the job (Iced, K.O.D, Invictus, etc.).I also realised that being a sort of "dinosaur" made me react differently to some stuff, compared to when I was a newly promoted GM. I used to have the very smooth and nice approach towards newbies or ignorant people... It's not the case anymore. Not a good thing for a moderator I guess.Anyway, I may want to become moderator again in some time (dunno when, obviously), feel free to contact me if you're in need of one. During the main time, though, I'm happy with my situation. See you.
If you want opinions : Robert The Small, Claws, Tetsuo9999, Anjel.Also, since Tony 3rd is a GMod, you could make Ishida-Uryuu moderator of the Projects section since he'd be willing.
Robert The Small: maybeClaws: yeahTetsuo9999: reports way too many things, wouldn't trust his judgementAnjel: ehhhhhhhhQuoteyou could make Ishida-Uryuu moderator of the Projects section since he'd be willing.i don't think projects needs a local moderator as it isEdward the Great: has problems reading basic things and i just don't like his posting okay
Titiln & the Great Titiln said, July 28, 2008, 06:25:08 pmEdward the Great: has problems reading basic things and i just don't like his posting okayHey I don't like yours and you're here If I'm to leave at some point and I could appoint someone to keep it, it'd be him.I don't know if he'd be interested though.
I just don't care much for Robert The Small or Tetsuo9999's attitudes.I don't know who Claws is.Anjel, Ishida-Uryuu, and Edward I think may do well.DMK may be a good person to try as a moderator as well.
i've decided to make dmk and shamrock moderators. they're new blood and know when to behave.anyone against this
