I will be honest, Ive pondered giving, to most everyone of those pointed out , contributor status before, sometimes being pulled back by people pointing out some propensity to get into troubles and fights. But I think some of them really deserve it.Ssanttu( as much as i am amused by his postings) doesnt really post on the releases areas.
gill goes through a lot of the forum, probably a much greater percentage than 90% of the forumorochi gill for contributor

im so glad were finally having this discussion about gill, ive been pondering about what people would say for a while now rofl.

Like, seeing a thread going to hell, and before it escalates into a bigger mess, locking it or moving it to the staff section or something instead of waiting for a mod to do something about it. Just a rough idea really, since the reports were mentioned more than creation stuff.
Which is why I mentioned less powers - would get to apply some damage control, but with less options, the actual mods could control any eventual damage he might do better, which is why I mentioned stuff like no banning or deleting options.

PS: I've always kind of wondered why Shapeshifter isn't a contributor..
the fact that he reports everything gives me the impression that he'd do way too many things. crazy with power if you will
Laxxe23 said, October 27, 2009, 11:38:07 pmLoona no offense, but just because you needed "damage control", doesnt mean orochi would. I meant damage control in the sense of containing flamefests and whatnot in threads - as for the kind of damage control you seem to refer to, when did I ever ban anyone or did something particularly hard to revert?...

-1 to Gill for contributor. In my opinion his feedback is largely useless often to the point of it just seeming to be a "post count +1" type of a thing. +1 to Gill for moderator. Just think how much cleaner the report section would be if he just took care of it all himself. I think the "what if he messes up" scenario isn't a good enough reason to not give him a shot at it. It's not like he couldn't be kept an eye on for a little bit. He seems to care enough about the Guild to moderate it.
