New Mods: Yea or Nay

[I3uster]

The question is also who you would add.

Who is even left as good mod candidate, aldeayeah and You? And Siriel since he came up earlier.

[Break]

Well, if you need one, why not restore McJohn's mod powers?

[I3uster]

CV boys are obviously banned from mod consideration and this probably goes double to CV ex-boyfriends.

also leo was the mod mcjon never was

I don't know enough about Aldayeah's character to even begin to comment on him, but I think You would be fine.

And Siriel since he came up earlier.

I'll webcam me hanging myself in protest.

Remember, if you report something, no one will know it was you! It will all be our secret, and we'll appreciate you more for it.

Personally, I support no new mods. Getting more people to report posts and derails will increase the speed at which we can deal with things. As a result of that, people should start to behave a little better, albeit gradually.

[I3uster]

What exactly do you want us to report though since flames can only be seen as such by the guy who gets hit with it, and thus reports by other people are kinda irrelevant.

So more derail reporting?

Ah right, McJohn just feels so much like mod-material that i s9mehow had my brain associate him as one for years

Regarding the CV hard gay sex case, should we not forgive a mistake a good man did with his penis? We men make mistakes with our penises all the time.

[GhostDIGIT]

So a lot of us share the "If they really need another one" opinion that's good to know.....Have I been a good boy?

[I3uster]

Yeah, let's forget these cases. And make me admin.

[Break]

Sorry Bluster, but an Austrian in a position of power is a risk i want to avoid at all costs.

[Marmadillo]

Well if the mods feel that they have too much workload then that's that. Doesn't matter how many mods there are, but what they do or don't do.

There's stuff that's blatant enough baiting or flaming that anyone can see it. The relationships of people to each other on the board are generally pretty well known, and it won't always be that hard to work it out. We can (and, generally, will) consult the affected party too, if a third user sends in the report.
There's also the fact that if something creates a sufficiently awful forum atmosphere, we'll work on that whether it was taken badly or not. Reports help us work out how nasty something's perceived to be.

I don't like people having that opinion and voting based on it. Like I said, this is about the user experience. We know our workloads and can make our own judgements on that.

[I3uster]

The user experience is more affected by who the mods are than by how many.

Not to be mean or anything but if you demodded Hymn and Artee over night nobody would notice, the same can't be said about IRUn or Five.

[Tobias]

Yeah, seika is right. See, reports help us out a lot because it helps us gain some perspective we lack on how things are intended and/or perceived. In other cases, sometimes things need to be talked over. As a random example, the other day mew got annoyed because I used the phrase "derp speaker". I have been saying that for like 5 years, and I had no idea it might be offensive.

Now, we talked it over and solved the problem, but I am still going to stop saying it anyway to prevent a similar problem in the future. Reports are the same, a lot of time problems continue just because the mod team has absolutely no idea something is a problem

[Seika]

Who the mods might be is in this thread's remit to talk about too. We have candidates, but we wouldn't turn down more to choose from.

[Petrikow]

wtf

[I3uster]

I guess I'll elaborate on my suggestions then:

aldeayeah seems to behave like a grown-up person who doesn't get mad at forum shit anymore, in general a very civil guy. Main problem being that he's kinda inactive but he does come on often enough and posts. Probably a good mediator, not so much FORUM PATROL

You is active on pretty much all high-traffic boards and like aldeayeah never seems to get baited by anything. You never see (presumably her, basing this on a random guess, i have no idea) her flaming anybody either. Cool head, high activity, pretty much all you need.

[Tobias]

wtf

what wtf?

[GhostDIGIT]

Is Thedoctor by any means a candidate?

- - - Updated - - -

what wtf?

I think he means he's surprised that such a thing occurred.

[Petrikow]

what wtf?

Our civilization has come a long way for "derp speaker" to already be considered offensive.

In fact that entire row just looks like some kind of sick Tobias joke, since it wasn't very funny and clearly couldn't be serious?
