First, the reason of writing:
Because I became a moderator on Pixeltendo. And because SFDT members are retards.
Now, an introduction.
Mods are an example for their board. If a moderator disbehaves others may follow them. That's how mods are assigned.
But the choice also depends on the site's behaviour. For example, if you are very strict in friendly forums, you will be demonised. But the thing is, most people also see a downside on mods who don't act strict in forums where everybody practically is each others friend.
So, the subject:
Moderators should act with a strong ruling system, even on forums where people act friendly towards each other.
Now, for the first time, I will give you my opinion. I agree with this, because when moderators are being loose the forum can eventually become an anarchy.
-
I agree with Gary. I think the only moderators ( to my knowledge) GhostClown, and Red Giant are very good ones. The rest? I have not seen them in quite a while! But Moderators should act fair to the forums and share their "Power" Equally.
-
Some of our mods aren't active anymore at all and it would suprise me if they'd come back.
But Red and Ghostclown aren't the only good ones.
What about Carmen, FFL, SMB (But I havn't seen him in awhile either.) and charaman (But I'm not sure when I saw him last time)?
Those are good ones too. Aren't they?
I think all active mods act's perfectly, nothing's wrong with them.
But Grandagora did come back awhile ago though.

*Coughs up donut*. I got in his top two!
Erherm.
From what I've seen, mods rarely behave badly.
What do you mean by a strong ruling system? We already have rules that anyone can read, and whenever someone does break the rules, regular members and mods alike jump in to inform them.
-
You need friendly and nasty mods. Ghostclown instantly demands respect and Red has more of a laugh. Carmen is more relaxed so we have a nice mixture of brilliant mods.
Even on really stupid threads they wait a while for other's responses before locking it, while a thread never gets too out of hand without them stepping in.
-
I agree with all of this, but why bring it up now, Gary? Our mod situation has been fairly stable for the past while.
-
Because I needed a subject to debate on, and since SFDT members are highly unintelligent, I thought, why not bring the topic here?
And with a strong ruling system I mean being hard, but justifull. Like, when a flamewar starts, a mod doesn't say "I hope that this doesn't end with a flame war" but start with strong measurements, like saying "if this continue I'll have to warn somebody" or something like that. Or, like on Pixeltendo, there is a warning system. If anyone disbehaves, he / she gets a warning, even if the action of that one wasn't strong.

why are you talking about TFDHHJ-or something like that-members?
what actually does GHFFKHDM-orsomething like that- mean?
-
SFDT
Stupid Former Dumbasses Team.
And the mods are fine. We have enough, there good and they know the rules. And for letting ppl to follow the rules we don't even need mods as anyone says something when it goes wrong.

Dude, FOUR LETTERS. It's just like, not knowing how to write the abrevation of Chain of Memories.
And SFDT means Stick Figure Death Theatre.
-
At least this site follows the rules of a debate.
-
Mods should rule with a strict enforcement of the rules, but there's not much need for that on charas. I dont like the current mods, or admins for that matter. (cept GC and maybe Kijuki... no offence, except towards Darkfox)

As you know Gary, my actions spoke for themselves.
And I agree, good moderators like RedGiant and GC are strict and do have attitude.

Wow, at least you didn't edit or delete my post because it made you look bad.

It didn't make me look bad, because your just trying to be a jerk to me... which ain't working.
Anyways, I believe mods should have strictness, but yes, also a gentle touch. And members should not be all evil and gloomy because that becomes an influence on the rest of the forum, kinda like a pleague.
-
whoa whoa whoa, let's all stop bein (as Mr Mister would say) hostile cockboxes! back on task damnit!
-
Asakura... -_-"
Anyway, whatever the mods are do right now is working. A friendly mod is a happy community.
-
Red giant has attitude? and I'm layed back?I'd think people would think the reverse. lol....hmmm I was known more for my hardness on topic kicking and spam. Now I've been around making sure things stay un flame-like. I'm on here quite often lol almost everyday...so I'm around guys.
Mods have been doing a good job from what I've seen, the forums pretty steady without alota mishaps. I think everyone has been doing a great job. Especially Kijuki ^_- (exellent dude, you rock!) except for sai'kar and his absence, I think we all get an a++.
I'd like to consider myself a good mod. I keep things relativly clean, I'm not afriad to make descions and I'm pretty striaght fwd. I just feel not alota ppl know me as well as GC or Red or DF. Or ppl are just scared of me :p lol anyways
Thats just like you gary to get bored and try to get something going lol, this seems pretty cool right now. I'm happy with this place right now, thats rare I know. *does happy dingo dance*
-
Happy suits you Carmen ^_^
-
The way I do things in ROTC, no one would want me to be a mod.
-
The mods here are fine.
Although I'm a fairly new member, I only 'know' 3 mods here: GhostClown, RedGiant and Carmen.
This community is pretty relaxed and rule abiding, so that reflects on the way the Mods can act and have probably acted in the past.
2 cents well spent. ;)
-
well said Presidente. I totally agree. And I'm glad our newer members are great ones ^_^ seems mods and members have been getting along alot too
-
The good thing about people not being mods is that they can't pester others by editing their posts with useless text.
Really, I got banned once because somebody did that.
-
people who do that dont deserve to be mods.
our mods would never do that
(OUR mods XD!)

If you didn't got unbanned after that then the admins are retards. There is something like log, where moderators get logged.

Well, The reason I havent been mod for a while now is that, although i feeel i have to be strict as a mod, I really do not want to. i want to be friendly and i kno taht thats not possible to stay both, so i made a choice to no longer be a mod.
-
A mod also has to be a good judge of cimcumstances.
They need to be able to tell the difference between their members are just having some fun, and when they need to step in and get the topic back on track or *gasp* lock it if its out of control.
I think the mods here have got it pretty much sorted out. I havn't met a mod/admin here yet who is dislikable or unfriendly.
