Forum moderators!

[KingFu]

Guys, we really need forum moderators. As the forums are getting more and more members, the more and more bad apples there are. The devs are getting busier and busier, and I really believe we need forum moderators. People that are trustworthy on forums, and are on a lot, and know right from wrong.

The moderators should have capabilities to lock forums, delete other peoples posts, and ban members. If a moderator bans a member that wasn't appropriate, they will be stripped of their powers. I think we really need this, and we could start off with like 3 or 5 moderators, and grow from there.

Any feedback? Thanks!

Uea mystic i agree. The devs seem to be on hiatus right now tho, im sure theyll sort this mess out and Ban his IP

[KingFu]

He said, he'll just change his IP, I know it's Laquint, Laquint said he'd just change his IP too, it must be him.

[Necrobane]

Yeah it sounded just like him.

[KingFu]

It must be him, but I really think we need forum moderators. I emailed this to spacetime just in case, I also report Laquint shortly before. I just think he's pathetic to have nothing better to do then ruin the forums. I wish he was just all together.

Just asked asommers to input a system that alows people who made a thread the power to remove a post from there thread but must say a reason why you've removed a post also. Just my idea

[jonboy]

Lone, that system would be open to abuse, in 1 mins I've thought of at least three ways to abuse such a system if I was a bad person.

There is only one person I can think of with the integrity to be given moderator status and that would be Royce.

I too agree, forum moderators are so needed. Many threads also go off-topic very quickly and often are riddled with chat that really has no place in many situations especially as it often detracts from the main topic of conversation. We also need to apply some forum rules to decide what is acceptable or not.

Creation of forum moderators is something that can be done quite simply as I know that vBulletin allows you to have different levels of moderators. So for example, someone can have the ability to lock posts but not delete, etc.

Seconded. 10 chars.

[Raxie]

i don't think laquint would go this far...

[icantgetkills]

Who is laquient ?.. Please explain

[KingFu]

Trust me, the biggest troll this place has seen.

I agree Royce would be perfect, but you'd need more than one. Royce can't be on all the time, and catch every post, so you'd need like 3 or 5 for now.

[jonboy]

Maybe one with a delete post, ban powers and 3-4 subs with lock thread powers

[KingFu]

I was thinking 2 with ban, lock, delete, and edit powers, and the other 3 with delete, and lock powers.

[jonboy]

Lock power is enough that allows them to stop something and leave evidence for those with delete, edu, ban powers to investigate.

Need someone in Europe on to moderate while the devs and Americans are sleeping. Which is what happened this morning with Ao3 being online..
I've been an officer and forum moderator for a much bigger MMO. I wouldn't want to now, just saying that anyone who is responsible and has some sense could do it.

I also think Royce should be a moderator.

[KingFu]

I'm in America, and I was awake lol

[Hotndots]

I was too at that time when I lived in the states, but a lot of people aren't

[Raxie]

i think this needs to be decided on the 'posts per day' to see which players come on the forums a lot. although, this could be wrong as some members could be on more than the people with a high 'posts per day' but just don't post.
however, i think we need one in each continent so every 'mod' is on at every time.
