Looking for Mods

ambassadorkael

Hey folks!

I'd like to add some new mods to the forums. Unfortunately, I haven't been here long enough yet to correctly judge any of you. So, I'm opening the floor to nominations.

But here's the catch: You cannot nominate yourself. I'd like to hear who you all think is usually there with a clear head, doesn't get into flame wars, and is generally a shining pillar of the community. Post your suggestions in this thread, and I'll be looking into the folks who get nominated.

irene

It says I can't nominate myself..
but it doesn't say I can't advertise myself



Nominate Irene to be mod!
I visit forum everyday, every hour. Ultra active. Super effective.

You will get your concern recorded, studied, and submit to the developers without fail!
Irene understands the way companies work, helps bridges the gap, helps deliver update , reminders, all that kind of thing!

- Knowledge in setting up forum php
- Experience in preparing spreadsheet and data
- Cutest healer in protector's enclave and mangobarazan (some said ice cavern)

Player activity on the forum seems quite sporadic in my experience, with few regulars, so I'm not sure if this is an easy question for many of us to answer either. Most tend to come here to post bugs or feedback and then vanish.

I come here pretty often and I think Rockster would be great, he makes sense and has been really helpful. Plasticbat has been helpful at times as well when he knows what I am talking about.

I nominate Irene since she can't technically nominate herself.

I second the nominations of Rockster and Plasticbat.

I also nominate greywynd

I'm nominating ambassadorkael because with great power comes great multitasking-responsibility
Isn't that how the idiom goes? I'm pretty sure, it is.

ambassadorkael seems busy.
He was like "hey do you wish to see the forum shrink" and there is no update after that.
Now it's like "hey who wants to be a mod" and there is probably no update after too.

If I become a mod who can communicate with developers and get replies, I'll catch him and give everyone follow ups. : P

I would like to nominate plasticbat, and greywynd. PM me on Facebook if you want more info about why, @ambassadorkael#6946 . I'm still pretty inactive here (but willing to make an effort to come back, possibly).

trinity706

Nominating plasticbat and greywynd for sure.

irene

Pick me and I'll keep sending you proposals on how to improve the forum, and things to focus to better maintain the game. I'll prepare google docs, info and send them to you.

Rockster, Plasticbat & Irene seem to be the ones who actually post stuff here quite regularly and respond to the posts other people make. They seem pretty well versed in the issues faced by a majority of other forum posters as well & leave their own feedback how things can be improved. Definitely reccoomend these peeps for the badge of forum moderation!

rjc9000

I would like to nominate jana as a moderator.

They are fairly active posting stuff on the boards and routinely demonstrate their degree of knowledge of how the game works in their posts.

Honestly no offense to anyone on the forums. I don't trust anyone! I don't even trust myself, because I don't want to have the responsibility and even want the power. You can't trust anyone! I'm sorry, but I've been there before with another game and that person abused the forums! Ever heard of Tera Online? It was a show of toxic! It's your authority not the community! @ambassadorkael#6946

jana

I 2nd the emotion on Greywind as well, he was so helpful when I was still trying to figure it out.

I really think Irene would make a good mod, she knows computers and she sure is motivated.

From my understanding, the forum moderators are, and always have been, volunteers. In this case, ambassadorkael is simply getting others to do the volunteering of his candidates.

I’ll second this 🥳

@greywynd I still don't trust anyone, because I've been there when this happened! People abused the forums behind official moderators back. My answer is no one! Those chosen moderators ended up being trolls of the community with the last game I played. They ended up acting like other people, changing posts, deleting posts, and etc. Basically abused the forums and used it as a hacking tool; real moderators/administration didn't even notice. No! Never trust anyone! @ambassadorkael#6946 this is a valid argument.

So, because you have trust issues the forums don't need moderators?

ambassadorkael

All righty, folks, that's some pretty clear nominations, thank you for the help!

I've contacted the folks who received the most nominations.

mwk

@greywynd It's not for you decide, it's for @ambassadorkael#6946 to decide. I made my opinion because that's just me and a concern of mine. Honesty I think the real moderators or administrators need to look everyday. A developer looking at forums takes about 10 mininutes or so. Why you have a problem with my opinion? I appreciate your own concerns for the community, but really it's that easy to tag a developer.

plasticbat

I have just noticed this thread. Thank you for your nomination but I am not good in moderator's role. I like to help fellow players as a player but I am not good to judge others' post (as a moderator).

Isn't ambassadorkael the community manager for like two other games as well? That's a LOT of area for one single person to cover...

The forums could use some fresh moderators whomever they may be. "With great power comes great responsibility" and those that get chosen hopefully won't allow themselves to become corrupted. The community won't know until those mantles are bestowed upon other individuals. Fear/suspicion of negative behavior is no excuse not to move forward.

@trinity706#8838 I just hope the ones picked respects the forums. That is all. Because I've been there.

Personally feel that moderators "can't" engage with others like regular forum users do LOL. Hell what about "hidden" moderators (no visual identifiers)?

I don't have a problem with your opinion. I'm trying to understand it.

This game had issues like this as well before. I was a little surprised to see a post up because I think overall the forum is running fairly smooth without much, if at all, content that needs to get moderated. Not sure the amount of effort you have to invest to maintain and supervise mods is actually greater than doing the work there is yourself.
