Would people want more Forum mods?

edited June 2012 in General Discussion
Since Kritty has left us.. I feel like maybe we need around 2 or 3 more moderators.
Frankie was doing the right thing when opening people to volunteer to become mods last year, I don't see why he couldn't do it again.

Who would have like to get a mod place, but didn't the last time? Be honest :)
I would had gladly volunteered, but at the time it was a bit hard irl.

I have moderated two other forums in my early teens , and am living in the UK (so I am in a different timezone, good for mods who are asleep in the other side of the world). I am always an active member, looking around to see whats happening mostly on the GD, archer, Dreamweaver , fanatics, and Screenshots forums. I can access the forums through my Android when i'm away from the PC. I'm generally an extreamly active forumer b:cute

(if only it was the same case ingame. memory stick! yu no work? b:shutup)

Lets see what happens here then.. probably trolls

    I applied about half a year ago, never got a response.

    This place isn't worth it anymore, though.

    Only case i would've agreed with that again would be if the new mods will not be allowed to moderate on their server's forum, to not have anymore biased mods ijs.

    I wouldn't mind not modding DW, I've never been biased b:cute I'm here in this game because of the awesome people I've met, the graphics,and the customisation ang the fash (lol). You'd be surprised that even if the game seems to be dieing, there is still a load of players IG who are really nice.

    Hm, the mods we have arent always able to keep an eye on things here, so a few more wouldnt be a bad thing.
    ...
    Then again I wont deny that I do enjoy watching a good derail here and there.

    I nominate some non troll who is actually active in this game still. (less then 20% of the forum goers it seems)

    This.


    Also, I agree we need more mods. Krisnda, Shelly, and the Panda aren't as active as they used to be and Kritty left. There should be someone to give those three a hand.

    I'd like to see a new mod around. Without Kritty, barely anyone is active anymore :/

    Not suited for that myself though. I'd trust myself with being a fair mod but with my job I spent the biggest part of the day away from the computer now... meh. b:surrender

    No care, PWE staff and PWI community managers, and GMs and of course most mods do not really care about the player base on the forums, hell, even I don't care about the base. More mods are just pointless because they deal with (or supposed to?) threads and have no power to deal with the game itself.
    I, II and III spark is the most cheesiest skill in PWI and it should be removed or massively nerfed.

    Hence , Xainou, why I offer to become a moderator. I would promise to be as active as I can, as fair as I can, and stay the same, random person I am while im at it :)

    Meh I would, but I tend to be a little biased. And though for the most part I try to be helpful sometimes I can get irritated and say things that are not of my normal character.

    I don't feel that being a mod means that you have to act like a robot. Everyone is biased in some way and is entitled to their opinion. It's what separates us from the GM's xDD. b:laugh

    1. Yes, we have been asking him to see if we can get more mods.

    2. I'll direct him toward this thread. (as soon as hes back)

    Ironically the forums are more dead than the game is these days. There is not much point any more when the forums have more trolls than players.

    Anyone who actively seeks out modship should automatically be excluded.
    I'm sure the current mods and gm's know who the sensible forum posters are and could just as easily silently Pm them asking them if they wished the job.

    Mod status should be based on how you choose to respond, and help regardless of title and not because you think you would make a good one.

    Fuzzy actually takes a little bit of offence to that. b:surrender

    Just because you don't see the panda posting in every thread and offering an opinion on everything under the sun has nothing to do with the activity of a Mod.

    This is perhaps an overdue thread and Fuzzy, Shelly and Kris have talked about it with Frankie since the departure of Kirtty and yes, there is now a place for someone to join us.


    However...

    Being a Mod isn't all its cracked up to be at 1st glance. Sadly, the tone of most posts from the community are... shall we say... less than pleasent as of the last year or so. Maybe longer. So be it. Everyone has an opinion and this is the place to express them. Isn't that the whole reason for a forum?

    Just don't think it is all fun and games and banter with the GM's in your spare time. Fuzzy, Shelly and Kris take far more abuse than is apparent and we still soldier on trying our best to provide what we can of a friendly atmosphere on the forums for those who have questions. Be they technical in nature, game realted or just the usual melee we see in General Discussion.

    A new Mod may be welcome soon, however, don't imagine that all we do is tow the party line and deep-six threads we don't like. That would be a pretty limited view.

    The panda is glad to see the community asking for such a thing and will support them in the search for the next one, however, again, don't simply mistake not posting with lack of activity.

    I suppose however it always looks ill against someone. People will always remember the one or two mistakes and easily forget the hundreds of positive things you have done. It is human nature sadly.

    Sadly that is the downfall to power. There will always be a critic of your actions. No one person can create a perfect atmosphere for everyone. You know you're doing a good job however, when the majority of the community is happy with the results even with a few critics (generally with a positive attitude about it with a potential fix/solution to it) you are doing something right.
