Time for a mod rotation?

nabreekinabreeki Member Posts: 2,657 Arc User
in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Just wondering, because it seems like the mod team, in general, has drifted away from both STO and the community over the bast months (and for at least one, more than a year). STO burnout in itself is not a problem -- I think most of us have been there (and those who haven't probably have more than a few prescriptions), but when stewards of the playerbase are no longer actively part of the playerbase -- even if just for, say, four or five months -- then I think the modship should transition to those who are still active and enthused.

Not a critique of the mods themselves, mind you. I think they're good people, just not as active in the community as I believe mods, community managers, etc, should be.

Personally, I think regularly rotating mods is a great idea, but I'm not going to push it.

    The simple fact that the FCT has not been updated or mentioned in years proves nabreeki right.

    It would give Forum-PvP a whole new meaning.

    Oh and @Nabreeki ... there's typos in the OP ;)

    There are typos in the OP. I realize that.

    Ok, and there is an Edit button to fix them. So why a separate post to say you know you made mistakes? ;)
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    I'm still around and keep up-to-date with things. Burnout? Yeah, a bit, but it happens to all of us. What matters is, to be able to decide for one-self, if they still want to keep going - and I simply do take breaks when it would affect my time on the forums - I'm, only a human Liberated Borg after all.
    Would I like to see an active helping hand? Yeah.
    These forums cannot be kept in order 24/7 by one or two people, at least in my humble opinion. Especially as volunteers, that's impossible. Passing this higher up the chain either way, as something to consider.

    This sounds like a good idea.

    PWE in general downsized their community teams company wide. I would expect that results in less actual CM communication overall.

    I would gladly be a volunteer if a position was available :smiley:

    It's my experience during my time here that different mods have differing opinions and varying prominence. Trendy, quite possibly being one of the best and funniest ever! There are times I do wish that mods move a little quicker, but hey, I understand they can't be here 24/7.

    With a well-rounded group of rotating volunteer moderators, there can easily be 24/7 coverage.

    How about we nominate Nabreeki for the first round? I believe they will be the most interesting mod that we will ever have.

    The man definitely has his fingers on the pulse of the community, I can support this.

    Anyway, Jo, we should definitely elevate this issue.
    I did pass this topic up.
    And strictly speaking for myself, I'd welcome having more people taking care of the forum issues. More people = faster response and also, mind you, less risk of burning out, as you don't handle it all, no matter what. The trick is also finding the right folks for the task too. That's all I can say on the topic, really. :)
