New Mod
« on: November 21, 2013, 10:26:50 pm »
yo celestial_one = new mod.

I've also put him/mappy in charge of stickies since everyone was making such a fuss about them.

Ask them if you want **** stickied.

Also if you have any complaints just contact me.

I put him as mod because he's stable, quite active on the forums, and doesn't get manipulated too much. I know there are people that could have done it.

one could argue for more mods before when you had to "move" all deleted posts to the trashcan manually, but now that this is automatic = why exactly do we need cele as mod? much less with a "minimal moderation" policy lol.

the motive behind promoting people is obvious, but i dont think putting cele as mod is going to make any difference.

real theory = fix council (perhaps add a crackhead from csb so they feel represented), add chakra as admin to brush up around the forum(no moderating), and remove quoteparty. All DeSciSon IS MadE bY Kaunsill!! this will work wonders for the forum.




no hate on cele tho, if we needed more mods -> i'd recommend cele. not arguing that we should replace him, just that we don't need him/others as additional moderators.

I think cele is a good choice for mod, but I agree with amir's sentiment that mods in general are overrated.  Usually mods are a source of contention and abuse.  I've never seen a forum die because a post was in the wrong section or it took an extra few hours to send a dumb post to the trashcan.

The reason there should be two mods at a minimum is so that if one mod participates in a thread, then the other mod should moderate it and not participate.

It is clear that mods are strongly bias in their own threads, weeding out posts more aggressively against them for them.

Before I was too scared to elect mods/allow mods to moderate because I didn't trust anyone to delete posts per the policies of the forum.

Now that all deleted posts are sent (recycled) to the trashcan I'm not worried any more because there is accountability and we can recover any good posts that are deleted.

This should allow me to focus on some other bits.

@Chakra - if you review the posts in the trashcan are there any that shouldn't have been deleted? I don't think that is a problem. Some threads are more 'serious' (e.g., long/serious tone opening post) -> they will be moderated more of course. Those threads also tend to generate more attention -> more moderation. I'm obviously not going to moderate the threads CsB Chronicles and New Mod with the same rigor based on the starting post.


Forum council = I'm for. But I need a blueprint for who and how to execute the idea.

kinda silly to exclude a mod (usually a valuable poster) from popular threads so that we can ensure "unbiased moderation", when the problem of biased moderation doesn't exist in the first place. if you know of any example with biased moderation chakra, show me.



adding extra mods (and on top of that -> adding people in charge of stickies lol.. this idea was cute as hell ^^) seems to just increase inconsistent moderation. sure we can revert bad decisions, but why go through with this when we don't have to?

adding several mods makes especially little sense if you buy the premiss that the one mod we've always had = got better judgement than the new mods (extremely low amount of work is necessary on these forums). this seems to be the case, given the statements about lack of trust earlier.




but sure, keep cele for all i care. it doesn't make sense, but i don't think it will make much difference, positively or negatively. my main point = we should focus more on stuff that DOES make a difference. to put it in a famous analogy, noone cares if wolves have 7.79 radius vision or 7.81 :D

There is quite a lot of behind-the-scenes work, people messaging me with essays about stickies and post deletion requests.

Better for me to focus on stuff that really matters - and let mods deal with what I think is absolutely meaningless insane stuff.

Good choice.  Cele = somebody who tends to no not crack under pressure and always seems to find the right way to handle situations.

Good leadership by SIDEY!
