Feedback for inactive mods.

Syed, all you/gohan/few others have done so far in this thread is be completely disrespectful and bashful to anybody who posts an opinion that even SLIGHTLY is against your own. People are using this thread as an avenue to launch personal attacks against specific mods, which really isn't necessary. Things such as mentioning Wulf and stuff is irrelevant and pointless, as it has nothing to do with the thread/activity of mods. You keep saying that modlogs are useless and not a real indicator of activity, and yet you haven't provided another way of measuring how active a mod is, and are disregarding those who do behind the scenes stuff. There isn't that many posts about the donation service and yet that's completely run by one person.

 

Sorry man, I'll come back with a few ideas. My sincerest apologies.

 

Just because they aren't praising mods like you doesn't make them bad.
Syed, Gohan and them are right. Mods who are inactive, whether due to Real-life problems, or just their own laziness need to step down, go to suspended staff, something. Many members in this community deserve a shot at staff, and staff who just meet the minimum quota isn't enough. They should be going above and beyond what's expected. Most staff aren't community involved. Sure, they have to do their mod logs, and that takes time. But they should still be working with the community. With the staff not in it, it just seems like they don't care.

 

Only praised one mod in my entire post. My point is that they shouldn't be trashing others without due reason. I never even stated a contention in my post, I simply pointed out that they were being incredibly hostile. If they want change, they need to be constructive with their criticism, not just directing insults and put-downs at other posters.

 

Lol Gohan, every staff member around during your time knew you sucked a mean dick. You used to be on Sythe day and night, dusk and dawn. If they weren't important to you then please explain to me why you mass archived threads?

And so what if the system changed, doesn't mean what I'm saying isn't true. It can still be applied to whatever system they use now. Or do I need to spoonfeed you info.

Simple theory.

Too little work + Too many workers = Not enough work for individuals.

 

Have you even read any of my posts at all? I haven't bashed anyone, you could say I bashed Corey in my second post but I was actually just using him as an example of inactivity. Go ahead and look through my posts again.

As I have said before, I can list almost every inactive mod in this thread, but I choose not to, because I want them to decide themselves, or let the staff decide by themselves whether or not that individual should stay.

Nothing more, nothing less, I haven't even brought up quotas.

 

The fact that my name hasn't come up in a search of this thread is heartening, but of course, I still need to improve my activity outside the off topic forum. It's a work in progress, thanks for the CnC syed. It's deeply appreciated.

 

In my opinion I don't see a constant need for highly active mods. The report sections are kept clean, disputes are answered and the forum runs fairly smooth. The fact is if the whole team here now was on 6+ hours a day there'd be no need to have the amount of staff members already present. Plus, in what way does it effect you personally that some of these mods won't give up their ranks? Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I don't see the need to create a topic like this pointing out some obvious facts just to have kids that want ranks on here to comment how other people deserve a chance when they're hinting to their selves.

 

That's asking a whole lot from some people who volunteer their contributions. They do not get paid.

 

Exactly the point I'm making. Six hours was the first thing that came to mind.

Fact of the matter is, there is no need for a thread like this. Completely pointless and used to rant.

 

Suggest you read the OP, and other peoples post, then notice the section it's under. Igorance doesn't help. This thread is needed.

 

Oh don't worry I've read. Also have taken into consideration the section it's under. Yet, it's still an immature way of people to get an already known point across. I could care less if you find me ignorant or not. Either way in my opinion, this is completely meaningless as much as it is useless.

 

He's still allowed to challenge other peoples feedback if he believes they're wrong

 

The majority of people supporting this are wannabe staff who want positions vacant so they can get promoted. And yes I am calling you a wannabe staff member.

 

Oh shi, get him.

OT though, mods are going a fine job. Who cares if some of them don't do as much? Its up to the other staff to figure that out, not us.

And to the people saying inactive mods should resign to give others a chance; if you were mod material, you would be a mod. Doesn't matter if that other guy is still one, there is no set limit or quota.

 

lol most of the people who just posted on this page are retarded. Please learn to read.

He is not saying things aren't getting done properly and is not saying that there is a lack of active mods.

He is referring to inactive mods clinging to there rank.

Tbh marrow is right most of the people supporting this does want rank, but that doesn't make their argument invalid.

I don't think this thread will change anything, but I do like how Syed is speaking up.

 

This.

 

Dat excuse

And even if that was true, wouldn't it be better to have active people who actually want the position, and want to do a good job at it rather then people who already got the position and just cling to it because they can, and not because they want to help the site?

 

I agree on the point that the rank huggers should be kicked, but inactivity for IRL problems should be allowed a period of time to get their act together.

 

Quoting myself from another thread...

The role of the staff is not just to keep forums clean, it's be able to be updated with circumstances, promote their section activity and work towards its improvement.

I have the feeling that some mods should not be demoted if they are filling the requirements, it should be up to them if they want to step down and have another person fill their spot.

However I support that a limit of time where the staff only stays behind the scenes to be demoted, else let's just have mods cleaning sections with no posts for a year... They are meeting their quota...
