I think the forums need more moderators. It's not that there are tons of threads to close and not enough people. I think another role of forum staff is to set an example by posting often around the MB. While we have a few staff members who do post often and are highly visible, I feel like in the past, when we had more active staff members, the general population of EoFF had a better idea of how to behave as a forum member.
Just a thought. Does that make any sense?
Yes it does. I think it's good to have a large diverse group involved in the decision-making process in any environment. A few people have stepped down and it shows a bit.
The rest of Staff make fun of me whenever I say we need more Staff for non-moderating-purposes. :(
I just advise the mods or knights when there are some discrepencies in the forums. *has no power but the power of tattle tale* xD Maybe more staff who are in different time zones would be an idea so there's always someone on there that can keep an eye on things? *shrugs*
I don't, I don't recall you ever suggesting that :pQuote:

Hmmmm.... :shifty:
Clearly Matt wants to be a Mod again. Go for it.
Some more would be nice though, yeah. There really aren't too many active ones.
For solely moderating purposes, even for a board this large, you need a handful of mods.Quote:

However, moderating is only part of a good mod's job.
We should make me the anti-mod. That way people know what NOT to do :D
I like it.
exactly.Quote:

I agree with the topic at hand.
I'm freaking FAMOUS for suggesting that! x_xQuote:

and rightly so!
Rather than making more global moderators like there are now perhaps put a handful of people in different times in charge of one or more of the forums, kind of like how the election "positions" are boken up now?
We won't be using forum mods. We don't really need any more mods for that purpose, anyway. The main reason that people in this thread think we need more mods is so we have more people showing examples in the general forums as well has having more people voicing opinions in the staff forum on matters that affect every one of you who post in EoFF. That kinda stuff. To be honest, I don't think we've ever had EoFF be this 'peaceful' for a long time. We're doing fine for moderation. :)
Well then let's stir it up!
Of course, one of the "prizes" for winning the election is that you have to post a meaningful response in every thread in your respective forums every day. ;)
Dude, Matt. Come here boy! :D
I suggest that EoFF become a democratic republic, instead of being an oligarchy.
We could have serious elections that actually determine who gets power, but there have to be restrictions on who can run. Like this:
1. You may not be edczxcvbnm.
I thought Restricted Members was for this kind of stuff.
Recognized Members?
sup?Quote:

You need to come back. <3
That's up to Mandee. She broke my heart when I left.
;_;
eest makes a valid point. i always wondered why mods who stepped down/were fired weren't replaced promptly.
You have not!Quote:

Flying Mullet: forum mods suck.
Giving opinions/suggestions in the staff forum is probably the most important job a staffer has.
Therefor, Loony BoB is a better staffer at FG than the entire staff there combined. :D
And he's not even on staff.
No , Sherlock.

it obviously got moved in there.
Ah, it was probably Pass the Bleys then.
I've started more threads in Staff than I have outside the entire time I've been here :p
What the hell thread did I make in the Staff Forums? I never even click on those things.
Haha, that was great. I split one of your posts from a random thread and put it into the Staff forum, edited it saying something like "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, SUCKERS, I WIN!" and then everyone in Staff freaked out. xD I'm so naughty.
Awesome. I would love to see that thread as it sounds funny as hell. Just like....save it and send it to me in an e-mail or something.
that's worse than saying Linus died.
Freaking out staff is fun.Quote:

It's all business now, though.Quote:

any staff feedback besides noting that BoB agrees with me?
haha, I'm second most active staffer (in thread counts anyway since Bleys left)
Wow, I've posted less topics in staff than Big D and I've been on staff 3+ years, against what, 3+ months? Heh. That pretty much goes with my trend of not starting topics period, though.
We're discussing about what's been said right now.Quote:

Hmm. Discussing. It sounds like the anti swear filter all over again.
I think kishi should be a mod.
Oh wait.
I think Aaron should be an admin. :D
Also bring back Del Murder Forum!
I miss the Del Murder Forum. :(
I miss The Poop Forum, aka, The Man Forum. :(
Those forums sucked.
b 4 lyfe!
I think we should add an ORPG forum.
I thought you guys really did have a Word Association thread in Staff, until I snuck in and found out you really didn't. ;_;
That was a while ago though. I'm sure it's full of spam now though.
The sig restriction thread is always in the top ten threads, really.
Man I feel sorry for the poor sap they get to fill that job.
second time's the charm, they say.
Now I get that post xDQuote:

Why would someone close a thread in the staff forum? >_>
I really don't know.
no point to it really. we can still post in them. >=D
You evil people.
look, if you know that acting like you do is going to piss people off, then WHY DO YOU DO IT?Quote:

To stop the normal mods from posting in them.Quote:

Sometimes, there's something to be said for changing the way you act if it pisses people off. "That's how I am" is a poor excuse, if you ask me.
But whatever.
how do I "piss" people off?
Some people get pissed off too easily.
eest has a point, but if Bert isn't aware how his behaviour is bothering people, there's less hope than I thought. *sigh*
I'm not aware because I really don't see anything wrong with my posts.
Their frequency and typical lack of humorous or insightful content, for starters.
Actually, I don't believe anyone would mind them if not for their frequency. Believe it or not, you're not obligated to reply to every thread in General Chat! In fact, it's better if you don't. The more frequently one posts, the less humorous and insightful one's posts tend to be.
Believe it or not, you're not obligated to reply to every thread in General Chat! - The Man
HaHa. :)
Sorry, I found that funny for EoFF's (almost) highest poster and longest poster to say. :)
I agree with you though.
true. xD
I don't post all that often anymore though :o at least, not here :-[
You might not, but your alter-ego Kilgore Trout spams with the best of them.
B spawned a monster in the shape of this child....lalalaQuote:

You were sick but now you're better. Get up, there is work to be done!
Not even the Creator of the Universe could say what The Man was going to say next. Perhaps The Man was a better universe in its infancy.
R.I.P. ;_;
is that where you got the SN?
I wish it were something as grandiose as that. I just came up with it on a whim, though. Registered with a Gilgamesh avatar, and it's well known that Gilgamesh is The Man, so The Man I was. It's stuck since then, even in the times when I absolutely couldn't stand the screen name. ;)
Except for 20 or so times when you changed it.
Yes, but people kept calling me The Man anyway. ;)
That's because most of those names sucked.
admirably so. except when you were Citizen Bleys.
When I first saw you posting here I thought you were The Man from ffwa, which would have been weird.
He's Aaron at Fool's Gold, and The Man everywhere else. What was this thread about again?
we need more staff!
o wait...
i'd close it if i were the recognized member i was voted to be... :D
I'm pretty sure that wasn't what this thread was about, but since I keep clicking on the last post button on the forum index, I shall never know.
actually it was, you piece of crap!

ywelc :D

*spam*
a fitting tribute to our latest promotion.
*hails Bruckner*
Damn! Del never hailed Bruckner!
Oh well. :(
what a loser. i hope hailing bruckner is a rite of passage for all new staff members.
I don't know how we missed that. :(
we obviously need more staff!
See it all comes full circle.
it's because i'm a poet
Don't I know it.
*hails Bruckner*
:(
*hails Bruckner*
:D
*mails Bruckner*
:p
*nails Brucker... to a wall*
*bails Bruckner...out of jail*
Yer all nuts.
Even Bruckner.
Actually, I'm not Aaron there anymore either. I'm Random at Fantasy Fighters and some character or other at FFWA because The Man is already taken there, but I'm The Man pretty much everywhere else. And I might go back to The Man™ at FFWA.Quote:
