    i think me and person of differing opinion (would have been raistlin before he got banned) should be made moderators of that forum really. we would cancel each other out when anyone accused us of bias. i use it more often than most and someone like hachifusa or raistlin if reinstated would be adequete. so why not? it's not like i've bee abusive of the forum and neither raistlin or hachifusa. if we ever did we would only be sub-mods anyway and could get the power removed easily enough.

    and about only using it for events. look at what happened with my niger post. it went back to africa. because every world event has politics behind it and that cannot be ignored. you canno have a forum where only facts are reported and no opinion or debate given. buy a newspaper if you want the news.

    I think anyone who would be made moderator of WE should be acceptable to be made a full CK. This immediately disqualifies Cloud No.9 - because I believe adequate grammar and punctuation is some sort of prerequisite - and myself, because then I'd just spam up Staff forum with The Pimp smiley until they either added the damn thing or kicked me out.

    it's not that i can't use proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. it's mostly typos for the spelling and the punctuation and spelling i plainly just ignore because i don't think it is greatly needed.

    Out of idle curiosity: was Shlup the only staffer who would've resigned if I was made a mod again?

    That does not make sense. Nobody is made a mod if any current staff member has an objection to them. So there would be no need for resignations in the first place.

    This I know, as BoB has said time and time again whenever someone brings up the "Aaron missed out on Staff by one vote" story. I was speaking hypothetically, as I believe Shlup made that announcement back when she was an admin.

    I don't think anyone who says "I should be made a mod of so-and-so section" should be made one. Anyway, I don't think that the site really needs more mods over this issue. People should know to warn posts. If they do, the CKs should make sure to look at as many as possible and judge the posts to the best of their ability. If this doesn't work, maybe harsher rules should be put in place.

    I don't think more mods should necessarily be added, either. But threads have to be read - again, the members can't be left with sole responsibility of a forum.

    I don't think modding a couple people for the WE forum would solve any problems. It would most likely just create more problems, and since we don't really have any problems right now, that would be bad.

    I agree with eest. If we thought there was a problem that's as big as you're making it out to be, Raistlin, I'm sure we'd do something about it. As it is, we don't. If we don't get in there enough to catch problems and no one feels the need to report them, then that's the members problem to put up with. But, when we do get in there and see abuse going on, then bans happen.

    And this site doesn't have Sub-Mods. We're all for one and one for all.

    ...so why bother having the moderators delete spam or flames when they see them? If the members don't Warn, I guess no one's bothered by it, so what's the problem?

    EDIT: All I'm saying is that if a forum has deteriorated to the point where the mods - who don't want to go near it if they don't have to - rely solely on the members posting in there to tell them if something's wrong, then there's a problem.

    You're the one that started this thread, Raistlin so I guess you're the one that feels it's a problem. The Staff wasn't complaining.

    ..at least not outside of Staff.

    I think the facts that the only reason I was banned was when someone who doesn't normally look in that forum Warned me, and that most of the moderators here say "I don't look in EotW and I don't want to" speaks for itself.

    You were banned because you were in there trying to get yourself banned and you know it.

    Oh yes, but if Unne hadn't Warned me(after I was linking him to the threads), then who knows how long it would've gone on?
