Thread: Mods

  1. #1

    Default Mods

    I've noticed a lot of you have been complaining about moderator policies here.

    I'd just like to say, I've moderated forums before, and it's a difficult job that requires you to detach yourself or people will end up disliking you simply because you closed a thread or deleted a post.

    I've noticed the mods are quite strict here, which doesn't go down well all the time with the members. But on a forum this size, they can't use one rule for one person and not for another. So they have to impliment a zero tolerance policy, otherwise there would be so many more arguments over whether moderator actions were justified.

    I've had the experience of being a mod before, on a smaller forum than this, and trust me it was hell. :rolleyes2

    So I'd just like to hand it to the mods in this thread, because they don't deserve all the stick they get.









    Alternatively, we could have a member v. mod uprising O_@.......

    Kthx.

    I think they do a good job. It's important to keep the forums clean from spam, but it's also important not to be too strict. People do come here to have fun, so it's important not to scare them away!

    I like the mods I may complain publicly but that's all a part of the game.

    They're easily approchable... and rubah is hot :joey:

    Yeah, the Staff are cool. Sure, at times I disagree, but there doing their job.

    A lot of us have moderated forums before, myself included, but not on a forum of this size.

    I think they do a good job.

    I think the mods do an excellent job.

    However I still disagree with the banning of Gunblademaster.

    Well, I don't feel sorry for them for having it rough every now and then, they're doing this voluntarily. Either way, they're doing a good job most of the time.

    omg I modded someplace too before! Several! I too know the hardships of being moderate, which is why I don't vote Republican or Democrat! :|

    I haven't seen a moderator here in all the years I've been here. I've seen Knights charging to and fro on their, well, chargers, but that's an entirely different story.

    And Yams strolls.

    But this isn't about how Knights get around, is it, or there'd be more gossip about how Raist got "around" back in the d--*shot by sniper*

    Yeah I agree. I used to run a forum. Not a big one, but I gave up after I started recieving "hate mail" in my inbox. Noone wanted to help either so I gave up until the forum became a pit of depravity and relentless spam......
    I've just started up another forum. It's ok now but in a year or so when more members join.... I'm not looking forward to it. At the moment Monster_Hunt is my only mod. I just hope some more people would be willing to help this time. Being a mod or admin's not all it's cracked up to be. You have to show real dedication to do a good job.

    Mods only exist to make sure there are no problems in the forums and keep the forum running as smooth as possible. Also, to make sure members follow forum rules.

    Btw, why did Gunblademaster get banned?

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"
