Lately we've been changing the moderation staff for a variety of reasons, some are new and some will be going. To cut to the chase, we now have three new mods, say hi to; Bert, Domo and Theforeshadower. Hopefully they should do a good job ;).
-
I don't agree with one of them.
-
Who is bert? And I don't know if I agree with Domo or not. I'll have to look him up more. Congrat Fourshadower.
-
Bertfallen and Domo definetly deserved it.
-
I don't agree with one of them.
Tough luck. Its not your choice, its the head moderators.
Who is bert?
Bertfallen (http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=335), sorry I usually shorten his name.
-
theforeshadower, imo, is that last person deserving of modship even Sora deserves it more than him.

Well put it this way, if he missbehaves now there are bigger consequences.

I think it's unfair to single him out. You should say "If any of them misbehaves, there are now bigger consequences."

Users unfortunately don't get the option of agreeing or disagreeing with who moderators are.
This topic is NOT for flaming new ZFGC staff members, I expect more out of you guys, if I see anything further on it, I'll come out of my resigned-shell and kick some ass. Because your comments are 100% uncalled for and will come with consequences.
-
Good choices, I suppose.
I don't know Bertfallen or Theforeshadower that well, but Domo is a great choice.
Oh, by the way.. The chances of me becoming a moderator are slimmer than twiggy, but in case that time ever comes.. Don't pick me. I never want to be a mod.

Mod's are asked before they're picked. Thanks for the information though. :)
-
/me approves.
-
I recommended Domo strongly, >.<. He does make a lot of reports and beyond that he seems like he will be a team player. I have no opinion on the other two really, but I think that if someone else believes in them that should be enough. bertfallen exemplifies an aspect of intelligent and caution while Theforeshadower is at least enthusiastic and active.

I disagree with this. First off, if we weren't suppose to voice our opinion than the topic should be locked. I agree that flaming is wrong, but even though it doesn't matter we are still allowed to say whether we disagree or not. I don't think anything I said would count as a flame. I don't know Bert, so I didn't say congratulations. I don't know Domo too well, so I said I would look at his post history (which I probably won't), and because I don't know him I don't know if it's a good choice or not. I congratulated Foreshadower because I know him and think he'll do a good job.
I think as long as this topic remains unlocked we should be allowed to voice our opinion as long as we don't break any rules.

Yeah, although I disagree with what you said, I don't believe that simply disagreeing with the choices made is a flame.
-
Well, you can all be sure about Domo, I guarantee it and stake my own reputation if I have one on it for nominating him.
-
Who is bert? And I don't know if I agree with Domo or not. I'll have to look him up more. Congrat Fourshadower.
I'm bert, or Bertfallen. I changed my username to Seeney though. May change it back if people get confused about it.
-
Well, you guys just have to trust our judgement. :P
The staff members know pretty well who is suitable for being a mod.
Anyways, welcome aboard guys!
-
My comments were mostly directed at Buster, but I strongly disagreed with Sora's as well. This is not a time to pick people out in public. I realize the topic is open to all some things are better left unsaid. Be respectful of others.
-
Sora, you try too hard to be anti.
On another note, congratulations to the new mods. I'm sure you all will do a great job. :)
-
Sora, you try too hard to be anti.
This.
Anyways, omfg Domo -rape rape- <3 Congrads
ALL YOU OTHERS TOO >:O <3

Hmm, since I recognize your name I looked at your post history. Well, I don't know. from what I can tell I've seen you call a lot of people an idiot just for disagreeing with you, and some other bad stuff, but I've also seen you be mature. I mean, not as mature as me when I'm not being lazy, but mature enough where I could see you as a mod.
I could see you going both ways with the mod thing, but since being a mod means you have to have pride in yourself and behave I think you'll do at least a good job. I look forward to seeing how this effects you, and how you will effect ZFGC as a mod.
To note on a few things:
1) I didn't count anything I saw in spam.
2) I don't mean this as disrespect. I am giving you a complement. It's not a perfect "OMG YOU"LL be a greaT MOD!!" complement, but it is a "I think you'll do a good job, I am 75% sure."
Sora, you try too hard to be anti.
Anti? Is that a member? Or are you saying I am pessimistic? The latter is true, but this is not the topic for that.
-
I don't agree with one of them.
Keep the dream going Regulus! Never lose hope! Maybe, one day!
-
BRB summing up post.
From this point on, no mod is allowed to have fun and they can only be as mature as me when I'm not being lazy.
k back guys
-
From this point on, no mod is allowed to have fun and they can only be as mature as me when I'm not being lazy.
That is the greatest rule ever. In fact, we should expand that to all members.

Regardless of the hate and love, I'll give it my best. Don't worry, Buster, I really have nothing against you so don't think I'm going to single you out.

I realize I'm never going to be mod. It would be cool if i was but it won't happen.

Well, then you and I have a problem. :P j/k
Whatever you think, he still IS the mod. He has the ability to lock topics, warn people etc.
Maybe you'll learn to respect him more, when you see he does a good job modding. Have some faith, dude.

I'm a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to opinions but thats because I keep on changing mine with my mood. And I try to keep my immaturity to when I'm with my mates, its just how they know me to be honest.
But yeah I see where you're coming from and no offense or disrespect taken.
Also even if you did count things in Spam doubt it'd of changed anything I barely post in there. And even when I do its not really spammish things anyway :P

fixed.

I don't really think him becoming a mod will change my opinion on him that much or even at all.

Congrats all of you. Do a good job or I'll kick you in the face. (http://www.zfgc.com/forum/Smileys/takam/wink.gif)
-
Congrats guys. I give the former mod seal of approval XD Don't give the job a bad name or I'll punch you >.>
-
I'm fairly confident that bert will make a fine mod. I'm not as confident with Domo and Foreshadower, but they're good members, so we'll see.
*is still bummed about not getting modship, but neh, I'll have my day in the sun.*

* Considers giving Source adminship just to see what would happen.

The complete opposite of what you think would happen. Shockingly enough, when in positions of power, I'm not one to abuse them.

Surprisingly that's the same with me. I am the complete opposite of what i normally am when I'm a mod or admin.

Being a moderator really, really isn't that great. Now, administrating.. That's where it's at.
-
From the perspective of someone who has risen from the bottom all the way to the top and then took a step down, moderation may not be rewarded, but it is where all of the work gets done. The lack of sunshine though because I sit in front of a computer a lot, that is one of the many drawbacks. That and sores. I need more cushions for my seats.

You make me sound lazy? I mod quite a lot :(.
-
Would it be too much to ask for to make you guys have a serious talk whether Buster should be allowed to stay or not?
I'm not trying to troll or flame, it's an honest to god question.

I temp-banned him earlier today, along with Pyro.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you guys getting a little defensive over some dude on the internet saying he doesn't agree with your choice? Administration isn't necessarily smarter than members just because they're administration. People will disagree with you. It's just a fact.
Congratulations to the new mods, sorry to old mods who are gone, and above all, remember not to let power go to your head.
One other thing
Being a moderator really, really isn't that great. Now, administrating.. That's where it's at.
Moderators have the power to enforce rules through persuasion, and the power to manipulate posts on the forum. Administrators have the power to enforce rules in general. There's nothing really glamorous about either of them.

I guess you've never heard of the mad rave parties we throw in the staff board...they're off the hook yo. :D
Anyway, thanks everyone for the support and congratulating us. It's appreciated. Hopefully I won't screw up too much. ;)
-
Being an admin and or a mod, depending on the type of community, can pretty much be the most unglamorous thing ever. It can suck you dry and make things very unfun, it also makes things get very serious. Depends on the person as well and how well they can balance themselves as a community member and a staff member, if you can do that well, you'll do fine.
I'm getting defensive because I find it very disrespectful for someone to tout someone else's abilities, when they've yet to give them a chance. I think its rude and uncalled for. Its no different than flaming in my book, I really don't think we should be disrespecting each other at that level.. at least not where people can see it. What you do on your own time is your own thing.
-
*is way too late to say this, but says it anyway*
TomPel and I have full confidence in the members we nominated. I apologize if anyone does not feel the same way.
-
Well now I can't be friends with theforeshadower (http://www.zfgc.com/forum/Smileys/takam/embarrassed.gif).
Congratulations Bert, and Domo I don't recall a applying topic though.
-
Wow, 4 pages.
Anyway, i don't think we really have the right to judge who does, and doesn't get modded. Obviously they chose the new mods for a reason. I think they will be good mods. If they don't out to be good, i'm sure action will be taken.
-
I don't recall a applying topic though.
There wasn't one.
-
Congrats guys. I know you`ll all do a good job.
-
I don't recall a applying topic though.
There wasn't one.
Well, if you want to be technical, when I was choosing new moderators a long while back, that was an application topic, and all of those picked now did apply through that. If anything, all of them then were viewed as good but were picked over at the time, but in this time, they have learned a bit more since then.
-
Congratulations to the three of you. I have no problem with these choices.
-
Well, nothing bad has happened yet, so I guess it's a good sign. Just so long as they don't go over the top and start making problems, which I normally do with that power, they'll really be no change. Good luck guys.

Thats not really very nice...you shouldn't look for opportunities to flame a specific member if you don't like them.
Anyway, I really like the decision. Good luck to all three of you!

I want to congrat all 3 of them. I have nothing against them. :D

they're all doing good. 4shad is a realy great mod.

It's kinda of hard to compare the three of us to the other mods after just two days. We've haven't even had enough time to really do much of anything, while the other mods have been here and doing well for some time. I think I can speak for all three of us when I say that we are all still just learning. It's much too early to say whether or not we'll end up doing well.

Yeah, I guess you have a point there. At least no one is doing badly.
