Guild Forum Moderation
« on: September 29, 2005, 01:25:04 pm »
It\'s my opinion that the current Guild Forum Moderation could be even more efficient.
Aendar, Kiva, Talad, Acraig and Vengeance are the moderators of this forum. From these five moderators only one, Aendar, has (visibly) interacted with the forum in this month.

I think the Guild Forum Moderation should have more effort into it. It\'s easy to realise that this forum can be problematic sometimes. People can get easily excited with the protection of their guild or with the berating of another.
Not so scarcely, discussions strech to a ridiculous point when topics are no longer discussed for themself, but there is simply a challenge of rhetoric.
Such things shouldn\'t happen in a forum. Forums are usually used to convey information in an interactive, organized and easy way between people.

No, I don\'t want PS Forums to turn into a fascist nation. I don\'t think there\'s anything wrong with a ranting post or off-topic post from time to time. I just think they shouldn\'t be abused.
I\'m not panicking either. I just think things like these should be dealt with haste and efficiency.

There are three possible ways to solve this. The way I see at least.
One is to request the current moderators to pay more attention to the Guild Forum.
The second is to add new participative moderators for the Guild Forum Moderation team.
The third way would be inciting players to report messy situations whenever they are confronted with them.

Hmpf, all that typing for naught. Well, I\'m glad to know it\'s being looked into, nevertheless.

Well, I know personally I don\'t read this forum much at all so don\'t count on me for general moderation.  I just have it incase somebody on irc or in a thread points out something that needs to be moderated.   But I am more than willing to have a few more moderaters ( preferably from some of the bigger established guilds ).

Can you give me a definition on that Acraig?  How long would this person have to be with PS/forums inorder to be considered a mod?  How active would they need to be, someone who is here everyday? And the \"bigger established guilds\"  what do you mean by this as well?

I think that\'s just how Drey talks..

Hopefully someone who is picked doesn\'t run away from the boards after a few months, or is at least active on here in the first place before being made a moderator this time.

Well someone who has been here for quite some time and can be trusted to not over moderate oh yeah and has some free time.  I assume there will be some reqs.. wish I knew what they were :P.

Edit: btw.. I said I would do it.. only been here a year though and at the forums for 9 to 10 months.  I assume whoever is chosen will have been here 2 or so years but I guess we will see :)

And judging from the most recently updated threads, you\'re not wasting any time.

Well done!
