This.

If one of us don't agree with something we say so and discuss it.

Oh yeah for that I agree. The best way to have mods is to monitor members over a period of time and base the decision on their activity, their general rapport on the forum, how strict we think they would be as well as fair and the time of day they are usually on.

Smithy 04-08-2011 02:09 PM

-would be a good mod-

I am not saying they do now. I have utmost respect for the mods and I think they are given too much crap for what they do. I was saying if there was a whole forum election for new mods it would just be like most loved and we would end up with someone being elected just because they promised they would ban a certain member or something.

I replied to Boothy in relation to your post. But yeah I know what you mean. :tongue:

lostalex 04-08-2011 02:10 PM

I think the mods have grown to respect my irreverent attitude. :)

...took a while though..

But ukturtle said that that's not how they judge. He said that they look at general activity, rather than members electing popular members. I do see your point, though, but I don't think it happens on here.

You have grown on me, I don't know why though. :tongue:

Doogle 04-08-2011 02:14 PM

There's only about 2 or 3 members I could honestly imagine as a mod. :joker:

Yes I know it doesn't happen, but my first reply was in relation to lostalex's post about how a popularity contest wouldn't necessarily be bad and I was saying actually it would.

I don't understand why people feel the need to complain about the mods anyway. They provide a service to the forum and don't get paid or anything. If they did not do what they do then the forum would be a rife with spammers and unfindable threads.

LOL. :)

I think the mods take a look at the public. At the end of the day, they have the final say.

Members choosing mods would be absolute chaos.

Can just imagine it...'XXX will get my vote if they agree to permaban XXX' 'XXX I will vote for you because you will never ban me' etc. etc.

I don't know who this XXX is but he has my vote.

First permabanned member to become a mod? Interesting. I miss his bull****.

Redway 04-08-2011 02:24 PM

I'd love to be a mod, but I need to work on my temper. I'm, also, too argumentative. Those are issues I need to seriously work on before I even think of applying.

Doogle 04-08-2011 02:25 PM

I can name a few more but I dont want an INFRACTION ;) ;) ;)

Boothy 04-08-2011 02:29 PM
