Then you /quit without saying anything.

Both these of these come before segosa's logs, and we still haven't seen that incident.

Er, the point in Local Moderators is to moderate CERTAIN forums, not to be able to moderate them all. That is what Super Moderators are for. My point being, if you add locals it will still cut down on the amount of reported posts we report daily, and it would reduce spam in the long run, IMHO.

That is very contridicting, because since I have been back, ShawnZ & Toddy have both been banned at least 3 times each, toddy more than that I do believe. Especialy with ShawnZ trying to exploit the board . But as you said, toddy is now gone (for good?).

Indeed.

---

Any plans on stricter guidelines being added?

The forum is coming apart, some things do annoy me, there was a thread about mippo today but since i've joined i've never seen him, not flaming anyone it's just an example.

Also the pointess spammy threads are getting too often, no offence to omar, just an example, but his a huge spammer in this community and does'nt help must however is great in the spanish forums So some people are liked for not doing things on this forum.

Also people who have reps like 8 with no posts becuase they are on irc etc.

Just some things that tic me off, not trying to flame or judge certain people

Thanks again.

Some people do a lot on IRC for the community, they help for hours on end dedicating a lot of time to real time tech support for Plus and MSN in general. You wanna deny people a rep point for that? You can't give reps on IRC, so I think some leeway is permissible in that.

As for Mippo - click the forums team link. He's an elite member, that's not given for no reason.

You missed the point. Local mods are useless on this board (not to mention on many others as well) because decent modding means being able to move threads to other subforums, joining several same threads but posted in different forums together, monitoring a spammer who doesn't keep his spam to 1 subforum (obviously), etc...

Local mods are only truelly usefull if your board is divided in very clear and big non-related subforums (aka having actually more then one board so to speak), not if a board is about one or two main subjects and has subforums which overflow in eachother. and IMHO, this goes for most if not all messenger related forums I've seen; a team of 20 local mods isn't better than a team of 5 'supermods'. In fact it is worse as more local mods need to be added all the time to keep fighting spam as local mods are restricted in what they can do and thus there need to be more mods online all the time to completely cover a board)

On this board there is no such thing as a 'local' mod, it doesn't exist, each mod is equal and covers the entire board. The staff people all trust eachother, like a good staff team should. I say this because you would only make someone a local mod because you don't fully trust him/her to be able to judge over other subforums; otherwise you might as well make him/her a full mod in the first place which would be much more convenient and usefull for both parties...

All this has been discussed many times before btw...

EDIT: And before you say "but there are admins on here, so why don't you make all the mods admins then?": there is a huge difference between 'admin vs supermod' and 'supermod vs localmod'.... Admins do more stuff than supermods and need to have knowledge about the inner workings of a board, hence they administrate a site, this isn't only about 'trust'.... But supermods can't do anything more or don't need to know anything more than a normal mod would (only they aren't restricted to one subforum), hence I say that local mods are only restricted local mods because they are not trusted as much as the supermods; there is no other difference between the two.

As said: adding local mods, normal mods, admins, more options, report buttons, deleting reputations, whatever... all that isn't going to change a thing as all that are means to fix the results of a problem. They don't fix the problem itself being: the attitude of the members of a forum.

If everybody had a good senseable and muture behaviour there wouldn't be any need for report buttons, mods, etc...
