Five of the most active members would mean that there would most likely be a mod online at nearly all times. If there's a load of spam constantly coming, and a ton of crappy posts it would stop it building up. Johnny_Mac, rarely comes anywhere near here any more, and the forum is getting a lot bigger, and quickly. We really need more moderators, not less!

Most forum members have the same opinions on what is spam and what isn't spam. As long as the members are chosen carefully, I think it could work.

The way the spam and floods of new members is going, it could be do or let the forum die.
There's a lot of decent members that could easily be mods and would do the job well. With little hassle and causes of problems. For example I believe that Sunshine would be a great moderator.

i agree that sunshine would make a great mod :happy: and that there are also other members who are very mature and ideal for this job here. but, i agree with WDZ as well, because it is a big deal. u can't just make anybody a moderator... i think that all the current mods, if they think this would be a good idea, should really talk it over. i don't think this will be very easy. besides, who knows if the people we see fit for those positions, actually would want to be mods anyway?

this is a very big deal.

No, I didn't shoot it down, and I'm not being lazy.

I want to discuss it before doing anything, because like I said, it's a huge deal.

Of course I do. I've been a member for over 3 years, and I spend many hours here every single day, even when I should be using that time to get more important work done. And if I didn't care, I don't think I'd even be replying to this thread.

Yep, I agree, probably one of the first choices.

I think that is a must.  If they did it, they would handle the whole thing the same way they do picking Elite Members, only with more requirements.

Obviously... :P

They wouldn't just pick random members...

Like Anubis said...

If they added a couple more mods, I would bet they would choose the more active out of the Elite Members.

We wont be making our decessions based on a users IRC activity.


Now, We'll begin the Messenger Plus! Forums Moderator Selection Conclave. Same rules as the selection of the pope, Watch for white smoke from the forum server, If it's black smoke coming from the server, Please call the fire department.

No chance of me becoming a mod then? :P
Seriously, I think there are more appropriate choices than me anyway, like Sunshine for instance.

It will be a Private mod/admin choice. Elites will have NO say in the final choice an elite member may be in the runnings.
