A Plea for Moderation

~~granite123~~ · (This post was last modified: 05-24-2011, 00:34 by granite123.)

Many of us have discussed the absence of moderators on recently. Many people feel that there should be more mods, and what i mean about more mods are people that stay on for longer for 15 minutes a day. There has been much griefing and it takes atleast a week to acquire mod support. Though the addition of Tristo has been quite helpful, many feel it is not enough.

Here is a list of the mods and the last time they were online:
NFmous - May 04
SirSuba - May 19
Kubrick - May 17
Tristo - Most active but still not on as much as is needed.
Android - Supports my earlier statement about being on for short periods of times.

As you can 3/5 of the mods haven't been on in the past week.

I am not trying to bash any moderators in this post. I still respect the mods, but i am trying to send out a message that many have been asking for.

(In case of TLDR, we need more mods / active mods.)

Edit: I do understand school and other activities, but with the amount of mods we currently have this shouldn't be an issue

Agreed, we need 3 more mods, now!

3 would be too many. What i am asking for 1 one active mod. That is all that is needed. With more than that there would be an overload of mods and there could be trouble controlling them from abusing their powers.

This.

I like our mods, they are really good. But they don't fall under the category of really active. I think we need another 2 mods or so. After that it should be filled up. It will handle the activity aspect at least, or I hope it will. Not bashing on any mods, but we need some more because with the shortage of mods, the server is a riot.

I agree that we desperately need some new mods. The International Subway system has been completely grieved and there really hasn't been any mods on to take care of it.

All responses are greatly appreciated. The more people we get and the stronger argument we make, another mod may join server.

I Agree fully with Granite, Nlewis, Stug, and All the rest.
The release of Terraria has been a big hit on the Server, Yottabyte and Android have been caught up in it.
But even before that, there was little activity.
Tristo Has been given a burden.
Every time he logs in he gets something about a problem that has yet to be solved.
He is the only mod i ever see on, With the exception of Android who is on for about 15 minutes before playing Terraria (No offense that game is awesome Laugh

.)
I would say we need Atleast one, but recommended two mods to get the server up and running again.
It has fallen into a slump, and needs to come out.

Agreed with Cells wall of text.We need 1 mod maybe even 2 just incase, this time I think you should choose the mods based on activity on the forums/server as well as helpfulness not a message loaded with as much bullcrap as you can think of ( no offense to anyone but you could say pretty much anything in the post doesnt mean it has to be true)
Short form- I think a few more mods should be chosen depending on different factors (up to Yotta) not based on a pm.
**JUST MY OPINION **

Kyga Makes a good point.
But also, Community opinion would be nice.

I say that Cell, Nlewis, or myself apply for moderation and get a server-wide petition to back the one(s) who we all agree have the maturity and availability to become a mod.

I know that I personally have not been active the past week or so, but everything has been school related (MITES Competition, TARC Washington Nationals, Graduation, State solo and ensemble, State band festival, district solo and ensemble + festival, and soon the memorial day parade), but in a week or so, school will be out, so I would be available.

Add Kyga to the list, hed do good too.
