Sikab Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I will step forward right here and say that Thor has been nothing but professional and amicable in the time I have interacted with him. So, if you have a hard time trusting him, take my word for it, he's a good guy. Hate you for this... But ok. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeshield Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The fact that Ced is in the process of being set up as a mod and my excitement at working with him notwithstanding, Mr.Mango's point is a good one. I've personally got several years of experience administrating the forums for another fairly large game, and I'm confident that the other moderators were selected for their merits as well. Generally, I have a history of moderating myself, such as a large Northern American Paintball community with 35,000 members, and other forums, too. That's the biggest one, though. Heh, I used to be a moderator on xbox.com. So with that experience I know the pressures that will be upon your shoulders and the many man tears that are awaiting you. With that, I bid you all good luck! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venarge Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) That's definitely a valid point, and I can empathize with the people who are concerned. I'd just like to make it clear that we were selected because Rebecca believed we have the experience and competence to do a good job, and hope that you guys are willing to give us a chance on those grounds. I see it that way: You havent done anything wrong by now. So I dont see why the moderators shouldnt get the chance to prove them ^^ And I dont think this got anything to do with how much posts/time you already have. People arent less capable of being a good moderators just because they dont have thousands of posts. Same goes the other way. Just because I have 2000 posts wouldnt make me a good moderator :D I think moderators will bring a fresh wind into the forums and Becca will be relieved a bit :3 So good luck to all the mods =) Edited May 2, 2013 by Venarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thor... The problem is we don't know you. You are an unknown person to probably 99% of the community. You talk about your experiences of Moderation. You literally ask for Trust from the community. There are some very Respected and Well Known members, who've been active and helpful towards every1. Trust is something you need to earn. Not something that's granted because you become a Community Mod as an unknown member of the Forums. Then don't trust him, that's up to you personally. As far as the powers vested in him as a community moderator, to be blunt, I am happier having someone with some neutral administration experience that was sufficient to impress DE that he has the professional skills required rather than win a popularity contest or operate under the need for gaining community 'approval' to neutrally enforce the rules of debate. Simple rules like complaining or questioning moderation decisions is not acceptable or appropriate in most forums, including I believe Warframes, but I'd have to look that up.

Quetzhal Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Haha, Blatant got in? Excellent choice. One of the users I respect for rationality and politeness, along with nullqasael and Drusus. :DAnyway, we did need moderators. Congrats to the chosen!

Katakuna Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ultimately, I'm just glad we have some active mods to keep the trash out. Don't much care who they are, so long as they do their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenwing Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 @Sikab I don't understand the reasoning for not liking the mod picks. More than just likeability, length of time on forums, and post count are needed to be forum moderators. Also I made everyone in the thread a 0 cause 0.

Renan.Ruivo Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Interesting Decisions. And can't say I agree with them. I would have thought we would see ppl like Ced23Ric whos active, an old member of the community and probably one of the most known Forumer. Not some random who joined 1 month ago the game, whom most of the forum don't know or respect. Again, bad decisions. From most other online games i have participated in, community moderators are watched closely by the actual paid community team. So it's not really our place to question their decisions about whom they pick. If one of them does something you think it's unfair, just open a support ticket. I'm pretty sure that everyone knows that publicly discussing moderator actions is a big NO-NO in most places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, trust me.. from experience, discussing moderator actions, no matter how civil it starts.. it evolves into a flame-war 95% of the times. So basically in all big communities: #1 rule about being "moderated is: "You don't talk about being moderated". #2 is: "You don't PM the moderators asking why they took action A, B or C." #3 is: "No shirts, no shoes." #4... wait... i think i mixed some rules. Let's leave it at that. Edited May 2, 2013 by Renan.Ruivo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
