Is it can be RP forum tiem now plees?

[Bex]

You need someone to run it? Channy's right there.

Idd, but I'm guessing that because most of the suitable candidates have had bans, none of us are fit for the post.

 

[Cookie Monster]

Pretty much.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

God forbid people have a less than perfect past.

I mean you have one mod who was the laughing stock of acf for his pompous prick attitude, you have another who wrote the rules for the spam section this place is abolishing and you have yopy who is a green tentacle raping monster...
go figure.

 

[Ⓐaron]

In at least two cases the bans were just a couple of weeks ago, so it's not exactly as if they've given staff a lot of reason to expect their behaviour to improve if they get placed on staff

 

[Channy]

Yeah but it's not like we were banned for trolling an shit. They were kinda silly, short term bans that were deserved....ish.

 

[Bex]

Idd, because posting spoilers would heavily affect the running of an RP forum, amirite?

Channy is mean while a perfect candidate, she has experience, she's not been banned in the last week (GOD FORBID) and she actually knows how to write.
Good choice y/y?

And Scott is right, we're all obviously undesirables if we've done something wrong in our past imho.

This isnt roa aaron, for all they are gonna do just do what acf did an make a seperate mod section for em to work on rules behind the public eye and they dont have access to the uber elite inner workings of the tls staff section.

All three of you have flamed within the past three weeks, so it's not like staff are concerned about you just posting random spoilers.

I do agree that if a perfect past had been required from the beginning, certain people on TLS staff probably wouldn't be there, but it's a bit late to change the way things were set up in the beginning now.

 

[Celes Chere]

This, seriously. Besides, they seem serious about it. I don't think anyone intends to cause a problem while running an RP section. =/

 

[Channy]

Aaron, let's really not bring that into it.

It's not like we'd be supah admins an shit. Neither of us have an insider bf who's admin/owner of the forum so if we do something/shit wrong, it's not like we won't get our position taken away from us.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Why isn't it relevant? Staff are expected to keep up a certain level of professionalism. There have already been enough outbursts from staff members over the past few weeks that staff are extremely concerned about adding anyone else who's likely to flame further.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Ah yes because comparing someone to a 12y old is totally flaming.

bah whatever im not even bothered, you just have to stop with this mediocrity shit about dismissing any of em based on the fact they aren't all uber happy cloud fucking morons who seem to orgasm over the simplest of FF discussions.
Just make a subsection, allow em some tiny iota of moderating abilities and get the fucking section done if your ever going to do it.

I deem this spamming/trolling and therefore thread is closed.
Ring any bells?

This.

The other candidates are suitable conduct wise, but they lack the experience to run such a section. So, we're at a stalemate, atm.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Nobodies perfect.

 

[Bex]

Should a person's digressions (flaming) really affect their competence when it comes to directing an RP section?
An RP section isn't a place where you can really flame or spoil, it just need experience and a guiding hand to be able to run it properly.

Plus that kind of mod shouldn't have any other powers except over that section, so I don't see why it matters tbh.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Because their conduct still reflects on the staff regardless of whether they only have powers in one section or across the whole board.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Well you couldn't drop any lower on my expectations already so i say go for it
Unless of course this is more an issue of a harry potter rp happening and someone letting slip that harry forgot to brush his teeth on page 72?

Seriously now it actually seems like your just making excuses.

IF
you are going to choose any of the others at least ask em decent questions to evaluate if they even know what the fuck it is they have to do to create rpb rules, rp bio rules, differences between urpg and orpg and so on.

 

[Bex]

So none of the staff have ever stepped out of line or reflected badly upon their general professionalism?

Nobody is perfect.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Like I said we've already had enough unprofessionalism we've had to deal with in the past few weeks that we don't want to take the risk of having to deal with more unless it's strictly necessary.

And the general idea among staff right now is that the forum is going to be run by discussion and consensus until everyone feels the section is solid enough to be run more hierarchically, so at least imo it doesn't really matter how much experience the RP mod has as long as they actually listen to discussions and put effort into their job.

 

[Channy]

I have to agree with the above two statements. And staff has been fairly lenient on their own staff flaming. Granted they get told to stfu but they say something in the first place that deserves a stfu. You can't keep a smile on your face 24/7 and have your farts smell of roses.

edit: oic you stated it too

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

So i still fail to see how a seperate section for RPing can thus lead to flaming, spoilers, trolling and such and generally all the reasoning your giving for the mods currently on staff not to be mods.

Face it, havin one hidden section that will consist of Rules and general judging of rpb's with two mods to run it with power over one section is hardly "making staff look bad"

 

[Ⓐaron]

Because they're still considered staff members and their conduct outside of their section still reflects on the staff regardless of where they have power?

It doesn't always work like this.
How can someone who has absolutely no experience in an RP indentify and bring a flaw in someone's post to attention?
For example, how would someone with no experience notice a power play or a godmod in a post? Discussion doesn't always bring to light these discrepencies, which ruin RP gameplay and enjoyment etc.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Just a quick question to clarify the inner workings behind this all.
Have any of the current staff actually RP'ed before or ever looked at the rules for a proper RP section?

Just out of curiosity based on the discussion and voting lark stated above.

 

[Max Payne]

If all you people are going to do is baww, bitch and moan about this shit I say we do like L originally said and not even bother.
