Now in bold!

As for new mods, I'm very much in favor for that. I was in IRC with Yop and Ryu and I suggested Omega and Brooke, but I see GLD came up (which is an excellent and obvious choice) and Kat, and I would second Octo in a heartbeat. Dacon used to be a mod but gave it up, so I'd just presumed you didn't want to be a mod any more (a decision I respect) but if you'd want back in (same for you, MOG) I think that would be excellent and I support it 100%.

Spoiler: ...and then there was some rant

IMO it has to be someone who goes along fairly well with everyone, and especially has regular contact with the members of the board who are less positive to the current mod team. I also think it should be a person who generally has respect for most of the member base - even if this person can be fed up with some of the other members (because of old conflicts or deep arguments or w/e) this person still has to like people. This person has to be interested in people, interested in their opinions and yeah, interested in the voices in a conflict - not in a drama lovin' type of attitude, but as in a person who likes people and understand there can be different opinions and sides to a conflict. But this person also has to be able to 'cut through' and take a stand - and also be able to not be afraid to make mistakes; as in not be afraid to moderate their own opinion if new information is given, and also be able to say 'you're right, sorry'.

I think there are some great unsharpened diamonds (don't get me wrong, I don't mean to say they're totally useless or anything) in our member base who would do excellent if they were given some trust.

I still stand by nominating Omega even though he thinks I'm a lunatic for it

Given the good conversation in the sauced thread I also want to add Tifabelle.

 

[Madame Mayor]

I would love for Tifabelle to be considered. She's very nice and isn't afraid to call people out. I respect her for that.

Brooke

I'm glad somebody else said that.

Brooke and Tifabelle get my votes.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

I dunno Tifabelle that well but she a'ight.

So yeah Tifabelle

 

[Madame Mayor]

btw I feel obligated to thank all you people saying you want me because it's so nice and actual proud/happy feeeeeeeelings


i love you guys

even if I don't become a mod I just actually love you guys

 

[Zee]

Brooke is my numero uno

Belle is another great choice though

 

[Tifabelle]

I'm legitimately shocked. I honestly don't even know how to react to that. XD

I stand by my vote for Brooke. If I could vote for her twice, I would

And I stand by my vote for Dacon, if he is interested in going back. if you read this dac, let us know your thoughts.

 

[Flintlock]

Honest question: do we really need more staff members? Okay, another one: if so, why?

I thought we had plenty already. Unless half of them have abandoned ship in the few days I've been away from the forum.

 

[Joker]

Apparently they have.

I'd just like to bring something up. I had asked in the other thread, but I don't think anyone noticed. I think it's a great idea to have a vote for new staff member(s). I'd also like to consider voting on current staff as well. That's not to say that should a mod not pass the vote that it would result in an immediate or automatic de-modding, but I'd like the discussion to be open amongst the community in regards to it. I think whatever results come from it can garner a serious discussion where people can explain why they feel one way or the other, and we can come to a decision as a group should the need arise.

Thoughts?

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Agree wholeheartedly with this^

 

[Lord Noctis]

GLD is a good pic. If possible it would be awesome to get MOG back on staff as well.

 

[Octo]

I wouldn't object to that either. (both what Noctis just said and what Belle suggested)

That sounds a lot like the staff reviews we started having after the issues with TLS's hosting. The last one we had was sometime around....March, if I recall correctly? And then before that, December?

I'm not sure what the time table was for these but the current review system we started seems to be what you're brainstorming. I figure the best thing to do would be to continue utilizing that, since we've come up with that idea already in the past.

 

[Joker]

But they don't seem to have done any good...

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

"Im sorry, I'll try do to better."


Sound familiar?

 

[Celes Chere]

I would really like it if Brooke were on staff, I think Mog should come back too tbh. But I know both of these people are very busy people. ='( Still though, they are great.

AND TONY!

Tifabelle.

YEAH. Kripey should be on staff because she isn't biased at all, she tells me all the time when I'm being a derp because she's RUDE.

Yeah I feel as if very little came from it. (and I think we all agreed that the first one was completely ignored and forgotten). A lot of things weren't even addressed by staff. Some staff never even replied. I think this would be a good way to get an accurate gauge on the community's feelings as a whole. It would be a better and fresher perspective on it.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

For all future conversations Kripey is now tiff.
That is all.

I'm the master of copy pasta

1. Dacon. Wasn't he mod before? Why isn't he anymore? He strikes me as the kind of person who would be willing to tell it how it is, to be fair and willing to do the hard things, is personable enough on the forum to do these things without causing bad blood, open enough for a member to contact, and not the type to be overly secretive or give the vibe that he's in it for the mods rather than the members. He's a constant forum presence, and for the better imo.

2. Brooke: because everyone loves her and sometimes you need a person like that, someone who is great at mediating between two groups of people and is always looking to make other people's experience on the forum better. Didn't she win "most helpful member" award? That's awesome, especially for newer or shy members who might feel intimidated by the staff.

Also she did the "TLS Secret Santa" and yeah, it isn't the most difficult or complex contest, but it's tedious and time consuming and I know a lot of members who wouldn't be arsed or just mysteriously "disappear" during that time. If people are willing to take the initiative to start these projects for no reward- just to make the forum a more fun experience for everyone, yeah, they would make a great mod.

Also, extra requirement: must love tentacles.
