Dear fellow plebians, scumlords, mafiosos, and commoners of Epic Mafia. IT is time we take a look at our mod criteria and reexamine what should truly be the requirements for the ideal moderator out here on these streets.
IMO here is what I think the perfect/ideal candidate for mod should be. Below you can post what you think.
Moderators should not be over the age of 18.Why? Because people who are younger have more free time therefore they can spend more of their day doing the reports accurately. Those who are older tend to work more quickly therefore rushing through reports and making mistakes here and there. Younger folks will care more about the job than older ones since older people have a life outside of Epic Mafia whereas younger players do not.
Moderators should not be ex-cheaters.Why? Because younger players strive to be moderators one day. And by allowing ex-cheaters to become moderators, you are giving the message to our youth and next generation of mafia players that cheating is socially acceptable. When really, it's frowned up by society.
Moderators should have negative win ratios.Why? Because those with positive win rations are deemed as good players and treated like celebrities when really they're not. They become egotistical and treat lesser players like crap. Those with negative win ratios do not do this. They treat everyone equal like how they deserve to be treated. Therefore the ideal moderator should have a negative win ratio and be a mediocre player.
Moderators should be members for at least 3 years.Why? You don't deserve to be Moderator if you haven't been through Epic Mafia's ups and downs. If you don't truly know the history of this site and how things were back in the past. Just like how George Bush knew Americans past, Moderators should know Epic Mafia's past.
Moderators should hold campaigns and be elected by the members through an election system.Why? Because for one, it would make things more interesting. And two, it's only fair that moderators be elected by the members and not appointed by the admin. The members may make a better decision at picking our mods than one admin would. Especially, since that one admin is one person. It's as they say, two heads are better than one!
Moderators should take an IQ test.Why? I believe that all moderators should have a minimum IQ of 110. We don't want idiots running the site. We want intelligent youth running our site and handling our reports. Only intelligent people can make smart decisions as to how to effectively handle site moderation.
damn, dude. you're so right. my ten year old son is crying right now because i haven't fed him in eight days because i've been wasting my life away on epicmafia.com
It's not like we have to count on a single moderator. We have many others. If one moderator has a problem and needs to retire for a while, we can easily replace that moderator temporarily or just let the others handle it.
Having a clean record means nothing. We are not giving the mod status to a cheater just because (s)he cheated, so it's not really "rewarding". People with bad driving records are not rewarded with lower insurance because that would be more expensive to the company; Giving a cheater mod status won't increase the expenses for Epicmafia.
Yes, that's my life if something goes wrong. Heart surgeries can fail, and the experience of the doctor plays a minor role here as each doctor has probably assisted in hundreds (maybe thousands) of surgeries before leading one.
Moderators through an election are not fun for me though. Why are you trying to ruin my fun?
