Suggestion:Mod election system

deleteddeletedabout 11 years ago

We all know mods are been suggesting by the other mods etc

So what about a new system to elect new moderators A new section in the forums where all moderator applications will be posted and on those applications Epicmafia can vote on so its more fair choosing the mod for epicmafia by the players of epicmafia

So its -1 votes or +1 votes with a reason why you downvote or upvote This will highly stop mods suggesting only friends

A mod should be choosed by the players of epicmafia and not the mods themselves

Current template i thought up

Main account:(Whats your main account)

Alternate accounts:(Your alternate accounts)

Why would you be a good mod(explanition why you be a good mod)

What would you do if three poeple gets into a fight with eachother(explaining how you would handle it)

Do you have any prior experience being a mod?

Did you contribute something to the community

Your timezone:

Langauges you speak(sometimes there are games with other langauges but very uncommonly)

Age:(how old are you in real life)

HEY LOOK A TEMPLATE^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I never had to do an unpaid internship because screw that.
Unpaid internships often have a negative impact because if you did work for free once everyone assumes they can get it from you.

the community at large seems pretty spot on in what it complains about

At the end of the day this is pointless and (may or may not) change how things work. Lucid made up his mind; stop posting.

i mean, we don't see the community giving out too much about rulings that are correct, do we, kerry?

You seem to forget that for every correct violation you give; you make someone happy, as well as someone angry. And if you talk respectfully to the person you violate, you can actually make them happy, too.

People just don't do that anymore though.

i was referring to the people who are given violations, not outside of that, obviously.

one mad person with a lot of friends can easily make a recall. you don't exactly make a lot of friends when giving out violations as a mod, do you?
Well, I did...

mods who aren't doing badly are going to be struck down too because people get mad when they are given a correct violation.

there will be more mod circlejerks than ever thanks to a community vote - something you had an issue with but ignore the bigger impact of this when/if it's implemented.
arguably, sure. guess u gotta kinda have faith in the overall intelligence of the community. i'd say it's probably up to par tho

if lucid has the right mentality
key word being if.
How about we trust the person that made this site in the first place?
believe it or not I'm actually not inclined to think that someone who pokes his head into this community briefly once every eon knows what's best for it. certainly not better than people who have been persistent, key members of it for long periods of time
Aha, so would you rather trust the members of the community for electing mods, or the owner of the actual site and community? That's the key question for now
lucid isn't picking mods right now so I'm not sure why you're framing it like that.
But can you answer the question is the thing. I feel that I trust both the community and lucid, but you're saying the community votes won't affect anything (which it will), and having lucid decide the mods is untrustable (which I would trust considering he's owned this thing, so he's been here from the beginning)

It doesn't really matter if this increases or decreases "us vs them" mentality because the community wants it, the community is the site, mods are just the internet equivalent of highschool dropouts plying a living by cleaning up vomit with sawdust.
Without pay
its not really "plying a living" when we dont get paid and yet still get attacked for every little thing we do regardless of whether we're right or not

but sure, mods are sods, whatever
EM is good preparation for your real life then.

One mad person does not make a recall.

Also; what Braixen says. Since when has the lack of pay ever been even remotely relevant? What do you expect here?

You apply for mod to help out, not for pay, so why complain about having no pay?? I mean, I applied to help out, I wasn't expecting money in any way. >.>

No one forces anyone to take part in such brutal work. If someone doesn't like it, then it is extremely easy to quit.

You could always make modding pay. Those report verdicts are empty space just screaming to be using for advertising purposes. Why haven't you used it to advertise your start-up home business?!
