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^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you want to fix the mod system. Find a way to lower mod turnover rate, not raise it. That's all I'm going to say about this.

came to think of this http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/steamrep-moderator-application-updated-5-13-15.13213/

obviously it's not something you can just copy-paste but a good 10-12 things seem like they could work here

also http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/duties-of-steamrep-moderators-please-read.13212/ could potentially be a thing so ppl are aware what they're signing up for

It's not like voting can be rigged or anything
Its not like the mods are rigged or something
Voting for mods is going to make the make the mod quality drop.
And picking mods is going to make the mod quality drop, too. The candidate quality has been dropping for years; no matter how you pick.

There just ain't a Solaster hidden under the rock these days.

I think we should elect mods.
Mods choosing other mods leads to a never ending circle of power abuse.

i mean in all seriousness asking questions isn't gonna get better mods, the best idea that ever came to the mod team was by Arcbell, and that's trial mods. You guys shot him down and belittled him for months, when infact his system if implemented with better test dummies could've worked.

Can safely say the languages issue is utterly irrelevant to modding; and that in three years I probably had to read three games in foreign languages, all of which allowed for a quick google translate.

People getting modded and unbanned is already a popularity contest, Zwink. The mods are incapable of decision making without community flow. It won't make a difference if there's an election system implemented.
maybe this way though it won't just be a mod circle of bffs.

The current mod system has been dying off for years anyway. Revolutionising the whole thing might just be the thing that finally rescues it.

It's a popularity contest either way, so ehhh.
exactly, so why not automate it and just have 2-3 admin positions overseeing the process
my point was why not give it a shot since its a popularity contest either way.

Also, if you could fix the round 310 trophies that would be lovely. :3 thanks.
