Epicmafia

I suggest that I be made admin as I fulfill all requirements: (a) no one knows me, (b) those who do don't like me, (c) I think I'm fantastic at this game but I'm probably not.

I was a mod on a minecraft server!

Can I take a swing at it?

recipe for corruption:

1) give someone power

2) that power comes with responsibility and unpleasantness

3) do not offer that person any reward for their services other than the power itself

it works every time folks. epicmafia mod drama is just this equation playing out in a perpetual loop

The one thing that is missing is support of the main Admin, the owner. From what I can tell, disrespect of the mods and the site have been allowed from the beginning. 3 people have told me of times where the owner overruled things and went against the mod team, which i think created a lack of regard for mods in general. Frankly this site is ruined because it would be hard to get it to any respectable standards where people behave like respectable human beings. I am certain that most of the people that cause the most problems do not act like they do in real life. Back to the mod issue-unless a full reworking of how the site works and the willingness to lose part of the community to rebuild happens, this is how it will be. The only other option is to make this a pay to play site where you can hire mods that are paid to do their job and are not players in the community. None of that will happen.

Arcbellover 10 years ago

Like that will work. It will be a popularity contest at best, not for the people best qualified. There needs to be a mixture of people that are on the forums a lot, not on the forums a lot (thus not as well known) and frequent a range of lobbies. I really think the popularity vote is not the best way. I mean look at the US Presidential Campaign. God save the Queen.

Isn't that the whole problem with the US election? It's inherently un democratic.

"Mod team needs to be replaced"

*90% of the mod team leaves and new mods join*

"great!"

*few days later*

"Mod team needs to be replaced!"

*repeats throughout the end of time*

If there's consistently discontent with the mod team mabye, just mabye it's something wrong in the selection process rather than the community. Just my 2 cents.

Current mods are 'selected' by other mods and admins based mostly on their popularity in their friend group. competency is ignored. I'm glad to hear you are also against the current system.

But with elections you would get a 'mixed' mod team, that are not a friend group. So that they cannot abuse mod/admin power since they would control and see each other's actions.
This is not true in the slightest. When I was modded I wasn't in any friend group of anyone on the mod team. I knew no-one personally on the current mod team. So this is kinda false.

Its sad that you are one of the exceptions to the rule though and not the other way around.
