Moderator Reorganization
- Thread starter ainwood
- Start date
All good points. A mod has the choice of closing the thread, or splitting the discussion off and moving it to OT. On the times we do split and move it, we should be putting a link to the new thread in the old thread. Now, this is up to the mod, and it depends on their mood, how many posts are OT, and probably how many times they've recently split stuff off. If you're told to take the discussion to OT, it wouldn't be unacceptable to start a new thread there.

Here's an Example on the TC Forums. My last post was a request to the mods to split my posts to the plugin Forums.
The thread it was split from - shows where the split thread is. And the newly created thread shows the Topic where it originated from.

Spam is at this point relative.
e.g. you can't discuss the sense of a feature without discussing the background of the feature, that doesn't work.
You are sure right, but this also depends on the discussion.
e.g. i would not cut out any Hitler discussion. We had tons of them, and it will only end in a fight -> it's not worth it.
Additionally it would need some clustered posts, with which the new thread could have a good start, and this is also not the case for many OT discussions.

I like the level of moderation. It keeps CIV discussions, well, civilized. The one thing that has been bugging me in recent months has been two members, who shall remain unnamed, who for quite a while were posting heavily and hijacking every thread they entered to continue the same argument. Although the original thread topic was of interest, I would have enjoyed reading and contributing to, once these guys started up, I avoided those threads. When I inadvertently opened one of those after time had passed, pretty much all that was there was these two arguing. Obviously, most others had the same reaction as I had. I think that this sort of thing should lead to a moderator warning to such people.

Keep in mind that spam - posts not related to the thread topic - is something that you can report. Moderators don't have time to read every single post in their assigned area. Often the only way we know about troublesome posts is when they are reported to us.

In the time I've been posting here, I've seen perhaps three or four instances of moderator action. Other forums I frequent have far more moderator action than this one does.

The is due to the civilized C3C conquest players, where you are roaming. As I learned, the off topic area is a war zone.
