IMPORTANT: New Admins, Senior Moderators, and more

[Godwynn]

I look forward to sharing many infractions, points, and warnings with you all.

Moderating is not hard, per se. Probably the hardest part is simply putting personal biases aside, and doing what is right for the site. The volume can get one down, though. When I joined this site, we had just over 7000 members. We now have more than 20 times that number, yet the increase in mods has been negligible.

The sheer size of the site is what led us to internal discussions about numbers and types of mods (and admins). Nearly all the current mods are now, or soon will be, Senior Moderators, with global powers. As new mods are brought on board, they will be mentored, and taught how we want things done, so they can eventually step into Senior roles.

It is possible that there will occasionally be some "mini-mods", with reduced/restricted powers and authority, to help with specific tasks, such as the MTDG forums.

How many users actually come here on a regular basis though? How many typically online at once? Total registered users doesn't matter if most of them have gone away (and they have )

I for one welcome our new insect overlords.

You beat me to it.

Congratulations to all.

 

[LucyDuke]

Oh, hey, keep up that not infracting me, please, okay guys?

Much love.

I'm confused...

Senior mods, mini-mods, epic mods, scenarios...

Too late. You can join the existing one though, for a nominal* fee.
Well done to all. The site is great.

[RoboPig]

I would like to point out that a coup has been attempted in the past.
Be careful Thunderfall!

 

[Padma]

Ah, but if you knew xeven, you knew he didn't stand a chance. And CornMaster squashed him less than 2.5 hrs later. TF didn't even have to lift a finger.

The only real coup was this one:

After the April Fools joke.

oh god that was great. Great idea, just don't do it when I'm here

 

[classical_hero]

The April Fool's Joke was certainly a good one. Not everyone feel for it, which actually gave some of us reason to spam the forums and get away with it. But now with more mods around the opportunity to spam diminishes.

 

[azzaman333]

Clever spam will still succeed.

Unfortunately, my spam doesn't fall into that category

 

[CivOtaku]

Congratulations to all! (I know, i sound like everybody else, just posting to raise my postcount and stuff...(alltough i'm not really doing that, i'm really happy for you!)) I just wonder if they try to replace thunderfall...

 

[burlicconi]

Good luck guys, hope that your favourite civic is free speech

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

But Thunderfall, are you sure Padma and ainwood won't overthrow you in a massive CFC leadership struggle with their new admin powers?

There is still the CFC Secret Ministry of Internal Security.

I was not here. I did not post this.

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

But you do know what they say, don't you? "When the cat's away, the programmer's will play!".

Not: "...logic bomb away!"?

I was not here. I did not post this.

I did not see that post. That post does not exist nor come from that grey nondiscript building.

Nice, the mods are spamming.
