I guess you meant 'staff'...

of course, thank you, edited already  Cheesy

I did that post for the OP...

Thank you mate, as always helpful info, really appreciate

All global moderators and administrators have access to the Polish section, so any of them can handle reports from this section...

Please read this thread, we have explained why mod in local section is very useful and should be able to speak this language to moderate correctly, as for example to merge topics but not only, marketplace offers, and common discussions can be understood wrongly or not moderated at all if mod is not native

when it comes to simple deletions of course reports should do the job you are correct


One more time thank you for all comments I am closing this topic now

You are not quite correct in saying that the Polish section has no moderator. The Polish section currently has five moderators. There are three global moderators and two administrators who can handle reports on the entire forum, including the Polish section.

Thanks for clarifying. Personally, I thought that with the absence of the previous mod (malevolent) any reports are not processed.
Out of curiosity, is there any particular person out of those 5 that is responsible for handling reports from the Polish board, or can any of them pick them up? And how do they deal with them exactly? Do they rely on google translate etc?

I only wanted to add that there are some local moderators who can be assigned with extra boards even they are not global moderators.

Of course it is possible to appoint a simple moderator as well. There would be a desire, as they say. But I think that here we are talking exactly about having a Polish-speaking moderator in the section. Although I personally don't see any problems in terms of language barrier. But, if forum users from the Polish section really want to have a moderator in their section and they are satisfied with a non-Polish-speaking moderator, they can ask to appoint a moderator for their section from the current moderators.

You're quoting my post that says pretty much the same thing you wrote. You probably didn't pay attention to who you were quoting. I know that, I don't need to explain it. You are quoting me and at the same time mention me in the third person. That's funny Smiley

I did that post for the OP, not for you. I thought to add (you) after your name but if it is like that, the post will be for you, which is not. So I did not add that part and it leads to misunderstanding.

They have rights to moderate the forum globally and different than local moderators who only moderate their local boards except if they get extra assignments to moderate some other boards. Examples are Welsh and Xal0lex (maybe more).

From some time I think to close this thread because looks like this is not the correct way to get @Theymos attention or this is not not so important for the forum staff that we don't get moderation in our local board or to say more straight Polish local forum members are not worth a single comment or attention despite we ask for it from so long time, even united we have no power to ring the bell so loud to make the right people hear it.

I find your lack of faith in Bitcoin disturbing.

but as we can see there is no comment from stuff

I guess you meant 'staff'.

The other mods don't get too involved in this kind of topic, because in the end it's Theymos who has all the information and who decides.
There isn't a single process to follow to become a moderator. If every mods told their story about how they became a mod, there would be differences.

The best advice I can give is that members of the polish section should show that there is a lack of mod in that section by reporting. After that, who the moderator will be is secondary.
Another thing you can keep an eye on is the number of unhandled reports. I was appointed moderator in July 2018, traffic and situation was not the same (ICO craze) as it is today :
Period Dec 17 - Jan 16 2018. In this period, 20342 reports handled as good, 1433 handled as bad, 1482 unhandled.
Period Jan 16 - Feb 15 2018. In this period, 20764 reports handled as good, 1517 handled as bad, 2207 unhandled.
Period Feb 15 - Mar 17 2018. In this period, 15516 reports handled as good, 1487 handled as bad, 3698 unhandled.
Period Mar 17 - Apr 16 2018. In this period, 17700 reports handled as good, 1184 handled as bad, 4093 unhandled.
Period Apr 16 - May 16 2018. In this period, 19593 reports handled as good, 1627 handled as bad, 729 unhandled.
Period May 16 - Jun 15 2018. In this period, 21465 reports handled as good, 1499 handled as bad, 996 unhandled.
Period Jun 15 - Jul 15 2018. In this period, 29221 reports handled as good, 1542 handled as bad, 774 unhandled.

The latest figure on unhandled reports is 93, which is very very low. If I put myself in Theymos' shoes, I would say there is no need for a new mod, at the moment, whatever the section.

(This is my personal opinion, not an official message)

Thank you for all comments, vouches and overall support in this discussion.

From some time I think to close this thread because looks like this is not the correct way to get @Theymos attention or this is not not so important for the forum staff that we don't get moderation in our local board or to say more straight Polish local forum members are not worth a single comment or attention despite we ask for it from so long time, even united we have no power to ring the bell so loud to make the right people hear it.

Polish local board members encourage me to keep it open but as we can see there is no comment from staff and for sure my candidacy for mod will not be approved that way, so one more time thank you all for support, I will close this thread after 24h. I will leave the possibility to comment and leave some final thoughts if somebody wants to.

Siga sempre em frente! always move forward!
If you were elected by the people on the local board, nothing fairer than having the chance to be a moderator, a good user elected by everyone, that's very good and a very positive fact in my opinion, that's why I support your candidacy and I wish you good luck.

Certainly if your moderation is bad, the same people who placed trust in you will be the first to complain.

You deserve a vote of credibility and a chance to get the job done.

As an active member of the Polish board, I'm just popping in to express my support for wwzsocki's application for mod's position (+ hopefully a merit source)

I don't know if there is such a function as a local moderator, because in this thread the idea is not for wwzsocki to become a global official moderator, but only to be able to moderate our small backyard where a dozen or so users are active. nothing more. And it is only to do so temporarily until our current moderator returns. Do you really idealize this function so much that you demand from a candidate to be whiter than paper? Candidate chosen by the community for which he is about to do this function.
This. We only need someone with mod's privileges for our local board only. So hopefully this is not asking for too much.

Just to recap - wwzsocki was nominated by our small community and encouraged to create this application thread, it's not like some power hungry dude just wanting to become a mod out of the blue. Hopefully @theymos will see this topic and will give it a fair consideration.

since this is about the succession of malevolent and he was already removed as a moderator in the polish board, he should also be removed in the following boards, where he was also active as a moderator:
because he is still listed there

I don't know many Polish members, but I sure know wwzsocki is a perfect fit for a moderator and a merit source, nice level-headed guy. Good luck.

Call your grandparents and tell them you love them
3k reports? Wow, I got something like 1.7k and that too with a number of bad reports, though I have been less active in the last 4years due to work.
Seems like their previous mod has been inactive and I hope they are well, keeping the negative thoughts aside.

For support as an upcoming mod position if possible, OP has my support. Have known them from posts over the years specially from the Envion ICO fiasco which is still running its convoluted legal stuff. Helpful and knowledgeable indeed and elder member of this forum who should be able to make time for such a position.

...Good point. @Wwzsocki, from what I remember, you used to report a lot?

I think, done 3K reports already with 99% success rate

...I have done more then 3000 reports with 99% success rate, received good feedback from others and am DT1 most of the time, also between most recognized members in Polish board, active there frequently...

I haven't checked my stats for a while, here are they:



exactly 3063 reports with 100% accuracy, I am surprised myself  Shocked

If I were the admin of this forum there is no doubt I would accept your application for being Polish Local Board Moderator due to the accuracy of your reports, which I consider as your resume that definitely requirement for applying.

Of course just in case I'm the admin here I have some questions for you: Would you consider this post as signature spam, like posting this just to meet the signature quota? 😂 JK Good Luck for your application!

Looks like we have very small or even no chance in such circumstances,

hopefully this thread will at least attract attention of some "global moderator" and he will take care of our local section,

as @Rikaflip mentioned it can be indeed sufficient if we got such support from one of global mods from now.
Your chances remain - they will become even greater if global mod are no longer able to handle thousands of reports from the section every month. But if your local board doesn't have a lot of spam or other reports that require global mod to give up - then your chances are very low.

Right now - I'm not sure if you can force admin to add moderators or replace any of those who are no longer active, but it might be an option to consider if admin feel your local board needs stricter moderation.

I want to say "thank you" for all comments left in this thread, I really appreciate your input and vouches

...we lost local mod back in (afaik) 2018 and never got a replacement despite being an active board, probably because we have very little spam and global mod had no issues handling it...

i mean the polish board, if you look at the statistics, is very clear (in terms of activity and number of users) so the new moderator would not be overwhelmed with numerous 'assignments'
This might be one of the reasons why it could take some time for you to get replacement for your inactive local mod. The more active local board is and the more spam there is, chances for you getting replecament mod will be higher.
At least that was the experience in our local board (Croatian) as we lost local mod back in (afaik) 2018 and never got a replacement despite being an active board, probably because we have very little spam and global mod had no issues handling it.

With that being said, I hope wwzsocki's applications gets approved!

malevolent was inactive as a moderator and a local merit source. If a new moderator for Polish board is assigned, it can come together with a new merit source as well.

pawel7777 requested for a new Polish merit source in 2023.
