Topic: Q: Should Lauda *really* be a moderator of bitcointalk A: no - page 24. (Read 43401 times)

Lauda is fine,would be a pretty boring forum if all mods where the same,can we get a more crazy mod to balance out the gang though?
Say Gleb or a troll like member,might make things interesting.

i mean lauda for marketplace mod, not me

Hm, I would. Up he goes.

Vote whywefight - for an all greyed out marketplace!
You'd overkill them, mate.

I would be cool with marketplace mod also.

I wouldn't straight up jump on that, but if there ever occurs a time when Cyrus is off for a certain period of time Lauda should be promoted to Mod of Marketplace. Something similar to how BitRent was promoted to staff

Q: Should Lauda *really* be a moderator of bitcointalk
A: no, he should be a global mod

Sure.

Edit:

Better pictures below. Don't mind the little cat over here!

did not know it was female, do we have pictures

Do you have examples for these or is it your opinion based on feelings?

I have encountered a much meaner mod here in the forum and as the others have alreadysaid, Lauda is one of the most reasonable one to handle reports. If you cannot accept how they are handling things in here then go, they are given that position because they deserve to.

Lauda is the mod this forum deserves, OP.
edit:
Helpful mod replies:
The beatings will continue until morale improves

The only thing to see here is that the OP is clearly an aggravating twat operating a sock-puppet account.

Lauda is one of most helpful staff members here on BTT and i bet this attack on him is just one more "competition" attacks from that other forum and ppl who support that other forum.

nothing to see here, move along

My answer would be, definitely Yes and his one of the well deserved moderators here. I've contacting him couple of times (using my main account), and he never failed to assist me whenever I had a concern and his pretty much active as well (unlike some other moderators that I barely feel their presence anymore). Each moderator has, a way of handling stuff differently (human nature). Explaining things in a friendly way is something that many of users tend to abuse it and as result, never improve so personally what his doing, IMO is the right thing instead. FYI his not power hungry (try to look at situation in a neutral way, instead of your point of view).

Thanks. I try to.

Frequent reporters are usually aware of who handles (at least) some of their posts.

I may or may not be.

Thank you, I try my best at achieving such a mindset.

You could only know this if you were my alt, don't deny it liar!

We will talk.

Okay, I'll do this only once. OP I'd like to see examples of badly handled reports, power abuse and whatnot. I feel like my work is pretty consistent and when I'm not sure I ask (e.g. the whitelisting thread). If there are bad traits, then I could definitely improve. Let's see.

You handled my report the other minute, I was waiting on/expecting Cyrus to do.
I noticed, hence you're not that ninja, buddy.

---

Not so thankless after all, I'm pretty much the sad star in a theatre played over at the Reputation board.

---

Was talking about Mitchell not being a ninja, because I noticed him handling the report.
We all know Cyrus is as ninja as it gets.

Well I guess its the same with DT. Pretty thankless "job" , both of them. At least you guys get rewarded for your efforts

He is a ninja alright. Reported this a minute or so, ago, and its handled already
Reported this thread around a minute ago and its handled already

Hahahahaha. Lauda a female? I would love to see that mate! Assuming that someone's username is their first name is pretty stupid. Anyway, I vote to keep Lauda a moderator as I know he  handle reports correctly and if he doesn't know how to handle them, he asks within the staff team.

Well, it depends on the context of the whole post. If you make a thread with a link to a site filled with referral links, yeah, it's most likely getting trashed. It's all about context.

Also, I now know how Cyrus felt as a ninja-mod. It seems that people don't know that I handle shitloads of reports and even send out PM's with information about my actions. Ah wel, I am a strong independent moderator and I need no appreciation!

Nope. You seem to be the only person butthurt by his way of looking at things.
Thats what a moderator is supposed to do
He does. Also I think you meant implement here. From what I've seen , he is the only person constantly active throughout the day in handling the reports(after Cyrus perhaps, but he is a Global moderator and has to handle reports from every board he can)
What does that have anything to do with moderating? He is posting as he would normally do, while moderating the newbs and the Croatian board in the background. Also you expect a person to explain something in baby-steps every time someone asks for an explanation? You're likely thinking of moderators as support group, which they are not

---

Yeah right   . Help the community for more than 2 years and nobody says a thing. Get promoted to staff after being asked to, and you're suddenly power hungry

Its quite cute that you think a bunch of people's opinion are enough to get one removed from a position in staff. That is even if you do get any support for your claims

Once again, how do you know? And no, he does review every one of the reports from what I know
No moderators have different opinions as to when they consider something spam. For example, Mitchell and -ck are of the opinion that continuous promotion of custom faucet rotators which have ref link in every link, are to be considered "Ref spam". While Cyrus is quite tolerable about it, and hilariousandco does not consider it as ref spam at all(from what I know)

At any rate, which instance are you talking about where Lauda has misused his power?

Because there are times only a certain moderator is active, when I submit my reports and they are acted upon by Lauda. And the only other person who is constantly active as him in moderating is Cyrus.

You're making baseless claims against someone who you have no clue about. Now that is when I "I would question your ethics and appropriateness to be trusted." . Not that I would trust you anyway

Also just to be clear, Lauda is a guy. From what I know, it was a moderator who recommended the name or something

That is exactly the first thing I say to someone if they disagree with my accusation against someone /sarcasm

Concurred

P.S: And no I'm neither Lutpin's nor Lauda's alt/shill , but I am familiar with both to entrust them

Also seriously, you expect people to believe that your account hasn't changed hands?

Lauda is one of the most reasonable people on this forum. You, on the other hand, are unreasonably upset because you asked a question and didn't like the answer. Motion denied.
