Excuse me

Maybe it is not bad to nominate a particular name that is not listed in OP's list. theyoungmillionaire is really qualified to become one of the moderators in our local section. The evidence was said by pugman that theyoung have reported 16k cases of shitposting and spamming in this community. Maybe he can start moderating our local helping rickbig41 and Dabs.

But then again, theymos is the only person who will decide whether there will be an appointment of new moderators.

How is being popular a good quantifier for a position as a moderator? The least popular may be the best suited for the position. Do you give jobs based on how popular people may or may not be? No, you base them on who is more qualified.

That's what exactly I was thinking and your fingers were faster than me. Being popular means like two sides of a coin. It can be positive as well as negative. Take digaran as a example. He is very popular in the forum sometimes popular than most of the good reporters. Does it mean that he has suited for the Mod position? No. At the end of the day @theymos is the only one who decides which member/s most suited as our next Mod/s whether we liked or not. I'm pretty sure he will take the right decision but the problem is when?

Another suggestion I would like to mention is there should be "ghost mods" whose names didn't appear under their usernames. Being unnoticed is the best way to do your job seriously and without carrying a nice collection of red trust as @Jet Cash already mentioned. If my memory serves well this "ghost mod" concept is already suggested by the forum member, unfortunately, I didn't remember the name.

Agree with you. Since we are not able to see who is the best reporter, we can just present few names to theymos. So theymos will able to picked the name who is qualified ( if he want ) . I just want to show that forum member wondering for new moderators so that theymos could change his mind. You can say just remind him by this way and I believe he will consider that.

If you put @theymos at the beginning of the subject, he will answer in this thread for your and other members suggestions. Because I have seen that @iasenko has tasted the sweet taste of being answered by theymos twice by doing that little trick

Unless of course you're running for POTUS, that kind of job is currently reserved for a special kind of unqualified!

Well you've just exposed the flaw in democracy right there.

He's been reminded more than enough times about the various issues here and that includes making new moderators or at least assigning current ones to the sub boards that need them. Nothing else we can do other than hope that he gets around to it. Adding or assigning new mods requires little effort from him and the benefits will be immediate and require no further assistance from him and it's something he could do today if he really wanted so it should be made a priority. I'm sure he knows that workload needs to be distributed and he gave me the list of top reporters a couple of months ago so he just actually has to use that info now.

I mean, I had no idea that so many of our staff and DT members were ass-lickers, douchebags and motherfuckers. Thankfully, all these newbies were kind enough to enlighten me.

Don't forget rappers/rapers (ie rapists).

It's seems most of potential member's thought is same. Personally I believe theymos could consider members suggestion. So many name came out from individual members. I think voting is the best way to show popularity to theymos. At least we can try. Perhaps thread will locked today and I will pick nominated names for voting. If some one want suggest more name , feel free to write here.

We don't know about theymos think but we can try it.

Read the posts in this thread for why it isn't a good idea. How is being popular a good quantifier for a position as a moderator? The least popular may be the best suited for the position. Do you give jobs based on how popular people may or may not be? No, you base them on who is more qualified.

They gather a nice collection of red trust. There is also some surprising information in there as well. For example, I didn't know that Welsh used a hacked account.

I don't think popularity is a good measure for Mod skills. Reporting skills are a much better measure, and theymos knows that already.
During the time I was a Mod at Rollin, being a good Mod did not make me popular. If someone breaks the rules, a Mod takes Mod action, and the user blames the Mod.

Exactly my thought. If anything moderators become less popular by the masses, and are only appreciated by those that care about the forum. Otherwise, users just look to blame them. Look at all the moderators, and I can bet almost all of them have had a thread about them where a user is blaming them for an action they took on one of their posts.

What's your good report percentage? I bet it's 99 or 100, in which case having a mod re-verify your work is probably pointless.

Its 99%, but the forum rounds up.

Giving LoyceV the nuke button is a no-brainer. I think he's pretty high up in the reporting stats too, but that's not the full story. Now it goes like this: LoyceV's script catches suspects -> someone needs to verify and report them -> moderators need to review and nuke. Seems to me like cutting out the middleman (or woman) and the hassle of reporting would be a benefit.

That's what I have suggested, just cut the middle man (or women) in "Nuke chain" like block chain.

He is already willing to accept that job seriously and give this man his "Nuke button"

I now have the easy part: it's very easy to spit out hundreds of accounts that can probably be nuked. When I report them post by post I make sure I'm certain they should be nuked, but actually verifying hundreds of accounts is much more work.

I'd be interested to know what the newest staff members think about the job. Welsh is relatively new, I think, and Flying Hellfish hasn't been a mod all that long. I wonder how their experiences have been.

My experience has been fine. There's been very little interaction between myself, and theymos. I think he pointed out something in my early days, and there hasn't been any other communication regarding he moderation itself. There isn't too many restrictions, however I normally only use the nuke button when I'm absolutely sure that they deserve it. I probably am a little more lenient than a lot of people would be.

It's been fine though. I find dealing with reports therapeutic just like actively reporting was.
