Topic: Who is able and willing to moderate the Politics & Society section? - page 2. (Read 2864 times)

I'm sure theymos will take into consideration several factors but a poll for these sort of things would largely be useless. It would just turn into a popularity contest and the person with the most alts or "friends" would win. In addition to a moderator I think he should seriously consider discounting posts in that section because otherwise there's just going to be too much workload. Without changes people will just continue to abuse that board day after day with shitposts but if there's no benefit to them most will stop posting rubbish in there.

So can we have some sort of official voting, not a poll, about this instead of dragging this thread any longer? I vote for hellfish just like most people did and I think at this point, theymos should pick him as he is willing to do it.

A child like you should not be given any responsibility, any chance of you being entrusted with anything on this forum, is now slimmer than none. Just look at the utter BS that you have pooped out here derailing the whole thread from what it was intended to be.

And now, you've earned your rightful place in my ignore list. Good luck.

It's evident that FlyingHellfish is the most appropriate for the job. It shows in the reports and to have that many reports just in that sub forum is quite impressive. I don't think Vod has enough time to commit to become a moderator and doubt he would be willing to ignore scams from the point of view of a moderator.

I was going to read every single post in every single thread one by one and day after another. not to wait for the reports.
All I wanted was for something more than one obvious candidate just because of the reported posts.
I wouldn't want to report in any section without a dedicated mod. it's not your job as a global mod to handle those reports.
But hey, if you let me to continue, I could bring it down to having a free mod not just for P & S but for the whole forum.
Thank you for your honest opinion. I have no objection.

Showing signs of entitlement isn't really the best way to go about this. If you aren't willing to put in the effort of clarifying why you are reporting and given a detailed description and reference any past reports then you can't expect the moderators to either. 


There we have it boys and girls theymos is the second coming of our Saviour Satoshi Nakamoto Jesus Christ. Although, I would prefer if his touch would turn spam posts into good content, but I guess we can't have everything.

By the way, the only argument you could probably make about buying copper membership when you are already of sufficient rank other than supporting the forum is that someone seeks status and likes to 'show off'. I wouldn't say it's embarrassing.

Don't you just hate it when forum staff have a personal vendetta against you? Honestly, they have better things to do.

Forum staff aren't employees that you keep implying they are. They don't need to be on good behavior and show the "customer is always right" and they aren't governed by strict policies on how to deal with certain scenarios or how much time they need to spend on the forum. What you do expect from them is a level head when moderating and to show as little bias as possible when moderating. They can show as much bias as they want if it's not related to their role as a member of staff and they can have less popular opinions. This isn't a job application rather it's a position which is available to those who can give up their spare time in order to better the forum.

I get it you like a debate, but hilariousandco was referring to moderation and from what I can gather from past moderators is there isn't a policy rather guidelines which the moderators can follow but, ultimately they use their discretion when handling forum issues.

You could argue that the only goal theymos has for the forum is providing a platform for people to have discussions about Bitcoin & cryptocurrency without censorship as evidenced by him taking up the role of admin and showing a desire to work towards these goals through fair moderation.


Well, theymos did actually ask everyone to discuss those who apply here.

But here's the thing: I usually don't understand fully what you're trying to say at all and your genuine intent is lost in a load of incoherent waffle. You also seem to like to put words in people's mouths.


He's not my friend and I don't believe I've ever had interactions with him before. I wouldn't have suggested him at all had I not seen the table of reports but all I care about is someone who has displayed that they are willing to put in the work and would do a good job gets the position. You seem to be overly preoccupied with payment and this is the wrong way to look at it and is probably all that you care about at that end of the day. Whoever moderates that section will get a max payment of around $500 so nobody is going to be getting a 'full time salary' whoever gets it.


No, this is what you and your biases and paranoia see because you're seeing something that isn't there. Most people who can look at this objectively would see that he's a far better candidate than you for several reasons. The fact that he has reported the most posts in that section is the most obvious indicator. You seemingly haven't even reported a single post in there prior to this thread so why would you be qualified? And as I said before, you also come across like a troll and I don't think we should be having a troll on Staff.



Yeah, you have freedom of speech but that doesn't mean you should act like an arse. And you could have contributed in reports. That is the biggest factor staff look at when choosing mods. If you're not willing to put in the work reporting there we shouldn't just be giving the position out based on people who say they'll do a good job as long as they get paid for it.



Again, more paranoia. The only person who likely feels threatened here is you. This is a discussion about who should be a best fit to moderate Politics and that's what we're discussing. I guess you just don't like the way it's going and are getting irate because there's money on the line for you.


How can you know what he wants? You just seem to be making things up based on what you think he wants. If theymos wanted something he would ask or tell me. If he doesn't then I don't know what he really wants other than to assume to let things continue as they are until further notice.


Sources?

World without a leader?

Is that the reason you would tag people? so that they could go learn some skills to earn money? if I go, what would you do? earn money, share alia and keep looking down on people. I wouldn't go now that you told me to.


Avoid showing my signature in a row. I meant that.


So? if they are not earning any money here by spending their time, they don't need the money, I do.

Just because you are mad at the negative trust does not mean that you can stumble into these threads and derail the conversation.

Theymos, have you come to a decision about the moderator you're picking?

Maybe he was LOL, who the hell knows!  He is a little hard to follow sometimes!!!   

Double posting? As in, posting twice in a row? You do know that rule persists across all accounts, right?

A number of users that have done well for the forum without having been paid: Vod, Timelord2067, NLNico

Go learn some skills that can be applied online. Then work remotely and use that money to help the orphans.

To avoid double posting. master don't tag that idiot. he's harmless.


Not as many detectives. they have enough money, spending their time on moderating the forum for free would be a contribution. how many of them are here trying to volunteer?


It is literally a life changing opportunity for me. I could keep my possessions and become a mod to have a better chance at helping other people. I'm following what Jesus asked, I'm trying to do better than that. in my country there is a charity programme. you could pay $10 monthly to adopt an orphan without having them to live with you. there is a chance for me to adopt a few of them and watch them grow. inspired by humble Joe.


What I did was to show you that I'm not afraid of using profanity. I was also saying that a moderator should be polite and respect everybody equally. this is the interwebz and anybody could read our posts. I would use the same language anywhere as long as it's appropriate. I wouldn't use profanity if I was a mod. me personally.


Not my decision. I did give my reasons. as an applicant and a forum member.


You doubted yourself and then gave your reasons. responsible and trusted is not good enough. if you know that you don't have a chance and apply, you are a selfish individual. king Silent26 the third. lol.

What cartels?

Maybe when you're trying to use analogies you want to explain the metaphors.

But the problem is when they don't contribute. When they spam. And I don't think the primary focus should be to earn money. It's disingenuous.

And? Ass-kissing doesn't help your "application".

Why? I paid for the membership to support the forum. I should be allowed to show it.

Damn I thought "flying hellfish" was actually some kind of fish and he was trying to insult me by calling me a flying hellfish.
Nice to meet you Mr L.D.A.L.A.F 
I am Captain Squat-a-lot.

I mean I could waste a lot of time responding to Digaran and I did respond to him at the beginning a couple of times.  In reality anything I could write about him would only ever be half as good as just letting him runaway with his imagination and his own post button!!!  

I actually find a bunch of his insults funny, my favourite so far has to be being called a "limp dick acting like a fish".  I mean i laughed, its the interwebz I'm not offended by any of it!  I do have to remind myself of that from time to time and this thread was just such an occasion.

Keep em coming Diga I love to read your posts in this thread!


Signed,
Limp dick acting like a fish

First of all, I'm not suckin anyone. It is my opinion and my suggestion.
So it means anyone is permitted to post their application as long as they are interested. And that's the reason why I posted here trying my luck, because I'm interested.

Please don't stop me to do things on how I respect others. If you hate calling somebody Sir/Ma'am then you are free to call them whatever you want.

Master huh? Interesting..
I vote those 5 members because they are the top 5 members I knew who were capable of moderating the society and politics section. But as we can see in their feedbacks, looks like they're not interested at all that's why I decided to volunteer myself
Yes you were also right, I don't have enough knowledge to be a moderator but, I would like to use this opportunity to learn more. I know that I won't fit to be a mod at first but as long as I learn,  I will be fit for the job for sure.

But don't worry Sir, if you think that I'm not really eligible to be a mod. Then I will stop barking around
By the way thank you for your feedback.

The second? What do you mean? Having a CAPITALISED "SIR" before my username makes me think that looks like you're addressing me with something.

It has been brought down to be a playing field for cartels. you are one of the members of one of the cartels. and this forum shouldn't be a place for people to earn money by participating in bounty campaigns with multiple accounts. if they use only one account and also contribute, why not? I meant it that way.


Don't you know? it's theymos. embarrassingly creepy is wearing the copper membership tag as a legendary member. why? show me somebody like him, I will kiss their asses too. if you could turn everything you touch in to gold, I will kiss your ass as well. if something doesn't turn in to gold, he should ask why and find the reason himself. if I tell you the reason, you'd make fun of me and would call me a backward thinking terrorist.
My master actmyname.

Reasons for my 'disappearance' for the last 15 or so odd number of days has been pretty well documented on the forum, even when I couldn't log in, I had my friends come in here & post for me.

Just because you can log in with your phone with a weak password, does not mean I would do the same. I am not an idiot to save my Bitcointalk password on my phone and neither am I a savant who could memorize a randomly generated string of 30+ characters.


Wrong, I assumed there could be a payment involved, I did not assume that there wasn't. Check your facts.


Offcourse I think the cluster of molecules that make me up are better at being molecules than the rest of the 'applicants' here. That's what I think and I am not answerable to you for it.


PS: If I were a flying hellfish, I'd be body slamming your face right now.

PPS: Maybe @Silent26 sucks, but could you stop sucking up to Theymos by calling him master?




Maybe because he IS Jesus and just tired & grumpy because people keep calling him Hesoos.

On the alt again?

Not posting ≠ inactive!

See above—just because they weren't posting doesn't mean they weren't reporting.

Are you sure? I mean, a lot of forums have volunteer moderators. This one included.

Why are you taking this so seriously? Jesus.

You were inactive for more than 15 days just like Flying Hellfish, he logged in after master theymos posted this topic. you applied for the signature campaign. you are hungry as well.
Reason for not having you as a mod: you could disappear for weeks and have no way of communication. while I could login with my phone.
You are also asking if this post has any recurring payment, you should know that people usually wouldn't ask you to do something as difficult as moderating a section with thousands of garbage posts for free. you also didn't offer anything to compete with other applicants. maybe you thought that you are better or they don't have any chance?
Your first post here was to suck for people. SIR Silent26 the second. you don't have anything really useful to add to this topic. you'd suck and then ask for a job. throwing your hat to try your luck. it's not the usual bounty campaign we all are used to. this is not the place to keep saying Sir. you are not confident enough to give yourself any credit. why did you vote only for 5 people on the OP? you would ignore some people and would favour a few if you were a mod. if you really like to volunteer, start reporting garbage posts in Bitcoin discussion section.

Who reduced my report accuracy to 96% from %97? they were all repeating previous posts on previous pages, if you don't have the time to read my reports and check my previous reports to see the reason for reporting. don't take it on me please.
