Yeah I pretty much disagree with everything. :|
Why does that not surprise me in the slightest? ^_^
I dunno, I see it as writing is writing no matter what the topic is. If there's concrete evidence that another mod, or a different mod, is needed, we'll look into it. As for mods with more than one section, they've all shown they can handle it. If it turns out they can't, we remove them from the forums they can't deal with and look elsewhere for help.
Writing is writing... and posting is posting. Since all forums are generally based around posting information and opinions, should we just have digi-kun mod all the sections and can everyone else?
I'd prefer to have mods who can conduct themselves in a non-infraction-inducing fashion all over the board in the first place, thank you. There's no reason they shouldn't be mature enough to do so before we hire them. Plus it's not like we haven't modded people with infractions (or even previous bans) before. We go on a case-by-case and consider anyone with potential. Infractions are obviously going to be a hindrance but we don't automatically ignore someone who has any. They are, and will always BE, a heavy factor though. Moreso if they're continuous/recent.
Well, I wasn't really sure about this, glad to know that it's not as heavily weighted, as, you know, stuff that matters.
Most of the dead sections just don't get activity regardless. We'll mod someone there if we feel they can spruce it up and bring new life to the forum but otherwise we just check in and police the place, more or less. If someone stands out in a modless forum, we'll probably mod them. If not, it'll stay as is.
Wut? If all the mods left S&M (seeing as they do provide most of the permissions and are the only ones that can implement new ideas well), I think the majority of the members would follow right behind them.
Because when we have too many mods, there isn't enough work to go around, the mods feel useless and they quit. That or there's too much confusion as to who does what, it's hard to coordinate things, and it becomes a hassle for everyone involved. Overstaffing isn't good.
