Hey guys, although Platty should be doing this. I thought i'd take it apon myself (and i'll probably be ass kicked later over it... ah well).

As you may have noticed, we lost some mods the other day. This was due to several reasons. So, we (being the admins) thought we'd have some new mods.

They are:
Mr Odwin
Stocka
Redshell
DiemetriX
Oli1983uk
Moria
and sarka!

Hey guys, welcome to the team! (and yeah, i'm still not admin :()

Well, thanks to Fierce_Link in the CE days the Cube board got a bit of a revival. Hopefully we can get the boards more active, and therforth make them better, instead of just keeping them at a happy medium. I hope we can do this.. :hmm:

And lol, I thought I needed to get a X-Factor thread going. The X360's thread was going off topic, we can't have that happening.

I'm always surprised to see he isn't already a Moderator or anything else!!

I also don't understand what's happened to Offerman as he's always around aswell, and a great poster!

I don't really understand some of the new choices, but hey!

Congratulations to Stocka though!!
You've been around both old and new forums a good while now; Your a valuable member!! Well done mate!!

Katie
21-11-2005, 09:35 PM

I've left the mod team, for reasons i aren't going to go into. I'll still be a user and staff however. So i'll still be here.

Grebe

I could have made better decisions than those and I come on here hardly ever. Apart from Moria, Oli and Odwin, I havent the slightest who the others are.

21-11-2005, 09:39 PM

good idea getting a lot of new moderators in though, the lack of moderating presence has been my only jibe with this place.

Jordan
21-11-2005, 09:41 PM
Thing aren't gunna get any better with the new guys...
Odwin, Stocka and Moria will do a good job, but i don't think the others will.

Jordan
21-11-2005, 09:45 PM
jordan, that's a bit unfair.

In my eyes, i've been here long enough to judge if people would do the job., and i feel they don't.

If the admin's seem to think they can do all this stuff without even consulting the mod team, then i see no point in being around. In the past, we were all asked on our opinions. Not any more it seems.

Ashley
21-11-2005, 09:51 PM
Don't be so sure... The point is, we old mods weren't even told who was going to be chosen. We had no say.

To use a work environment analogy, do shop assistants have a choice in who is hired?

To answer a few of the questions.

Several people were demodded because they were not doing the work, which is largely due to the fact they have had busy social lives/work lives/personal lives/whatever. Its not like they didn't turn up for one day and we demodded them.

No new admins because we don't need new admins. Admins aren't here to lock and edit every post/thread that needs it, obviously they do some but the idea is they oversee it. The admins felt that some mods weren't pulling their weight (due to, as said, other commitments) and we shouldn't have to pick up the extra stuff, hence the new people.

The new people were chosen because of their post quality, their seeming knowledge of the rules and their general attitude. We can't "test" potential mods, to see if they'll be any good, we can only hope our instincts are right.

Offerman was demodded from General because he didn't appear to be doing much work and to be honest, we have received complaints about his masogonistic nature. We still found him a vaulable admin of Tech because he is very helpful there, its a shame he left the way he did.

Jordan
21-11-2005, 09:54 PM
Ash, if you remember in the past. We were asked our opinions over MSN. Platty wouldn't even tell us the candidates.

I left because if feel you guys are out of touch and feel you can just rule the place with some "iron fist" so to speak. These are sad and dark days for Revolution Europe. I'll stick to IRC thanks.

And if we asked your opinion it would have been...?

And the "in the past we..." thing ain't gonna fly. Things change. If you felt strongly about what has happened you should have not flung it out here, you should have discussed it in the forum chat. Its a shame you've left us because yes, you did do a lot of work but we felt having about three mods across all the forums isn't the best way of running this place.

Dude misogynistic is a crazily spelt word, you can't blame me :P

And we received complains, we couldn't just reason "oh he just wants to get laid" because who doesn't. Sure I'd love to be fucked right now but I don't go round offending everyone. Yes "thats the way he is" but he could have toned it down a bit, mods are supposed to set a good example.

And Jordan I havn't seen the list. But we would have listened, so don't go being snipey. Its a bad colour. I hope you can reconsider, you were a good mod but needed not all the work. Its not like we demodded you because you weren't working, we just didnt want to spread you all over the place.

Ash, I truly respect you, but Jordan has a good point. There's less of a gap between administrators and moderators than the analogy you presented.

Maybe there is, analogies are often slightly elaborated to make a point. But if the gap was perhaps as close as Jordan believed, he should have happily contacted us privatly expressing his concerns. Im not trying to say "Jordan is acting badly", just he could have handled it better. As I said, he was a darn good mod.

Sorry Jordan, that sounded like I was talking as if you werent here but you know what I mean.

Congrats to the new guys, in particular Mr_Odwin deserves the position. I've not been posting here so expected to be removed sooner or later, although I did always check that no trouble was going down each day.

Dom and Space will probably become Veterans, making them basically gods around here ;)
That would be nice as some of us have put years into this place, and with the C-E Elites not being around anymore there's nowhere for us to hide.

Im taking it one day at a time, at the moment im on a high dosage, hopefully it will lower as i improve.

But you run the risk here of Moria being like Offerman, as the Simpsons taught us, that all scots love to make home video's of people secretly....

Oh and it's the internet, remember that.

i was just wondering (i mean i know the basics of moding) but is it as easy as i think, or is it a lot of work?

Definitely some unexpected choices, but still, congratulations and good luck with the job in hand (literally in hand :wink: ).

It seems weird seeing guest under Offermans name and the same with Jordan (no mod status), but I really do hope both of them stick around as it would be a huge loss imo. Humour is the key.......well, so a drunk tramp said lastnite.

So.......has the tech board now been drowned?

As easy as you think.

Delete a few posts, chastise a few people, lock a few threads, sticky one now and again if it's important.

I don't know enough about the place to have a qualified opinion. But I do know five page threads give me a numb arse.

Odwin seems a good choice. I find him sexy.

...

I mean that in the creepiest way possible.

Could this be the start of the end of RE?

That happened with the absence of Fierce_LiNk (for unavoidable purposes a forum should stand in the way of).

Congrats to Sarka, Stocka, Odwin, and Moria. My condolences to Jordan, Offerman, Space, and Dom - I saw nought wrong with what you did.

Perhaps instead of just replacing Jordan with another mod though, perhaps hiring more mods instead of ones that moderate nearly every thread? Soag and Stocka each have four. Both are great guys, but I rarely see soag around anymore.

Thank you for all your opinions. Sort of shows why the decisions are made by the ones at the top, or we'd be deciding on this kind of thing for years.

I think you should give all of the new moderators the opportunity to prove themselves before you pass judgement. We feel they are more than capable of their tasks and if you feel otherwise, make sure you do it in a mature and non-offensive manner.

Now, for my 2 cents...

I'd just like to point out out that Jordan and Offerman were still moderators until they CHOSE to either delete themselves or drop their status. We needed more active and responsible moderators - we need them to keep the forums running! Personally I do not understand Jordan's reaction to all of this. He would still be the primary moderator of these forums. He chose to de-mod hmself for whatever reason, and it's a pity that he did. But I think he's shown his true colours and in doing so he has confirmed that he would be unfit for the admin position that he obviously had his sights set on.

Soag and Jordan were really our only active moderators carrying out their duties.

you are right the other guys didnt do anything wrong at all, but we needed more active moderators on our ever growing forum.

and as Lammie has said offerman and jordan decided to leave the moderator team themselves, otherwise they would still be mods.

Yeah, read that after I'd posted.

Just out of curiosity, who didn't make the cut? There are several members I thought would make great mod material but weren't there.

I chose to leave because i felt that the admin and moderators are getting further and further apart. I've explained why i thought this, simply because you didn't consult us from the start when and who you were going to pick. I disagree with some of your choices, simple as.

And as for the admin thing? Ha! You guys knew that you wouldn't make me an admin. You have a night tight nit group that you didn't want anyone else to be in.

Oh, and nice thing in your sig Lammie, very professional.

It just seems like such a horrible over-reaction to me. To keep the forums running smooth you have to have effective moderators. We came to the conclusion that the moderator positions needed to be re-assesed. There were moderators from CE who just were not about as much as they needed to be, there was too much inaction and some were conducting themselves in a manner that was not befitting of a moderator. It was a decision to be made by admins, and it was made by admins. Moderators have a job to moderate, to keep the peace, and to be an approachable member of these forums - its not just a title that looks important.

Believe it or not but the admins here do know what goes on, who's who and notice members who stand out as exceptional contributors. We're constantly keeping an eye on things. I think its good that we can discuss this topic out in the open, even if you're unhappy with what has happened we are willing to hear your concerns. The position of a moderator is one that should be almost totally transparent, if they do their job well you should barely notice them.
