Moderators

Seeing the lack of sign posted rules and guidelines because of release gives everyone that perfect freedom. Thing is that GiantBomb and the people involved dont want it to devolve into an immature, and unregulated site. Yes they want freedom of speech like the rest of, they want that feel of a non-company owned site that people could use for gaming, but I can already see the posters being prolific in being trolls, making fun of other users, being disruptive and spammy, even offensive. Though the only thing we can do is - + a post, I would love to see the whole moderation system unfold, and possbily be apart of it.

For anyone wanting to be a moderator or inquing moderations or the future of moderations should try to discuss it here.

there needs to be a perm ban on WhiteAsian

I'd love to do it

I'd hate to be a moderator. Too much BS to deal with. But yes, this site needs moderators to stop these no life trolls.

As stated in previous, similar threads this isn't wise. People will be granted moderation privileges through their actions and not discussion or constant claims of ability to be a great moderator. If you wish to inquire about what a good mod might be like, ask a current mod (e.g. CitizenKane).

yes but saying you want to be a mod wont make you one

I agree GB does need mods, too much is happening.

There will soon enough be a few of them im sure of it

I don't think using GS mods here is a good idea since one of them is an active spammer on this site

Ryan himself said on a bombcast that if you ask to be a moderator then you shouldnt be one. usually the people who ask to be one are power hungry and unjust. just wait a couple of days and if they like you they will ask you to be a mod. simple as that

besides the fact of their being a need for them, how are the guidelines being made? I see it being possible a watered down version of GS's tou. Which is great, but really depends on what Jeff and the gang want to do to keep their new found community in functioning order.

If I got picked, I'd accept to be a mod.

But is that going to happen? Most likely no.

Usually, the people who ask to be one are nerdy forumers who are gonna take it stupid-serious

Thinking about it, do we need moderators?
Nothing so far's really needed to be moderated much- In the forum, that is.

Id love to be a moderator. Not to boss anyone around or to feel powerful. I just want to help the community out

"Usually, the people who ask to be one are nerdy forumers who are gonna take it stupid-serious."

 This site needs wiki mods more than forum mods. Ten guys or so are moderating EVERYTHING currently, and submissions are bogging down :(

I suspect we'll have a good moderatimg crew within a week or two, and things will settle down then.

The ones that will do the best job are the ones that don't spam posts. People who can help out the community the most even if they don't want too.

I really don't like moderators, personally. They tend to let the power go to their heads.

i doubt that some of them will be who you think they are, there are alot  of impersonators abound. Of course wanting to be a moderator sounds powerhungry, but does asking to help? I see it that some people genuinely like to help a website, and they volunteer* to be one. So if its easy enough for the staff to want to take you on, that is great. But volunteering shows you want to be a helpful part of society, and I wouldn't think that as a bad thing. Of course you would background check the person to see if they arent joking around, but I still will like to see how it unfolds from here."

Anyone know anything about this BoG guy? Seems like a loser to me.

:)

Edit: I stand firm in my statement.

The first post I read of BoG's, he told me off for tripple posting.
It was three guys with the same avatar :|

apologies for that. All I saw was that twice someone had posted the same short message, so I I said no triple posting.

Yeah, just dont go bannin fools for not usin apostrophes.

I find it funny that BoG become a mod and people are like: oh, BoG, I love you. Let me send you a friend request! Don't ban me! :D

yea no need to do triple posting and such when there is an edit button

Less worried about becoming a moderator, but there being a larger quantity of them. I'd be a moderator just to take out outrageous topics in OT.

They need a LOT more mods, like dozens.

I think maybe 30 mods would be enough for 10,000 people."

no and you would need specific mods for specific forums if you wanted to be organised

Its not like all 10,000 users are going to be posting, especially at once.

True but it would be enough for ahwile. Its not the quantity of mods. Its the quality. I would rather have 15 good, hard-working mods, than 30 descent mods."

They need like 6 or 7 active mods. Y'know, timezones, all that shite.

How do you find moderaters for boards like the Hamburger forum or the Moustache forum?
