The current mini-mod placement is quite outdated. Like you guys pointed out, some moderators have moved on, and some could be more effective elsewhere. It worked out great when it was first implemented, but times change. We're debating between several solutions including reassignment of existing moderators and hiring more.

Please don't ask to be a moderator; it won't help your case. If we do add moderators, we will pick people based on what we observe. Begging, bribing, and general butt kissing won't change our opinion if you flame people on a regular basis.

Don't worry about it, we're working on the problem. The hardest part is getting the admins to apply changes so we can try them. (Hint hint, guys... :P)

So what does that mean people will be carefully selected like plump turkeys to be mods? :D

And I've been here longer than both you and Sky and I'm not a mod. Certain people just have the experience. Time here does not make a good mod. It helps, but there's more to it.

Thanks for that. I'd also been lurking about 6 months before my registration.

Like what do you need to be a mod? What are the qualifications necessary?

You need to be special. You need to have laser vision, and able to cook roasts in second. You also need to make rainbows drop skittles.

:) Yummy.

The skittles power is the toughest to master, but it is soo rewarding.:D

I don't think things are too out of hand here, there are thousands of far worse forums for spam and junk than here, but there is always room for improvement.

bicostp is right, time changes things so we to will have to adapt, hopefully will find a superior system(or improve on the one we have) quickly, so hold out until then guys.
SNESp - 100%
Protable X - 15% - I need money :(

Please don't say we're gonna get another mod. New mods almost always abuse their powers.

Wonder who will be next, maybe we should slow time or get fog lights. I wish HK, NOS, soundwave, and some other old members would come back.

Maybe someone could build a time machine (don't forget the crystals :P).

and YOU always seem to be at the forefront of whining and complaining about EVERYTHING that a mod does that even remotely resembles rule enforcement! that statement is false, a generalization and just rude and ignorant, we need less people like that and more active responsible people who actually build things on this forum!

Thanks, took the words right out of my mouth. :P

We're discussing this stuff behind the scenes, we'll have some other revisions hopefully, too.

Thanks :D . I take it as a compliment that I'm not too much of a wimp to question anything and everything that leads to more authoritarian power. BTW, about that last part, look at the left side of my sig :wink: . Didn't mean to start (or fuel, whatever) a flame war, but I'd be happy to continue it if you do :P

That's exactly their point. Just because you have a complete disregard for the rules gives you no right to preach impairment of the ability for our administration to keep our forums clean. :roll:

And thanks for the update, Sky, hopefully we can get this sorted out soon! :P
