the forum needs poo

[Vatican Assassin]

Thank you for your replies and your opinions on this.

I have decided that we will do a 2 part hiring process.

First: Of the applicants, the highest admin will look over the applicants and see who would be acceptable for mod position. (Security, responsibility, activeness, maturity)

Secondly: After talking to the each of the applicants that pass the first phase, we will have them posted on a seperate thread, for the community to vote on. The applicants will be allowed to campaign. People will be allowed to vote for more than 1 person, however, I will be making the votecount public. So if anyone starts trying some trolling.. I will take that into account on the votes.

The candidates with the most votes, will fill the positions available, and will help me work on moderating the rest of the forum, and will have a say on how the forums need to be changed/updated.

I hope to have the voting started by Monday.

and the first thing he does is close the thread can you believe this guy

anyways i stopped reading it after word maturity

[kthx]

Well I was going to say that staff picking from a list of hand chosen douchebags that we can then pick on doesn't really constitute picking our own forum mods, and it sounds like the old forum mods that always fuck everything up such as Ara will still be here so this is a pointless endeavor.

[kthx]

And imagine how this will work.

Mod voted in by forums: Ara stop moving threads, stop deleting threads, stop closing threads.
Ara: SHUT UP YOU FUCKING IDIOT YOUR AXED DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO I AM DEAN OF STAFF IN THE GAME DERP DERP DERP DERP.

Well Wark, count this as a change in the right direction. You know for a fact that we can not allow just anyone to become staff, for security purposes. Of the applicants we had, only 1 got cut out due to security reasons. The rest I am in the process of talking to them.

As for Ara or any other mods that you may have issues with, this is one of the reasons I am bringing in publically acceptable choices. I want them to help me in changing the ways of the forums. This also includes the current moderation setup. I have my own ideas of change. The public voting is one of them. But we also know I have 'radical' thinking, that gets instituted stupidly. Hence I want the help of others.

I AM THE SECURITY LEAK

actually hms told me you're on his list of people to touch base with, zeeb. probably just hasn't caught you online yet.

hms has a decent group of candidates put together. i won't put it out there just in case he'd rather wait until he's ready to get this public voting up and running. any and all of the people he's considering would be just fine by me.

[kthx]

Don't get me wrong its a step in the right direction, BUT, obviously it won't help unless people who abuse their forum mod powers right now have them revoked. TW Forums and TW Staff (in game) used to be completely separate entities and should be again. Basically if you hire anyone who will actually stand up to the people who are deleting threads, moving threads, and doing other shit and they say something about it, they are going to get axed for it. You catch my drift? You are going to be stuck with useless pussies or angry axed veterans if the current people fucking over the forums continue to fuck over the forums. That is the root of the problem that needs to be fixed.

the security leak is clearly gran

[Ilya]

do we get to pick the positions we fill? because i'd like to be mod of the Screenshots / Records forum. i have some big plans for that place.

i'm assuming i'm on the list because otherwise this election is ILLEGITIMATE

[Ilya]

if im elected mod of Zone & Forum FAQs i will change it to Zone & Forum FAGs where homosexuals can frolic freely without bothering the rest of us civilized folk

every now and then kthx will be given guest-mod status there to ban people at will, just to keep them in check

[kthx]

I would ban ara for abuse of power, it would be the first legit ban on these forums in six months.

[Squeezer]

cut for security reasons?

this isn't the gub'ment it's just a 2d spaceship game...
