Well he's said things he shouldn't have twice, and been banned like you said. I don't see those as very good attributes for a mod. I don't think he's a bad guy, I just don't understand why's he's being chosen to be a mod, unless there's something he does that I'm completely unaware of that would make him a good mod.
I'm just playing devil's advocate here. I could care less what happens.

i read the first page and went... now thats one of those threads!
i usually dont like reading the fight threads, unless im in a fight of course.
people take this site to seriously sometimes, we all just need to chill out a little and relaxe. so somebody had a bad idea, its not the first time.
honestly i wish that there were more mods or at least were on more often just so threads like that dont get out of control. It scares away new people and cant make the forums look good.
i mean DMBc is nutz! :lol

02-27-2008, 03:49 AM
How many Mods are there?
Not enough of them - you shouldn't be able to count the number of mods on a 100000+ member message board on both hands. Just my opinion, of course, but there would be a lot less screwing around if there was a more tangible presence of moderation that knew how to apply and enforce the rules. Which means that we need more of them.
That said, moderators shouldn't necessarily be judged according to popularity. Respect, yes. How well you interact with other members without being the catalyst for unnecessary bitching, yes. How many of the opposite sex would want to bang you, no.
Greg, if you think you can do it, go for it.
VanHorneDog
02-27-2008, 03:51 AM
very much so ^^^
ive been a mod on some forums before. im like the thread nazi about stuff like that. id delete shit so fast that was a repeat and PM the person to search its not even funny.
or at least lock them with a post, "next person who post a butch taylor needs to die thread will be banned, there are already plenty of those threads to go around. find one"
kerplunk!
02-27-2008, 03:52 AM
Don't we have enough mods?
VanHorneDog
02-27-2008, 03:56 AM
^^^ no we dont, its been that way for a while. Jake is typically understaffed for a forum this big. i have other forums that are 1/10th this size with 5 times as many mods. it makes it easy to keep things clean and calm. plus its more inviting to new people who know if nobody else will say hi at least the admins/moderators will. thats always a good thing.
especially during the offseason when the rest of the crew isnt on every night updating the site with tour information or what not.

very true, but i think there should be more telling people to calm down and locking a thread for say 30 minutes to let things simmer.
nDMBc wouldnt be the same without silliness. but the personal attacks and stupid namecalling should get some attention.
its more about calming things down than being a dick-tator.

It's pretty hard to get banned. You have to do something really stupid or blatantly act like an idiot. And of course create an alter, but that's also just acting like an idiot.

People are right, Ants DOES need more mods. I know for me personally, I associate Ants with a negative connotation now and I won't be posting much til I see anything of significant quality. It's just the same bullshit over and over, day in and day out.

:lol thanks, Cole.
Yeah, I lost to Matt (swampdonkey) in ants fantasy football, so I have to have the avatar of his choice for a damn month.:mad
But, a bet is a bet, so I have to keep my end of it. Sadly. I miss Tommy and it's only been one day! Me and my big fat mouth.

this place isn't tolerable. if there weren't 4-5 people i enjoy having conversation with i'd be gone (not that anyone would miss me, let's not make this about me, because i'm not). and the "shit shows" happen multiple times every day.
quality > quantity
or i'd be happy with quality + quantity

or i'd be happy with quality + quantityWithout the mods, there would be more shit shows. They can't prevent them. They can only stop them. All they can do is enforce the rules. How would you suggest they do a better job? It's a volunteer thing--it's not like this is their day job or they are getting paid to do it. They're just trying to help so we can post here. I think that's pretty solid.
I agree with you about quality being greater than quantity but it is not up to the moderators what individual users post on the board. All they can do, without turning this place into a regime, is moderate the posts and threads fairly.

ya...i'd be fine with more GOOD mods. they don't stop them as is. way too many dupe/out-of-hand threads go on for way too long. it's not just a matter of mods not having time. everyone knows when a thread should be locked, but it just doesn't happen enough. people should lose thread-making privs more often. too many stupid people have made too many stupid threads.
whatever, though. it's not up to me and it's not like i'm losing sleep over it. all i was saying is that i don't think the current mods do a very good job.
i think one simple addition to the boards would clear out a lot of clutter, and i've mentioned it before. on the ubuntu forums, when you create a new thread, after you put in the subject and tab to the body text-box, it does a quick search for you based on what you put in the subject tab. it cuts down enormously on dupes. i believe they use vbulletin as well -- although i know nothing about how boards work -- i think it should be implemented if possible here.

Just to clear things up:
Groton was not offered anything. Ever. He made the entire thing up.
We (meaning me) did not perm ban him, b/c if I did, we wouldn't be able to ridicule him after his little 'time out' ends. That should keep us going for the rest of the off season.
We also plan to commemorate this with a t-shirt. "Groton, it's not just a town, it's a wannabe Mod!"

I seriously felt so terrible after I posted that. It was really just a joke, more for myself than anyone. I IM'ed Katie after I posted.
Katie: hahahahahahahaha
ZINGGGGGGGGG
that guy got PZWN3RD
LeeAnne: Hahaha.
I wasn't trying for pwn.
Just a laugh.
Is that a pwn?
Wasn't my intention. Was he being a douchebag?
Now I'm all concerned that I will have hurt this guy's feelings. LOL
And I don't even know him.
I'm soft, what can I say. :o
Eh, it's Andy...he can use a daily dose of pwning...

I'd like to know where Groton envisioned this little endeavor going.

Greg told me that somebody posing as Jake in a chat room "offered him the position" as a prank. I have no idea as to the veracity of this claim, but make of it what you will.
