Yeah well from the current administrators that would result in a disaster - they aren't on enough to do all of that and whatever else they have to do, and if there were no forum mods, that Cosplay thread would STILL be alive. The only active admin I saw yesterday was Sprite- and he didn't come until much later.

Most of the administrators have jobs and unfortunately cannot be on the site all the time. I wish I could, but it's not possible. Obviously, if there were no mods, there would be disaster.

People also have to realize that modding is volunteer work for the love of the community


this is why mods need to be coul

My stars go out to anyone who can put time into the site and knows how to separate bull shit from chat facilitation. Everyone in the below list in no particular order is someone who I could see doing a fine job.

-iironiic
-sky kitten
-customstuff
-tc_halogen
-psychoangel691
-leonid
-bmah
-bluearrowll
-xayphon
-i love you
-_.spitfire._

I included 11 because I inserted myself in there. I count as 0.

I'm a mod over on Kongregate and I can tell you this: Doing your job will piss people off. Not doing your job will piss people off. Modding is a thankless job.

But I do it because there's nothing more satisfying than silencing morons who clog up your chat

Izzy, those are admins, not moderators.

iironiic is talking about moderators.

I understand that. I don't feel like we should need so many moderators, just some people to take care of major spam or people posting porn.

Pretty much Dossar's choice, but I have my own reasons.

1. qqwref - This dude is smart, and he knows a lot about FFR, how it works, he would be a great mod.
2. i love you - Deserves to be mod, period. He's been around for a very long time and is an active member still to this day.
3. XXXsmittyXXX - He's been around FFR for a long time and he's a chill dude. He's nice to talk to and would definitely be lenient with his actions so the bans aren't apeshit stupid rofl. (copy-pasta'd from Dossar since it's pretty much what I had in mind)
4. Sky Kitten - She's a chat mod on DF and she's very nice, and keeps things in order.
5. TC_Halogen - How is he not mod? He's probably the most well-mannered and best all-around poster I know. He shows respect to others, and is active on the forums and prochat.

Re: If you were to nominate ten people for modship, who would they be and why?

those who were wondering: essentially - Kayla is a moderator and I'm acting as her scout (as a few people in MP did for Sprite-/Darkshark/other MP moderators) to let her know when things are happening. It works out perfectly alright because I don't have to get in anyone's faces or whatnot.

As far as the reason for me not being any sort of staff member; it's more than likely due to a poor attitude when it comes to being targeted, which I've had -huge- problems with in the past. The last major blow-up I think I've truly had was against i love you in the batch thread, when everyone was taking a stand on their thoughts of simfiling rhetoric.

Since then, I might have had one other blow-up, but I deleted it. I kinda figure now that there's really no point in arguing against other people anymore if it's going to turn nasty -- haters gon' hate and I'm not going to waste my precious keystrokes trying to validate an argument that no one will listen to.

AJ has had his rage fits on the forum lol. I don't know who I'd pick 'cause there's a lot of factors. 1. They can't play favorites, I think we've all seen that happen before. 2. They need to be thick skinned and do their job, I've gotten tons of hate for moderation I didn't even do and after last night forget it I have people going nuts on me. 3. They need to be able to control their own temper wen dealing with users. Just a lot of things go into it that people don't think about.

Marcus said it best people hate you when you do your job and hate you when you don't. I'm just really glad to see some users appreciate what we do, especially after being bashed all morning.

So I've seen now three times about modding that "if you do your job, no one likes you" and have to protest the thought. I might not seem like I have a place to talk with my own jackassery. but in truth I've been staff in other places and held management positions in actual jobs and always keep good rating. (FFR is one of my secondary communities so I've kinda just let myself go more often.)

Using your authority isn't the problem, its predictability in the use of said authority. FFR, (along with many other websites and real life jobs) has problems keeping a standardized use of its punishment system. Its not unusual to find favoritism, lax punishments, overly random ones, or play a game of luck on which "officer" reads your stuff. I can't really form a perfect list here, but I'd have to say it'd need to be a list of people who can all act together as a unified unit. There are too many personalities going off at once atm. That said, I appreciate the mods wholly and glad they've surrendered time for the site, just wish they would hug it out sometimes.
