Arch0wl for re-admin 2013 (serious)

[cedolad]

With the inclusion of more forums, how do you feel about promoting more users to becoming Local Moderators of newly made forums? Also do you find a need to include more local moderators in the current subforums we have?

Also with your reorganization of the stickies, are you planning on either updating some of the dated context, or would you rather make a newer thread?

Do you think 20 days is enough time to get through your agenda? Seems like you have a lot on your plate and I just wanted to know what priorities you have for the 20 days.

[thesunfan]

with the list of 100 to 1000 things, are you positive you could get it done in 20 days. I'm really surprised this is being taken seriously this time lol.

I don't understand why you make a public thread here, instead of sending a PM to admins with your request.

That being said, I don't care too much about this place's administration, so as long as you don't fuck up everything (which I doubt you would), I don't really care whether you be an admin or not.

Because he's campaigning and is trying to plead his case to the public who has nothing to do with it for some reason.

I'll give my support for Arch's 20 days of clean-up---but I will disagree that TGB needs to be bumped up/Chit Chat bumped down. Frankly, the order in which the sections are displayed feels right for new-timers.

Some of these sections do need merging, though. I like the overall plan and I'll support.

[Snowcrafta]

TGB is perfect exactly where it's at

[Rebirth0]

Don't get your hopes up, Arch. The staff is a bit different than when I tried to be an admin in 2008, but FFR has something against making people admins. I was doing plenty of tedious things with the game all the time and couldn't even get access to implement anything

[Izzy]

Well back then it was about cliques and not productivity. It's a little better now at least for admins. Moderators not so much.

Also I don't think he is being serious.

[SCWolf]

Arch definitely has my vote. If he did it when he was 16, he's more than capable of doing when he's 25.

Since... no other admins are doing it... probably ever...

I am one of them.

but oh yeah, +1 for arch's 20 day trial (and then some)

But that's a different topic of discussion and I don't wanna shit on Arch's thread...again.

Not on thread topic, but I figured I would sort of address this..
Velocity is re-coding the site itself, so just be patient on it.

If I am an admin, I have powers over normal users. Therefore the approval/endorsement of regular users matters just as much.

Let me put it this way: as a user of this site, would you prefer all staff decisions were made in private without your input?

This is what I'm talking about, I feel a little left in the dark at times about certain aspects of the site. While we're entertained with events and tournaments and the such, the only time we hear about development is when it's released the public. Though we do have a bit in the say of certain parts of the site, I feel that keeping an open development blog or the such will help keep us out of the "in the dark" feeling.

[Snowcrafta]

You want to propose this bill through congress, have it pass in the senate, and ratified by the Presidents

cedolad idk where you're coming from but who told you this wasn't a dictatorship?

[EtienneSM]

Why not?

+1 to 20 day trial.

[dAnceguy117]

+1, and +2 if you use the avatar you had when you were admin the first time

Do you honestly believe that works? I've already done that multiple times and nothing changes, nor do I get a response.

Arch0wl for admin, cause he seems like he's a cool guy and would get the job done. /seems/

[korny]

Administrative oligarchy. How do we overcome the oppressors??

[lumphoboextreme]

Not sure this thread will get anywhere, but I'll give my +1 as well.

[Doug31]

Can I give him a -1? Seriously, making a topic like this isn't how to become an admin. In the old days, and on most sites, campaigning for oneself pretty often made it so that they wouldn't make you a staff member. If you really want to be one, I think PMing them is a more effective way of doing it than making a topic like this one. Also a lot of what you plan to do really is things that could just be PM'd to the staff and they could choose to do them or not. Most of it isn't anything that you'd specifically have to do. Considering the obvious drawbacks of just making someone that requests it an admin, I think that would be an overall better solution.
