So a few people might have noticed that Victim deleted a few posts in Azem's congratulatory thread there. These posts were from Clogz and me replying (and agreeing) with him.
His post stated that the only reason Az got to be a mod is because he is a popular member of the boards, and perhaps not the best person suited for the job.
Admittedly that was probably the wrong place to start a discussion about this, and I apologise for that, but I do agree with what he was saying.
I'm not sure how many of the admins/mods/elites have experience or whatever doing this type of job so I can't really just say it's all bullshit, but it seems that majority of the people around here with the power have never modded another website.
This might seem a bit picky and pointless to some people, but for someone like me who is a moderator on a site that is around 4 times larger than this one, I can see a fair few different ways this place could be improved. But it seems that the current mods don't want to change anything at all. It's not that there's anything wrong with how the place is now, but it could be a lot more easy to navigate and user-friendly with a few changes here and there.
So I guess what I'm asking you all is, do you agree that the modship status is only given to people who are currently popular within the LPF community?
And do you think that these people should have prior modding experience?
(again I don't know if anyone has any experience so if the mods could answer that it'd be nice)
And before you all come in and flame me for stating my opinion, just take a little time to think about your reply before you post. There's really no point coming in and having a huge rant at me cause I only want to hear from the intelligent part of LPF.
