Popularity Contest?

[untitled]

i dont really get why a mod has to have experience, cause this is on a trial period and i think everyone deserves a chance at times, i also got the opportunity to be a mod on 3 forums before and i never was a mod before that but i was glad i got my chance to contribute more to the site.

I'm 100% fine with the mods we have, I can say that I believe most of them that have been active since day 1 of my membership have been deserving, in fact, all of them.

Give Azm a chance, he deserves it. I can't think of any other members except maybe one or two who deserve it as much as he does.

I think popularity should influence whether people are given mod rights or not, I mean no-one would want a random person whos an arse to everyone to become a mod, right?

Besides, it's just a title, he has duties to do now and I think azem will do them fine; he's a respected member and liked by all. It doesn't really matter anyway, and personally I think threads like these just tear communities apart with stupid, pointless banter.

I agree exactly. But threads like this are needed. If there isn't anyone to challenge authority, then it gets a little boring.

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.

 

 

I wouldn't consider popularity a vital thing to be a mod. (I may sound a it up myself when I say this) but I'm popular and I'm not a mod (past people know from my erratic behaviour in the past). Mods are selected based on how they react to social problems occurring on LPF.

Yes, we dont need too many moderators as their powers are somewhat limited, however, its nice to have fair ammount of them so that when something does happen there is a better chance that it can be dealt with quicker.
