Archive: New mods needed?


20th March 2003 01:00 UTC

New mods needed?
From the looks of the this forums, I think we need an active mod - And I mean, very active...

For now, vote on people who you'd like to see as a mod (of this forums).
People who got voted but does not want to be a mod can back out.

And please, use common sense when voting for a mod...

...And for wannabe mods - We need active and non-power-mad mods, and hopefully friendly...

Hopefully an admin gets a look at this topic once it's done, if it gets done..

P.S. : Don't vote me.


20th March 2003 01:11 UTC

I vote Nic01(JK). Maybe Atero, although he may end up banning all n00bs.:p


20th March 2003 01:29 UTC

I think it's neat that you took it upon yourself to post a topic for voting new Mods, when you're not a mod.

I don't have a vote. I like the mods.


20th March 2003 01:32 UTC

Well Fickle, Rovastar doesn't seem to be around much here anymore. He comes around every couple of days, but barely ever posts here. I believe he is still "active" over in the milkdrop forums.


20th March 2003 05:00 UTC

the traitor.

and no, i wouldn't ban all the noobs, just legohead and maybe a couple others. probably you too, at some point ;) that and half the new threads would be closed in two days or less.

i WOULD nominate unconed (CONEMOD!), for the simple reason of he's got a level head, but if he's too busy for AVS he's too busy to mod - that and he's only around here once a week. i actually would vote for nic too, for the same reason...but he's hardly ever around (tho it'd be a good excuse for him to use the computer...right? ;) ). then i think it's pretty much down to me, anubis, and tuggummi...see above :)


20th March 2003 05:20 UTC

So you would ban me, but you want me as mod? Hmmm.:p


20th March 2003 06:04 UTC

Atero, you serious?

I can't be even if someone votes me. Im not on a very stable connection here and i only visit the forums from school... the fact that school is basicly 8 hours sitting in front of the computer seems irrelevant to me :p


I vote for Anubis, i think he knows a lot about avs, is friendly and uses the avs forums a lot.


And for Fickle: Well hardly any leader will "step aside" by their own will, what we need is a rebellion! Burn Rovastar! j/k! :p


20th March 2003 09:07 UTC

i agree with atero, unconed for mod,
it's almost a no-brainer, unconed knows a lot, is friendly can explain things good.


20th March 2003 09:13 UTC

DO NOT make atero moderator ! Its like giving Saddam 50 nukes...Unconed is smart and friendly so i`ll go with this option.


20th March 2003 09:27 UTC

Does UnConeD make presets anymore? Yes, he has made a few singles.

Does UnConeD post at the forums anymore? Yes, on the most technical questions usually.

Does he have the time for being a moderator? My assumption is NO, i also believe that it was one of the reasons he quit doing avs, not enough time.

You might want to respect that.


20th March 2003 09:37 UTC

I agree that UnConeD is the best for the job but we know he WIIL NOT take it. So I see no sence it talkin about it. I vote Atero.


20th March 2003 10:33 UTC

anubis or atero, although atero isnt seen a lot nowadays


20th March 2003 15:51 UTC

I would go for anubis. UnConeD probably doesn't have the time required and Atero can get a bit angry.


20th March 2003 17:38 UTC

Atero has flame wars, not mod material
UnConeD would be just like Rovastar, never here
Nic01 not here that much, and didnt you guys see the "dont vote me", that means he dosent want to.
Anubis knows a lot is friendly etc, he hasnt exactly been here long though.

Ill let someone with more credibility decide


20th March 2003 20:42 UTC

1) i AM around a lot, i visit the forum about twice a day
2) the only flame wars i've had that i can think of are ones with visag, legohead, and gourmet - and those were months ago.
and i think i'd be doing about the same job as anubis or tuggummi would, which is why i said me/anubis/tuggummi (add raz to that, forgot you before).

and to anyone who thinks i can get pissy, FUCK YOU :mad:

That's kinda contradicting Atero.:p

I would agree with Atero that he doesn't get into flame wars often, but he does come close pretty often. I know he pissed me off when I first came on these forums. He is very helpful when you gain his respect, and will tell anyone what they are doing wrong. He would make a half decent mod. Tugg would also make a good mod except that he isn't on these forums quite as often and can't choose an avatar and stick with it.:p

no shit sherlock :p

and i can't pick an avatar either. just watch.

20th March 2003 21:49 UTC

the reason rovastar isnt around much is because he dosent have a stable connection to the internet right now

hes looking for a new place to live {i think} and he should be around more often soon


20th March 2003 23:07 UTC

ahh, now it makes sense, we could do with a temporary mod or something for the timebeing though, he'sposted all of what, 3 times in the last few weeks or something similar. Jesus im on a possible mod list, meh not me, there are too many more superior people for that job. I suppose you havent been pissing people off lately atero, sorry didnt notice. Theres a good few that could fit the job but Rovastar will be back soon we hope so its not really worth discussing and reading my pointless post was a waste of time but i already wrote it so i might as well post.


20th March 2003 23:15 UTC

The AVS forums are big enough to have 2 mod's though.


21st March 2003 00:15 UTC

Anubis or Atero.

this is slightly off topic, but we ALSO need more AVS reviewers.
IMO, we should kick Doggy Dog, because he is never in the AVS forums, and replace him with somebody who is very AVS literate.

I would nominate Raz for this, he is very good at reviewing (although he couldn't give big ass reviews for everybody) and somebody else, like Anubis or Tuggummi


21st March 2003 00:53 UTC

Raz : I'm here everyday except on special occasions, which is very, very rare indeed.
...And even then, I'm usually only available from 14:45-(18:00-21:00 - Varies often, rarely gets up to 21:00) my time...

Anubis : Naw, it's just because of constant flow of newbies and a certain group of people changing the topic a good amount of the time...

Michaelthecat : True, we need someone who actually is up-to-date with the recent happenings and knows the current standards.

Now, if this topic descends into pointless flaming (Which it partially got to) and indecisive end, I might run for the modding job too...

P.S. : That doesn't mean spamming or changing the topic deliberately.


21st March 2003 00:56 UTC

Nic01, what's the "naw" for? The thing I said about this forum being big enough for two mods?


21st March 2003 01:40 UTC

Well seeing as Atero will ban me... he can kiss his fkn vote goodbye..:mad:
I think Nic01 or Tuggami:up:


21st March 2003 04:40 UTC

Legohead : Atero are known to make bad sarcasms before, but currently it looks a bit grim...

Votes :

Atero - 2 (indecisive - 2)
Anubis - 2 (indecisive - 2)
Raz - Nomination, but no votes yet.
Tuggummi - 1 (indecisive)

Right now the (temporary) (Permanent if deserved) new AVS mod position can go to anyone, Atero and Anubis in the lead...


21st March 2003 04:46 UTC

How about making an actual poll?


21st March 2003 07:35 UTC

hmm yeah, but any way anubis for mod, for reasons allready stated


21st March 2003 08:16 UTC

Ok im sticking with this one i originally made only for devart...

And i don't want any bitching about my face or i will make it my personal crusade that you guys will see a new tuggummi avatar every week! :mad:

And as for the new mod/reviewer , i would gladly take either one of those positions, because i am quite active (imho) although i don't have internet @ home.

But carry on :)

[EDIT]
That is if someone even votes me :) To be honest i would love to be a reviewer, but not a mod that much.
[/EDIT]


21st March 2003 08:25 UTC

i like that 1, it looks cool, the face was also good


21st March 2003 08:32 UTC

yeah, me tooo


21st March 2003 09:52 UTC

dam ur already senior, where do you post???


21st March 2003 10:08 UTC

Tugg you think you are Neo or what ?? I vote for Raz and Tugg :D


21st March 2003 10:12 UTC

Phaze, Better neo than a llama :D


21st March 2003 10:17 UTC

Bite me you SWEDISH boy :D I`ll change it soon,very soon :)


21st March 2003 10:21 UTC

I vote for Phaze, i think we need some childish spirit around these forums :D AND i want to get banned by him! w00t!













btw. Just to underline it for you, this post was a joke.


21st March 2003 10:24 UTC

oooo, so THATS what it is :p

im to lazy to press posta reply, so no bold :(


21st March 2003 10:29 UTC

Actually it is me in the picture, but phaze just thinks im a neo-wannabe :rolleyes:


21st March 2003 10:32 UTC

ergh, yea i TOTALLY see the human like reflection ( r we talking about this new 1, or that 1 with u and that background) i can't tell, besides that 1 looked kewl


21st March 2003 11:55 UTC

Why don't we make the AVS-Forums User-ruled?

Anarchy!!! :D

At least for everyone who is a senior or above, i'm quite sure that all of us know how to behave (I'm admin of another forum and therfore i know that abusing power is neither fun nor helpfull for anyone)


21st March 2003 12:13 UTC

This thread is beginning to side rail.

Magic.X - Do you want Anarchy or User-ruled? Democracy and Anarchy are two completely different things.:p


21st March 2003 18:09 UTC

Jegohead...I'd only ban you if you continue to show your incompetence :) Right now you're okay - if you go back to how you were when you first came here, you can kiss your fkn ass goodbye :)

I've been interested in an AVS reviewing position for a long time...I never review much here cos it takes a while and usually other people have said what I wanna say, but I'd be glad to do some staff reviews. As for modding...I stick to what I said before - UnConeD, then Nic, then me/tug/anubis/raz. (Tho I think I'm leaning towards me and/or tug cos we've been here for a while...)
And hey...I'm getting votes ^_^ j4j


21st March 2003 19:16 UTC

i doubt i'd be a decent candidate for a mod because like i said, more superior candidates but as an avs reviewer i wouldnt mind, i dont mind reviewing things and i dont have to make big ass reviews, i just choose to because people put the time in to make the presets, i dont mind putting the time in to give them feedback and some tips on how to improve. plus packs always take a long time to come through it cant be bad to have another reviewer.


21st March 2003 20:48 UTC

I would like to be a reviewer or mod. I think that it is basically between me, tugg, and atero, since everyone else is saying(only partially for Raz) that they don't want to do it. And UnConeD would be the best, but I don't know if he has the time.

[edit]I will be gone for the next couple of days. My sister has a stupid cheerleading thing in Myrtle Beach, and I can't get out of it. I'm going to be confined to a hotel room down there for 2 days, so I'll be gone 'til sunday night/monday.[/edit]


21st March 2003 21:27 UTC

haha...lets pray for anubis to screw a cheerleader :D Now its time to be serious, Tugg is the best choice : he is helpful , not gay( :) j/k ) , visits pretty often the forums and most important, he is NICE.
Go tug go!

EDIT : just realised anubis is exactly like that so...argh! dunno.Tugg again because he enters IRC ;)


21st March 2003 21:32 UTC

i doubt I would be a good reviewer- too hot a temper
i would like to be a mod though. that would be lotsa fun.


21st March 2003 21:35 UTC

not quite, you have to read tons of post , to be hated by other people because you are moderator , to ban ppl that will hate you forever and to make decisions that can get you many enemies. :)


21st March 2003 21:40 UTC

yes, but being a mod for the AVS forums wouldn't be so bad...I have a cable connection, plus, nobody is going to do anything in AVS forums that will get them banned.

how often are there nasty things in AVS forums?


21st March 2003 21:51 UTC

not very often but they happen.Just give Atero a newbie that has some balls and...:)


21st March 2003 22:22 UTC

Atero is harsh on n00bs, but he is never inappropriate. there is a HUGE difference there.


just one question, Anubis...why are you complaining about going to a cheerleader camp


22nd March 2003 04:21 UTC

jesus h. christ, would you guys lay off??? the only time i'm harsh to newbies at all is when they ask inane questions like "how do i stop avs from changing?! plz hlp!"


22nd March 2003 11:09 UTC

what`s the h. from jesus h. christ ? Btw the avatar moves faster now.


22nd March 2003 11:48 UTC

just one question, Anubis...why are you complaining about going to a cheerleader camp
hmm, wrong?¿?
i love the chance to do that:D, can i switch bodies with you??:p
please!!:rolleyes:

22nd March 2003 12:48 UTC

this has gone slightly off topic, the real question is do we really need another mod if Rovastar comes back and is fully active?


22nd March 2003 13:59 UTC

I think that Nic01 would be just the guy for this "job". Unlike Anubis he has been quite long in the community and has more experience I guess.. Tuggummi would be also good, but have you thought that when the summer holidays starts from him, he isn't able to come by to the forums very often..

[edit] seems like Nic doesn't want to be voted, but my vote goes to him anyway :p [/edit]


22nd March 2003 14:45 UTC

you can't force someone to be a mod. I f they dont want to, they wont. Tuggummi would be good for the job and anyone who can spell and is interested in avs and isnt too harsh would be good for a reveiwer, its just a case of choosing.


22nd March 2003 14:57 UTC

Raz : I said I'd also be a candidate if this topic descends into chaos, and it looks like it's descending nicely, so...

Meh, stop all the whining and irrelevant discussions guys!

/me thinks about being a candidate early...

he could be a moderator together with rovastar.

22nd March 2003 20:00 UTC

deg, what about me? :(


23rd March 2003 08:09 UTC

Yes killahbite said it! I could be a mod together with rovastar, but me alone would be too much for me :P

Also i think if rovastar isn't that active then why not select two new mods to assist him? Then there would be like Rovastar as the head man and two underlings :D

And degnic you are right about the summer thing... Maybe im not such a good canditate afterall.


23rd March 2003 08:17 UTC

Why don't you guys get an actual mod here? There is no point in voting and all if the nobody actually becomes a mod..


23rd March 2003 18:44 UTC

@ Anubis

Yeah i know but BOTH would be user ruled wouldnt it?

In a DEMOCRATIC Forum, the majority rules.
If we'd had ANARCHY, evryone could do everything without asking others.

Btw i think evryone could do this job cause its basically keeping the forum up to date, deleting outdated threads and so on...


23rd March 2003 20:32 UTC

that would be kinda nice...all the regulars have limited mod powers...i.e. can lock/delete all the n00b presets.


23rd March 2003 20:38 UTC

no because then no noobs would ever turn into regulars.
I say another mod and another reviewer.


23rd March 2003 22:17 UTC

I agree Raz, except maybe 2 more reviewers.

Oh, and the cheerleading camp was all 1st-7th graders - not quite my age group, and I am no petafile. There were some car shows down there, so there were some hot cars all over the place - Plymouth Prowlers, BMW Z4's, Corvettes, and plenty of sweet imports and 40s hot rods. The highlight of my trip was seeing a Shelby Cobra in a parking lot. That is one of my favorite cars.

Btw, I'm Sorry to go back offtopic.


23rd March 2003 22:26 UTC

Actually Im retracting this statement and personal mailing this to Atero (the way bitchy comments should be handled for anyone who cares). Im ashamed that I've had to 'speak the native tongue' to get my point across - but thats the only language the natives seem to listen to.
If there is one good thing that has come out of my last flame session - is that I haven't heard much of a peep out of Atero when it comes to needless shin kicking (until now that is).


23rd March 2003 22:31 UTC

n00bs have to earn respect before they should be treated with respect. When they come and ask stupid questions like "Why does AVS keep changing?" they completely throw away any respect that one could have for them. Although Atero(please don't be flaming him) is a little too harsh, they deserve some hard words.


23rd March 2003 22:39 UTC

OMG... this forum then is starting to sound like the mafia and not 'enthusiasts'.
I believe there's a simple solution. Start up another website where you can have your 'ELITE?' group instead of the one NULLSOFT have put together so that ALL users can ask questions and SHARE information FREELY.


23rd March 2003 22:43 UTC

legohead: you make some good points but calm down. If you're going to argue please keep the flaming to a minimum. You make some good points but its all padded with pointless filler. Firstly, 14 is not prepubescent, atero has more respect around here than you do so don't resort to pointless insults on someones age. You seem to use redundant "big words" to make your argument seem more worthwhile and banning someone over using a word is yet another pointless result of your anger over nothing. The "arsetero" sums it all up. All atero has said really is that you were bad when you were new but you are not now. Is that good reason for your verging on flaming post? no, i didnt think so. Please calm yourself down before posting arguments again ok.


23rd March 2003 22:54 UTC

Also, Nullsoft has created these forums to be a place for people to come and find answers to questions. People posting questions that have already been answered helps nobody and only angers the regulars. ALL People are FREELY allowed to come here and recieve any information that they need(within the forum rules), but they must show a willingness to do there own part before they can expect everyone else to do theirs. If they don't even do a simple search of the forums, they should not expect anyone to answer a question that has already been asked countless times before.

Back on topic, what exactly are we going to do here in terms of moderators and reviewers. All this thread is doing is starting a flame war and saying that we want a moderator. We need to actually see if anything can be done about the moderator/reviewer positions.


24th March 2003 00:33 UTC

Well Arsetero, looks like you've picked up some nice political pointers from the sandbox at your kindy - I certainly hope your mommy doesn't hear you say those words. Leave your prepubescent drivel elsewhere please.
If you start treating people - anyone, including me - like that in this forum, you will get banned eventually, no matter who the mod is. In case you haven't noticed, I'm one of the most knowledgable users here and you are, well, not. Seeing as how you're not exactly do much for this community it wouldn't be a very great loss to get rid of you. I've yet to see you post one preset here, in fact.
OMG... this forum then is starting to sound like the mafia and not 'enthusiasts'.
I believe theree's a simple solution. Start up another website where you can have your 'ELITE?' group instead of the one NULLSOFT have put together so that ALL users can ask questions and SHARE information FREELY.
For the reasons I just stated, I must say that you really don't belong here in the first place, so you shouldn't be making judgements on the "elite" group of users who actually CONTRIBUTE to this board. What information have YOU shared on this forum? What have YOU done? If you hate us so much, then GO START YOUR OWN DAMN FORUM.
Oh - and one more thing - eat shit and die, cunt :mad:


p.s., i think that counts as aggrivated assault, don't you?

24th March 2003 00:42 UTC

Well that was a helpful excercise - I guess pm'ing wasn't the solution. (As I suspected).


24th March 2003 01:02 UTC

Ahh. Those PM's that I never check because I never use them.

Just wondering:

By the way (just becuase I know where this would've ended up) I don't care what you "mean" by your earlier phrase - because it "communicates" hostility where its not wanted or needed. you need to learn how to talk to people with respect - that includes "n00bs" - which, by the way I'd ban you for even using the term. And I don't want another boring flaming contest consisting of your mild, bland rebuttle.< emphasis on the stop there...
Does this look like mod material to ANYONE? (refferring to the "i'd ban you" statement)
Furthermore:
I come here for information - not insults from a 14 y/o who obviously hasn't been taught respect.
I thought you may have changed since our last conflict. Obviously your fear of retaliation has worn off and Im in no mood for anymore b/s.
I have posted your comments to the current moderator. Im sure it will do nothing but I don't really care. You will eventually destroy this forum in which you seem to delight in being 'popular' in. With the forum gone nullsoft have no way of tracking users/developers. Without that they'll kill the progam. And where will that leave you?

By all means continue.
Does this look like MEMBER material to anyone?

I reiterate: eat shit and die, cunt.

24th March 2003 01:06 UTC

Atero: you made some good points also but you ruined it with your pointless flaming. You may be well respected but flaming from anyone just isn't tolerated. Calm down before you post. Oh and by the way people please dont use sarcasm on a message board, it just dosent work in text form.

Legohead: you've given up and resorted to putting down something that was justified. Most of Atero's post was justified. Just leave it now, we've established that atero can be annoying and he is respected. And we've established that legohead established that atero can be annoying. We've also established that legohead has not contributed much. Lets just leave it be and move on.

Who actually decides who gets to be mods/reviewers and how/when shall we get hold of them?


24th March 2003 01:23 UTC

I nominate myself, but my vote goes to Raz.

Anyways, to the, umm, secondary topic.

As far as I see it (and as we know), Atero do flames... appropriately, ironically...
Atero never really do "needless shin kicking" - It's like a police : violent at the right times (Not counting drunk ones). And yes, I know, Atero is a bit more violent than that, but he knows when to be that way.

Reminder to self : Watch legohead a bit more closely than others *if* I become mod - I'm guessing this will not be the last of his flaming.

Now, as the topic starter (and prolly me partial duty to keep this topic on topic), I say : STOP THE GODDAMNED FLAMING DAMMIT.

There.


24th March 2003 03:05 UTC

I agree Nic. This has gotten out of hand. Although Atero has a reason to flame, it still shouldn't be done. Legohead is the main one at fault, however.


24th March 2003 03:47 UTC

anubis - leave it means leave it. Im not arguing the point anymore.


24th March 2003 03:51 UTC

Good. I wasn't trying to get you to argue anymore. Just giving my $0.02.

Raz, the other mod's choose who becomes a mod. Watadoo used to be in charge of it all, but he isn't as active anymore, and all the other mods now decide things like that.


24th March 2003 03:55 UTC

Does everyone magically skip my posts?


24th March 2003 04:10 UTC

Of course we do. You are an idiot.:p
I've been saying that we need to do something actually productive, and I am about to do it myself. What's truly amazing is that no mod has posted in here. Normally they see things like this. Oh well.


24th March 2003 07:31 UTC

...and probably they saw this sensless flaming.

If i would be mod or admin i would lock this treat now and explain why and delte it in a week.

This treat started to get pointless long ago. (IMO)


24th March 2003 07:56 UTC

"Of course we do. You are an idiot."
i must say...that was rather classy ;)

BIZZMOD!!!1
ATEROMOD!!!1


24th March 2003 16:33 UTC

do we really want to entrust the wellbeing of our beloved forums to someone who takes the least possible way to become a mod "BIZZMOD!!!1", and changes it to fit his own name? :p

Thanks for the vote Nic, im not really bothered either way but if people want me to do the job i'll do it.


24th March 2003 19:34 UTC

heheh JACKoMOD


24th March 2003 20:30 UTC

Oh no, please dont start this, its irritating and pointless. I say start a poll for who should be the additional moderator, the main candidates seem to be:
Myself
Atero
Nic01
Tuggummi
Anubis2003
Anyone care to do the honours?

:)

Sorry I have not been around much folks.

But the question of Mods is what needs moding. Moving unsuitabel threads to the correct location banning people who are out of order.

The banning thing is that I have only banned 2 people in 2 years or something and one of them was in these forums. (I think only 1 of these is a perm ban) for attacking our very own neo-nazi virus writer. :)

I try and read most of teh posts but life has been maniac for teh last couple of months. Hell often I am paying to use Internet cafes PC's to keep an eye on the forums. That's deadication for you. :)

I do move posts around sometimes. More often from other forums (GD, WA TS) to here. And if anything needs doing then post uses the report to mod button I responsd to that. :)

Being good a TS does not make you a good mod. You want me to correct soem peopel presets to prove my worth :-) I once remeber otimising soem of UnConeD's :)

MOst of my work for these forums has been backstage. You wouyld not beleive the hassle to get the AVS review team set up and to get other things moving.

I personally do not think another mod is needed at the moment. Let alone who it will be. :) UnConed would have been great but he stated a long tiime ago that he does not want this. If he had the desired I could have worked hard to make him one - which would be a battle by itself to have another mod!

But this thread has proved there are people UNSUITABLE for mod-dom. :)

Oh stop the flames peopel. :) I thought they're might have been flaming towards me but it internal. :)

Hey, look. It's Rovastar.:p Good to see you again. I am going to say something real quick, though. I think this thread does show a need for another mod. There was a pretty harsh flame war going on, and it took some time for a mod to notice it(or at least to make it known that they noticed it). I still think that a second mod could help a lot.

Ok...mod atero already and stop the arguing and posting for no reason.

Phaze, telling someone to mod the person directly involved in the flame war won't help the situation.

Oh, piss off raz :p

This thread is really starting to get on my nerves. Let's either do something about mods/reviewers or stop this thread.

I agree anubis, this thread needs closing and either a new thread (and poll?) started to do something about another reviewer/mod or the subject dropped and forgotten about.
