The People's Choice Awards: Moderator category
Who do YOU think should be the new mod to the AVS forums? If you don't see their name on the list, post your vote. If you would like to run for office, please say so ;)
*I left UnConeD's name off the list because of reasons stated in the "New mods needed?" thread.

Tuggummi

25th March 2003 06:06 UTC

Well even though Rovastar said there isn't going to be a new mod (well somewhere between the lines he said it :)) I still voted.
Consider it as a "People's choice Award" :rolleyes:

Magic.X

25th March 2003 06:20 UTC

I voted too, but considering how fast my sensless treat has been locked by Rova, i still don't think that we'll need new mods.

(Good job Rova, dont mind me posting crap ;) )

Raz

25th March 2003 15:11 UTC

Out of all those votes i got one, one stinking vote from myself. Haha i'd be better suited a reviewer or just plain old nobody. I do think that only people who are active in the AVS forum should vote though. Otherwise its just a popularity contest (my popularity must be sky-rocketing) and the person most suited to the job may not get it.

Yeah well if you want a dictator - vote #1 Atero! YAY!

I don't think Rova will allow another mod - its the general impression I got.

By the way it is unusual to have so many people vote.
Are there that many regular forum subscriberS?

Raz

25th March 2003 22:31 UTC

Sorry atero but i agree with legohead. You may be knowledgable and respected but you have a short temper and it may result in unecessary bannings or flame wars from mods. Mods don't flame, they say, "flame again, and you're gone". Also i agree that although we are having this poll, i don't think Rovastar will mod anyone. Your third point i had already pointed out in an earlier post.

Atero, you shouldn't be an ass to anyone regardless of whether they're moronic or not. If they are simply point it out and correct them or ignore it.

anubis2003

25th March 2003 22:34 UTC

Rova isn't the only one that can mod people, although he will have a lot of influence(I think). I think I may ask some other mods and see what they think.

dirkdeftly

25th March 2003 22:56 UTC

i reiterate...would you guys lay off? the only time i've flamed someone in months is with legohead, and he really fuggin pisses me off. and you'll note that it was him who started the flaming - i just said as a mod i'd ban him if he continued to act like a moron and do things like needlessly insult people (which, you will also note, he proceeded to do.)

"Let him get in trouble - I think it will be coming soon anyways."

sounds like a 'less severe form of flaming' to me....

anubis2003

25th March 2003 23:35 UTC

No, I didn't say anything bad about him. I am merely referring to the fact that he could be getting in trouble if he continues to make remarks like he has been. I made no personal remarks about him. I did not call him a moron or anything else that could be classified as flaming.

Raz

26th March 2003 00:29 UTC

Isn't it ironic how the method in which we try to prevent flaming and pointless posts has led to more arguments, flaming and just plain conflict as well as lots of unnecessary posts than i've seen in the past few weeks put together.

anubis2003

26th March 2003 00:37 UTC

Yeah, but that could be somewhat related to there not being an active mod watching this forum(for the last few weeks, at least). I've noticed a lot of things being said that I don't think Rovastar or the other mod's would tolerate without saying something.

dirkdeftly

26th March 2003 02:34 UTC

Being a moderator is indeed great responsibility, but they still don't get paid. I just don't understand where that idea of payment comes from. Being a mod is a job you have to do with care and requires constant activity, but still you gotta admit that everybody else looks up to you also :)

Anyway, this thread isn't going anywhere anymore and i don't understand why im writing this :igor:

It's pretty amazing how a 4-month old (Forums time) person can out-voted a 9-month old one...

Just asking a mod : As much as a vote (and IP address) is private, can you check for any double account voter(s?) thru IP checking? (Sure, blame me for being paranoid)

anubis2003

26th March 2003 20:40 UTC

I know at the viralsound forums I can check to see who voted, and what their ip addresses are, and those forums are run off the same basic engine as these. I believe that the mods should be able to check who is voting. We don't want any double votes.

Raz

26th March 2003 20:43 UTC

hey, you got more votes than me, and one of mine was from myself. I'm not bothered either way as long as we don't get an evil, hitler-like mod :D

legohead

27th March 2003 00:48 UTC

I don't think they'll care at the end of the day. Besides two users may share the same default gateway IP. i.e. Atero may not be signing up to vote for himself - it may be someone on the same broadband network (this is by the way an example - I don't need another name calling tantrum).
The best way is to simply allow people to list thier names in the forum - and perhaps make them eligable to vote from a predefined criteria.

mikm

27th March 2003 02:06 UTC

I voted Atero.

It was a tie between Anubis and Atero, but Atero has been here MUCH longer than Anubis and is much more experienced.

anubis2003

27th March 2003 02:10 UTC

Just curious, experienced with what?

Nic01

27th March 2003 02:50 UTC

Anubis, that single post showed either your stupidity or attempt at degrading your opponent(s?).

Anyways, my vote goes to...
Well, you read the previour thread :)

Glad things went back to topic.

anubis2003

27th March 2003 02:53 UTC

No, I'm just curious what he has more "experience" with. There are many things that it could be talking about. I am not trying to say that he lacks experience at all, but Michael's statement was vague.

legohead

27th March 2003 03:16 UTC

dirkdeftly

27th March 2003 03:52 UTC

well *I* didn't vote for myself, we dunno about anuboy here... ;)
j/k, dun think anyone here would stoop that low, even for mod-dome :p

And I've been here, lessee...A YEAR + five months longer than Anubis has. Just thought I'd clear that up ;)

Tuggummi

27th March 2003 06:35 UTC

I quote: "Time doesn't make you good, only love and devotion to the craft" (craft meaning a devoted forum member here)

If it were a time question i would beat atero, because i have registered earlier than he is. But it's not a time question and Anubis has proven in a very short time that he is devoted, knows a lot, is friendly and can control his temper *cough*

So time is not the issue here.

anubis2003

27th March 2003 20:41 UTC

LOL. This is great. You have been much better recently Atero. I know that when I first came into the AVS forums you were really making a lot of people mad. As far as I know, I have only made one person mad, but he was mad at you as well.

Raz

27th March 2003 20:51 UTC

I sort of never noticed that you hadnt been making people mad. You just were the last time i payed that much attention and naturally, subconciously assumed that you were. You have my deepest and most apologetic apologies. No wait don't go i want to kiss your ass some more in-case you become a mod.

28th March 2003 20:57 UTC

And the mods that we have governing these forums are serious? I mean, look at Bilbo - he's not exactly the definition of serious. A mod doesn't have to be serious all the time.

About this thread actually resulting in something - I don't know. I think it should have a result, but I am not sure what the mods think.

Phaze1987

28th March 2003 21:14 UTC

we dont need a new mod if you think a little harder.these forums arent really the most active ones so one mod(even if he is a mildrop fan) is enough IMO.Anyway i voted anubis :P

anubis2003

28th March 2003 21:36 UTC

Yeah, but that moderator hasn't been able to watch over these forums recently, and even when he was here he still didn't spend as much time in the AVS forums.

dirkdeftly

28th March 2003 22:25 UTC

Anubis would make a good mod (no better than me imho, but that's just mho...), but 3 months isn't experienced :p

anubis2003

28th March 2003 22:33 UTC

but 3100 posts is, IMO. And if you are talking in terms of AVS, I have been doing AVS for much longer.

Nic01

28th March 2003 23:13 UTC

Posts never said anything about experience... That single post make it sound like you postpump because of that to me.

One point off Anubis for me...

anubis2003

28th March 2003 23:19 UTC

Ok, but that many posts does mean that I have spent a lot of time on these forums. What other sort of experience is there besides time spent doing something? Sure I haven't spent as much time on here as Atero, but I have spent more time than a lot of people on here. I know the inner workings of these forums(including a good idea of what it's like to be a mod - I am a mod of another forum that is run with the same basic setup), and know what the responsibilities are. And I wasn't trying to postpump - just defend myself, since I do think that I have all the needed experience to be a moderator of these forums, just as basically all of the regulars do.

Also, I have submitted a PM to a moderator about the issue at hand.

People
Just because there's only one mod designated to a specific forum, doesn't mean that we aren't all watching ;)
The "moderated by" column is merely an age-old traditional formality.
We were actually considering scrapping it at one point.

Some of the more specialist forums (eg. avs, milkdrop, nsis, developer) usually require less moderating than the more public/general forums (Tech Support, GD, Bitchlist, Breaking Wind, etc).
We expect the regulars to behave in a more mature and professional manner.
But from time to time, situations do arise . . .
Hey, anyone remember when a huge flame war broke out between WA2 Skins forum and GD regulars, over the stupid motm polls? The Skin Love forum was renowned at the time for being one of the most trouble-free forums (and thankfully, still is), but some of the members got totally carried away on that occasion. This required a heavy bout of moderating to resolve and restore the peace.

There are currently 26 active mods on the forums.
Some mods already believe this to be waaay too much.
If and when some of the mods leave (due to whatever reason) and the rest of the mods deem it necessary to instate new mods, then so be it. But at the moment, we don't feel it necessary. Sorry.

However, most of the mods are constantly on the lookout for talent, and if we do deem someone potentially worthy, we will start a relevant "yay or nay" thread backstage.
Noted traits range from:
communication skills
dedication and willingness to help
specialized knowledge (be it in tech support, skins, avs, shoutcast, whatever)
and general je ne sais quoi

If a flame war breaks out in one of the specialist subforums, and it escapes the mods' attention, then we would normally expect one of the regulars to bring it to our attention. (just pm one or more of the mods listed as "currently online").

Like I said, someone is ALWAYS watching.
We have discussed this matter backstage, and a few mods have pledged to keep an extra eye on this place, whenever humanly possible.

Your views have been noted.

Please keep the peace.

Have fun

If you'll read the thread entitled 'Muwahahaha*cough*hahaha* by d0rk, you'll understand the plight of the GD. Will the new Mod elected here be instated as a new GD mod to help 'clean it up' or just another general mod? IMO, only the GD really needs a new mod at this point.

either of them hasn't posted once, seems they just stuck two other mods in here to shut us up. The reason we wanted another mod is because the one we had already wasn't active enough but now we just have two more inactive mods, what good does that do us?

mikm

1st April 2003 22:19 UTC

I agree. They don't understand that we want a mod that is an active member in the AVS community. I would MUCH rather have one mod like Anubis or Atero than three mods like Rovastar (no offense).

1. I don't know anything about AVSing. It was this thread that initiated a chain of events that led to me being asked to mod here. So if any of you still wants to see this forum helping new users, I'm willing to learn but could use some direction as to where to start. Atero's primer seems to be a good place, any others?

2. I am doing my homework by reading old threads before committing myself to any actions at all in this forum, that is why you have yet to see a post by me. Do you want an informed mod or an idiot who "bans first, asks questions later?

Now for the bad stuff:
Flaming noobs is unacceptable. If a person doesn't know where to look, and asks a question that has been answered a hundred times before either: A)Ignore it, B)Link to the answered question, or C)Answer it again. I don't care what your previous status in this or any other forum may have been. The winamp forums rules contain specific guidelines concerning flaming, and many posts by many people in this and other threads in the AVS forums either bend or break that rule. Inciting flames is equal to flaming with regards to forum policy. I will not edit, move, lock, or delete any past posts, but be warned that in the future your post may be edited or deleted if it contains inflammatory material. This is a technical support forum, not a free speech/human rights forum. If someone is getting in the way of someone else getting technical support I feel justified in removing them.

I also hope that I do not need to take such measures. I don't enjoy silencing people, even ones I disagree with or dislike. I want to see more AVS presets doing more interesting things and that's why I accepted the additional role of avs moderator.

If anyone wants to discuss anything more with me about my role and intentions here, feel free to PM me.

Atero's primer is good but it has major gaps and problems. He's promised an update but nothing has been spoken of it for a while. The best thing to do is do what you're doing and search through old threads to learn.

The flaming is mainly just over the same old question asked at least once a week by one noob or another. "how do i stop avs from changing" or "how do i make avs" usually irritates all the regulars because we see it every other week. Atero is "teh n00binator" of the forum, he has been advised to cool it off many times but i have never even seen any suggestion to cool down from any mod.

Maybe things will be better this way, i certainly hope so. Glad to have a dedicated mod Gonzo. By the way Rova this isn't putting down your modding ability, we realise you put a valued contribution into the forums we just needed a mod who participates in threads and is dedicated to avs and can give a well deserved "kick in the head" when necessary.

Hey Gonzo. Atero's primer is the only current grouping of AVS stuff. The FAQ and Tips and Tricks thread have a lot as well, though.

Welcome to the AVS forums. Enjoy your stay. You too, Rocker.

Gonzotek: can we just tell them to search the forums and read the FAQ?

I *really* resent how this "situation" is being "handled". I respect Gonzotek as a mod, but this isn't what we asked for.

And yes, my primer will be updated at some point. It's not on the top of my priorities list right now, just remember that.

Atero, instead of resenting it (or me), or at least in spite of it, you could let me know what you'd think would benefit these forums. Another mod is not the answer. Throwing more fuel at a fire doesn't put it out. I rarely need to invoke any moderator functions in order to do my job as a moderator. Mostly it involves helping people to get the information they need and to get along with one another.


[Edit]Michael, If it's clearly present in the faq, then a link to it is the easiest way to deal with it on a daily basis. If you can link to other important information, you can not even add a personal message. A lot of mods and other helpful users I know in wa3 and wa2 tech support use text documents with preformatted vbb links and information to make it easier on themselves. Once you set up the list of links, it gets to be faster and simpler to cut and paste then to think of a personalized reply to every silly noob. Not to mention my theory that once they've gotten the impression that this forum is full of professionals, they're be more inclined to act like one themeselves.[/edit]

Yeah, but it does help having a mod around here, just so that people don't try to flame as much. Which is why you're here, now isn't it?

I'm hoping that I can be helpful as a tech mod as well as a social mod. There's nothing REALLY wrong here either, so don't anybody worry about it too much. It's nothing that a little loving can't fix.

I've got what I wanted. Im shuttin up now :)
All future complaints are going to the mods (they have been anyway coincidentally - its probably why gonzo's here).

What do you eant here.

You people are starting flame wars against newbies/each oother are the same that want new mods. Stop starting flame wars to get a new mod.

Sadly I do not trust (m)any of you enough to become mods. Lead by example.

The suggestion at ATero be a mod when IMHO he is one of teh biggest culpirts of the flaming (which is what this is a lot about) is crazy.

The most simple solution is to ban a few of you and the forums would be a much nicer place. DO you really want that?!?!

Each each other to calm down the flaming.

As for a mod not telling people to stop flaming it is all the f*cking seem to do here.

I am getting pissed off with this and will start banging heads soon.

Gonzotek seems like a nice fellow, but he has a lot of homework on the AVS forums & AVS in general. I wish him luck :up: & i hope he has a really fast cpu&ram ;)

I agree with Rova.

This Thread should be locked, it serves no purpose anymore.
