It's not like we expect them to do stuff, the current amount of mods is quite sufficient.

Lol yeah all 3 of them.

Are you not counting Frown and Goofle?

Key 08-25-2018 11:01 AM

We're talking about mods here.

The Batlord 08-25-2018 11:06 AM

DwnWthVwls 08-25-2018 11:07 AM

It's funny because I actually agree that the long time inactive mods should be un-modded but there just aren't any replacements around and there really isn't a mod problem here. You guys just like drama.

This is the problem tho. They don't need to be replaced. If you cut off like 3 of the inactive mods, your work load would not suddenly increase. I'd wager that it wouldn't even make a difference. There's just too many mods for the smaller amount of activity here. Most of the inactive mods were mods when MB was much busier.

What is the downside of not demodding them?

We have to look at them, envious of their janitorial duties and blue names. It's tragic.

Well, for one, it would stop this stupid topic from popping up every other month.

^ This is an amusing remark, but maybe there's a message in the fact that this stupid topic pops up every other month! Although de-modding people who no longer contribute is not an urgent issue, there are now a few of us who feel it should be attended to.

One of my motives for requesting it is out of a sense of tidy-mindedness. I know it's not the most visited page on MB, but this page should be a current list and not just some out-dated reminder of who used to be active here:-

https://www.musicbanter.com/showgroups.php

Another reason is exactly as adidasss has explained:-

Also, I'd beg to differ that the current amount of mods is sufficient. Or maybe it would be if you guys put some more work into it...;)

^ It rankles in my democratic heart that however much regular posters may contribute here, there are others who are accorded greater privileges even though they post nothing at all. Here's a recent photo of a particularly heated debate in the mod cave, which bears an uncanny resemblance to England's House of Lords:-

At least, to the credit of the inactive mods, we don't have to pay them a salary for sleeping on the job. :D

I'd also add that not removing them just confirms the general feeling of abandonment of this place, like "who cares, it doesn't matter anyway, this is good enough". Sorry, but if I'm participating in this place currently, I'd also like to see it run well.

A mod status is obviously a privileged status that usually comes as an award for active and positive contributions to the community. Keeping the status for members who are no longer interested in contributing kinda demeans the status and the members who still try to contribute positively... :/

For me anyway...

I think replacing the inactive ones with active members wouldn't be a bad idea. And have the members vote for who should take their places.

^ Less mods is exactly what's being proposed in this thread elphenor.

By my reckoning, if we count up votes so far in favor of pruning the mod tree we have:-

Members who'd like to see it done: adidasss, Fluff, me and presumably elphenor.
Members who concede that it could be done: Frownland, Exo

^ Yep. At least the first step is to demote the inactive mods, so we know how many "real" mods we have. Then decide if we need some new blood - and yes, why not have democratically chosen mods.

In the past some mods stood down when they lost interest in what is possibly a tedious task. To me that's the correct thing to do; to politely return the honour that you were given. It doesn't speak well of the innactive mods that they still want a chair reserved for them at the table even though they don't bother showing up. Better that long ago they should've said, "Here's my seat; let someone else come and sit down."

Agreed. Even when their interest in the place was waning, they didn't feel bothered enough to pass the baton. Kinda shows what they though of the position actually. :/

Sorry to disagree but I think it's quite clear that if there wasn't a certain amount of moderation in the place (and currently there seems to be a bare minimum amount) this place would quickly devolve into a 4-chan type of abusiveness, hostility and randomness. Not my ideal for an online community.

the only thing I would say regarding moderation is a clearer line should probably be drawn on homophobic language

I think the line should be clear by now, the problem is that there isn't any willpower from the current team to police that kind of behavior.

Dude111 08-25-2018 11:35 PM

I think everyone is being good here for the most part and the mods that ARE ACTIVE are doing well :)

Never used one but if they help you last longer then I'd be willing to try.

Hey Exo, if you still think I'd make an alright mod, I'm actually gonna have a lot of free time now that work is winding down, so I guess I'd be down to give it a shot

Plus, the blue would go with my avvy

I'll discuss this with the team. I know for a fact that Goofle wants you dead so we'll have to convince him otherwise.

Oriphiel 08-28-2018 04:48 PM

Goof and I may have a beef, but it's the kind that makes a sexy ass burger when we both get cooking.

Your av is purple. But. It would go well together. I actually had blue and purple hair together before. Cool color combo.
