Mostly due to the rash of spam bots we've been getting recently I think it's probably the right time to get a bunch of community moderators to police the forums.
I guess I want about 5 people. If you fancy doing this then you need to have at least one person supporting you. You should also make a statement in this thread explaining why you think you'd make a good moderator.
e.g.:
Nomination: Timbo
Supported by: My arse
Why I think I should be moderator: I R LEET
I'll let this run as long as necessary and pick the folk I think are best suited at some future date.
-
I'd like to recomend Belier13 and DIGI_BYTE.
:hovel:
:egg:
-
I'd be happy to do it, assuming someone will support me.
I'm a student so I have plenty of spare time, and am on the forums every day.
I think I would be a fair moderator, the forum has been generally fine without moderators for a long time, and as such moderators would probably not have to do much other than deleting spam.
-
What would be the requirements to be a moderator (like being online on specific times etc...)?
Just curios.
-
I wouldn't mind doing it, but I doubt people are going to trust me yet. Which is fair enough. (I don't even have a sig ;) )
I'm just saying if you do trust me enough, I'll do it. :)
(Although probably in a "passive" way)
I would consider myself fair, responsible, and virtually impossible to provoke.
My general motto is "Don't hate anyone", and anyone includes DIGI_Byte, and Belier13. (Perhaps this makes me too passive)
-
I could want to be volunteer too, trying is free.
Just like david iam studying and have very low reaction times to stuff happening on the forum (while its not at night).
And i think David would be nice moderator, since he's replying kinda immedialy to me around the forum and i think he's fair moderator too.
About my experience, only forum i am mod on (these days) is forum of one game (dont know if i can spam with link of it, but i can tell it if u want to see it). Also, iam ircop on irc.italianvendetta.com and services admin of the same network

Moderating is hard work, remember that guys. Applying is not something that you should take lightly. You need to be willing to be on this forum constantly. You cant just accept the job, then not show up to administrate it. You need to be mature too...you're going to be stuck with some immature stuck up punks, but you need to keep your cool. The best staff rarely uses their power, unless absolutely necessary.

I agree. I have not seen on this forum anything where a moderator would need to use powers, other than locking / deleting spam bot accounts and posts.
And the occasional prodding of bellier13.

Nomination: [db@]Megabite
Supported by: I guess there are some who know and support me ;)
Why I think I should be moderator: I usually hang out on these forums on a dayly basis, am old enough to not misuse any powers granted to me and do moderate some other forums for a while, e.g. db@-clanforums as supermoderator (7800+ threads to date), tremulous.de forums and various others in the past.
I don't need the job to be happy but it would not strain me either, so I could help out if you want me to. ;)
Danny
P.S.: I would support DarkWolf if he wanted to apply for the job. He does a great job administrating db@ and tremulous.info servers, always trying to solve a problem before using brute force.
-
Thumbs up to megabite, he handles things well. If darkwolf tries out I'd support him as well.
-
Thumbs up to megabite ...
I vote him too. Level headed and such *s*
-
I would like to nominate Megabite as well. He's very active on the forums and I think he should be a Moderator of this forum because I know he would do a good job to keep it clean :wink: I think David will also be a good Moderator so he has my vote also :wink: And DIGI_BYTE too :P Although I don't know if he wants to do it...

I certainly visit this forum at least once a day, usually more, I sometimes spend more time on the forums than playing tremulous :P
-
I'd do it if you ned someone, apart from that i'd support Mega getting it.
I'm normally around here or on the db@ servers. been a mod over on Dark and Light for over 2 years, so I know the job.
-
Nomination: Bazuka_Poo
Supported by: Paradox, Evil Duckling
Why: I have been modding forums for the past 3 years, im available to mod during most times during the day.
About me: ive been playing trem for sence may 06'. I have basic admin powers on the |SST|Tremulous Server.
-
I'd like to recomend Belier13 and DIGI_BYTE.
:hovel:
:egg:
Nomination: DIGI_Byte
Supported by: PHREAK
Why:for some reason i seem to find many bots. and i'd like to remove them or lock them.
and i'd second belier13 too.

Dude he was taking the pish. and if you find many bots why havent you found yourself yet?
I'd like support Megabyte and Darkwolf. They always have a cool head and have good attitude.

i'd support Megabite, Darkwolf, Thorn, caveman and aninhumer
-
i support megabit.
Nomination: Myself
Supported by: Seffy
Why I think I should be moderator: Well, im mature (don't you think so) and am damn good at putting up with immature kids. Im a funny guy also.
-
I suspect that Megabite, Smokey, and Darkwolf would all do good jobs. As such, I'd throw my support behind any of them.
-
If megabite still needs another guy to support him i m here :roll:
And because moderators are like cops (they work better in pair with a good guy and a bad guy) i would also support Lava Croft as the bad guy if he wanna apply :P
-
Nomination: Basilisco (a.k.a: me)
Supported by: Paradox, Dustin, Undeference
Why I think I should be moderator: I know how to control myself and won't won't be doing crazy stuff around. I spend a lot of time in the forum, mostly reading pming newbies that ask silly stuff.
Hope you choose me :)
__________________________________________
My support goes to [db@]Megabite and Paradox.
-
Nomination: Paradox (me)
Supported by: Basilico, Dustin, Undeference, Lava Croft, Seffylight, Aninhumer, PIE.
Why I think i should be mod: I love tremulous, and like to help the community as much as possible. I am a newsposter on the infobase, and run the sst server. I have had many past moderation and administration experiences, and run a few websites for clients. I am experienced with PhpBB. I also like the loose moderation style on websites, and try to moderate as little as possible, while still getting rid of spam, flames, etc.
-
*supports Bascilisco, Paradox and Megabite.*
-
I'd do it... but I sometimes go weeks without looking at forums I'm "active" on. So based on my (limited) experience on this forum and (somewhat greater) experience with the Tremulous community in general, I support Megabite, Basilisco, and Paradox.
-
I guess I have to do my say, my suggesting that MegaBite would do a fine job moderating these forums.
[EDIT] Paradox would be a fine moderator too, unless these forums get SST-ified :)
-
i'd support Megabite, Darkwolf, Thorn, caveman and aninhumer
Please ignore my name in this case. I've been administrating another comunity for over seven years and I have no real desire doing it again as my family would not be very happy about it :D
EDIT: Mega, you have PM :)
-
I'm for megabite as well. I'd stand but for the fact i'm going to Japan in 4 weeks and have no idea how much time I'll have for this sort of thing once I'm there.
-
Location: Germany / Cologne / Phantasia-Land
Erm... maybe we know each other? Anno 2000, Undernet, #koeln? :eek:
Danny
P.S.: Sorry for hyjacking, but I got some kind of a dejavu atm... ;)
-
I spent quite some time ( too much probably ) on the forum myself and I'm kinda of the low moderation type so you won't see me going on a moderation rampage :)
But if you need some help getting rid of spam and spam bots I can do that. I've already spend a few weeks deleting 5-6 spam posts per day on another BB so doing the same here will be easy, much less spam :)
-
And because moderators are like cops (they work better in pair with a good guy and a bad guy) i would also support Lava Croft as the bad guy if he wanna apply :P
I lol'd.
Many of the more prominent members of the community (i.e. Lava, Megabite, Paradox, Basilisco, etc) would all be good choices really, in my book. You've got a great pool to choose from, Timbo. :D
-
I'll support mega, baslilico and paradox.
And not just out of peer pressure either! honest! really! :wink:
-
I'd like to be some kind of lower-class moderator. the kind that can't do too much but still helps in a way, mebbe by reporting spammers and people being enourmous asses and ruining the forums and the fun and such... or something else i could do? don't mindlessly give me the stuff. ask other ppl what they think of me first :)
I'd also like to recommend Napkin (Chojin on the forums) as a forum moderator. he's a nice guy. he'll help. although sometimes he might be just a little harsh on some people. but, ya know, no-ones perfect. 8)
EDIT: :oops: double post

Hehehe yeah thats something like what i all meant actually. I'dve said something extremely similar to this if i had thought i little longer. Wise man, this guy! hehehehe.... my motto also used to be somtthing like 'dont hate anyone' but i usually kept forgetting that... :oops: But i'm a warrior! I'll punch myself through! WE WARRIORS FIGHT FOR PEACE! CHARGE!!
-
Ooooooops double post... edittid this post into last one.... :oops:
-
Myself I would probably draw the line somewhere between DIGI_Byte and Belier13 :evil:
PS : don't know you can delete your own posts ?
-
I can? ooooooo! Try! try! trY!
...
I guess i could.... IF you hadn't messaged and made impossible! xD
-
Well, you'll know next time :o
-
Lawl. Make sarcasm about me when almost everyone applied. Pathetic.

I'll second him.
I know him for years and he is only harsh to people that a) got warned and ignored the warning b) that get abusive and that is something I'd like to see in a mod *G*
-
Nomination: Me
Supported by: Everyone
Why I think I should be moderator: I'm on here way to much (when i'm not on vacation, which i'm not anymore and not going to be again for some time I tend to be around pretty much the entire day), and I might as well fight spam and porn while i'm here!
Megabite is good except for when he used to post a lot of requests for locks on things that really didn't need locking other than the fact he was tired of the discussion... I'd give him support anyway, can't really think of a better mod than the person who actually runs the tremulous.de forums.
I'll also support david, paradox and Basilisco, all of whom have a good history of being modworthy IMHO.
-
i'll support pie.
-
I support belier13
-
I already run a phpbb board so I know how to do it. But I'm not sure if they are even taking anyone ATM.

Now why would the trem-community be interested wether antidrm.org is taking anyone?
This Topic is about mods for this forum .)
-
vote 4 me 2
-
Mario for president! ;)
Danny
-
vote 4 me 2
I dunno... what party are you running under?
-
k everyone support me for free cookies.
-
vote for me, and get £100 each!
terms and conditions: you don't get anything.
nah, but is this going to be a vote / popularity contest?
or is timbo going to pick names out of a hat or what?
-
I guess he will get Belier13 and throw some dice for the other four... ;)
Danny
-
I saved everyone the trouble of posting their support by posting that everyone supports me for them.. saves space :D!
BTW.. what is with crapping all the threads up? Timbo makes a thread and we have people posting about belier13.. thats not even a funny joke.. try harder or just stop.
Timbo will indeed be picking names out of a hat.. a very silly hat.. with stripes.. and that has nothing to do with this moderator thing.. its just something he does on the weekends..
-
I'll support Chompers if he bothers to nominate himself..though only because my Trem scorecard now says "RAWR" and "Campers" :)
-
Are any of you bastards mods yet?
Hop to it!
http://www.tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1801
-
alright, i guess i'm going to apply for a mod position too since i gots alot of free time, i just need support and im in
-
I support Mega.
Mario, you'd be perfect for the job but I like playing with/against you. if you admin here, you won't be in the games.
I'm yet to see Mega play.
-
Thinking of it, having me as mod would be a good thing. You all suck but me.
Okay let's apply !
Nomination : Belier13.
Supported by : Check all post above this one.
Why I think I should be moderator: I'm better than you all.
-
I support Mega.

that's when going into windowed mode on trem actually helps :D
-
I'll shove myself forward.
Hard to annoy, only very slightly abusive (In a good way), admin servers, own forums, ect.
Come on every lunchtime orso.
I also know where you live. >D
Remember kiddies, moderation's not a full time job. <3
Least, not in this community. :3
-
Please cut out the immaturity and keep this thread on its original trackline.
-
Yeah and i'll support PIE aswell :)
-
Summation of all posts:
Everyone wants to be a mod. Megabite has a good ammount of supporters.
... Are there any people timbo that you might want to limit this list down to for nominations.. I guess the main choice is up to you not some vote, but I don't think the way this is going helps out much.
But other than that, can we keep the nominations down to people who are here a lot anyway, who plan on being here for a long time, or have been here for a long time, and are not some raging delete crazed speach nazi. Maybe i'm wrong, but I think thats what he wants.. and hot babes..
.. also if you want to state your support for me outright you can too.. My post does enclude all of you, so noone has to feel left out, but timbo might think i'm kidding.. I'm around basically all day.. I'm one of the few people who read the post timbo made a while ago that mods aren't post nazi's, I have a clan i'm dedicated to so I will be here for a long time.
EDIT(just for the sake of not double posting):
I've also noticed some mods around when there is spam floating around.. Not singling any 1 person out.. its happened several times.. Its hard to notice sometimes if your not around and keeping up with the posts.
-
Okay... I just want to do some last post in this thread and seriously name the guys I think are capable of handling a moderator job here.
These names are not a list of personal likes or dislikes but just a reflection of what I have seen of those people by now and how I guess they would do as a moderator.
I guess these people (in no particular order) would do fine: DarkWolf, Paradox, Mario, Basilisco, Stof, PIE (although I am still wondering which posts he was talking about I would like to have locked because I am tired of them... :eek:)
Danny

The following accounts now have moderation abilities: [db@]Megabite, Basilisco, Paradox, Stof and PIE.
Basic moderating guidelines:
- Do not lock topics/delete posts lightly. Less moderation is more.
- Lock threads/delete content of topics containing illegal/offensive material (Pornography/Warez/Cracks).
- Swearing and moderate insults are allowed, do NOT moderate this.
- Delete discussion of game cheats/bug exploits. Forward information to developers if it is a new exploit.
- Suggest cessation of excessive flame wars (by which I mean those which have degraded to insults only), then lock the topic if it does not return to being on topic within a few posts.
- Lock spam bot topic on sight. Record the account name and posting IP address then forward to one of Timbo, jex or Who-[Soup]. Once you have done this you may optionally delete the topic entirely.
- If you have any doubts, ask one of the developers.
Thankyou and good luck ;).
-
Yessir! and thanks! Already got 1 that was floating around taunting me :evil: .
-
can you lock belier13's account? or rename it to belend13?
or just shoot him.
-
Megabite"] PIE (although I am still wondering which posts he was talking about I would like to have locked because I am tired of them... :eek:)
:p... I shouldn't have said anything, it wasn't anything recent. I may have confused you with mietz actually somehow it would seem...
@David.. I shot Belier... however now he is an undead zombie..

@David.. I shot Belier... however now he is an undead zombie..

I thought you fought zombies with salt? mmmmm, salt! *drool*
or, as i saw in the british comedy "Shawn of the dead" they can be stopped by "Removing the head, or destroying the brain."
You DID shoot him in the head, didn't you Pie? please?
Ah, well. Congrats to all the moderators! Three cheers for Modders! Hip hip,
Hooray!
Hip hip,
hooray...
