Moderating

[skeptik]

I've said before that I thought Dodens was taking a nearly perfect approach to the job, so obviously I think he should still be doing it. But, hey, that's not an option for some reason.

I'm not sure Deron would listen to the poll anyway, so I might as well include myself in it.

The thing that bothers me is that there was no line of communication between him an I at all, he just left me to do what I felt was best, and when I was wrong in his eyes, he would just post about it and say how he was disappointed, yet he not once even remotely gave my any guidelines to follow whatsoever. In spite of that, I think I did a perfectly fine job. And of course when he demodded me he didn't say anything, to me, or to the rest of the board. I found out for myself, and then found that he deleted a thread in which I made criticisms toward him. I don't know if he deleted anything else. No explanation for any of these actions. Of course it's his board and he can do whatever he wants, but it doesn't make the situation any less absurd.

I hope you read this, Deron.

hey nec, how would i ( panzerfaust666, if you remember) be? should i even bother casting myself as a votee?

I think Deron shouldn't mod this one forum anymore and focus more on UM as a whole. He seems like a terribly busy guy.

What about FTL(For The Loss)?

For what it is worth I have about 2 years worth of moderation experience under my belt on a new defunct message board named Mystic Web (while not of the same size it was fairly active, more so than I'd say GMD is.)

I'm almost always on, and I try not to start shit with members, and while I'm not the most knowledgeable I do know enough to not be a dumb ass who gets stuck going "Uhh wut do I do now."

Just throwing that in the air.

Me too. I've modded at TDH discussion forums since 2002

 

[Matt]

Newbs shouldn't be moderators.

How bout me? How do I rank on your list?

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

I think Mort Divine would do a good job, but of course he will never be modded. Due to the whole kiddie porn incident and all.

k well thanx but i am not a newb. maybe some ways, but not with metal. if theres some other way you mean it, then im sure you are right.

 

[Matt]

For one you have bad punctuation.

 

[winds_of_creation]

^ well u spelt punctuation wrong.

i do have one excuse for that though, english is my second language. i moved here from germany not to long ago.

 

[Mort Divine]

I think Mort Divine would do a good job, but of course he will never be modded. Due to the whole kiddie porn incident and all.

Hopefully if anything Deron would see my acceptance of his decision even after my up front disapproval of it as a respect of his rules and my willingness to see them upheld or something like that.

The nazi's couldn't have it forever, you know?

 

[winds_of_creation]

once again im sorry.i moved from germany to canada.meaning english is still very new to me. thats all i was saying.

 

[Mort Divine]

You moved to the internet from Germany? That's immaculate.

 

[winds_of_creation]

The nazi's couldn't have it forever, you know?

please no nazi jokes.

 

[Matt]

So dodens. Do think I would be good?

 

[winds_of_creation]

See, that's why you can't be mod. If the shit ever starts to go down, you're likely to shoot all your kids and take cyanide with your wife.

You won my vote over, you have such a powerful and persuasive way of typing.
