He does have a good point, although I don't think he was being serious. All of the Mods/Admins live in the same general area (Europe). If we had a mod from somewhere else in the world, they would be able to deal with stuff like spam attacks quicker. For the last two spam attacks, I came on when I guess you all were already asleep and was like "whoa wtf...where are the mods?" |

Though in fairness, not everyone would be aware of that, Andy I agree with your idea that the Battleground Sentinels group should be removed, Andy, and would also like to be a global moderator, but in my opinion, every member should put forward a nominee and then Sunny and Andy agree on it, since they are going to be the people who will work with those new mods.

Is a new moderator really needed? I'd say that making Alex a global mod would be enough to keep things running smoothly. Ok, so some of the mods/admins are not entirely active, but Kirby reacted fairly quickly to the second spambot and Andy got the first one sorted since he's very active. |

Rudder gets me :P. When i came on the other day i figuered it was when europe admins were sleeping as those bots had posted a few hours before I came on and the topics were still there. If a new mod is needed i'd say somene in a different time zone than the rest of the admins and mods would be useful. When you think about it we are already down 1 mod.. |

In fairness though, is that really necessary? The spam bot incident was the first piece of required moderation in quite a while, and the team reacted as quick as they could. |

That is not true. Andy, Alex and I live in Europe. Lachlan and Kirby live in Australia and NZ, respectively. 3/5 is not "all" I agree on making Alex a Warrior of Mjolnir. The Battleground Sentinel thing is obsolete anyways. The question remains - do we need more? I have not been convinced by any of you people yet I find myself thinking that one more moderator would be too much and that is why I thought about reorganizing instead of simply adding, but since Kirby has started to appear more often (same goes for Lachlan), I don't think we should fire them just yet To be honest, I just thought that with Ariakas leaving, it would be nice to restore the same amount of moderators. Second of all, I think that Gorfang's contribution to the community as a whole easily rivals that of Alex, Andy, myself or any other of the current moderator team. That is why I believe that he deserves a promotion. It would be in order. If it would be necessary is an entirely different question... |

To be honest, I think there are arguments for, and arguments against a moderator reshuffle. An argument for, would be that we have lost a very good one in Johannes and a replacement should be found, whilst on the other hand, in the weeks leading up to his departure, Johannes was not too active, and the staff managed to cope. However, I don't think there would be any harm in a reshuffle at all, and a change or two in the staff team might just be what we need to take us into the new year. |

Do be completly honest i do jack all as a mod. So if theres stuff i should be doing that im missing I dont mind if im replaced with someone who will actually moderate a bit more than i do.. But otherwise the way i see it is thats theres not much work to do, and andy and sunny do most the work anyway which leaves me thinking that theres not actually that much to do.. OR theres a shit load to do and they are just 2 awesome admins. Make Alex a mod. He seeeeeems to be a preety good guy.. Bt i dunno....

Well I won't lie and say I wouldn't like to be a moderator, because I've always wanted to be ever since I first joined in all honesty. But I have to respect the wishes of the members and the other staff, and I certainly wouldn't mind if they chose to have someone else appointed as a new moderator should we decide we need one

Kirby, Andy and I are two awesome admins. That is a fact
And I completely agree with your points, Alex. I was, to be honest, wondering whether we should not swap one of the existing Warrior of Mjolnir out with Gorfang? Again, it is only to reward his incredible activity throughout the forum with the privelleges (sp?) and responsibility of moderator duty. I have absolutely nothing against Kirby and Lachlan and I voted in their favour at the respective elections, but I think that times have changed since that and the question is whether we should be fair and give Gorfang the position or stick to the old stuff and make no changes in that regard. Note: In the above, the question of Alex becoming a WoM is not at all included. I only talked about the Gorfang/Existing WoM thing. Just putting it up for discussion, you guys. I have far from made up my mind yet, so don't start hating me or anything!

I think Gorfang would be a wonderful choice for a moderator because he is an incredibly active, devoted and mature member, and he would certainly compliment the current staff team. On The Desert Sands, an old forum of mine, he was my deputy administrator and his overall work made it so easy for me to do my own duties - I would certainly recommend him as a potential candidate. |

Very fine recommendation indeed, and I agree - he is one of the most active members, and he is also active almost everywhere, which definately is an important feature for a Warrior of Mjolnir. He deserves it. No doubt. But that is just my opinion (and Alex' it seems). What do you other guys and gals think?? |
