Request for new mods So yeah, this forum is getting a little too active for me to handle by myself. Especially when I work 7 hour shifts dish washing every other day and am devoting a small portion of my life (and probably my soul) to a new un-wii-homebrew related project. I logged on this morning after a strenuous night at work to find over 400 posts I needed to read, too many of which required locking, junking, editing out fail, etc. In short: [u]I'm asking for a little help[/u]. I haven't run this by the admins yet (my IRC client kinda sucks http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?20,23432,23432#msg-23432Thu, 16 Apr 2026 16:55:02 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?20,23432,40462#msg-40462 Re: Request for new modshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?20,23432,40462#msg-40462
Now I'd like to reveal something very personal. At the time this topic was posted, it was posted because I was intending to leave the WiiBrew Forums and the public eye in general. My reasoning behind this related to personal issues preventing me from be as active in the "scene" as I wanted to be. And so I posted this 'request' as an initiative to go forth with disappearing.

However, many, many changes in my life were taking place and I eventually realized that my public participation were actually the only thing keeping me going on despite with my personal disappointments. It was my only door to personal freedom from my ails and I couldn't let it go. Despite this, I was still severely lacking in time and appointing another moderator or two still seemed like a great idea.

I approached a few of the admins with the idea (not any specific users were in mind at this time) and all of the admins I spoke to basically told me the same thing; Not to let my lack of time become too big of a deal. I was doing a great job and I shouldnt think otherwise because of a few missing hours from my schedule. You may remember an influx of posts from bushing and svpe around this time?

Anyways, another "full time" moderator still seemed like a good idea since, even though the forum was actually being more carefully monitored than ever before, we could keep a definitive full time watch. I pitched the idea of appointing bg4545 and DrLucky, but my requests were turned down. There was someone even I can hardly compete with as far as credentials are concerned (if you believe in competition that is - I dont) who was itching for an assertive role in the community. He was appointed after approval from myself and everyone else. His name is Tantric. And, for the record, he is actually very active. (I just usually beat him to the punch ;-) )

And so, the lack of "forum guardians" was cured. We had more than enough people watching over the forum. Still though, there's always a TON of nasty topics and users which show up unexpectedly and can't be dealt with soon enough. To that end, I think one more "full time mod" would be appropriate at this point in time.

So, today, I've reassessed the credentials and whatnot of everyone who's replied to this topic. And the results of my assessment are, to say the least, not going to make anyone happy. There is no one qualified to moderate the entire forum. Those exceptional at helping users solve problems haven't a nickels worth of enough knowledge to be qualified to lead the coders of the forum. And those who can haven't the rhetoric in their language to be taken seriously and with respect.

But perhaps you see what I'm getting at here? No one is qualified to lead the entire board, but certainly have the ability to lead sections of it. To that end, I will be having many more pestering conversations with the admins about appointing perhaps a partial moderator or two (after all, all the problems occur in those two or three sections of the forum). While I can appoint more moderators, please remember that the other admins are trusting me not to do so without consulting them.

Until the time comes when I've made a final decision on who I want where, and we have an appropriate opportunity to make some promotions, the current power balance shall remain as it is. Remember please that this is a big decision which cannot be made with haste.

In the meantime, I'm ending this topic.]]> Arikado Feedback & SupportSat, 07 Nov 2009 22:44:22 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?20,23432,40456#msg-40456 Re: Request for new modshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?20,23432,40456#msg-40456 metroid_maniac Feedback & SupportSat, 07 Nov 2009 22:10:35 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?20,23432,40454#msg-40454 Re: Request for new modshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?20,23432,40454#msg-40454 SifJar Feedback & SupportSat, 07 Nov 2009 21:23:15 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?20,23432,33819#msg-33819 Re: Request for new modshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?20,23432,33819#msg-33819

Ehm, Arikado never told you what his decision was. You were never permitted to be one in the first place.

And maniac, I think you'd be a good mod! :D
