So what you're saying is that people's ability to moderate, in your opinion, is directly proportional to your like/dislike of them?

So you dislike me and that makes me bad moderator material, but you like Jill so that makes her good moderator?

Because in your quotes you're judging me against the "ideal moderator" are you not? Because if you're just using your dislike towards me as the foundation as to whether or not I am fit to be a moderator then you're pretty much a hostile witness who's motivation isn't within the best interest of the forum, but of your own personal vendetta against me.

In other words, you would surely abuse your powers against me at first opportunity and that goes against your original post - you must act equal to all members.

I believe you just made yourself into a hypocrite.

LOL... nice attempt at taking a shot at me, but I only moderate the Guides and Info section, if I had moderation over this section as well, it would be cleaned up and organized appropriately.

Right. To stay on topic;

"A good moderate not only does a good job, but is loved by everyone because he is so nice and friendly"

Would you fit both those traits heroin?

That's not an attack, just harmless question...

Because, though you might be the next mod on these forums, only (say) 2 - 3 people like you!!

You see what i'm getting to here?

Sorry, but that line is pretty funny when it comes to practicality and creates a nice double edged sword question.
"loved by everyone" - so now you're implying someone's opinion of a good moderator should be made into a doctrine because you may agree with it?

Obama isn't loved by everyone, but does that make him unfit to be president?

Before you attempt to detract the argument by saying "being president isn't the same as being a moderator", I'll nip it in the bud by saying both are identical in that by appointment both are given powers above those they preside over.

And to answer your question, I would prefer a moderator who could act within the same impartiality and objectivity when dealing with those who they like or dislike equally regardless of that person's opinion of them.

Also, would like to add that this has been added to the rules:
(since it needs to be in writing before certain people will acknowledge as a rule)

vi. No Swearing

Here you go again, blinding yourself as to whats right and whats wrong!

I'll play along though, nothing better to do since i'm back at work :)

Sooo;

Yes i am actually Wink With my taughts i'm representing the general public and the users of this forum, who i'm sure will agree with me once they read this..

(if they even do.. Somone like jill will say Tl dr and brush it off haha)

Quote :

Obama isn't loved by everyone. but he's loved by 3/4 of the world

There are 10 k users on this forum (right?).. About 50 active.. 3 of them like you. the rest think ur a prick.. thats a literal 3/50 ..

Now spot the differnce between you and obama! (lol nice comparison btw Wink )

In a business forum, you'd be brilliant. With your choice of words and your stubborness you'd keep everyone discplined and you might also make a few business deals! But Hey!!

It's a bloody game forum!! A user wants to enjoy himself as much as possible here.. With that being said, you tell me how they would be able to do that with a hated moderator which everyone steers away from?

Something that simple could effect whether a user stays or joins another community, and in the long run, the popularity of the forum.. Isnt that a big deal??

--

Meh. Knowing you, you will now just come back with some explantion or reasoning that has little to none to do with what i just said, as you just did above. But once again, it's none of my business. So whatever Wink

P.S. Swearing is only bad around people who mind it. If it's a convo between friends/ adults then there's no harm in it. We live in 2009 - No need to over dramatize a few words.

No offense Kiwi, but why are you trying to talk(15) about what it takes to be a good mod when you are no longer a mod?

P.S. tl;dr

Heroin is not a good Mod I posted this to help him, he thinks I straight away ripped this but I did not.
This is good for anyone to use, help users understand what goes into a good Moderator and how to become one themselves, if they applied themselves.

Kiwi, you're opinion is your opinion.
It is however unwarranted and unsubstantiated.
We don't care if you've been a mod on every forum on the planet.... we don't care.
It's not significant.
Your opinions are not factual, nor are they valid.
You are not an authority.
You are not an expert.
You are not a prodigy.

What do you want Kiwi?
What do you expect by continuing bombarding us with your former glory?

A cookie? A gold star?
Seriously, no one cares or sees you as an authority... nor do I need your help.

Why do you address him like he did a crime?

It's clear you don't like kiwi, but one needs to keep in mind; His intentions wheren't of a 'proud' or of an 'authority' nature.

He only wanted to give us something (which he once found useful) to read about mods , so he decided to share it with us. If someone has experience with something, why shouldnt he share it with those who are willing to listen? .. Because then we'd be the proud ones, if we just told him off for it!

You're calling kiwi out to be in the wrong. But he's not... Your reaction and behavior to him posting this however is.

-- You can note that as another help attempt if u like, in a 'seing things from all angles' lesson.

I could also note that it's obvious you dislike me and could just as easily point out that your intentions are not without a bit of biasedness as well or do you think that every forum member who doesn't agree with your standards, principles or ethics is a prick as well?

Should we go back to the flaming and personal attacks you personally made in the shoutbox towards me as being a fair and true example of model forum behavior even if I disregarded the constant swearing? Seeing as how you're trying to "get through to me" your sense of idealism and appropriateness.

Eh originally i'm sure he didn't post this for you.. he posted it for eveyrone..

if he wanted to show it to you alone he would've said so or just PMd..

You must've upset him and so he posts that 'for heroin' thing later on.

Nah, he has been on a constant attack mode against me ever since I was given moderation powers over the guides and info section. Since I have been appointed, he has gone out of his way to speak against me hoping to gain a following as an earlier post in this thread was documented.

He is only upset that he was demoted from moderator status and that a person "like me" was given it.

Now, since you're speaking on behalf of his intention, I pose this simple question for you:

Kiwi used to be a moderator/admin here and yet during that time it never occurred to him to post a guide or whatever... yet soon after Jill posts a thread that this forums needs more mods then all of a sudden Kiwi "rediscovers" some PM he supposedly received while he was a moderator elsewhere.

Should we count how many times within these forums where he has stated the words "I was a mod here", or words to that extent. Seriously, look at the clamor he made because he claims ownership of the rules for this forum.

His intentions were not for community benefit, it's just him posturing to become a moderator here again, nothing more, nothing less.

After he was demoted, his attention wasn't looking out for the best interest of this forum, as a matter fact he went and created a rival forum hoping to split the people here to go against fotum and join his. (He even pm'd several people here with the positions of moderators should they change forums)

His forum went bust and now all of a sudden, he "cares"... seriously if there was ever a clear cut case of self-serving actions, this one would be it's poster child.

First off

- Uncalled for! Evil or Very Mad

But then again,

Well argued. Meh i guess the scale moved in favor of you at this point, but i'm not gonna take sides..

But it would be a good thing if you two somehow found a way how to at least ignore each other and stay out of each other's way.

Because i don't think it'll ever stop other wise, and you'll have people like Demon calling us cry babies for it! xD
