Do you have suggestions, complaints, or compliments as to how the moderator staff is performing? Voice your opinions here.

Make this thread helpful for the mods.

Mods are members, also. So member bashing is not allowed, as always. Don't make it a personal vendetta, please. Keep the bashing at 0%, please.

Any moderator has the right to close and unpin this thread at the signs of bashing, pointlessness, and/or any other guideline breaker.

I do hope this works out. I want to stress that this is not the place for personal attacks. If you really have to, keep it in the PM system between you and the mod. This thread is here to help mods work better with members.


So...your thoughts?



EDIT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

To avoid redundancy and to leave room for valid comments, posts consist of concerns/suggestions that have been addressed will be deleted. Please do not post something someone already brought up because your post will be considered as spam. The only exception to this rule is compliments.

Also, please do not make this thread into a full scale discussion. Its main purpose is for members to evalute moderator performance. If your question/concern has been answer, cease to post here until you have another concern. Thank you.

overall i think the performance is okay but i have noticed that there are mods that are verrrry unactive

Yes I've noticed that too.
Some mods hardly come on once a week.
I think the mods should be on CB like once every few days, or something like that.

I don't know if this is just me... but it seems like some mods are SORT OF abusing their mod powers. They can re-open closed topics and add their reply and close it again. They can also spam for a while before closing the topics. Oh well, I guess it's just me then.

i agree with ^
some of the mods open a topic, write their response and close it again..
but other than that i think they r doing a good job..

For the most part I think the mods are doing a good job, I suggest maybe adding a few more people that can handle the responsiblity of being one.

I think the mods are doing a good job too, though some of them are barely ever on. But otherwise,

just keep doing your jobs.

its kinda what you're for

keep up the good work is all i have to say

Most of the mods are doing ok. Good job

I can't really complain about the mods, except that there is a...selected few who isn't exactly helping.
Most of the topics are being closed when needed to, so that's good.

Most mods have been doing a good job, but I've noticed that some of them haven't exactly been active at createblog.

Yall are doin great. Just chill on the closing a lil

I think they're all doing OK..

The reason some of them are not active...is because there are already many mods already. By the time they see the thread, it is most likely that it is already closed.

Personally...I would not see much use of myself if I was a mod right now.

We have to close what is needed to be closed. Not close a maximum number of topics a day just that it will be consistent.

i dont really have a problem with any of the mods...
~i do notice (like some of them above me said) that they'll open a topic back up, say their 2 cents and then close it back up
~some seem to have major attitude problems (not to me)

i agree with most of the people up there...all of the mods are doing a great job closing, pinning and moderating in general; but i have noticed that some of the mods are not on as much i think they should be but they have their owns lives.

keep up the good work!

If you havn't noticed, most mods do that because they were in the middle of writing their response. When they added their reply, it got closed, so they re-open it to say what they wanted to say... They aren't really abusing their powers, it's just an advantage you have.

Totally agree, we need more mature mods

Fae's General Response To Comments:

1) Certain actions shall be taken against inactive mods, but do keep in mind that two-three days of absence can hardly equal inactivity. Such responsibility, however, lies with administrators so please DO NOT be concerned with our staffing problems.
We moderators have the responsibility to let other staff, not members, know of our temporary leave. This, of course, means that certain leaves ARE EXCUSED .

2) I can formulate a better respond to 'problem' of closing, reopening a topic to respond, and then closing it again if I can understand WHY it is such a big deal to you all. Help me understand why.

3) Moderators are mature, however, we do have feelings just like everyone else. This should explain why we are ofttimes 'playful' and will respond sometimes harshly to PERSONAL negativity towards us. Being a moderator shouldn't mean we must rid ourselves of feelings. This is a ridiculous expectation.

Thank you for everyone's positive feedback AND suggestions to how we can better ourselves.

Staff, please feel free to add on to this or edit it.

I, personally, don't think you mods should even have to defend yourselves! You are trying your hardest and are only human. I think you guys are doing great. Sure, sometimes I wish I was a mod so I could close a stupid topic, but I know that it will eventually done.

Most of the comments are just stupid, petty thing. Wow, they get to add a reply and you don't. Get over it.

Also, as Fae stated, THEY ARE HUMANS TOO. That does mean they will get pissed if you attack them.

Yeah, I agree.
Sometimes, however, when mods leave for a few weeks or months, they only announce it backstage. I noticed that when I had the access....So that is in their defense a bit.

Overall, I think you're doing fine..

Mods are actually doing a great job , no complaints whatsoever.

But I think we need more Mods , ( im here 24/7 hehe ) , but seriously just a few like , 3 or 4.

i agree with emmaliev. but yeah overall, they're doing their job to the best of their abilities and just keep it up.

honestly, i really think that alot of the people staff should be demodded.

why?
i was demodded for not having enough moderator actions, but when i could, i took action. now there are about a million topics on "what religion are you?" and stuff like that, and mods just seem to glaze over it. anyway, alot of them are inactive anyway.

i think that we have way too MANY mods ;x

most of the staff is doing a great job though, except those who are all like.. un good.

yes.
that is what i am thinking.
they need to change their attitude.
*nods*
at least try to act nice.
