Moderator Reviews. Options

[*Azarel*]

People who want the position for the title. We periodically review our staff performance, and in the past, those who applied for the sake of having a nifty title never did that well...

This comes up in the chat a lot, when we talk about mods that are active and inactive, etc. Last night, we toyed with the idea of having the mods be reviewed every once in a while, after all, that's what Jusun says that you guys do, right? (Cited above.) I don't exactly know how the current staff members are reviewed, whether it be public to the community or not, but I don't think it's happened in a while. I also think that maybe the community should have a say in some of the reviewing, because perhaps the people doing the reviewing aren't that active.

^ I agree.

I just got back from a one month break.  Moderators notify Admins when they'll be away for a certain period of time.  Members will not know about this and possibly assume that the Moderator is inactive.. not doing their job.  I don't post as much as most mods.. I usually work on the stuff that Roxy mentioned.

maybe members could be notified some way as well?

it wouldn't be too hard- a thread with all the mods listed and thier status beside it:

on leave- expected back _____.
AWOL
on duty
