Admins Options

[*incoherent*]

Alright, so I really hate to bring them into this, but I was talking to Justin about it and he seemed to agree. Yeah, they have lives, but it seems like they go for weeks at a time without coming here. It's been almost a week for both of them. What if something important comes up? Justin made a point about having 8 admins. Yeah, it seems outrageous, but what if only 3 were active. Here's how he states it.

have a minimum of active admins...

don't have provisions for removing admins, have provisions for adding more.

it doesn't matter if there are 8 admins if only 3 are active.

your opinions?

yah i've seen Christina posting around backstage, and Roxy has posted in Pictures from her birthday and stuff.
But i agree with Keira, it might be better if we just bring this up with them

You say that the admins were all inactive in the past, and cb didn't fall apart and all hell didn't break loose.

Okay, you'd really going to wait for Hell to break loose before getting help from someone? Seriously, I was around for two major spam fests and it wasn't fun when mods didn't have any powers over it and we had to wait for an admin to do what was needed to be done. cB didn't fall apart, but moderators were definitely NOT okay with hanging around and feeling helpless. I know it is unfair of me to say that you have to experience it to know since you've just been hired, but I did experience it and I was rightly frustrated. I wasn't the only one who felt that way either and all you need to do is look through backstage to find out.

And please don't tell me that cB don't fall apart when admins aren't here. That's not the point, obviously. The point, since the begining of this thread is that admins should be active so they'd make the right choices in hiring and to help when help is needed not wait til cB falls apart to help. That's all.

Roxanne and Christina are great when they're here. When they're not though, I feel that someone else should have the power to lend a helping hands to mods.

^Did I say "wait?" anywhere in my post. What i was saying was that we came to that "worst case scenario" where the admins weren't active, and CB didn't "fall apart". Why i even brought that up in the first place was to underline the point that we don't need a law about every single thing. Does that make sense? Yah i agree admins should be active...duh. i think we ALL agree on that. And now we are getting intouch with the admins about this subject, so something IS being done. ok, but what i'm saying is there is no need to break down every little thing and make rules about it.
I'm sorry you had an inconvience when those 2 major spamathons broke loose, but ur job as a mod is to deal with this stuff right? If you guys are feeling so strongly about all of this then why don't you add more admins. (not 8 you crazies, like another admin or 2)
And yah i think both our points is that admins should be active, i was just telling ya'll to chill about the admins and not do the sky is falling routine.
ok, so now we've brought this up backstage to the admins attention, ok.
but man, there shouldn't have to be such laws on every single thing. I mean everything about this site doesn't need to be changed. Relax, u know.
