modding: what does the job entail Options

[*mzkandi*]

^ You cant just add 4-5 mod more if there arent 4-5 more that are qualified. And even if there are, its still a bit much, imo. Ughhh....wait I think what Justin suggested was best, lets get off the numbers issue.

[*Guest*]

im not signed in, but its spencer.

so i guess they do have to be qualified. i dont know. lets just get off the number issue as stated and move on to what this is really about.

Job description of People Staff: Overview from I've read from the thread
1. Maintain order of the boards
2. Includes moving, closing, merging, splitting, and warning members, and making sure the forum rules are followed.
3. Responsible and mature
4. Practices good judgement
5. Friendly and welcoming - Some may argue that this not necessarily a requirement for moderators in general, however, at createblog we have people staff moderators, so being good with people, welcoming, and helpful is a major plus.
6. Interact with the community
7. Includes moving, closing, merging, splitting, and warning members, and making sure the forum rules are followed.
8. Be taking a job as a moderator, you agree to be active around the community, give input on things that would make createblog better, and lend a helping hand when needed.

add more if you want......

[racoons > you]

perhaps representing the views/problems of members in disucssions backstage?

[*disco infiltrator*]

Well, that's not specific to only People. That's everyone.

[sadolakced acid]

i think most those 'duties' are just things to make mods the nice squad.

good qualities to look for, but not a duty.

i think...

maintain order of the boards is the only job needed.

Spencer,
Yah, ur right, this is a discussion. Justin has his opinions, and I have mine. I'm not trying to oppose to everything he says. I just happen to think differently on alot of the things he was saying. To say that my views would be different if I just didn't get modded is very insulting. I'm not degrading against the whole discussion, and i'm not going "against" the committee in any way. I think there are things that do need to be changed. I'm sorry you don't see where i'm coming from, you don't exactly have to see eye to eye with me on this subject. You sound like ur saying i'm trying to go against what everyone is saying. "Justin and everyone is trying to pove a point"...yes, i know. I'm trying to put in my point too. I really regret even saying the phrase, "Cb..falling..apart". Your point was that you thought generally there should be more staff. My point was generally that i think the staff numbers are just fine. AND NO, i'm not saying that because i just got modded. That has nothing to do with it at all. That really was low of you to say that about my views and opinions. And just so you know, i do respect Justin and his views and everyone elses, but that doesn't mean i have to agree. I'm not the kind of person that just sits back and agrees with everyone when really inside i don't think it's a good idea.
So i'm sorry, really i am.

[sadolakced acid]

someone with mod powers close this thread and open a new one.

it's too far off topic.

or how about we just get back on topic form kiera's post

i like these rules, its basically the summary of what a people staffer is and i can't think of any thing else to add

[KissMe2408]

I agree with Keira's post. I can't think of anything else to add either

[racoons > you]

Well, that's not specific to only People. That's everyone.

most of the attitude3 ones are necessary to a degree for design staff as well, but they are still worth including

i think the representing thing shoul dgo in, but if no onme else agrees, fine

[*disco infiltrator*]

Well, I think that's sort of a known unwritten rule.

So i'm sorry, really i am.

i guess someone deleted my post. im sorry i offended you. i was just mad that this wasnt going anywhere.

my apologies as well.

[racoons > you]

Well, I think that's sort of a known unwritten rule.

thats fine, but then do we need to include 'practices good judgement' by the same reasoning?

and spencer, we are going somewhere... slowly but surely. have faith, everyone

[*disco infiltrator*]

No, I suppose that's pretty much implied as well..

Let's not include things that don't really have to be included as a rule..I think we're all competent enough to realize we're supposed to use good judgement and act responsibly and whatnot.

[*mipadi*]

Yes, I agree; we should keep the list of duties to a minimum, so as to be as simple as possible.

[*incoherent*]

and spencer, we are going somewhere... slowly but surely. have faith, everyone

i said that because everyone was off topic and not doing anything but fighting about whats right and whats wrong.

we'll need a temporary subforum during the creation of the bylaws. one pinned topic with the most current working copy of the bylaws.

do we have that or have we just not really decided anything yet?

[sadolakced acid]

i think the only duty should be to maintain order in the forums.

[racoons > you]

a nit picky point:

in kiera's rules, shouldn't number six really come directly after number 1, as it basically clarifies what was meant?

[*mzkandi*]

^ I wasnt trying to write them in a certain order, but yeah it should. *editted*
