vaypourus Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 QUOTE (Scoop @ May 24 2008, 04:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>with great power comes great responsibilityThat is quite true. I was the #2 super mod for www.pbreview.com paintball forum for a long time. When I was there they had about 50,000 users and it got pretty hectic at times. There were many hours a day dedicated to thread cleanup, modification, and deletetion, user maintenance, rule enforcement, and answering hundreds of PMs about all kinds of stuff.When I went back to college I quit my duties there and now have a "Legend" status. All in all, it was really a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I would volunteer. I know I've questioned the rules before, but still, I would follow them and have others do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Thanks for the feedback guys!I do think it would be worth a shot. Remember that anything a moderator can do, another moderator can UNDO it. Only Mushrat wields the ultimate powers.For me, I'd like to see something like people step up to the plate and volunteer and then the mod's would take a vote on it.I think it could be a few laughs and give people an idea as to what happens 'behind the scenes'JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) I'd step up and volunteer, i'm posting/lurking on here all day as it is. It would be a hell of a learning experience for everyone involved. I know that most people don't understand the stress a mod/admin go through myself included and I'd love to experience it firsthand.

*HOT&SMOKING* Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I think it is a great idea, even if some guest mods don't make it through the month, they will probably appreciate what you guys do.And as long as they are watched over (which I am sure you guys will do well) it should work out fine.I am up for it-H&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 i think its a good idea, but your going to have to come up with a very scrutinous system of picking.popularity contests tend to anger peoplepicking out of a hat could lead to disastersetc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 QUOTE (iron molly black @ May 24 2008, 07:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>A lot of forums I'm on start people out with modding just one or two sub-forums, under supervision, then they work their way up. Maybe you want to try something like that? But hey, I haven't been here for long... and I don't believe in any conspiracies either... Thats actually what I was considering trying first...

mushrat Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 well, It could lead to abuse, but it would be VERY short lived, and it could hellp us find the next mod when we need to replace someone. And As was pointed out, what one person can do, we can undo. and you can all blame THAT person for a change... As for chosing...even if you don't get picked first, there will be plent of other chances so don't get torqued off if you don't get chosen.
