Some users who would make good resource mods I would NEVER want to see with powers to infract and ban. Being able to neg-rep is one thing, and being a resource moderator got you used to that. Now, if somebody is promoted, they are overwhelmed with all this power and don't know what to do with it. Septimus, for example, gave someone 9 permanent infraction points to someone who spammed. Once we told him more about infractions, he more understood how they are to be used. The old ranks were good for that. Letting someone get more power in each stage of promotion. Now, there's only three stages, so the learning curve is much steeper.

The forum mods and resource mods were virtually identical in purpose before anyways.

Wrong. We only had the power to reject, approve, etc resources. We could not delete resources, delete posts, or edit posts. Forum mods CAN delete threads and edit/delete posts. That is a massive difference right there.

the staff needs to be purged and redone entirely.

What, so you can be admin? Oh please. You've done enough damage already.

Some people are terrible representatives of the site and the staff, but they do moderate resources pretty well. That is why the mini-mod rank still exists, because it allows people to help in the resource moderation without having the power to totally screw things up.

We need more map moderators, not more moderators with the power to ban and such.

exactly the opposite of what you wanted in the first place.

Fixed.

Regardless, though, consider that a GUI question may have a JASS answer, or that a JASS question might result in an answer that makes more sense to the user in GUI!
|
Wrong. GUI questions get GUI answers (except for maybe some custom script) and if people ask JASS questions, they're going to slam their head on the wall if people give them responses in GUI.

The very distinction between a trigger question in GUI and a trigger question in JASS is blurred in the first place

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME.

Now by putting them together, suddenly you've created a world where GUI and JASS are not so different; Were they ever?
|
Yes, they have always been very different. Ask anyone who lurks in the systems/spells section. OH WAIT, YOU GOT THAT REMOVED. MY BAD.

this cannot happen if the users do not support the admins. Please, for the site's sake, support them.

You mean admins + global mods? Because in your eyes, they're exactly the same.
