If they're more global mods, why do they have the "Site Admin" title and ranking?

A lot of people ask that. I think they have a few more powers, but meh, maybe they should be.

I'm perfectly OK with Bob as administrator. He's a nice guy and although inactive, he helped me with the Roleplaying forum.

Also, only Samuraid actually helps Ralle, I see none of the other administrators doing anything.

Actually, DSG helps A LOT more then you think.

I say that they are some-what effective. I think the main problem is that there isn't enough moderators.

Yes, Wolve's gone. We relied on him too much. Instead of saying "oh, we'll do that when Wolve gets back" you're completely missing the point. What if he never comes back? The admins (and other people in general) need to stop whining about "when he'll get back", and instead get other people to cover the jobs that Wolve did

That's basically what Ghan_04 is doing right now.

I voted neutral because sometimes it's great, and sometimes it's not so great.

Oh my god. There are not enough moderators? There are MORE THAN ENOUGH moderators, the problem is that none of them do anything and for some reason they get to go around with the fancy staff label.
And promotion is not as good as it sounds. Some of our Forum Moderators were initially Resource Moderators, and as soon as they were promoted, they stopped working on their resource sections.

So no, it is FALSE that there are not enough Global Moderators/Administrators, and it is TRUE that we lack Resource Moderators, we have an exaggerated amount of members in the higher staff and a ridiculously low amount of lower staff working in the Resource Sections.
That's why currently people ask why this guy or the other were promoted and the Resource section (especially Maps) are unmoderated and pilled up.

Also, Wolverabid was important because he somehow enchanted this forum and he had a special way of contacting Ralle for immediate action, whenever something happened.

Some people shouldn't be administrators at all, simply because there are better people that actually do something, who could replace them. I voted neutral because, while some of the administration is doing an excellent job, another part of it is totally useless.

EDIT: Rui, you are wrong. It's not that there are enough global moderators and administrators. It's that we need to find the appropriate people for the job (seems to be going well now). We aren't lacking resource moderators at all... again, we just need to find people willing to do the job and who are QUALIFIED!!

I had to quote this for truth.

Which is more or less what I was trying to say. When I meant there are more than enough administrators and global moderators, I meant admins/globals who don't do anything at all.
But I don't mean it all, for example, I'm pretty OK having VGsatomi as Global Moderator because although he is in that position, he didn't quit working on the Map Section, and when he leaves, he clearly states his reasons.

As for the last part, I can't agree. You should spend a day at that Map Section and you'd see what I'm talking about.

Well, there arises another problem... The quality of the maps that we accept in our database, but I won't bring that up here, for the 10000th time.

That's why I opened up a debate about the current guidelines. All contributions would be great.

Well I vote sommewhat effective, cause it can always be better. I noticed that most of the recourses have bad keywords. Which causes the advanced search to be less effective.
I do agree with Rui. We need more, demi mods. I mean those with headhunter icon.
I would be more than happy to help, if I could.
Anyway, back to the topic. Some mods do a great job, while some don't. It would be great if someone manages to motivate the lazy mods to be... less lazy

And what do you need to be qualified for a demi mod?
Just asking.

I posted a visitor message in your profile. That'll be a better place to discuss mini-judging.

Ok, currently what Is the seystem setup and staff?

like:

|Server Admin-Site Admin-Staff Trainer\Admin-Community Admin|
|Global Infratction Moderator-Global Commplaints Moderator-Global Resources Moderator|
|Arena Moderator-Warcraft 3 Modding Moderator-Artist Discussion Moderator-WC3 Tutorials Moderator-Jass Resource Mod-Model Recource Mod-Spell Resource Mod-
Gamer Hub Moderator-Project Watcher-Off-Topic Moderator|

ect......
?

Well the admins and forum moderators are the only real ones with "roles" as such... the globals just, well, are global.
