Mod Suggestion

That, my friend, is something I can wholly agree with.

No such thing. Mods are supposed to be good at what they're doing and do it fast. How could there be such mod when nobody would get a chance longer then a month?

deviantART: where ART meets application!

Gallery directors get changed each year.

It works better there because there's such a huge userbase so there's always someone to fill the position. Here, however, I doubt that'd work because our userbase (the actual useable part) is much smaller.

Actually, I used to review moderators at one point of THW, long time ago, and it was secret. Not that it matters now.

HT reviewed me poorly D:

Haha xD In fact, I've reviewed only moderators ralle asked me to, no raging included.

I guess that depends on Mecheon's definition of "successful", but I would hardly consider the cycling method valid for any site.

As I see it half of the active users of this site have, at some point, been moderator already.
Considering that, how could the regular users ever respect the mods here?

At wc3c on the other hand, all moderators have been doing their thing for years now. Therefore their opinions are highly valued and respected by all members.
So I guess what I'm saying is that you need less fluctuation and more long-term staffies, people who do it with dedication, not just for the title.
How to find those I don't know :(

With PurplePoot you had someone like that, but you managed to drive him away somehow ...

As for the greatest part of the staff...

Ooo, you're a sly one

Except that they don't rotate through moderators like he's suggesting. Plus they have a larger group of competent people there to choose from

In the last few days lingering in chat during my free time at work, to ask a few questions about memory space I'd been wanting answered, I found out a lot about The Hive's staff and userbase. A few things I found really made everything so much clearer.

The Hive's active users and staff are mostly teenagers(there are a few I have not asked)-- Not older gents like myself, but 14-18 year old kids in high school. While you folks of that age group may not have come to understand it yet, the teenage years are the most volatile and a time where hormones run rampant. Because of this, kids of that age lash out, argue, fight for no reason, take major offense to the lightest of jokes, try to prove they're better than others, claim their dominant place in groups, or even make stupid decisions under the false assumption that they're right simply because they think they are.

I've witnessed stupid commenting, pointless arguing, fight picking, and all sorts of angsty teenage displays throughout. By both new users, active users, and moderators.

The rate of which teenage e-peen is being thrown around here is absolutely disgusting. And I hope everyone, as well as Ralle, can step back from everything and think about how what I've said pans out. Because if I'm not mistaken in my observations, they hold a large share in the events that have unfolded here and in the events to come.

True.

Fuck you, cunt! WHAR IS YOUR E-PEEN NAOW!?!?!!!?!

Honestly, I see adults act like twats on the internet all the time, and then I see kids that know nothing but respect and serious business. There are examples of both on this website. Not everyone is a statistic, especially on the internet.

I've got to agree with brad. Don't put them all on a single bag.
While most of what you said is true, your attitude towards my action of negative-repping you was immature, considering how insignificant both the 2 negative points you received and the reputation system itself are.
