Do we need more resource moderators?

[HappyTauren]

Yes, there are resources that are staying in pending category for a long time. What do you think about it?

 

[Kwaliti]

Indeed, we need more resource mods.

 

[Kimbo]

Yes, I agree but what sections mainly?

For map section or larger areas or spells I think something needs to be done there.
As for spells, if Hindyhat aint a spell mod, i highly suggest he become one.

 

[skrab]

Why don't you promote Mechanical Man, for a resource moderator Models

 

[LiOneSS]

Yes we need more

 

[Kwaliti]

I have a shitload of time to moderate, however nobody will pick me in a million years.

Made an reply in order to log in... going to edit this when I can see the tread...

Edit: Logged in... by not logging in.. something is strange.. but hey I could vote now.

 

[Pyritie]

We already have tons of maps mods. We need more spell ones especially.

And don't just give existing resource mods more sections. That's redundant.

 

[Dr Super Good]

A lot of our mods are missing for now atleast. Probably due to christmas comming soon but anyway I dought we really need more. We may consider more once the new recource sections are up but until then we will probably get along fine with what we have for now atleast.

 

[Traxamillion]

ok ok guys fine ill be a moderator lol

 

[Pyritie]

Rule #1 of becoming a moderator: You don't ask for the position.
Rule #2 of becoming a moderator: You don't whine about being told that you can't ask for the position.

I should know...

 

[madcat2]

More resource mods wouldnt be bad or co mods 0_0.
there are many willing to be mod but only a few are good enough and thats why mod hunting is hard .

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Yes, we need at least one more model moderator to make up for me not doing it.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

We need a lot new resource mods and we need to fire the inactive mods, which there is getting a lot of again.

 

[Pyritie]

Or ask what position they'd like to be in. Like purgeandfire wants to be a spell mod (he is good with jass), but he's stuck being a map mod.

 

[link598]

i think we need more resource mods.

 

[DesKaladA]

Yes more resource mods would be helpfull

Really the incative ones need to be droped and active people need to fill those shues

 

[Deep Sea Kraken]

Well, there should be a couple more rescource mods, but I think they should be older members, with at least 600 posts and no less than 50 rep, but idk what the cratria are (yes I realise that would cut me out of the running, but I really don't care). They should also have to have an approved item in the section they are moderating (i.e. they have to have a model/skin/icon/map/etc that was approved)

 

[Pyritie]

If anything, they should be the best of the best at what they do.

So General Frank for example is very good at modeling (even though it's just geomerging), which is why he's a resource moderator.

You also need to have a lot of good work to showcase, which is why I, with over 3,000 posts and over 375 rep isn't a resource mod yet. Because I hardly ever submit anything is why.

 

[DesKaladA]

ya i think thats a good idea not that it can be applyed in every situation

 

[Deep Sea Kraken]

There is an entire page of unmodderated stuff floating around in the modeling section.

Tere deffinately need to be more rescource mods, even if they are "emergency" rescource mods that only have the mod abilities when there is a backlog of models.

 

[HINDYhat]

As for spells, if Hindyhat aint a spell mod, i highly suggest he become one.

I'd LOVE to be a moderator. <3

 

[Elenai]

If I may Pyritie...GeneralFrank and I do not just "geomerge" we mdl edit. And even so General Frank has more than adequately represented, and pushed geomerge and mdl edit, from a cheap and simple way of modeling...To an art form the likes of which have never been seen before.

But I think that more mods is a good idea. The more, the faster...within reason.

 

[Kimbo]

Too many cooks ruin the soup...

or something..

just dont go overboard with the mods things or they will start relying on eachother when they are bored or tired.

as for the model section, 70% of them are awaiting update. and about 40% of those im testing right now which i started like an hour ago.

No I'm just saying he doesn't scratch model or scratch animate. That's all

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

How good a job you are doing as a resource mods does not matter on your amount of rep or post count. Often when it is people that has been here for too long they are lazy, it is better when people are new and fresh and ready to work. Ofcourse with this I don't mean that every and any noob should be pulled in from the street but that talent should be spotted early and then drafted.

 

[DesKaladA]

correct

(i just wonder when i will become a tool mod)

 

[RED BARON]

correct

(i just wonder when i will become a tool mod)

Never... when you ask...

btw: does we even have a tool mod?

Mod is only needed in some sections.

btw: one thing, maybe a little off topic. But some times I expirence that the mods didnt actualy test the resources ingame and similar.

 

[Pyritie]

btw: does we even have a tool mod?

Yeah, like one or two. Only because there aren't very many tools.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

BlackDoom is the tool sections designated moderator. Unfortunately he has been inactive for a long time.

 

[Elenai]

The question we must ask...Is who is qualified to be another resource mod aside from the ones we have now?

 

[DesKaladA]

good question

i'm good with tools
so thats eays

but the outher sections are harder?

I wonder......................

 

[Pyritie]

Yes, and we could do with a few more model or icon moderators.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

There is plenty of qualified people, but not many who would do something in the way that we like it and as often as required.

 

[Pyritie]

...and as often as required.

Which is why we should get lots of them so everyone has to do less work. Far more efficient.

 

[donut3.5]

If we have the qualified people, I say we should go for more Spell Mods if anything. The rest are fairly covered, the General and I plan on sweeping the model section clean soon. (Or at least I do and I've heard him say something about it.)

yes but what about tools who ever dose that is not doing a varry good job

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Read my post earlier on the subject, DesKaladA. Our tool moderator is inactive.

 

[DesKaladA]

ok then...

(dumfounded)

 

[Pyritie]

Read my post earlier on the subject, DesKaladA. Our tool moderator is inactive.

Exactly why we need more moderators. So we don't have to rely on a few people to do everything.

 

[RED BARON]

I wonder......................

DesKaladA: Again.. you dont ask to become a mod.. that could be the reson why they doesnt chose you.. anyway I think you should learn to spell a bit better if your hoping to become a mod.


btw: I would say one important judging point should be how much the person is active... because if he is very very good, but mostly never active then it would be a waste to promote him.

I know that. and my spelling isn't a caring issue its a medical condition (dyslexyca)

 

[HINDYhat]

Can't you just revise what you write? Or use Firefox's spelling check? That would make everyone happy.

*raises hand for models/icons/skins section*

Split Spell Sections

I think that if the forum leaders decided to split the spell mods into 3 parts, we would have much more reviewed

Obviously, there are ALOT of spells that come in almost one daily

I think we should make 2 spell mod positions, one for just GUI and another for just JASS, although I think the JASS part might not even be needed

That way, alot more people who could be qualified for just GUI can take care of the GUI triggs

The are alot more people who know GUI (and submit GUI spells) than JASS
And, most of the crap spells are done in GUI, so you could have somebody who has all the time in the world just clean up the little things

 

[HINDYhat]

Hive actually has alot of spell moderators that just aren't so active.

Jassers are generally qualified to evaluate GUI... so there's really no point in two positions. People who just know GUI aren't skilled enough to become spell moderators in the first place...

 

[Herman]

...thats insulting

I use GUI because I can work 10000x faster in it (BJ's are just a bunch of natives squished together)

I'm sure there are plenty of people who could be a good mod, even if they don't use JASS, for GUI anyways

I could see shooting down a JASS section (what you said, JASS is a step-up from GUI, and you would need to know GUI if you know JASS)

But still, GUI mods would be useful (especially for all that crap people post up that really couldn't be useful)

 

[donut3.5]

Everyone knows GUI. If you can point and click, you know GUI.
If you get people who know JASS, they can moderate both sections, and you wouldn't even need a GUI moderator.
IMO a pure GUI position is completely useless, as is a pure JASS moderator.
Get people who know both well, and then call them a Spell Moderator.
--donut3.5--

 

[Herman]

Meh

Oh well

Theres a whole mess of un-looked at spells in the spell section

So I think there should be some kind of change, whether it be more forum moderators, or another method of getting those things looked at (maybe like a review quota for the times??? just throwin it out there)

 

[Steel_Stallion]

we need MUCH more map moderators imo. the other sections are less needing, particularly the skins and models section. because maps take much longer to moderate, AND we get much more of them. skins you take a quick look at it, judge it artistically or w/e, and then you try it in game, same with models. spells i guess are like maps, they technically are, and also need more mods.

but mainly maps, if you check the maps section the most recent approved maps (not including forsaken glads, because if you read the comments he already played it or somethin) is like a month old. thats way too long imo should be like at most 1 or 2 weeks. . map mods are easier to qualify anyway, because its alot easier than models and skins. spell mods should be map mods too because both involve triggers and sometimes jass.


IMO, the approval system should be that the map needs X amounts of votess from peeps with atleast X rep. just an idea, that way moderators can rest a little, and alot of users who are dying to rate maps and moderate them get the chance . (no i dont mean me)
