Staff Changes(?)

[PitzerMike]

I want to add that I'm sure that Hakeem would be a great global moderator.

 

[Devine]

I wuz just kidding ... + 12 rep and beyond for that dude

------

and on-topic now

 

[LiOneSS]

• i think lioness should be given cookies.

<3 :d

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I think we should give cookies more often.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

There is no reason to fire a moderator, if they just help sometimes, and don't abuse their powers.

 

[Devine]

Cewkies R tehnew repz!

 

[LiOneSS]

You can't be on the staff and do absolutely NOTHING:

 

[Rising_Dusk]

Pitzermike is an amazing individual and as such should be given +12 rep for his amazing comment.

Yeah, this place is never getting better. I've come to terms with that now.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

True, but just a little help is better than nothing, so no reason to fire a fine moderator, cause he isn't that active.

(I thought you meant me when i first say your post >.<)

 

[brad.dude03]

Yeah, this place is never getting better. I've come to terms with that now.

You bet. Gotta respect your elders, Dusky.

 

[Zombie]

True, but just a little help is better than nothing, so no reason to fire a fine moderator, cause he isn't that active.

You can be helpful without a mod status aswell.

 

[Hawkwing]

As for me being an arena moderator, I've been thinking about it, but like Hawkwing, I don't know if I can give 100% to it time wise. I can definitely try though. Also if Void was to become a Terrain Moderator, I'd gladly hand it all over to him and take arena on.

Hawkwing, would you be willing to return simply to help me run the arena? No other duties?

I don't think the Terrain Forum needs multiple moderators, and it seems ~Void~ is a popular choice to replace you.

As for me, If I did come back I'd be terribly inactive. Like I've said so many times before, I have other things to do that are higher on my priorities than the Hiveworkshop and I'd rather not distract myself with this site.

What is my point? I wouldn't really be a Forum Moderator. I'd more or less be the "Guy who does favours for Gilles."

Another note: Apparently I'm a user message moderator. Not sure when I got that, but I have it now. Seems I gained a few things Hawkwing had.

Yup. I had that. Have fun with it!

Also, could you please send me a list of your powers? I'm curious.

I think you should be a staff member, just take a global moderator type of position. Or staff advisor or something. I think people will get used to you. Once I started actually talking to you, I came to respect you pretty quickly, and God did I hate you when you first started poking around... no offense.

Why did you quit again? Because you think you got your powers unfairly? I don't think it matters how you got them. As long as you're pitching in, that's good enough.

 

[~Void~]

I agree with this. It's the community's fault (well, part of it) Dusk wasn't accepted, not his.

 

[Archian]

lol, you want to fire me? Ralle's right hand, the 2nd most powerful user at the Hive (by upper staff poll)

Well, go ahead. I agree, I should be fired. I havn't done my job as site & art director for some time now...

But know that removing me from office, does not come without consequences.

 

[~Void~]

Scary, but I don't think that kind of attitude is necessary. And to be frank, if you aren't doing your job, what consequences could there possibly be? Unless you intend to hack the site, I'm all out of ideas.

 

[Hawkwing]

I can't imagine what sort of consequences there would be.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

He'll be unhappy? Look, no offense, but it seems you haven't done anything in a real long time.

 

[Elenai]

Isn't all the artwork used to make this site look good...Archian's? (minus a few Icons and smilies I've made)

(I think that may be the consequence of removing him)

 

[Archian]

I just said I concur with Rising_Dusk's proposal. I should be replaced.

But you'd have to take it up with Ralle, if I leave the site.

 

[Hawkwing]

(I think that may be the consequence of removing him)

Pretty much.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

In any case this isn't the most pressing matter.

 

[Squiggy]

I just said I concur with Rising_Dusk's proposal. I should be replaced.

But you'd have to take it up with Ralle, if I leave the site.

What? You can't.. what am I saying.. you mustn't

 

[~Void~]

(I think that may be the consequence of removing him)

Well you can make us a High Elven skin :]

 

[Elenai]

I love Archian, he's mean to me in a nice way. And inspired my boardered avatar set.

I will miss his random 'I showed up' events if he leaves :<

And to make sure I'm still on topic...

How will this affect the hierarchy?

 

[LiOneSS]

I just said I concur with Rising_Dusk's proposal. I should be replaced.

But you'd have to take it up with Ralle, if I leave the site.

That's blackmail, buddy.

 

[InfiniteSeven]

Well, if its blackmail then I think we're going way too far. Have some cookies, and lets all calm down and discuss this, shall we?

*InfiniteSeven throws cookies into the air.*

 

[Devine]

it has happened ...
lioness is 1 rep away from having doubling my rep D:

Archian, leave or not but don't stick in the middle for fuck sake.

 

[Traxamillion]

i has happened ...

Archian, leave or not but don't stick in the middle for fuck sake.

OFF TOPIC:
STFU about Rep holy shit, this is not the place. Everyone cares about rep so dam much.

ON TOPIC:
Archian seriously...

I would expect you of all people to be a bit more mature about this. Your art is great, but you are around once in a blue moon and you know your not doing your job.

 

[Devine]

trax, fixed

 

[Vegavak]

It's called extortion, not blackmail. He is using threats as a way to protect his position. Which makes it even more necessary to remove him from power, unfortunately.

And mods need to clean up the spam that just happened in the last page if anyone expects Ralle to read this and take it seriously.

 

[MasterHaosis]

More leavings! And so if Archian leave,if few people more leave, then who the hell will left in staff?

 

[~Void~]

That is the point of this thread. To sort out who will be the replacements. Anyways, if the administration thinks I'm right for the job, I'd gladly take over as terrain moderator.

 

[Vegavak]

More leavings! And so if Archian leave,if few people more leave, then who the hell will left in staff?

Everyone should be more concerned about the quality of who is left, rather than quantity.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

And mods need to clean up the spam that just happened in the last page if anyone expects Ralle to read this and take it seriously.

He won't anyways; he'll just ask me to paraphrase it. That's what he always does.

 

[Traxamillion]

He won't anyways; he'll just ask me to paraphrase it. That's what he always does.

And we boil down to one of our biggest problems, an inactive Webmaster. The problems we are having and clarification could all be fixed witha little intervention from our Patriarch. The problem is, is that he is scarcely seen these days and maybe thats why all this Chaos and anarchy have arised.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

It certainly is a contributing factor. You can't just replace Ralle with someone more active, though, so in that regard there really is nothing can be done.

 

[Traxamillion]

I dont wish to replace Ralle, but we need something or someone to revitilize this situation and put his/her foot down and tell us what needs to happen. If i could have it my way I'd have a more active Ralle. So much for wishful thinking :/

 

[Vegavak]

He won't anyways; he'll just ask me to paraphrase it. That's what he always does.

I thought he might do that, but had hoped he wouldn't. I know that it's because Ralle doesn't know anybody on the site, so he can't take in their argument/opinion into consideration properly. I guess we're all counting on you to send our message to him clearly then.

If Ralle cannot rule over The Hive, I strongly suggest finding someone who can and will act in his place.

And mods should be in the habit of cleaning up things that categorize as spam, especially in the SITE DISCUSSION forum.

 

[brad.dude03]

This thread is a disgusting display of exactly why this site is going downhill in terms of the people running it.

The content hasn't really changed, the users wont notice much difference, but the Staff are just... all over the place these days.

 

[~Void~]

We need an assistant webmaster, if you understand what I'm saying. Not someone like Ghan who does all the backstage stuff (seeing as that's what Ralle does already), but someone who is out here in the community, running it.

 

[Hakeem]

It's not necessary for Ralle to be very active, but it does help sometimes. Right now though, the administration is not effective enough for Ralle being inactive to be insignificant.

 

[Traxamillion]

That was kind of the point of Ghans Job it just seems like he didnt do all that great at it.

 

[~Void~]

Because he's afk all the time. Possibly because he has the same job at 2 other sites...

 

[brad.dude03]

That was essentially what Wolve did. He was the buffer between Ralle and the Website and a whole lot more in between.

 

[Traxamillion]

We need another Wolve because like me many thought that Ghan might be the next Wolve but it didnt seem to work out so well, Like Brad said we need that buffer.

 

[~Void~]

I think once Dusk gets over his over-self-consciousness (how else can I phrase that so it doesn't sound retarded?) he can come close to filling that spot. Closer than anyone else, I think.

 

[Traxamillion]

I agree, Dusk has great intentions and means well but he also needs to realize that the hive is nothing like WC3C and he may need to bring a different strategy to the table when dealing with the hive.

 

[Xarwin]

I think that the community is running fine with a few leaks in the administration/moderation.
For example, I'd say start counting the replies towards this thread.
Moderation leak: Start counting the pending resources.

 

[Vegavak]

he also needs to realize that the hive is nothing like WC3C and he may need to bring a different strategy to the table when dealing with the hive.

I don't understand why you guys keep saying that. Do you really think he doesn't know what forum he's browsing when he's browsing it? If you really think he can't differentiate between Hive and Wc3c, do you really think he's the right guy for the job?

You're a moderator for Christ's sake. If you want him to step up and do the job, perhaps a little more faith in him is in order.

 

[Hawkwing]

I don't understand why you guys keep saying that. Do you really think he doesn't know what forum he's browsing when he's browsing it? If you really think he can't differentiate between Hive and Wc3c, do you really think he's the right guy for the job?

That's not what he meant. He means that the two sites are completely different and the way they should be run and how we should come about solving their problems is much different.
