Talk to the Mods!

Thought so.

Did Jacoby mention why? Who is in his place now?

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-10-11 19:56:34 UTC #706

IDK. I don't think he did, and IDK if they replaced him.

Emman_Jumpsong1 2022-10-11 20:00:13 UTC #707

Thanks for the info.

Beckendorf_Direscope 2022-10-12 02:15:08 UTC #708

Yes, he did. He felt it was time to move on, as he was entering a new stage of life. He also was extremely active shortly after in organizing the Aetherlight Challenge League, which was a major platform of his presidency.

I may be late to the fair well, noticed your tag was gone in a different topic and was confused why. Asked a bunch of people, and none of them told me why specifically or pointed this to me . . . Good to know why you have retired for the better

First impressions: honestly speaking, your logic to me was a stiffening pain (maybe because the oldest chat I can remember with you was when we were having a disagreement in the Law and Order topic ) as time went on, it was tolerable; after, I respected you as a person then after . . . You grew up to become better. I enjoyed seeing what you have been doing for the people and community here, and that you have constantly become a better person and for small efforts you have done for me which helped. I hope for all the best and I hope you do what you say to do and glad you tend to keep to your word and not get easily lead by others. Great to see you caring for people close to you and I hope for all the best as you seek to live a better life. I look forward to what you will accomplish and I’m sure that those that are under your care still and in the future will be in great hands. Take Care, may you be with the lord as he is always with you and may you live a life worth living. Meaningful days to you Buttercup .

I've noticed quite a few members on the forums with letters and numbers. Who is the task of "moderating usernames" assigned to, and what is the expected timeline for getting your username approved? Or if the position is currently vacant, is there a process for assigning the role to someone?

(I'm not saying I'd be best at it...responsive yes, but if someone is trying to sneak past a dirty name, I'm old and out of the loop on current slang.)

Emman_Jumpsong1 2022-10-17 04:05:49 UTC #711

System complications. Tends to get sorted in their own ways in the end.

Sierepica_Fuzzywalker 2022-10-17 04:16:31 UTC #712

It's usually done by Staff Moderators, who are very busy with other things. However, posting users in

places them in the "queue" to be moderated, so if you could post the unfortunate "lettered and numbered" users in there, that will help.

Beckendorf_Direscope 2022-10-18 00:57:22 UTC #713

Do you know how much money I would spend to be able to moderate usernames?

Emman_Jumpsong1 2022-10-18 08:21:56 UTC #714

Would it be $10?

Beckendorf_Direscope 2022-10-18 15:05:41 UTC #715

If I could go back to when I became a mod and known how nice it would be, I would have payed up to $25

Emman_Jumpsong1 2022-10-18 20:07:33 UTC #716

I thought you were going to say something like $100,000

Beckendorf_Direscope 2022-10-18 23:38:13 UTC #717

If I had that kind of money, we wouldn't even have that problem.

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-11-10 19:36:11 UTC #718

Hey mods. I had a question. It's hard to ignore the recent waits on Edit Requesting and the fact that it's been a long time since there was really a mod presence on the forums. I know most of you guys are still here, and that you have school and all, but it just seems like you guys don't have as much energy anymore. Is this accurate?

caleb_Larkmagnet1 2022-11-10 19:43:27 UTC #719

i think we dont need mods anymore and we should all just be able to edit our own posts

Nautilus_Lightblast 2022-11-10 21:28:13 UTC #720

Bold move, young Larkmagnet.

I disagree.

While I acknowledge the fact that the mods have their own lives, and that it seems they haven't been monitoring the forums 24/7 lately, I think we should cut them some slack, considering we only have Iliara, Hanna, Beckendorf, Hans, and Emily as community moderators, and that a couple mods have resigned recently.

It'll all work out eventually, we'll just need to be patient.

Hans_Oddcraft 2022-11-10 23:03:40 UTC #721

Honestly, the Editing Requests shouldn't be a gauge of mod activity since it's really a totally bonus service that we have no obligation to carry out, so we don't usually rush to do the edits.

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-11-11 01:01:40 UTC #722

True. That makes since. However, you guys sometimes are quicker than other I guess.

Hanna_Brassheart 2022-11-11 08:04:22 UTC #723

As for me, I am active but not present if that makes sense. I log on and read almost every day. I just don't post that much anymore.

Sierepica_Fuzzywalker 2022-11-13 03:38:01 UTC #724

checks Edit Requesting

Given that the edits requested that haven't been done are kind of ridiculous and huge, it's understandable why they haven't been done. When I ask for simple typos to be fixed, the mods respond rather quickly and change them for me. It's the requests for massive change that tend to linger.
