What do You think about Mods?

Postby Heleventia » Thu Jun 07, 2012 2:02 am

What are your opinion on moderators?

I think that they do a good job and help ppl. I think that they should get paid for their work.

You think they should get paid? Then I think you're probably a mod's puppet. :eyebrow:

The Mods are such a large group, and they do so many things.

I like several of the Mods, I'm even friends with some of them here and elsewhere, but my opinions on the individual things they do are pretty varied. And usually is specific to the issue at hand.

A few of them are gung ho at their jobs especially the one who wouldn't answer a legitimate question and threatened to ban me (question about how many warning occured) eventually another mod answered and fixed (not really) the problem...

Some are more nice than others but all in all they do their job

Ahh... this thread again.

Most of the time I like them, but they're a large group of individuals, all unique, some I get on with well, others less so, most of the time they're really really good, occasionally I disagree with their decisions.

ctrl+v everything else I wrote the last 500 times someone did this thread.

We had a thread like this back in April. It got locked after a few days.

If you think paying mods is a good suggestion, then post it in Technical or something. I'm just trying to help you out.

On modding decisions, I say they do a good job.

When they post on threads, they seem a little arrogant IMHO

EDIT: I don't like their decision on political nicknames

The mods have more power then you think. But they're still a good group of people.

What, moderators in general or the moderators on this forum?

Also, they're obviously logging everyone who clicks on the second option.

It's part of their conspiracy.

They're a bunch of boot-stomping nazis who kill kittens for the hell of it. Most of the time they're lolling around drunk in the Mod cave devising various ideas to crush ordinary posters when they're not performing sordid acts.

Degenerate ne'erdo-well's, the idea of actually giving them money is akin to donating to the Klu Klux Klan.

Woot balanced out the poll to 7/7!

I think they do a good job what makes it even better is the fact they volunteer. :D Tells you that they're good people no?

Actually it isn't. We have had multiple threads about us and will probably have a lot more. And honestly, we welcome them for the most part. We are human and if we have made a mistake, we'd rather find out. We'd also like to make sure that people know that we're human and approachable.

That said the poll, while probably not meant to, is a bit trollish with the second option. Given we're players too and we wouldn't allow this for any other group...

It's going to be changed.

They seem to be doing their job fine for me. So congrats and thanks to them ;)

As for paying them, I doubt NS generate enough cash for that :/
