Looking for an SC Mod...

[Sedgistan]

As per Mall's post here, we're potentially looking to bring a new mod on board who has Security Council experience. While the SC is fairly low-maintenance, we're hoping for someone who can spearhead changes to both the SC and gameplay.

Instructions on how to nominate someone can be found here.

[LollerLand]

Can I nominate more than one player?

[Mallorea and Riva]

Indeed. Don't feel the need to nominate everyone though, only players you seriously believe would be a good moderator.

[Cerian Quilor]

It is a pity Elias isn't around. I'd nominate him in a heartbeat.

[Topid]

This awesome to hear, as it would be great for the SC to have a meaningful function again. I'm hoping this means there's some plans in the work and we need new faces with more spare time to help it along.

Good luck to everyone!

Shame that NSA is inactive. He'd make a great mod.

[Bhang Bhang Duc]

Would not disagree with that - I miss his input into the SC.

Inactivity can always be temporarily. RL stuff, etc.

Email him in if you think that he's great.

Already did. Hopefully he comes back.

Hmmm you know if might be worth considering doing a a version of the GA's Secretariats for the SC.

You'd have a better selection of individuals if it wasn't quite Mod-level, and you could do a handful rather than just one Mod.

The problems of the SC are of a different nature than the ones of the GA. Thus, it requires a different solution.

It's bad enough with all the backseat moderators tbh.

If you're referring to players like BBD and Kaboom, then they're just helping the community, not "back seat" moderating. Those are two guys that would make pretty good SC mods.

I was a pretty big idiot in 2015 and I think that disqualified me from ever being modded.

Heh heh I remember that, but you've come along way. I bumbled around my first few years, generally you gotta make a lot of mistakes to get good at something.

I do think Bhang Bhang Duc would make a good mod.

To what degree does becoming a mod require stepping back from game play? I think that element is what makes it hard to come up with Mod suggestions.

That's a difficult question to answer, because it depends. While I was a forum mod I had to be extremely careful not to ever put myself in a situation where I was moderating a situation I was involved in on the forums, or in gaining an advantage over other players through the use (whether deliberate or not) of mod powah. I did, however, continue to raid and lead operations. As a Game Mod this becomes exponentially more difficult, to the point where I'm better off retiring from active raiding/gameplay.

Moderation is a position of trust, and even a (reasonable) perception that a Mod is using their powers for ingame benefit is problematic.

There there. Time passes, seasons change, as the weeks turn into months turn into years.

The sequels are always better in NS. Cheer up!

You'll be stopping at the trilogy I presume?

Naw, he's going to go full Douglas "Book Five in the increasingly inaccurate Hitchhikers Trilogy."

A bold strategy to be sure.

Keep the nominations coming if you've got good ideas folks.

Never say never.

My first post on the forums was a flame.

Back in 2003.

After all, even [violet] herself was officially warned by a Mod once...

I think everyone could agree her act of flaming would fall into the "worth it" category of violations though.
