    yo, for real,

    Does anyone feel the need to become a forum moderator?

    We are just to busy to maintain the forum and get rid of double topic, check content
    of posts etc, putting out flamewars :p

    I don't feel the need to become a moderator, but I don't mind helping...
    This is my 257th post here, and I don't think anyone can say I spam or post nonconstructive posts.
    Like Chocobo, I am on a lot here (even though I prefer to appear as invisible), and I'm often on the look out. I guess I was around when monica_boneasa signed on and trolled, when people with marvel_xxxx names signed up to troll, so I'll gladly offer you my help.

    If you do need many forum moderators, you may want to look at the member list sorted by posts.

    Being online here often, I can safely say that the 3 top contributors (roots excluded) are littlebrother, Chocobo and I.

    I fully support ice, if he wants to become a forum moderator..

    but will you give him full access or limited access?

    If you do support him, i suggest he has basic access before moving him for a bigger responsibility. a slow and steady transition to learn the tricks of the trade will be helpful, afterall, i think he also wants to have time to level up his PR game..

    so the basic access will be:

    1. moving double posting on the same topic which can be found in different threads to a main/popular thread.
    2. closing threads that have already been answered.
    3. removing unwanted messages in the chatbox..
    4. removing flaming post and trolling post (we can create a 2nd trash section in which he can throw these unwanted posts but this 2nd trash section is design to be review by roots and then roots will delete or trash the posts into the main trash section if they deem it really as trash and so on)..

    nothing more than those mention above, the rest should be only accessible to roots or until he is comfortable with these basic functions and then he can move on to the advanced function..

    We really do, the forum is a mess! :P

    To be honest all admins should automatically be a moderator. Sometimes we can't be online in game cause of work or other things but we can be online assisting in the forum.

    dont all the root/level 1 admins have administrative capabilities on the forum anyway....i mean we've got like 100 admins surely we can keep on top of it without having to add more just for the forum...

    Yeah all roots, level 1 admins have all the access to modify, delete posts,topics etc. Shouldn't we actually delete the old topics because i see quite old topics still in the list.

    you got 20 admins. and none of them check forum?

    Also maybe state the requirements for Forum administrator. as i see people replying here who have 1 post lol

    Lol yeah, it seems like one person made an account on the forums just to say he would like to be a forum mod

    Actually we have 7 root administrators and 27 administrators....all with forum moderation capabilities, as i said before surely thats enough lol...i mean thats 34 forum moderators right there, adding more seems like overkill to me.

    I dont know, because everyones lazy? no but seriously it doesnt really seem that much of a mess to me in all honesty...the occasional person posts an unnecessary topic regarding points loss or what ever but their usually closed n redirected pretty fast...ive not been here for a couple of weeks and things have definitely got busier around here since i was away but if current admins agree to be more vigilant around the forum regarding moderation i think we have more than enough...then again maybe a *dedicated* moderator wouldnt be a bad idea...just my 2 cents.

    Yeah I'll do it, not going to be as away as previously thought.

    Gotta say I agree with Davzee about having more than enough moderators. I clean things up when I see them, but I think this is the nature of forums... hard to keep up, especially with all the fix my crap posts all over the place. I'll make sure to do more moderating as needed.
