Whatever happened to...

[Cliffio]

this is going in the main since its about this website, but i thought that we were gonna get some new mods?

only reason i ask is everytime i log on, which is alot, i never seen any mods, and there is soo much going on that needs attention, i just wanted to ask and see if there was something in the works or if everyone believes that we have enough mods, because personally i dont think that we do, there are too many threads in the wrong spots, threads that need deleting, people that need guidence

i mean by no means am i complaining about the quality of AO, but i think that it would dramatically improve everyone experience if we had 1 or 2 or even 3 new mods

just my opinion, i know we had a thread about it a while back, just wondering what happened

Is there a place where these AO Etiquette points are posted?

I've been here since March, and though I've picked up on some things, others have eluded me... I'd rather not step over any other 'rules'.

Since us mods are apparantly underworked and overpaid, here's the rules that too many ignore, forcing us "never here" mods to react way too late to do any good.

As members do not see the moderators forum (it's hidden), you will not know how much assisting, counseling, editing, warning, and banning we do daily. 90+% of what we do is never seen on the boards, we don't work that way, it's rude. If we have a problem with a poster, it's first taken into the private areas of PM or Email. Should we need to take immediate action, well, everyone sees that. When something happens that may require some explaination, we post a thread with that info so you can see what happened and perhaps know that whatever it was, we don't put up with it here. I've got a zillion messages in my PM, most can't be deleted until the problem is cleared up, or I get an answer back. Many are kept for future refference, and evidence of actions taken.

I, nor the other mods, don't do this for any accolades. We do it to keep the best, and largest, single issue paintball site on the web up and running smoothly and succesfully. The all too few "thank you"'s we may get, are put in a file to help remind me that you guys are the greatest and most diverse group that has one reason to be here....Automags.

Read the rules again, and keep them in mind whenever you post:

We want you to enjoy our community and interact with our moderators and members with our online forum. However, there are some rules as we strive to keep the forum "family" orientated, and maintain a "PG-13" level of discussion. There are also some rules that are just general "netiquette".

[RT_Luver]

yes, i agree. we do need some new mods. things can get kinda hectic sometimes around here

[Cliffio]

very well put shartley
ver well put


i did forget to mention and i can see that i prolly should have but i meant not to say that the mods here arent the greatest because they are, most mods @ pbc and pbn are jerk on power trips, here is not the case, i do like all the mods and thats an odd thing, you guys try your hardest to keep things running smooth, but like shart said it isnt enough, and im sure alot of members feel the same way. i just think that its time we face the music and realize that AO is too big for 4 mods, thats all im sayin

WHAAAAAAAT?!?! Mods get paid?
Well, If I was a Mod I wouldnt accept payment, I would do it for the good of AO!

I posted the other day with the title Just Venting, Sort Of. I was just very angry at the time, and probably never should have posted it, but I did, and can't take it back, only delete it . Anyway I can say, there are what 5 mods or so, off the top of my head, trying to control, what is it like 6000 people? That is a big responsiblity, very hard to do I would say. Maybe we should have more mods, or not. I don't know if it would solve the problem but I sure as heck, along with all other Senior members to AO would HATE seeing this forum turned to PBNation. When I am not in here im out in chat rooms, trying to spread the religion of mags, more so a idea if you have seen Dogma . I always have to defend against people who say.. well you know all the mag lines already, no need to post them even more than they are now. These are the people that come to AO, not even owning a mag, just trying to start trouble. That is EVEN HARDER for the mods to control, when many of the AO members get angry and post things back in retalliation. We mainly just need to ignore these posts. I am starting to feel like SHartley anymore with the long posts, lol no offense or anything.

EDIT: Now that I look at it, it isn't very big, how could SHartley type so much???

I know you didn't mean what I am reading, about how people in here have to own mags, but man, don't say that. I own a 'cocker, not a mag, I only come here because 1. mags are good guns too 2. people here also own cockers 3. this is the best forum anywhere on the 'net So, you shouldn't have to own a mag in here, and those who don't aren't here to start trouble, and if there are people without mags in here that are starting trouble, well, that's not good, but there are also mag owners in here to start trouble, and people getting ripped in deals by both owners, etc. Not to diss the mods, but a 1250:1 AO'ers to mod ratio is kinda high. I think maybe 2 or 4 more mods would be a great idea. Sure, four can do the job, but with eight, that's twice the army to fight bad AO'ers.
