<font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:04:31 PM): fair enough
Justice Augustus (5:04:50 PM): anyway, the reason I am messaging you was to discuss the addition of new moderators
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:05:06 PM): arr. o.o
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:05:41 PM): I'm of the belief that each forum should have at least 2 moderators
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:07:15 PM): ::nods:: Fair enough. Though I'm not sure we need four mods in the RP forums, to be honest
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:07:37 PM): We don't at all. But I would have no idea who to demote or move.
Justice Augustus (5:07:51 PM): All 4 are still posting.
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:08:21 PM): I like the idea of Idran-Kai to admin, and there's been some support. That'd be Jak/Shini/Kate as RP mods.
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:09:00 PM): That would work. I thought if nothing else Kai's moderator staus could be extended to the Fanart/fiction forums.
Justice Augustus (5:09:11 PM): *status
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:09:46 PM): I think it might be a good idea to go around and ask current mods and admins about their thoughts on their status. That is, if they still even want it or not
pd Rydia (5:10:04 PM): I recall Mike mentioning that he's not quite so interested in his mod status the other day, I believe
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:10:49 PM): Well first of all we can simply remove those who no longer post. So that would mean Pervy...and are FD and Banj still around?
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:11:03 PM): FD is around sporadically
pd Rydia (5:11:05 PM): Banj is
pd Rydia (5:11:15 PM): we can remove Mike and Pervy
pd Rydia (5:11:19 PM): just talked to Mike
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:11:58 PM): Done and Done
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:12:18 PM): who are our remaining mods, by name?
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:12:39 PM): Kai, Idran, Jak, Shini, Kate, BW, Priam, FD, Banj, Jinx
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:12:56 PM): who's on AIM?
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:13:14 PM): FD BW Idran I think
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:13:22 PM): ::nods
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:13:25 PM): wait, FD isn't
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:13:26 PM): FD's online?
pd Rydia (5:13:27 PM): okay
pd Rydia (5:13:31 PM): I've got Lex and Jak
pd Rydia (5:13:33 PM): I'mma IM them
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:13:37 PM): Jak's away
Justice Augustus (5:14:10 PM): and so is Lex I think
</font><font black>pd Rydia (5:21:55 PM):
pd Rydia (5:12:32 PM): YOU
Auto response from Jak Snide (5:12:34 PM): Playing a game right now.
Jak Snide (5:12:47 PM): ME?
pd Rydia (5:13:01 PM): Yes, YOU
pd Rydia (5:13:49 PM): gotta question
Jak Snide (5:13:51 PM): Shoot!
pd Rydia (5:14:04 PM): okay, so you know the thread in Discussion, Forum Update?
pd Rydia (5:14:08 PM): posted by Priam?
Jak Snide (5:14:25 PM): Seen it!
Jak Snide (5:14:29 PM): Not read it much, though
pd Rydia (5:15:17 PM): ::nods:: basically about updating the admoderatings of RPGWW. Right now, I've got Gus in another window, and we're talking about mods, and who's active, who's interested, and who's not.
pd Rydia (5:15:44 PM): SO. Here's it blatantly:
Are you still active and interested in your RP moderatatively duties of RPGWW?
Jak Snide (5:16:57 PM): Nah, it's cool to axe me. Don't check other people's RPs enough
Jak Snide (5:17:13 PM): Would still mod if someone informed me, but others can be told of happenings
pd Rydia (5:17:53 PM): You sure? What about your activity in OOC or Char Closet?
Jak Snide (5:18:51 PM): Might read them sometimes, but not enough to mod. Lack of time being spent on the board. I'd only read stuff I'm interested in personally, rather than every thread
pd Rydia (5:19:00 PM): ::nods::
Jak Snide (5:19:03 PM): There's better choices for moding that forum
pd Rydia (5:19:08 PM): gotcha
pd Rydia (5:19:22 PM): any personal recommendations?
Jak Snide (5:19:26 PM): Hmm
Jak Snide (5:19:57 PM): Nobody tempermental/prone playing favourites. Priam would make a good mod. Idran would make an excellent one
pd Rydia (5:20:36 PM): Gotcha.
pd Rydia (5:20:49 PM): I've been thinking about Priam as a mod, too.
pd Rydia (5:21:09 PM): Idran already is an RP mod. :P
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:22:36 PM): So de-mod Jak?
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:24:28 PM): it's "alright to axe him." Now, it depends on mod philosophy--the more mods the better, or do we want mods who are interested in their subfora and going to be paying attention to them? I lean toward the latter, although I wouldn't mind a few of the former as a few board-wide mods.
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:26:02 PM): I just want mods who are trustworthy people and regular posters. I would like 2-3 mods per forum, and this can include admins (such as Kai and Idran) who agree to act as the mods for a forum.
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:29:06 PM): Regular posters to the board, or regular posters to the subfora?
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:29:32 PM): Well, I'm not going to ask someone to mod the fanfic forum if they don't like fanfiction.
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:29:38 PM): I think it's kinda important, personally, to be paying attention to threads others are posting, myself. We may want to see what others think of this.
pd Rydia (5:29:43 PM): ::nods::
pd Rydia (5:29:53 PM): Lex is still very interested in her subforum
pd Rydia (5:29:58 PM): ::bounce!::
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:30:54 PM): I think BW would be a good mod to give another subforum to. Perhaps the Unspoken (he posts regularly there)
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:31:35 PM): ::nods::
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:39:17 PM): Other thoughts I had were KoD as Fanfiction mod, BW/Priam as Discussion Forum mod, and for you to continue to help Lex with the Fanart forum
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:41:41 PM): BW is still interested as well
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:41:52 PM): in what?
Justice Augustus (5:45:59 PM): Also...it might seem silly at first...but Choark's love of art could make him a great mod of the Fanart forum
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:46:39 PM): how is that silly?
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:47:01 PM): Dunno...giving Choark power might be like giving a monkey keys to the banana store
Justice Augustus (5:47:05 PM): :P
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:47:11 PM): he'd probably be awesome. Especially if he gets increasingly more reliable about getting online
pd Rydia (5:47:16 PM): ::chuckles::
pd Rydia (5:50:44 PM): Shini is still interested
</font><font color=green>Justice Augustus (5:50:47 PM):
http://choark.livejournal.com/264603.html
Justice Augustus (5:50:51 PM): check that</font>
<font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:30:27 PM): HAY
</font><font color=navy>BrainWalkr (5:30:32 PM): YAH
</font><font color=black>pd Rydia (5:31:09 PM):
pd Rydia (5:22:15 PM): so I's gots the question!
LovelyJester (5:22:39 PM): Knock yourself out.
pd Rydia (5:27:12 PM): Have you seen the Forum Update thread in the Discussion forum, by Priam? It's basically about updating the admoderativeings of RPGWW.
pd Rydia (5:27:13 PM): Gus has IMed me about this, and figured that it would do well to take a tally on current mods' interest in their subfora. (i.e. Mike isn't really interested in maintaining the level of activity needed in the Discussion forum anymore; etc.).
pd Rydia (5:27:47 PM): ::pulls out clipboard and nerd glasses:: So this is my survey to you about your thoughts on the Fanart forum and You.
LovelyJester (5:28:41 PM): I still want it!
LovelyJester (5:28:49 PM): And indeed, I will be doing things with it.
pd Rydia (5:29:00 PM): Awesome!
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:31:27 PM): ::changes, applies question to you::
</font><font color=navy>BrainWalkr (5:38:03 PM): Ahh. Well, 1) Although I manage to be fairly well-known, I am actually not all that active in RPGWW, sometimes disappearing for a week or more for no better reason than it just didn't occur to me to check. 2) Still, Kotoki's is the place I visit most by far, so if I were to be the mod of any forum, that is really the only option.
3) RPGWW generally doesn't actually need much moddery, which I suspect is the way we like it. I don't have to excercise my authority too often, and half the time whenever there is a situation that warrants it, someone else beats me to it. Still, every now and then I do a little pruning here and there, and I do enjoy having the opportunity to bust out the "red pen" for grammatical correction.
So, in summation, it's nice to be able to do something about a problem instead of just complianing about it, and it's nice to know that the community respects me enough to allow me a tiny bit of authority, but at the same time I'm not really sure that it is really necessary for me to be a mod. Nor can I say that my feelings would be hurt if that were to stop being the case.
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:40:38 PM): In short, yes, in your usual modesty :P
pd Rydia (5:40:53 PM): I do, for the record, appreciate your edits
pd Rydia (5:41:23 PM): as you might be able to tell from the number of screencaps in power use and abuse in yalogank
</font><font color=navy>BrainWalkr (5:41:52 PM): Heheh
BrainWalkr (5:41:55 PM): Indeed : )</font>
<font color=purple>TheWaiChibiAngel (5:43:52 PM): *okay anyway.*
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:44:33 PM): HI
</font><font color=purple>TheWaiChibiAngel (5:44:40 PM): *HELLO*
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:44:41 PM): I have questions for you!
</font><font color=purple>TheWaiChibiAngel (5:44:45 PM): *DO YOU?*
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:44:47 PM): YES
pd Rydia (5:45:05 PM): firstly, I no longer need to ask you your City of H/V server for I am LEET UBER STALKER
</font><font color=purple>TheWaiChibiAngel (5:45:19 PM): *OH NOES*
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:45:22 PM): secondly, WHEN ARE YOU VISITING?
</font><font color=purple>TheWaiChibiAngel (5:45:30 PM): *THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA ASK YOU, HONKEY.*
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:45:34 PM): thirdly, when were you made a mod? I forget that totally
pd Rydia (5:45:37 PM): OH OKAY, COOL
pd Rydia (5:45:47 PM): fourthly, are you still interested in being mod!
</font><font color=purple>TheWaiChibiAngel (5:46:49 PM): *I was made a mod during Sugoicon, and I am still interested in doing such, as I actually find there are things to do with said modship, doubly so because of my RP being so freakin' long.*
</font><font color=teal>pd Rydia (5:47:30 PM): okay, cool
pd Rydia (5:47:36 PM): NOW
pd Rydia (5:47:39 PM): LET US PLOT</font> <p>
