senior mods

[ridley]

i reckon we should be able to get the rank senior mod by being an active mods for a long time or by being the mod of 3 or more forums
they will outrank normal mods they will have the ability to overule mod descisions and ban people from their forums
the name senior mod will be shown under our post ranks

myself,mjshl2,kameo,chaosmaster and blue have been active mods almost from the beginning so we should be ranked as senior mods

also to become a senior mod you will need to be a mod and apply and will need 3 or more approvals from one of us 5 to become 1

what do ya say?

Well what's the difference of being a mod and a Senior mod? Is it just the title?

[chaos master]

I have seen the rank Super Moderator used in some forums. They are under admins and over mods. Hmmmmmmmmmmm....IDK what to say just yet. Let's see what other people have to say.

[Iconoclast]

Well, I do as much of my job as a moderator as I can. You guys do whatever you want.

[Kurt]

This sounds exceedingly stupid. What would it accomplish? Name two things.

[Iconoclast]

This sounds exceedingly stupid. What would it accomplish? Name two things.Two things:

The excession of somehow finding something it would accomplish.
Nothing, really.You guys do what you want.

[Kurt]

So baisically, it will accomplish making whoever thought of it look like a dummy for suggesting it. I see my point now. :rolleyes:

[pizzaman]

Well if you guys are going to make Senior mods, then you have to make me admin. I mean just to even out the balance. :nono:

[chaos master]

Hey, now everyone is ridiculing ridley....Iconoclast said two reasons, though, so the measure passes! *is attacked by angry users*

[chaos master]

So baisically, it will accomplish making whoever thought of it look like a dummy for suggesting it. I see my point now. :rolleyes:
Dost thou remember my announcement on respect?

pizzaman: Why Iconoclast doesn't bag on you for being immature, I'll never know.

Okay, okay. We shall see what will happen. Me? No comment.

[Kurt]

I'm sorry for ridiculing him, but this just goes over the top with stupidity. The stupidity cup is literally overflowing with stupid juice. The stupidity clouds just made a stupidity flood. The stupidity ocean just produced a giant Stupidity Tidal Wave Of Death. I'm stupid for making stupid metaphors. Stupidly.

By the way, Ridley: Stupidity called. He wants his idea back.

EDIT: :rolleyes:

[pizzaman]

Dost thou remember my announcement on respect?

pizzaman: Why Iconoclast doesn't bag on you for being immature, I'll never know.

Because he knows that I am joking. Sometimes immaturity is the best kind of humor.

[Iconoclast]

Okay, okay. We shall see what will happen. Me? No comment.Well, pizzaman is...different. He's a nice guy, too, you know.

"If you want respect so bad, make your own."

[Kurt]

No one's been disrespectful yet, and I hope it stays that way, too. I'm being moderately cruel to Ridley, but he can take it. He's a big boy and he can defend himself. Besides, I have nothing against the guy. He just had a bad idea and it's not really retributable against him as a person.

[chaos master]

Well, pizzaman is...different. He's a nice guy, too, you know.

"If you want respect so bad, make your own."
Indeed. I'm a nice guy, too if you didn't know. And I am only joking just like pizzaman. Oh wizzle.

Bak 2 tha subject @ hand.

[Kurt]

I just remembered another reason I don't like this idea:

We already have a bunch of active mods, and we have admin. We don't need anything else, really, unless one of them leaves.

[pizzaman]

Maybe we should all mutiny!






Only kidding, Admin.

[pizzaman]

Well, pizzaman is...different. He's a nice guy, too, you know.

"If you want respect so bad, make your own."
Cm has my respect. He is so hilarious though. Half the things I say he flips out about. He's learning though.

The only person who was disrespected was CM, when Fire Bird was dissing him. Remember CM?

Yeah that's true. I don't even know why I became a mod actually. I don't ever moderate, because my forum is so well kept. :D
Maybe there should be more then one mod of the General Chat forum?

[Kurt]

I *would* offer to be a mod of a forum {Arcade Emulation or something} but there's a problem: I've never, EVER been a mod of any kind in any way other than a server on Counter-Strike Source, and that doesn't really count. Plus, the mods here aren't doing a bad job, so they don't need my help (by help I mean hindrance. Like I said, I don't know the mod features).


EDIT: Tasisity and Firebird disrespected me pretty badly, too.

Yes, I remember how you joined him.
There are already two mods of General Chat.

But, off topic...so if there isn't anything left to say on topic, then let us depart.

I didn't see what either one of them said unfortunately. Where are the threads?

[pizzaman]

1. There is only one active mod of General Chat.
2. Fire Bird Joined me.
3. I kept it at a safe level.
4. I have to go work soon.

[Kurt]

The threads are hidden or deleted. The ones of firebird flaming me and calling me "gay" and such are waaay back there in the General Chat forum, unless cm deleted them. And cm certainly deleted most of Tasisity's offending posts, seeing as they were not much more than the words "F*CK YOU" in really big letters.

What did you do to earn such bad respect?

[Kurt]

Not really fit for this thread... I'll PM them to you.

5. pizzaman's off topic

[Iconoclast]

6. you're off topic
7. I'm off topic
8. We're all off topic
9. Live with it...heh.

[pizzaman]

This thread has been sort of a train crash. I'm hereby naming this thread SNR #2!

[Kurt]

Please never say that (SNR #2) again.

People, we need to leave this thread unless we have something interesting or valuable to contribute.

:)

EDIT: Iconoclast, what did I just say boy?

[Iconoclast]

This thread has been sort of a train crash. I'm hereby naming this thread SNR #2!You know, pizzaman, you can hack CoolROM.com and become an admin if you press Alt+Space+C in that order REALLY fast.

[pizzaman]

Oh good one. I never knew what that did. Of course I used a black window! I'm smarter then I act you know.

[pizzaman]

Oh okay, I'll get back on topic. Ridley, this is actually a good idea, but not for this forum. This forum is still too small. If we get a bigger forum, then that idea might work, but for now it isn't really useful. At least that is my opinion.

[Kurt]

Pizzaman, I think I just saw the light. Ridley's idea is great, if you replace ordinary mods like himself with donaters. Get it? Donaters could have a specialized mod status like Super Mod or Respected CoolRom Member or some such jazz. Then again, we don't really have a donation option, do we?

Well IDK. Mayeb we should make it that if you donate, you can do extra stuff, but not too much. I mean if we make donators mods, then they might make a mess.

I have a question though, if a mod donates, does he become admin? :devil:

[Kurt]

I was actually thinking of people that were already mods that donated, not your Average Joe like myself. The mods that donated would become Super Mods (pretty much the same thing, but not too much power over an ordinary mod) and the members that donated would become Respected Members or something.

And, uh, no.

Well IDK. I know some forums that do have donators, but IDK if they get extra treatment. It's a possibility though.

[Kurt]

Not EXTRA EXTRA treatment, just extreme amounts of recognition. Besides, my idea is currently unapplicable because there's no donation button... at least to my knowledge. :)

EDIT: BTW, guys, remember to vote for Coolrom in the top-righthand side of the main page.

[pizzaman]

Not EXTRA EXTRA treatment, just extreme amounts of recognition. Besides, my idea is currently unapplicable because there's no donation button... at least to my knowledge. :)
Who would get the money though? Admin? I mean IDK what he would use it for.

[Kurt]

Who would get the money though? Admin? I mean IDK what he would use it for.
Why, maintianing this site of course! Websites aren't free. He could also make more contests and the like! It's a win-win situation!

[pizzaman]

Well yeah, but what else is there to put on this website?

[Kurt]

I don't know... more bandwidth, a different host, whatever we need. I'm not sure if we actually need anything, but if we ever do, my idea is free for the taking. We seem to be doing fine though, and you'll notice that I didn't actually request for a "donations" button.

Maybe you should PM admin.

[Fierce Deity]

Kurt, you should become a mod. You are active a lot. More than ridley anyway. Besides, it isn't too hard. You just use your judgement. I will show you the ropes if admin okays it. and if you decide you want to.

[Kurt]

If he ever mentions something we are lacking and/or desperately need, I'll be sure to do just that. Till then, though, I think we're doing fine.

:)


EDIT: That'd be awesome, FD, because I really have NO CLUE what commands/powers the mod has other than banning, locking and editing posts. I'll send you a PM in a minute.

Kurt. If you want to be a mod, go ahead. Don't, however, do it if you aren't going to be good at it. I mean I'm a mod and I bearly do anything. It's actually good for me, since I'm not on as much, but all depends on what forum you have to moderate.

[Kurt]

Don't get me wrong: I know what modding is and I'm intimately familiar with what and what not to do here. I just don't know how to do it in the sense that I don't know where the buttons are and stuff like that. If someone told me how, I'd probably apply for moderatorship for one of the less-moderated (or in some cases not moderated at all) forums.

Well actually I don't know some of the buttons myself, if you know what I mean. I don't really have to use them though, because I'm mod of a pretty small forum.

[Fierce Deity]

Did that PM help at all, Kurt?

[Kurt]

Very much, thanks dude. I copied and pasted it onto a Notepad document on my desktop for future references, too. :)

[Fierce Deity]

lol, nice.

I am moderator of the largest forum, General Chat, and I have to moderate fairly often.

[Fierce Deity]

I end up not having to moderate too much. There isn't much action in general
gaming.

[Iconoclast]

I am moderator of the largest forum, General Chat, and I have to moderate fairly often.Large with spam threads in it. You define it as large because it has so many threads in it, most of which could be moved. It's easy to start a General Chat thread, but not as easy to fill the other forums with on-topic threads. That's why it's so large.

[Iconoclast]

I moderate when someone breaks a rule, which doesn't happen often, and that's it. Sometimes, I like to browse the PC Gaming/Emulation forum when I have nothing to do and look for threads to move to the right forum, delete stupid threads and posts, merge simulataneous posts, and stuff when I'm on break.

[ridley]

I just remembered another reason I don't like this idea:

We already have a bunch of active mods, and we have admin. We don't need anything else, really, unless one of them leaves.

kumajeff,remorse,doublearon and k00 are all inactive

[Fierce Deity]

k00 was just here today.

[Iconoclast]

k00 was just here today.Yeah, he's here like once a month or two. Rare.

Who's doublearon? Ah, nvm. Inactive, anyway.

[chaos master]

Large with spam threads in it. You define it as large because it has so many threads in it, most of which could be moved. It's easy to start a General Chat thread, but not as easy to fill the other forums with on-topic threads. That's why it's so large.
Yes, hence it is the chat forum. I define it as large because it had the most posts. ROM Request has the most threads. I go best with General Chat, I suppose. Just call me Mr. User Relations! No, actually don't call me that if you know what's good for you.

Is this topic lost?

[chaos master]

Yeah, he's here like once a month or two. Rare.

Who's doublearon? Ah, nvm. Inactive, anyway.
I'll tell you anyway. He's mod of PC Support.

[Iconoclast]

I'll tell you anyway. He's mod of PC Support.Oh, you mean Double///A\\\Ron. Doublearon made no sense to me, now I see what you mean. Yeah, I remember him. He's gone, now. PC helper.

[Kurt]

Yeah, there are a bunch of inactive mods, but most seem to be doing a good job.

[Fierce Deity]

I try to do a good job. Yet ridley found it necessary to ban from my own forum b/c he could.

[Kurt]

Yet ridley found it necessary to ban from my own forum b/c he could.

Ban what? I don't get it.

[Fierce Deity]

H etold me I wasn't allowed to post in that forum anymore. Like it was his decision to make, lol.

[Kurt]

I don't really understand. Which forum were you banned from and why? :confused:

[Fierce Deity]

I am moderator of the General Gaming forum. Ridley got mad at me one day, and told me I was banned from the General Gaming forum, because he is a mod too. I just laughed at him, but it sorta shows badly against him. Kameo said whoever he banned Kameo would un-ban. This all happened while I was gone though, so I don't know if it would actually not let me in the forum.

If anybody knows how to ban users form the site, please tell me.

[Kurt]

Very strange, alright... Were the threads/posts deleted or are they still in there?

[Fierce Deity]

He may have edited them, but if tehy are there, they'd be in the archives or maybe as a sticky in general gaming forum.

[Kurt]

If they're the sticky, it looks to me like most were deleted/edited.

[Fierce Deity]

I'll check.

[Fierce Deity]

No I can't find it, and I don't know how to search the archives.

[Kurt]

I just sifted through all of Ridley's posts in the General Gaming section, and I couldn't find anything remotely like it.

[Fierce Deity]

Becaus ethat method of searching disregards the archives. I don't even know how to get into the archives, let alone search them.

[Iconoclast]

Becaus ethat method of searching disregards the archives. I don't even know how to get into the archives, let alone search them.I don't like the archives. I saw some Guest searching them. I THINK the URL was this:

http://www.coolrom.com/forums/archive/index.php

I could be wrong. Editing...nope, I'm right.

[Kurt]

Oh, those archives. :rolleyes: That word didn't click with me at first for some reason so I disregarded it.

[Fierce Deity]

I can't find it anyways.

[Kurt]

Yeah, same here.

[Iconoclast]

I think ridley's conflict with you was in his rules forum. Kameo may have deleted it; I don't see it anymore. It was a sticky.

[Fierce Deity]

Yes that's exactly what it was. But, even if Kameo deleted it, I'd still be able to see it, as I am moderator of that forum too. But I can't fin dit.

[pizzaman]

I suppose this does have something to do with Ridley, but it doesn't have anything to do with the topic! Could you guys get on topic? Did anyone come to a conclusion anyway? I read the entire thing, but really fast, so I might have missed something.

[Fierce Deity]

I think we came to the conclusion, no post medals, but medals for being helpful and such. And maybe medals for being longtime members. I think we are waiting for admin's input. As he hasn't commented on it, I'm assuming that means no.

[pizzaman]

Lol, wrong thread. This is the Senior mods thread, not the reputation medals thread. Thanks for the info though.

[Fierce Deity]

Oh well. same basic thing here. Awaiting admin's approval. It all sounds silly to me. Super mods.....

[pizzaman]

Oh well. same basic thing here. Awaiting admin's approval. It all sounds silly to me. Super mods.....
Well we'll see. I don't actually care, but it doesn't really sound like a great idea at the moment. I mean it's not going to change anything.

[Fierce Deity]

Well, there isn't much more that we could do as mods. Aside form being mods of additional forums. The only way I can think of for them to make super mods would be to decrease the privileges of normal mods, or to add banning users to super mods' abilities.

[Iconoclast]

I heard admin's approval last night. I'd record it as a WAV file, but let's just say it would be a waste of disk space.;)

No, I don't really mean that, but I don't think he'll even talk about this idea.

Yeah, but if you give a mod the ability to ban other people, then the mod can ban Admin. This happened once on another forum. What a smart guy. :mad2:

That's what he seems to do when he disagrees. It's a silly idea anyways.

[ridley]

christ let the thread die

[pizzaman]

christ let the thread die
I am sorry for your loss Ridley.... :(

[Kameo]

Maybe that's why Ridley left :p ....
