In this thread you have the only place in the forums where moderation can be discussed freely and in public. Here you can post your questions regarding the rules, suggest any improvements or share your ideas toward making this forum a friendly and safe community for all ArmA fans or ask questions.
This thread however is not a place to flame moderation staff or spam, all posts must abide by forum rules and must discuss valid issues or raise a valid idea or point. Last update to rules: 19th November 2010 -------------------- |

Lo folks,
Note: To avoid misconceptions of emotions or feelings - This post is written as a discussion. I'm miffed but attempting to solve the problem. QUOTE In this thread you have the only place in the forums where moderation can be discussed freely and in public.

Wittmann - First thread post - Nov 5 2006, 12:27 "share your ideas toward making this forum a friendly" The single reason i bother to come here and post is because this board is friendly, relaxed and quiet. After Nemisis and Homer walked we were without a moderator. There were no problems what so ever. The occasional time someone posted in the wrong thread or spammed the regulars pointed out the mistake and we moved on. If there were wrong doings that required action Wittmann stepped in. For example the THC affair when i requested the thread be locked. "must discuss valid issues or raise a valid idea or point." Now, JdB you are a good guy. Your intelligent and calculated but i have to disagree with your method of moderating. This forum ran smoothly without flame or incident until you became a moderator. Surely this shows that this board does not need a moderator big brothering each and every post. The members of this board are mature enough to know where to draw the line on what is acceptable and what is not. What this board needs is a moderator who protects the forum from outside idiots, people who join only to cause trouble. The role of a moderator is to oversee the smooth running of the forum, something we seem to have lost touch with. "must discuss valid issues or raise a valid idea or point." We all must take a step back and start being sensible! We have already lost HH, a regular member. We are fast becoming the BIForums and if we continue down this path the board will ultimately loose more members, myself included! Thank you for reading, Luke -------------------- |

Nice to see someone taking the time to type out a well-thought through post, I don't agree with all points, but it's nice none the less. The main problem is that alot of you are friends. Whenever I take action against one of you the, rest jumps on the bandwagon to drag their friend out of the "firing line". As I posted in the Moderator section of the forum, "I've seen this all before, more times than I care to remember, it's all good until they become the "victims" of the forum rules themselves, then they start to complain." These forums cannot be like the BIS forums, as our rules are far more relaxed. The BIS forum staff enforces their set of rules, we enforce ours. It's simple maths 1+1=2, hard+enforcing vs relaxed+enforcing. Wittmann and Homer agreed on me being the new moderator because they had realised that the time moderators had to spend on the forum had come under the acceptable level, by which enforcement of the rules suffered. They solved this by appointing someone which they knew would bring the moderator enforcing of the rules back to it's early level (when the forum just started). I used the "nutty policeman with light on the head" emoticon to bring some ... relaxedness to moderating, something to ease the message. If I really do "crack down" on something I certainly wouldn't be using such a smiley. Like I use this one to ease someones' feelings over having their (quite possibly first ever) thread closed: -------------------- |
