Admin affairs (general forum management) need be known by admins, and admins alone.
GM affairs (section / team management) need be known by GMs and admins alone.
Mod affairs (specific rule applications) need be known by mods, GMs and admins, again, alone.
Public affairs need to be known by everyone.

I do not see the benefit in publicising information pertaining to a case long closed, or indeed any information that is not relevant to the public - a criterion the public is not qualified to judge on. Forum staff is a representative of AdminJ, so the final call is - as it always has been (despite various attempts at mutiny) and as it always should be - up to the conveniently named Forum.

Alliances stack the votes and we don't need the forum as well as the game unbalanced in that way.
Hardly a good reason not to do it. The scale of the change however might be something to consider as something of a 'con'.



Admin's executive power is sovereign. Any challenge to that will be handled with prejudice. You can of course make suggestions and small changes may be implemented. (Of course we all make mistakes, so does Forum, but if he wanted to name this forum "Granny's PancakePalooza" that would be his call. A pretty bad one, though.. lol, but you get the idea. This is my own 'Forum's Fallibility disclaimer'.) He is the one you need to convince.

I do not think people would be that petty. More specifically, there would always - hopefully - be more people pleased with the way the section is kept than there are people pissed off because they are banned. (Which results in the section being 'clean'. Or something.)
I disapprove of the 'ban' and 'rules' being used as swords against the community. That is like building anti-personnel defences and aiming them inward. :)

And this is why voting for mods is a terrible idea.

Re: Admins, Mods and other stuff.

The point being the alliances would vote for their own, regardless of their mod performance.


and dont you come from one of the most populated empires in the game (even if your not active ingame so much)

well the community is either gonna die or be taken over by ponies your choice :P


I don't want my alliance voting for me just because I'm HVE. I'd rather my mod performance be the deciding factor...

that would never work as we all know to well, good mods in busy sections dont make friends


That's true, HVE vote for me :D :P
I don't think there is much chance of that there pal.

How was that "owned"? I merely informed him of each threads purpose. Nothing worthy of "ownage" there :P

Re: Admins, Mods and other stuff.

I think haz does a wonderful job but he is a little to much of a stickler :razz:


that being said mods shouldn't get voted out they are volunteers, that being said mods are volunteers and will not be mods forever so voting in new mods should eliminate the need to vote old mods out ;)

If a mod is doing such a bad job that the majority of the community wants said mod out, a thread would most likely be made, where action could be taken. Apart from that I don't see any reason for a vote.

Or 3 members could just get deleted and more banned

that's a possibility too I guess

Yes yes, we haven't forgotten...

This thread is about the current mod team. We've already got plenty of threads about the bans and deleted users and everything involved with that, please don't make this thread yet another one...
