Here we have a mod recruitment thread.
This thread is full of spam by moderators.
This thread is locked even tho recruitment is open untill the 8th of this month.
This thread has 1371 views and 44 replies.
This topic is in ANNOUNCEMENTS not general , not the temple or anywhere where chatter and spam should live.
Not only are the mods not modding themselves but the conversation is off topic, convoluted and polluted. How would any new forum-er find any info or comfort in interacting in this environment.
A locked thread ... not very welcoming and not being bumped for exposure to potential applicants.
The amount of views imply interest . The lack of replies shows that someone initially interested was deterred rather than inticed to participate.
Weren't you once a mod? Surely you must know how things work. The Announcement section is a locked forum. If someone creates a thread in General for example and it gets promoted to an announcement then it will appear locked when viewing through announcements forum but it is unlocked in every other section. Thought any Mod would know that.
Also you say it is full of spam by moderators.... what about the 7 non moderators that have been posting in there?
Come on people give some logical thought before whining.
Werent you a mod once ? what happened there C-boy
lol Hostilities already , so much for keeping it impersonal. This isnt about me or you get over yourself and stop being so condescending.
I didnt ask the question PSI did. I honestly wonder why on earth start this debate again and to what end !
Rule of thumb ... Dont ask the question unless your ready for the answer.
and I still dont think this conversation is ready to be heard by the mod/admin team so it will be picked apart into little compartments and facts and irrelevant points will be argued by the same old people to no avail. creating even a deeper rift between user and Admin/Mod team.
Thank you for your answer deni , but I didnt ask a question. I merely made an observation of a perspective.
