rbj69 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 i was thinking and thought this would be a good thread to hear the opinions of the members here and now we just had a anniversary roll around so i felt why not? lol what r your opinions on appointing new moderators ? not saying the ones we have havent done a good job but wouldnt it be good for the board to have a voting process for new mods like every 6 months and or yearly , just to have some fresh faces and new ideas; to me i think it will make a better board and give other deserving members that love the board a chance to have fun and keep this a open board and not a onesided one (i feel if u keep the same mod team that eventually the board will get onesided like the old rwg did at the end) this is not a post for anyone to get offended on, just a simple thought of having a periodic change for moderating to make the board a even kill joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Sorry Joe I think it would be a case of waiting until the is reason to swap guy's out, not when the ship is sailing smoothly that's just asking for trouble. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingape Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Would this imply replacing mods with new ones? I think fresh faces would make things more unstable, as after a while I feel like I know a little about the mods by watching their M.O. I can't really see the benefits of a voting process, and the worst case scenario is an election campaign that sidetracks the forum and possibly divides the members into camps.. ..Yeah, I've seen this happen in a computer forum.. And it was not pretty. And those guys had a lot less "under their belt" than some of the members of RWG. Here we all have a say, suggestions seem like they are considered seriously by the management, this suggestion included, and you don't really have many complaints here. (If you feel hounded by them, they usually have a reason.. it COULD be you, and not all the others..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Definitely not. The admin team is great and the atmosphere in RWG is liberal and good. Why would we need someone new to ruin it? Best moderator is an invisible moderator. Net is full of pimple faced little Trekkie bastards who think they grow 10 inches when they get a moderator position... and can start flexing their "Internet muscles". The current group is fine... if it ain't broken don't fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to do exactly what you suggested I had a revolution on my hands. What they were saying is that 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it, Tim.' Fair enough and I forever backed off sharing the reigns. I was trying to give everyone a chance at adding their own influence, thinking that it might make it better and stronger. I WAS WRONG. People like things the way they are - PERIOD.

TTK, have we met before in person? You talk as if you know me personally. I have never met you sir or even had a conversation with you. but you claim you are an expert on my life. you have no idea what you are talking about. You don't know my past or experience with forums. Or what I do for a living. You say I am a kid? Sorry but I am in my late 30's. I think sir you have shown your true colors here and i will not stoop to your level. But please refrain from talking about me because you dont know me. I never talk about you so what is your problem?

dawg Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 BTW, TTK. You can search every post I have ever made and you will not find one post where I say I am an expert on watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well TTK, You are certainly entitled to that opinion. But you have no idea what goes on behind the scenes or how many years experience i have with forums. You may have an opinion that i suck at it but maybe others may not. I am simply asking you as a fellow human being to lay off of me. Is that to much to ask?

dawg Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I was going to PM you this message but your inbox is full. So I will just post it here: TTK, I know you and I got off to a bad start at first. If I did anything to offend you in the past I do appologize for that. I told Tim earlier that I am willing to get along with any dealer at the forum for the better of the community. Why not you and I start right now and burry the hatchet? Is that ok with you?

Willith Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Wow, I thought TTK was talking about me at first, good to see he has his sites on someone else. I think turning over the moderating team often would be a huge pain in the butt for both the new mods and the admin. Some of the tools we have are a little confusing to use and the stoopid operating manual for this place is nonexistent. I can't even figure out some of the tools I have at my fingertips, so I just stick with the ones I know how to use. If you kept turning over the moderating team often it would take T months to get everyone up to speed on the tools and I think he's busy enough. Also, over the past year we have had several moderators leave and new ones appointed, so we do have some fresh faces on the team here. I think we are pretty receptive to the forums wishes and we try to keep things fresh and new here (especially Ken). I guess I don't see any real benefit to rotating the moderating team every year, even the president gets 4 years to mess things up before he has to be reelected.

TwoTone Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 what r your opinions on appointing new moderators ? not saying the ones we have havent done a good job but wouldnt it be good for the board to have a voting process for new mods like every 6 months and or yearly , just to have some fresh faces and new ideas; @Joseph Step away from the computer...
