Author Topic: Would you be capable of administrating the forums?  (Read 7805 times)

For some reason lately everytime I view the forums a question pops into my head. It doesn't really have any significant meaning, just out of curiosity.

Say Badspot decided he needed another person to help keep the forums under control. So for whatever reason he asks you if you would like to become an administrator. Would you have what it takes to put up with everyone's complaints and personal messages? Could you make unbiased decisions to ban other users despite what you may think of them?

Personally, I don't think I would be capable of administrating. I usually am at either college or work and whenever I'm not there I'm hanging out with people. I would barely ever be home enough to actually keep  order on the forums. Aside from that, I don't think I would be able to deal with the constant messages of reports from users and all the questions on a daily basis. It would drive me insane.

Think you would have what it takes?

I'm on quite a bit, but I admit that if I were given the power, I'd probably make some bans more personal than others.

EDIT: I remember and know a lot though, I lurked up until a few months ago.

Well in all honesty, I'd be okay, I don't think anyone else thinks that though, do they? I'd have to remove my rights of biased opinions and abide the rules, although the rules themselves could use a touch up.

I would probably end up trying too hard and fail ;-;

ooh
hard
probably have to say no though

On that subject, what kinds of changes would you make to the rules? If I could change things I'd remove the "Don't say 'I dont Care' rule.

a topic by destroyer not about his car!?

on topic, the power would go to my head.

No... i'd end up banning up everybody for being a toolshed...

For one I hate how sometimes some rules are enacted and some aren't, and that's redonkulous, like for example how Ephi said to Bones4 how the TL;DR post would only matter in Drama, but was banned for it nonetheless (nice going by the way ephi :U). Also, rules would be global to all boards. It makes more sense. I would have to think about the "remove the I don't care rule" because that can go under a waste of a post, but can also go for they don't care for a certain thing but not the entire topic.

I would complely get rid of the Drama section... Perma ban Lord to- Iba-... Acttaully Badspot is doing a pretty good job

I'd add a "Debates" section to off-topic, which would function purely for people to fight in without bothering everyone else.
