Author Topic: Will the forums ever appoint new Admins?  (Read 8203 times)


we need an alt sniffer admin
Seventh, you're up!

Admins can see IPs anyways.

Just so you know, moderators can ban. I saw a ban by Rotondo once

If only three or so moderators can control this large of a community, I doubt we'd actually need more moderators unless we start averaging forty active users every 48 hours

I think Rotondo used to be an Admin.

Just because it said Rotondo was the last one to edit the post, doesn't exactly mean he banned him.

It could have gone down like this:
User posts infringing content.
Badspot bans him.
Rotondo noticed that some of the content should have been removed, and then did it.

Probably not. Although if we did have some DECENT admins, bad topics would go away much faster.

They already go away pretty fast. Also not every topic reported is necessarily bad.

I think Badspot only gives admin/moderator to people he knows and works with.

It has nothing to do with your reputation or how long you've been around, take Bisjac for example.

You have to build up trust slowly with badspot, at very least you have to give him your first born.

Well if kompressor is not a admin what dos that tell u

EDIT:
Here is Badspot's

Kompressor is all and nothing. Everyman and no man.

you know, i've heard ephialtes is dreadfully allergic to paprika...

Next time I cook him dinner I'll keep this in mind.

Lol, if moderators could ban, Kalphiter would have been banned a long time ago.

Though he's done some odd things in the past, it never seemed that bad.

All I want is a moderator that actually talks to the forums frequently (is trusted by Badspot, obviously), and doesn't hide from everyone. It feels to me like they're all quiet just to seem mysterious, which annoys me.

Yes we're all quiet just to seem mysterious, is it working? Are we cool yet?

It's hard to actually answer this question, people are always busy moderating or doing actual human things. Would you really want moderators to be forced to post on the forum?

I still think electing a group of players to moderate individual segments of the forum is the best idea. It works everywhere else, it can work here.

Though finding people who aren't lousy people to begin with is near impossible haha.

In the event that blockland outgrows the current moderation, this would probably work. We would probably have to be a lot more strict with things though.

I think they only thing I don't like is lack of progress updates from them. I mean the v21 thread was nice but I'm wondering how things are going and what they are doing.

Things are going good, to prove it here's a new shiny screenshot...

tobi jr you're goiing to go live with uncle eric for awhile

badspot said i can be super admin when everyone dies

true story

wowe, awesome screenshot.

haha thanks Rotondo for clearing things up.


Are we cool yet?
Apparently, yes.

Would you really want moderators to be forced to post on the forum?
Not forced, but it seems a little funny that once you become a moderator you have to disappear off the face of the universe planet forum until moments like this.

I mean, WE manage to waste away here easily, posting 20-40 times a day; but you guys seem to have gotten a life some how and only post 20-40 times a year.

Where is the shadows?

Implying they finished shadows working perfectly on complex textures.
Implying that map has an angled sun.
Implying that screenshot even was taken with shadows on.
