Global moderators are nice but you still can't expect one to be able to do all the moderating. Like the idea of a day and night moderator or a moderator from USA or Canada, one from Australia, and one from Europe would have the same effect.

It's not that they're lazy, they just don't seem up to par with the average moderators. I understand the admin like Umaro because keeping the site up to date is a job in itself but (if I'm not mistaken) the moderator's only job is to moderate.

It's great that you can ignore those things, but what about the people who can't?

Yup. But Silver's posting is one of the lesser problems. I think another moderator, like AcidReign, should be hired to get rid of the constant flaming, spamming, and the occasional porn and pirated material posts.

Uhh...

I realize he's some sort of forum god (guess every forum has one or two of these fellas though I must admit "Silversurfnstudism" is unique ;)) and he seems like a good guy but I can't stand seeing a site's staff posting immaturely and/or unprofessionally. Just gives the site a bad look. Staffers are always in the spotlight. Other forumers should be able to look up to and follow in the ways of the moderators and administrators.

Just my two cents.

Mine is probably a bit big but there's people like this and people with huge diablo 3 posters or multiple images that really ruin the threads. Search around some of the posts, there's quite a few and they're distracting and ruin the thread content.

Fourth, there's little to no moderating on this forum anyway, so we could use another moderator.

Although I don't think Mutton should be a mod, I do agree with this point. I'm not saying Umaro and whoever else aren't doing their jobs... but there's flaming and spamming all over the place. Not to mention the occasional porn link and several of the signatures here should be edited or limited as they take up half the screen. Then our moderator, Silver, isn't giving the site the best impression when his own spelling and grammar is rather horrible. Demote some mods if they're never moderating and hire some more active and contributing members of the community. Someone like AcidReign would be a great moderator.

Although I'm new here and don't know your history, I agree with Equinox. The way you handled things in the News forum with Aibo and all of them was disgraceful - definitely not a quality of a good moderator. An example would be this post.

I know he was flaming you but you still have to be able to control things better without flaming back.
