I was curious is acidmods over staffed or under staffed?
Discuss
-
if anything i don't thing there are enough mods spread out over the time zones, seems every one is on at the same time or off at the same time. but a lot of that has to do with work and stuff like that.
but yeah i think were fine.
would love to know your opinion seeing as how you threw up the topic for discussion
-
haha i love the challenging tone o_O
well i think in some areas we are over staffed and some under staffed,
I think we could do with some more global mods especially in different time zones as you said tec, I think the admins have better things to do than the globals jobs hence we need more yes?
I also think we should have more locals in hope of the whole forum getting a "spring cleaning" I liek to organise things =P
However in contrast of that I dont think we have enough members who are dedicated enough to make an impact.
Thats jsut what i think anyways :victory:
-
i think acidmods is ok with mods/admins its just some are never online :beg:
-
Well we have that many admins they dont all need to be online TBh, but i wouldnt have it any other way ^^
but we have like 3 global mods that ive seen properly scouring through the whole forum, not dissing them or anything but its a lot for jsut 3 guys.
The admins contribute alot to what i thought was the globals job, surely admins shouldnt have to do all that?
They must have mroe important things to do?
No? Maybe its jsut me I jsut dont know :dntknw:
-
idk its easy to arm chair quarterback all there decisions, but god knows i wouldn't want to make them. sure i would love to have the power to delete threads, posts, and code links. but i don't want to deal with all the things they have to deal with. and with time zones personal lives i understand why they are on when they are on.
so over all i dont have any issues with the set up
-
Well my argument still stands, not enough global mods =]
-
what was the purpose of the global mods? are they the ones who speak different languages to help out our non English speaking members?
that would suck to want to mod your stuff, but not be able to under stand any of what was written
-
globle mod yes
tec_in_the_making you've got alot of posts im shaw youll be a mod soon
-
i dont want the responsibility. i appreciate them, but i dont want to deal with what they have to.
-
most of us here speak english as a first or second language with slight difficulty but the bascs are understood.
Then we have the more fluent 2nd language english speakers who could help peopel from theyre country whatever t may be.
THEN we have our multi lingual members such as myself who can understand msot european languages....
Apart from that global mods are theyre to keep the forum clean and safe for its users, i'm merely stating i dont think we have enough =]
i dont want the responsibility. i appreciate them, but i dont want to deal with what they have to.
Plus you're far too busy with youre kickass R&D position =P not everyoen can be that but anyone with the dedication can be a global.
Myself on the other hand would love the responsibility and the chance to further contribute.
However in argument to that .... not a lot of people like me XD
-
i dont see any problem with you indy
there should be a thread on the main forum for other langs like mossed site so they can speak in there own lang
-
you say that now ... then you steal my chocolate milk :angry: lol sorry bad memories XD
translaters also work a treat =P
-
well people can use googles
http://www.google.co.uk/language_tools?hl=en (http://www.google.co.uk/language_tools?hl=en)
and i dont chocolate milk i like strewberry milk lol
-
for get the R&D im far to busy with school and work, ive had to neglect so many of my mods because of that
-
im glad i dont go to school anymore it was doing my head in

Ok fair enough, but there are some peopel who would want to do this, we jsut need to find them and actually get someone to accept the fact we need them =]
-
i hope im one of the three you count indy lol
i appear as r/d but im a global underneath
but even then indy knows i count as 10 global mods so its all cool
and yeah we have lots of armchair quarterbacks here
i get pm'd and msn's relentlessly telling me i constantly make bad calls, shouldn't have locked this or that etc, but only ever once by an admin and that was over a post not so much a moderator decision
-

Of course you are and i was exaggerating *fufa, Timmy, kicks and formerly pspmodder so 4 XD
Its still a lot to cover though =P
yes you do count as 10 .... youre EVERYWHERE =P
You get messaged constantly cos you are a bad call =P j/k theyre jsut jealous =P
-
the only person i ever chat to is can we hack it on msn not even my bro chats
-
yeah the only time i pm or msg some one is if some one has been spamming like crazy or if i have another issue i need worked out. as you guys have seen i have no problem calling something out in a thread if i think its inappropriate
-
I have far too many contacts o_O
and I speak to those on AM who add me and as a result e have become quite close :winker:
-
lol you added me on msn and haven't actually said anything yet
-
well, I'd be on more except right now the ethernet port on my computer went out and I dont have any money to fix it. If anyone has a pci ethernet port card they would like to donate let me know! I'm off now, back to what I'm supposed to be doing (at school...)
-
ive been here for some thime but was under another name i think it was neo and i know can we hack it then then i forgot my login details and made this one and have made lots af friends even if they mite live close to me but i help can we hack it alot if he needs it
-
I Have To Agree With Indy, We Have A Fair Amount, But The Right Amount Of Admins.
Although I Would Like To See Some More Local And Global Moderators, Which Should be Spread More Widely Across The Forum.
But The Moderators Chosen Must Be Dedicated, Active Within Their Timezone And Not Just Wanting The Job For The Title... (I Dunno If That Means Dedicated Again, Lol)
-
lol you added me on msn and haven't actually said anything yet
Thats cos whenever i try to speak you just spam the convo =P

There are dedicated members who even post in all sections to learn, advise or smite! =P
For exapmle i'm on acidmods and msn from the time i get home from school to very late at night, but as i said i'm not the sort fo authority people want here lol
-
i dont want to be a mod i just like to chat and help here and there
-
its the whole don't ask, well ask you thing. if they see fit, they will take care of it.
but just like every thing it needs a little jab or stir to keep things lively
-
I wouldnt mind being a mod jsut so i can contribute more, i mean i use acidmdos soo much now it would feel wrong not to give back =P

But the way things are run noone would look or care to fix it ... not dissing anyone or anything =P
Hence why I ask questions when nothigns going on, or post a challenge to liven things up a bit give us somethign to speak about.
i also love to make up little stories that are soo eccentric people jsut have to LOL =P
such as area 51 conspiracy and cyberpyrot: man or virus? those were my best creations =P
-
like i said some times the pot needs a stir
-
thats true :yess:

its very hard to find good trusted people to help on a site

IndyChav, Promoted To Global Moderator...
Thanks man, something i one day hpe to achieve for all my adoring fans out there XD
its very hard to find good trusted people to help on a site
I disagree, there are many amazing members here that dedicated themselves to AM
-
I Think We Need A Poll, Who People Think Should Be Promoted.
-
naw this is jsut discussion, and we need to post candidates first anyway.
Finally, the public dont choose the staff do, and peopel might get their hopes up if they are voted top and then be sad when theyre forgotten lol
-
[/color]
That isnt the way people are picked pspotty :)
I Know, "Who People THINK Should Be Promoted".
-
ye but as indy said, that would give a sense of FALSE hope...
Well, Consider This More Of Recogniton.
Just To Let People Know How Others Feel.
-
in that case why not make an appreciation thread/poll.... that way that member will feel good lol
-
i got a feeling that it would get deleted
-
There's Only One Way To Find Out...
-
i think if it was a poll it would be as it would be flaming so to speak if you publically announced you didn't like them, but people post appreciation all the time :tup:
-
im fairly sure there have been threads like that before and they were deleted under the "don't ask well ask you" policy
-
no i think what we decided on was an appreciation thread not a who thinks *member* should be promoted =]
-
I disagree, there are many amazing members here that dedicated themselves to AM
im not say anything bad its just you need good trusted people before promoting them to mod/admin
-
i suppose, I still stand by my argument that we dont have enough globals and action should be taken =P
-
we should have some globle mods
-
and who should it be?
again we cant do anything, some one of higher power needs to read this and post their opinion as to clear everything up =]

Recognition / Appreciation Thread :)
-
I think there's enough staff here...although I'm staff,so I can't really comment XD But as for globals, *Fufa, Skullmaster, and I are always on pretty much and keep things in order, so I don't personally think we need anymore.Admins, no,definitely not more. So I think staff is fine right now...
But that's just my 2 cents :P
-
I'd say its a mix of both. In terms of mods and admins, theres quite a few but it's true about someone mentioning time zones, most of the admins here are in the PGT (I think), while a good number of us are in different time zones, mostly EST and PCT. I'd suggest either makign a few US members like not full blown admins but part of the staff, or try to devote more time for the ones that are nocturnal to UK :P (trust me, I didn;t say it as an insult, if you devote 9 hours to AM, devote more and make the other members happy! :D)
Edit- Oh yah I mentioned it being overstaffed as well, but not in the actual staff. I'd say theres a HUGE amount of members in AM, over 4000 I beleive, yet I don;t see more then a good 50 post here. I suggest a good old fashioned forum wipe. Basically, wipe all members from AM who have not been on in about 3 months unless given a good legit reason. Ok: Got surgery/vacation/jail. Not OK: f*** it, I quit. I would even suggest adding some post count limitations, like they can't go into the auction section to buy and mabey sell unless they have at least 25 posts, and they can't look into any tutorials just to lurk around unless they have been on a certain time or have a minimum post count. But meh that's just what I think ;)
-
i think we need a uk global tbh
ive been saying we need a clean up sinde I started here, but were not a "snobby" site so post limitations on some tings shuldnt be, but auctions, spam and vhat etc that the full time members use should havbe a required post count and other things that benefited proper members should only see
but thats just wat i think :)

lol we need an irish mod,wot if somebody comes on and they only speak gaelic lololol i speak 3 languages (english,irish gaelic,french) fluently and am learning 3 more (cantonese,japanese,afrikaans)
-
Well over staffed.
Admins are full,
a topic is moved fast and the globel mods are
pspkicks(usa) fufa(europe) indychav(europe) izwarluss(down under) skullmaster(usa)
Timmyxd(downunder)
We dont need a uk mod. fufa and deda timmy are on euro times. also robin and sim are uk.
-
we dont really need any more staff as we now have both admins and global mods that span at least 5 timezones. we have staff in asia, europe, UK, and USA. we have a lot of admins so that there is usually an admin on the site or at least an hour out from comeing on so that we can always be contacted with any problems that may arise. if you want later on i will give you the numbers for what staff we have and i agree topic are usually moved very quickly and problems hastely sorted out.
