NationStates Jolt Archive

I have seen a number of players promoted to Mods recently, so I don't know if we're going to have any more appointed in a while, but if I could nominate a player, I would have to grant Agrigento the job of Mod. He is level headed and helps when he can. He deserves a shot.

No offense to you, and I encourage you to post as you wish, but these weekly popularity contests can get a bit old....

I guess if I am going to post a con, I should follow it with a pro to be a nice guy. I vote for [violet].

I've seen many old nations and allies be promoted to Mod status. I of course will never achive that rank because i'm not good at stopping arguments...

The most notable was when i saw MGH a lot. He suddenly became a Forum mod, which surprised me.

Besides, you can't RP much as a mod. you have to patrol the Forums, making sure that no one is spamming, flaming, posting sick pics etc...

We have just seen a few new Forum Mods be appointed, and a couple of Forum Mods become Game Mods. Surely tasks are covered now, I hope!

I wouldn't expect any more Mod appointments for the next month at the least.

Ballotonia

It will probably be a month or two before new forums moderators are put into play. Sirocco already became a mod so I'm out of good candidates. I can tell that Qaalachora(sp?) is helping out a little more.

I've always thought Balltonia would be a good moderator though I haven't seen him in the forums for a little while.

I would just let the mods and admin decide, when they find someone that they think is good enough to act as mod, I am sure that they will let em know...besides threads such as this usually hurt your chance of becoming a mod...aside from that they can be annoying.

I vote for [violet].

Well, geee, you're helpful. :P

With good ideas like these, we really should be consulting you more often. :lol:

They may be annoying but a while ago, in one of these types of threads, Salusa said that he 'unofficially approved of it' and that mods 'look for player input'. If it doesn't get locked, then they don't mind it that much.

Congrats to the new GMs BTW.

I actually think that Cloggy :P should be a game moderator within a few weeks because, though he has only been FMing for a little while, he's doing nicley.

Thanks, but since I only read Moderation and Technical and spend the rest of my time in-game (not on the forums), I think I'd make a lousy Forum Mod anyway. Don't ask me which threads belongs in NS and which in II, I have no idea nor do I actually care (sorry!). Also, there's at least one Game Mod who will have a few choice words to bring in as objection to me Modding, so it's not gonna happen. That's fine, I'm happy enough playing the game. Occasionally when I see a UN Multi griefing I wish I had a big red button on my screen that allowed me to DEAT them all, but I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling that way.

Ballotonia

no you're not the only one.


how about kandrian? he's always given good advice. i've never seen him lose his cool.

I would like to become mod, although I highly doubt that it would happen beause I don't know about a lot of the technical side of things.

Actually, the amount of technical knowledge amoung the mods varies greatly. That's one of the reasons they have me. I specialize on that so they don't need to.

:D That's good! As I really don't know much about the technical stuff.

I don't get the impression there will be any new mods in the near future.. but ... you never know. ;)

That's quite true, you do have quite a few mods now.

True, although it would be great if there was a mod who specialized in the UN. I know there are several who hunt down multis, and such things, but someone who patrolled the resolutions looking for inappropriate ones, and worked the UN forum exclusively would be very helpful. Unfortunately, those of us who just use the UN and don't RP in the NS and Incidents forum are vasly outnumbered by people playing war, misusing delegate status, and region crashing.

There could be some unfortunate "accidents..." :twisted:

I actually do keep a close eye on the UN ... I just don't post that much any more. Just so you know you're not left in the dark. I don't believe to much in locking threads there unless they don't belong there , then I move them. Mostly if it's an issue that is currently at vote I leave them alone..

Doesn't Enodia deal with the UN? Clearing stupid proposals etc.

Yes from a Game Mod stand point.. he also keeps a close eye on the forum as well. I can only keep a close eye on the Forum as I'm not a Game Mod .. :)

And I just reserve the right to flame the n00bs 8)

Please don't hurt me!

It's not flaming...it's hazing.... :lol:

Actually, there is a very broad range of skills amongst the Mods. Some know all about the RP side of things, others the UN, some have played the NS World side of the game extensively, etc. We are all actually very different people.

As for new Mods, who knows what the future will bring?

Even though she just refused I nominate Ballotonia. I also nominate Sunset.
I would nominate Kandarin and Loop too, but I suspect that there might be some COI there, or at least it might seem that way.

COI=?

Conflict of intrests(I think)

*makes notes for Guide* :wink:

Interestingly, there is a nation called Conflict of Interest.

[Dang. All the people I nominate are already mods. O_o I don't hang around General to much though... --Felix]

Loop would be fair, unbiased, and just, unlike most/all of the mods. :)

Yes, he would also beat out Neut as least popular mod due to his firm control over the EP.

But Loop is way cooler than anyone here. Even me. 8)

I wouldnt say I'm not popular...just disliked by a very vocal, but small group of peoples.

At least you have a sense of humor. :D

I thought that you said that the Nazis hated you when you reigned them in, and Beeks and co flame you when you reign them in.

Eh, I just tell myself two things:

A: This too shall pass, tomorrow they'll be on my side...

B: I cant say because it'll get me in trouble ;)

Well, just doing what I can you know.

I like the sig change on this post, perhaps more laughing and less thinking would make us all a bit cheerier. :)

you must remember, We are hated for two entirly seperate reasons, kinda like Apples (me) for my in game play and for my refusal to RP
and Oranges (Neut) for his calls in Mod issues,

although as I have said The Ep will be rid of me should the Initiation occure,

and I thank Raevyn for nominating me, TY TY ^-^

A: This too shall pass, tomorrow they'll be on my side...

True, even though I liked you at the start of the game and like you now, there was a long period of time in which I was mad at you for locking the thread on NS2 without answering my question (An I still haven't found that sticky yet Neut. :evil: :twisted: ).

although as I have said The Ep will be rid of me should the Initiation occure,

Then I second t6he nomination.
(I just do not want to see the mod forum clogged up with "! IFNIAET LOUP IS A POWAR ABUSOR" and "Are Mods Allowed to Do This?" threads.)

But still no invader has been given a chance.

I think that Ack might become a mod at some point.

[Agreed. --Felix]

Can you imagine Ack and Neut on the same side?

"Riots in the streets, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!"

I can imagine all right.

I recall my father's description of "the odd couple" after all.

:twisted:

You are feeling sleepy... very sleepy... you are falling into a deep sleep...

And when you wake up, you will make Roania a moderator... a moderator... or at least a modling. Pretty please?

<<Not being serious... at least, not very. But this is what some of these people sound like>>

I think that Ack might become a mod at some point.

Well thanks, though I consider the reality of such an occurrence to be unlikely. That said, I no virtually nothing so what do I know.

Been a short jog since I have had to bones thrown in the same thread, thanks. Vote of confidence is always appreciated. I do think that we, as players, can get caught up in thinking of such a “promotion” as an overall goal, which can lead the fallicy of failure if such a thing does not occur. A lot of you may not have this, but I do believe some do. And this is why I sometimes throw sideways comments about such threads. While it is clearly validating to see that you are appreciated, I hope that players do not view failing to achieve this one accomplishment as somehow failing to play the game to the best degree.

Anyway, stepping down from my turnip truck, thanks for the vote of confidence all the same.

I feel pretty good that the person I have been touting for modhood for the last few threads, Cog, did get promoted. Guess I will have to get a new person to holla for.

Can you imagine Ack and Neut on the same side?

"Riots in the streets, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!"

Sure, I can imagine it. Read about it somewhere, in a book called Revelations I believe.

No, Neut and I have more then our fair share of disagreements. That said, what matters is to forgo bias, and to this we likely agree.

I can imagine all right.

:twisted:

Not sure either of us appreciate being described as a "couple." :lol:

EDIT: Sorry, missed this one:

True, according to the poll I had a while back, present mods felt this was a distinct possiblity. At the same time, I believeit was stated that modhood was granted when all the mods agreed on a player, or so this was suggested-- could have been suggested falsely. But I don't think there is a single mod the invaders all like, so the liklihood is rather small, if existent.
