Why do the game mods outnumber the forum mods about 2-1? Surely there is much more modding to do in the forums? Or do we have new forum mods on the way?

Game mods can mod the forum too, that's why the game mods outnumber them.

Hehe Corinthe, one of your pupets eh?

I thought that, but surely that makes forum mods a bit pointless?

Do you know how many people use this forum as a dustbin? Who need to clean the mess up? Answer: Forum Moderators! Forum Moderators are essential and maybe your only friends on nationstates...

No, forum mod is the first step on the way to become a senior game mod. Forum mod is some kind of No0b amongst mods :P

Cheers. We might not have the finger on the trigger, but we have the eye on the scope. And in the last week, I have scoped dozens. 8)

The reason we have forum moderators is because that is their only ability, moderate the forums. The Game mods have other jobs to do and cant always be on the look out or "scoping" people as TG refered to it as. That is why.

Furthermore, when there's a huge number of items in the tasklist, the GM's are too busy to deal with Forum issues, so we make our lackies^H^H^H^H^H^H^H fellow mods do it. :wink:

Also, having large numbers of GM's spreads the work out a bit more. This way we can have GM's go on vacation without the tasklist becoming monsterous.

I think that thwey should pomote some new mods now (Ack and Loop most likely), as I have noticed what seems to be a rash of inapropriate behavior.

Of course Sirocco, TG, Steph, Neut, and Hack have been trying there best to keep up with it, but I stil do not like it. :evil:

That is why our responsibility is to report ANY violation directly at the getting help page! http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=help

Watch closely over everything you find suspicious, and if you are not sure just use that getting help page.

Actually we are sort of policemen :lol:

No, no, what I am saying is thatwe need more FMs (or I am overly impatient, one or the other).

I agree with the more FM only part.

So it is not just me then.

Wonder how long before Loop and Ack are made mods then.

Of course Ack does not seem to be in my time zone, but one new mod in my time zone would be better than none.

I don't suppose a few more mods would hurt....then again didn't we just get a bunch of new mods?

Yes, but given the number of new players joining every day, it only makes sense that the number of mods will have to increase in proportion

We got Cog, Steph, Sirocco, and Tactical Grace as FMs.
Karma, Hack, and GMC were promoted to GMs .: less work in the forums.

[mantle] and Feoras retired.

Sorry, but I still think that more forum mods would be nice.
