3 New MOD's.

[Jcshua]

But no apps? So a few left, so you're just re-hireing old MOD's who have been sacked/resigned? Ry and ssricky are back..

Nope.

opensourcehost and yoshimitsui are new moderators.

You get offered a moderation job based on your posts reports and general understanding of, and behaviour on the forum.

I done a typo in the Thread.
I ment 2 new MOD's but the old ones is which the thread is based on.

And you don't need posts to Moderate..

[Hecktix]

There was an announcement a while back saying they were employing on general forum behaviour and post reports. Thats where they are getting people from.

They need new mods thats why there are so many coming through.

[:Jamie]

Probably best way is doing it like this instead of applications as it shows you can do whats needed

[VPSwow]

oh i see

We need to fill the gap somehow, and using the already posted about method of looking for people who report posts and the such seems perfectly acceptanle.

[jackass]

I think applications & trials are better tbh.

Agreed, it's only fair.
There aint been apps for like, centurys.
And a big site like this, which only have about 11 MOD's now?
No wonder its gone down......

Applications can be lied about; it's no use saying what can do without putting it into practice - this way, it's more practical.

11MOD's and more SMODS - it's all that's needed, maybe a few more but not extortionate.

It's not gone down at all; it's gone up.

2 smods down remember!!
Also, a lot of the mods are on/threatening to strike.

[today]

well lets face all mods will be Super Mod's sooner or later -.-'

&& its down to if you get any Rec's in the thread, i got three and was sent a pm from Mad so yeah. report posts && report members, (though make um detailed, the newb people tbh) :]]

No, your wrong - its gone far down.
Applications involve trials, thats why its better. Because you get written versions AND pracitical versions.

before you complain you should get some facts. i took a leave of absences for 2 months because i was dealing with some irl problems. other mods resigned as well cuz of irl stuff to deal with. new mods that are hired without aps are based on recommendations by other staff or just other members that stand out by following rules and reporting.

[Hecktix]

No, your wrong - its gone far down.

Basically, it's just ---POWERMAD--- taking stuff into his own hands again, he cant be BOTHERED to read applications so he does it on post reports.

Prove it that it's gone down.

It's more practical to base it on post reports.

[today]

i agree n disagree.

i think jsut rec's cant be too good 'cus i asked to get a rec when i got one two others just "agreed" lolol. So you know..

[jackass]

Most people in the Catzsy thread would agree, which is the majority of the forum.

And to base it on post reports is not more practical. A written version, followed by a trial to see if you know what you are doing, getting used to the tools and being recorded on it at the same time is much better.

[today]

When you get offered it without applications your still on trial.

[DiscoPat]

Its good

he doesn't have dan to do it for him ;) have fun with mod reports mad.

Sorry, can someone tell me where in the post I have quoted I have been stereotypical or prejudice, I'm not too sure.

It's not stereotyping, it's fact - Mad is lazy.
And it's not prejudging when I'm commenting on MAD around 10 months after I met him?

And I'm not sure on the decision to be honest, they do get a lot of applications and they are a pain going through, I remember going through HxHD applications, it was an absolute pain in the rear end.
Reccomendations always seemed the easier option, but I thought them unfair for HxHD, but I'm not too sure about the forum, because if people are reporting posts they are clearly picking up on the rule breaking before the moderators, which of course is good :)

[dramatic]

It's good like this. You get noticed if you report posts and your behaviour. Also, you can get recommended like YouHeard. He didn't really apply, he got recommended by others and was offered the job I believe.

Also, yotsubishi or what ever his name was is a admin on the HabboWorld forum I think.

[today]

HabboxWorld* && hi newbie

[Axel]

He's just hiring all the people who are clueless about what's been going on.

[Bomb-Head]

It's also based on the recommendations thread in the Moderator forum aswell as post reports and general attitude :)

[dramatic]

Yeah sorry, and if that was sarcastic then I'm not going to give you the time of day, but if it wasn't then hello!

For the record, i am NOT a new Mod, the position was left open for me around 5-6 months ago because I suddenly couldn't get online because of family commitments, and then my computer breaking, and since buying a new laptop, and getting things back on track, i decided to make a return, having no idea about the recent moderators coming and going, and all that larky.

I did not resign or get fired/sacked.

Thanks

I never said you was a new mod.
And leaving because of no internet/family problemes, is basically resigning then coming back..

[Seren]

No, your wrong - its gone far down.
Applications involve trials, thats why its better. Because you get written versions AND pracitical versions.
Even if you're hand picked you still get a 2 week trial.

a leave of absence is nothing like resigning. :/
besides the forum cant get any worse than it already is, so it doesnt exactly matter.

Oh yeah?

Resign = To step down from a position.

He done that while he was having problems.

How are applications more fair than recommendations? When you send in an application you can lie about everything and get a trial.

Nobody is striking or threatening to strike.

And since when do you need to be good at writing to moderate a forum? ;)
Reporting posts and behaving well is basically a long trial. If you can't do that then you shouldn't even try to become a mod.


i agree n disagree.

i think jsut rec's cant be too good 'cus i asked to get a rec when i got one two others just "agreed" lolol. So you know..

MAD will look more into the recommendations to make sure those people didn't behave bad on other accounts and all that kind of stuff. It's not like you get hired when 3 people recommend you. ;)


Most people in the Catzsy thread would agree, which is the majority of the forum.

And to base it on post reports is not more practical. A written version, followed by a trial to see if you know what you are doing, getting used to the tools and being recorded on it at the same time is much better.

So writing that you would be a good mod is better than reporting posts and helping other members which shows you would be a good mod? I don't think so. :)
Trials have nothing to do with it, people who get recommended will be looked at too, all mods are being watched. :P All new mods have to get used to the tools, I don't see how getting recommended or sending an application would help you to get used to them.

I don't think the forum is going down, it's still running smoothly. The only thing that changed is that people like Catzsy and Dan are no longer part of the team and some people don't like that.

I'll finish with some facts to back up my points about recommendations..
Months ago when applications were open every week 5 people would get a mod trial based on their application, 12 or 13 people out of the 15 people with a trial failed. Today people get mod jobs based on their behavior and post reports and on recommendations, they all pass. :)

Yes the system does seem to suggest that although this is still quite a high turnover which suggests that it could still be improved. Also until Mr. Sam came back there was no promotion to Smod for ages.

I expected no less because there are some very good long serving Smods and mods there. Nobody can like everything but I dont think that fact we are not part of the team is relevant because nobody has criticised the mod staff. =]

[le harry]

Everyone thought this forum was going to fall apart.

It's all been forgotten now =]

[Catzsy]

Yes into the mists of time with a lot of happy memories which is what I will take with me =]

[le harry]

Are you sticking around Habbox?

[Catzsy]

Yes I will still be a member - its a great forum =]

[le harry]

Excellent =]

Alright, Post reports is a good idea. But I still hope applications will come out later, so I can apply. Reports aren't geting me anywhere, at the moment. Don't quote me on this. :)

Lol -quoted :D Well it maybe the quality of posts you are reporting rather than the quantity. Pm one of the Smods or the FM. they may be able to help =]

Some very good points made in this thread I must say :) +rep.

Before promoting people to Smod we want to check they have enough time to cope with the demanding job and off course be able to do the job itself in the first place.

Okay, thanks Catszy.
-REP for quoting me though.
Hehe, jokes. ;)
