My opinions and flaws about HXF.

I disagree with a lot of the staff issues however this is my opinion. Most staff who i see (Moderator) wide do have fun with the members, and especially at night in the spam sections when the forum is more calm. If we didnt have the idiotic users that constantly bully other members, abuse the forum and post pornography on the forum. The forum has changed a lot because now they have a few chances before they get banned or before a SMOD has the chance to Ban them because i believe they have to write reports.

If we didnt have all these trouble causes then the Moderators would be more friendly and have more time to talk to its members. Especially when we get agro because we have issued an infraction that they dont agree with or even just because they like complaining. There is a thread for this and over 50% of the time these are reported they are fine. All staff slip up some times and thats part of life.

I have to say I'm sorry if I have got the wrong end of the stick, the trouble for most members is they can't see what goes on behind the scenes. We don't know all the hassle and agro you get from either management and logs or other members. By the sound of the logs and the reports it makes it sound terribly tedious to do a simple job.

True, but back in the past people didn't hate you for being management. If they have a good idea, they'll level and weigh up the good and the bad and make it obvious why it is better to have, for example, the infraction system than keep the notes system. Now they just chuck out new features and changes with very, very little thought.

The management work with us not against us, we usually get comments especially by J1mi and Elkaa to remind us it is not all about infractions and logs. When it comes to our reports, we are not put in groups of whoever has given the most infractions out are the best. Infact it is the total oposite. Management check a whole lot of things before even considering to complain to us. In my past i have only ever seen possitive and constructive comments that are deffinatly achievable without going around the forum handing out infractions willy-nilly. However we do seem to get a lot of agro either in the posts or PM or even users editing our edits with insults towards us, just for doing our job. I think the logs and infractions are more for us so we know if to improve on reversed infractions ect and to see where we have done good.

I do not mind if people have a constructive argument against why the infraction was unfair because that shows maturity but when i get replies sayin "ooh u noob thats well unfair u *****" ect it makes me wonder why we have to put up with it.

To save the effort, they could hire more than 8 moderators which it seems to be problem. About 20 forums and only 8 moderators. It doesn't work. Super Moderators aren't always available and the management should have better things to do than waste their time on the forum when it should be run by a Forum Manager, Administrators etc. Is J1MI planning on hiring more Moderators soon? That'll be a good idea, considering it is his department. But I suppose trust is an issue, even though moderators that turn rogue aren't hard to control :rolleyes:

I totally agree with what you say. But it's
only rep... It's not going to ruin your life is it? :rolleyes:.

He is hiring at the moment, applications are open if you check the Announcments forum, but their is only so much Moderators can do. Usually all reported posts are responded to fairly fast but when it comes to constant spammers we have to wait for an SMOD to come online and sort this. This is noway management or SMODs problem it is just a problem in general.

Obviously Moderators can't do an awful lot, but having more than 8 will spread the work load. Back in the past (here we go again :P) there used to be 2-6 moderatoes (depending on the activity in the forum) per forum.

Are new competitions announced in the announcements forum?

Sometimes they are :D

Yes i understand what you are saying and that takes the work load off a lot. It is ideal to have a few moderators per forum now their is an extra SMOD on the team aswell as some new moderators on their way. I think 3 is the golden number here as three per forum has been effective in the past few months iv worked there.

I agree with all your comments though and im glad we can have a mature argument/ discussion about it.

Now we wait for some idiot jumping on a non existant bandwagon who decides to complain for the hell of it, althoughI have noticed now Spot has gone the forum seems at least a bit better :D
