3 New MOD's.

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.

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

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.

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......

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

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

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. 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. =]

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]
