the mod hiring(s)

err ive forgotten what this thread was about. i think we have gotten off track

[KoTD]

So? in nearly every topic in the HS forums we get a little bit

:wtfwtf: :wtfwtf: :wtfwtf:

I'm too lazy right now to log in, but I do want to ask Ninja to pinpoint my age. I've probably told him by now, but it's pretty hard to tell by my actions alone...

 

While maturity usually comes with age, I know that my 11-year-old cousin is about as mature as a 6- or 7-year-old, although his vocabulary includes many politically incorrect terms that serve to mask his age when he's online, especially when he's mad at someone. Not only are some more mature than their age group, some are less.

ahh, after all this -*BAD WORD*- has happened. with the stupid -*BAD WORD*- staff (excluding pic, bom, quig, coen, and others) has banned like 1000 people, HS's population will never recover. most of the people in hs have already been stolen into ds. so the question is: after all this crap has happened, will it ever be fixed? (guess not)

[Animate Dreams]

Actually, I blame all of HS's pop moving to different zones on the mods NOT silencing the obnoxious, blithering, and offensive idiots as quickly or as long as they should. I've had to leave HS quite a few times because I can't stand someone that's on there. At least with Grav, I could tolerate him, he had some sense behind his stupidity. Now, HS is becoming infested with the kind of noobs that can't even understand the likes of TW. They complain and insult and MAYBE get fined. While fining has a chance of getting someone to shut up, it isn't nearly as likely. I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets tired of idiots claiming to be the master of SS, and I'm sure they cause a loss in pop. I mean really, someone could teach them some manners.

[Dr Brain]

That's because about half of the modding team is on vacation. That's probably part of the population drop, though I know of a few other reasons behind that.

[Darkflare]

I think it is because nike left. thats the true reason.

[FunkmastaD]

lol I'll start abusing more power and Silence all who talk then

and Its funny that people complain about my fines being too high...then we don't fine enough times.

 

Pattern that I always try to follow

Warn, silence and fine, silence and fine x2, kick, longer kick, Ban

I would have liked to not have to macro "?a Don't be a moron"

in flag-*BAD WORD*- i follow

 

 

arena message or pm warn -> /*warn -> More stern /*warn -> /*shutup and a /*warn to say "you have been scilenced, this is your final warning -> Ban

[FunkmastaD]

I think this pattern would get more people to stop

 

Silence, Kick, Ban

[Guest Guest]

Most people end up complaining after they get fined anyway.

that usually works, i think kicks are a waste of time though, if they still doing it afrer a .*shutup and a few warnings then a ban os the only option.

very true, i think it shows good modding to hols your decition after a fine or ban has been made unless changing is it is best for the population and staff - player relationships in a zone.

[ddaL]

Hey, I think a quirky staff is a nice thing to have. Otherwise, it'd be a rather boring zone.

yea quirky staff, that do not really do anything for the zone they staff in are great

[Gravitron]

Although technically retired, I am wiping up my HD and had happened to stumble upon something of adept player.

Since he has been so considerate in refferance to me, and championing anti-profanity, I thought I will drop this little trinket as a goodbye present.

that was funny as -*BAD WORD*- lol

[FunkmastaD]

LOL I remember that moment in HS history

Some people need to chill out while playing SS

[Lanvalk]

Quite oddly, I remember that incident, too. It was... very odd...

[Fat Cat]

I don't remember it at all

[EdTheInvincible]

lol newbie

it was quite amusing to watch Adept curse for an hour about me getting blacklisted

[Fat Cat]

wait, i was there. Now i remember

[EdTheInvincible]

wow just noticed.. I was the MVP..

[»D1st0rt]

Dav, never tell someone they've been silenced

[Guest Guest_rogh]

This is my first post...The first time I paid attention to that green message.

 

Nice, animate dreams, I agree that age shouldn't have anything to do with moderators, and maturity does. However, maturity can change.

When you look at any non-mod person in hs, they are acting as their normal selves. When you make them mods, they will live up to their position and change to be more like a mod. Unless they are a total -*BAD WORD*- and abuse their power, which would be quite obvious when you look at their normal selves(so naturally you won't choose him).

 

I think being a mod just depends on playing A LOT, being friendly with mods, being popular, and being relatively mature.

 

TEST YOUR POPULARITY BY GOING INTO HYPERSPACE AND SAY "HI" IF LOTS OF PEOPLE SAY HI BACK, UR POPULAR, IF NO ONE OR VERY FEW PEOPLE SAY "HI" BACK, UR HOPELESS.

rogh

[EdTheInvincible]

I went to HyperSpace today, and said "Hi". The empty arena echoed for minutes, as if it was celebrating my presence. I guess I'm popular
