New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Because PMB and SF are much busy now, the POD-BOT2.6mm forum need new moderator (or moderators). PMB asked us to open this thread (poll) here. At that forum there is a thread with some nominations:

http://forums.bots-united.com/showthread.php?t=2177

According to the results of these nominations now we ask You , Council Members, to decide and vote who should be a new moderator there (or moderators - if You will decide this).
Only Council Members can vote and argue (if they need) for options here.

[EDIT]
OK - after PMB suggestion this poll is now for all members.
[/EDIT]

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

it should be much clearer that just members vote dont count.. or does them?

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

If I'm only a member I can't disable voting for "normal" members or change the counting system. So - I can ask only - please - don't vote here if You are not a Council Member... I hope this is clear now. ;)

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Because this is NOT a public poll normal members should not vote so that the poll reflects only the council votes.

But it would have been better to make this poll a public one. On public polls, everybody can vote, so that the members' voice repartition may influence some or all of the council members' votes. This would have been more democratic.

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Sorry PMB - You exactly said this before:

http://forums.bots-united.com/showpo...05&postcount=6

It's my mistake. I don't know why I thought all time this should be a poll Council Members only. This should be a public poll. So how can I change this poll to the public one? Probably this IS a public poll , because I can't create another one. So - OK - who wants vote in this poll - vote now, please. Sorry for my mistake...

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Just a short remark: It would be nice if those who vote "nobody specified above" would say whom they would like to see as a moderator instead.
Pure "eh... who cares?" votes are not very helpful, I think. If you don't think KWo or me should be moderators (which is a perfectly legitimate opinion), then please offer an alternative or suggest something / someone, because the PB 2.6mm DOES need a moderator or two.

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Maybe some rivals (funs of other bot) want to close our forum? :D

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

i voted for both of you :)

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Thanks for the support, Adrian! I appreciate it... :)

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

ok, voting secret here ...

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

i dont thin it is a good thing to tell what you voted. .since a few read before they vote and then decide.. and then they could see the @$3 who is everybodies hero (no offence) :P voted both and then they vote that just becuase.. is that right?

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Yes - You are right. T Wrecks asked only write something if somebody has something against both of us - to propose something different (alternative). It's very easy to say - I'm disagree and I don't care what will happen at the result of this poll. But to say something positive if somebody is disagree needs more his effort. The problem is - our forum needs a moderator or moderators. So if You are disagree - give us some other solution.
I hope this is clear (sorry for my bad english...).
Simply look once again what T Wrecks said. ;)

BTW: I don't know exactly why all members from all forums here shuld decide about PB26mm forum - even these never looked there. Some of members simply don't have any business to create (or not) some moderator at our forum.... OK they must not to decide, but they can...???:(

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

well, I thought this may also be some council related stuff, therefore I said what I voted ... such decisions have to be made anyway by the council I think, but to know the opinion of all users is a nice idea as well

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Me Me I Will Do It Hahaha

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

I suppose the most important opinion of users should be the opinion of the POD-BOT2.6mm forum users. And You can read this opinion here:;)

@ biohazerd87 - why didn't You say this before in the thread at the link I show above?

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

both

just give them moderators and we'll be through with it :D

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Though its nice to know what most people want... its not the council who must listen to all the people. I think when all the people themselves of the POD forum think they have found sufficient members and suppose them, then the council will surely agree with the proposal, because the council is actively busy with BU all the time.

Anyway, this is not about how and when the council should function or not (see the rules for that); its about moderator(s) for the POD MM 2.6 forum. Since there is some unclearity, i suggest you inventarisate on that forum who is willing to be moderator, or start a public poll on there. When you have candidates you can put them in a poll here...

even better would be if you already have managed to select a candidate and simply ask a YES or NO to us (the council)...

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Sorry - but we did this already, but without poll - there was an open discussion about this. Look here (I also posted this link here):
http://forums.bots-united.com/showthread.php?t=2177

I thought exactly in this way, but Mr. President wanted to open a public poll at AGORA (not only for Council Members) - so I couldn't be against him. ;)

Don't get this like some my offense or arrogance, please, but now it seems like Council Members need to create some clear roules how to create a moderator.

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Too late... now this poll is running. As KWo said, we started a thread in the BU forum, and after a fair amount of replies, it showed that most ppl suggested either KWo or me for the job...

Maybe a "Bots-United Rule-o-Rama" would be a nice sticky in the Agora? One about topics like this? I'm sorry if KWo and me are causing any inconvenience or trouble here - if we had had a clear and concise set of rules to adhere to, things would have been easier for all of us, I think. As the BU community keeps growing, decisions become less easy to make on an ad hoc basis... that's where some rules should kick in and prevent possible misunderstandings. Just my personal $ 0.02, of course...

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

:'( :'( :'( Totaly Ignored, Although used to it.... hey T Wreks did you get that e-mail I sent you, I don't want you to think i left you out to dry on our WP project;)

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Aw, damn. Bad timing for your vacation. You didn't post anything in the preliminary thread (well, you couldn't, but we didn't know that), that's why you got "ignored".
Yeah, I just got your mail and will have a look at the WP in a minute.
More info in the corresponding thread, ok? I don't want to go off topic here. ;)

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

*bump*

they both win, can we have the modd'ies now....

i need to give some WORDS to em :P

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Alright!

Vox populi, vox dei

KWo and T Wrecks are moderators in the POD-bot 2.6mm forums. Congrats to both ! :)

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Big thanks to all people voting for us and for Your decision ,Pierre. T Wrecks and me - we were not sure if the result of this poll is whole valid , because even majority of Council Members didn't vote.
If the people and You decided to make as the new moderators - we need help them when they will need our help. The same - of course - for these voted against us. We are here for helping ALL people from our forum.
I'm not sure if "congrats" is a good "therm" in this situation. We didn't make any competition, so we are not some winners. Me - personally - I don't feel this. I didn't look for some important position at this forum, but of course, I feel honored because You and the people want me and T Wrecks as moderators. If I look at the begining of my joining here - I can't believe - some people warned me about possibility of ban me here and now I stayed a moderator. It's really odd - but this is life. ;)
T Wrecks and me - we will have more job since now. :)
Since now we stay as moderators only because existing moderators currently don't have so much time to do moderator's job, so we have to help them. The winners , I suppose , can be members of our forum and podbot2.6mm users.
Because IvPBot and [E]PodBOT are not longer supported, probably many users will join to our forum, so really there will be need of more moderators for our forum and this is now made.
Probably we need some tutorial about moderator's obligations and rights.
Anyway - big thanks for good words. :)

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Well... I suppose there's not much to add to what KWo wrote (long post, as usual ;) ).

Ok, now I gotta read a lot of posts and PM's and start working... :D this will be the best way to get accustomed to the new job, I suppose.

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

one more thing about this moderator stuff... why isn't sPlOrYgOn a moderator either ? He's the main coder of the bot, I think it's just fair to allow him to mod the podbot forum...

What do the other council members think ?

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

yeah why not..here's pratcially here all the time

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Wow! Huntkillaz - I knew nothing about this You are also a Council Member...:D

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

That's a good point. Now that KWo & me are moddies, we can take care of moving / deleting threads and stuff, and sPlO could really use the moderator privileges to post the changed to the dll in the release thread KWo suggested @ the moddies' hideout.
This thread would be a sticky in the coding sub-forum, where sPlO could post the latest changes he made to the dll so there are no surprises.
It could look a bit like this:

Last BETA uploaded: [date]

changes compared to last official release:
- bla
- bla
- bla

The upload date and the changes list could be edited / extended every time a new BETA is out- this way we could keep track of what's happening. And if some change is reversed from one BETA to the next, a comment could be added by sPlO. Just a suggestion, of course.

Ok, so do we make an official poll this time or do we just make sPlOrYgOn a moddie? I mean, he IS the "main guy" behind the bot, and all the other coders are moddies, too, so I think it's due...

And concerning the release thread, I'd suggest we first open a thread in the general PB 2.6mm forum to collect ideas, and then, with the next official release, we open the release thread and start using it. Does that sound reasonable? ;)

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

Maybe it's reasonable but for sure about 70% it's offtopic. :D
Don't forget You are a moddie now, so You have to be exemplify. :D
I'll have call You to order. :D

You could simply write to me and sPlOrYgOn a PM about this without any afraid we will petition to Council for start the ban procedure against You because of "nagging" us , distress us or overflood our inboxes. ;)

BTW: Oooops! This one is 100% offtopic. KWo - I'm bringing Your attention.:D

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

KWo, this story is over. I was against deleting the threads concerning you because it would have been like if the council was faulty and that we wanted to hide something from you, but Nova decided so. Nonetheless you were not named a moderator without all this story in mind. And don't doubt that if somebody else was to come and act the same way, unless his attitude was clarified we would react identically.

Bringing back this old story here is untactful to say the less.

NeuroSpeech has dedicated teams in individual language to moderate the community.

Re: New moderator(s) needed for PB26mm forum
 

You just broke our rules You should've been read them at registering and You deserve a warning.
For Your information - all people here (at this forum) they are volounters (they don't get any money for work here) so we will not employ any person to moderate or do something else here for money.
This topic is 2 years old so it could be closed - we don't have lack of moderators in that forum right now.
