Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

I know i am making my own pole... latley the waypointing community has been coming up with some ideas, one is that we make our own website, or page for waypoint downloads and the like. Seeing as how they need help with that, I was wondering if you people think it is ok if i become a mod, please vote!

@biohazerd87 - I have personally nothing against You , but like PMB said (I'm agree 200%) - You have sufficient qualifies to be a moddie here, too, but this could start a really curious situation - more moddies than "normal" members here. Look for example at podbotmm forum - there is a man - Huntkillaz - he also help us much since begining of this forum and he never asked "why I'm not yet a moddie here?". Another example - look at me - I didn't ask - "please, make me a moddie because I want this and I have sufficient qualifies". The people decided so - that forum need exactly me (and also T Wrecks, few weeks later also sPlOrYgOn - because of coding) as a moddie.

If SoUlFaThEr will say - "I will not dedicate to this forum time anymore, because I can't, because I'AM and I WILL be so much busy" and if T Wrecks also will say "Because of my diplom it will be impossible to help this forum for long time" - probably You will be nominated then and You will not need this poll.

BTW. @ My colleague - T Wrecks - why did You say me nothing about this diplom before, when I've asked You if You WANTand You CAN be a moddie here? :P ;)

@biohazerd87: See above... couldn't have said it much better. Look at me: The only thing I'm using my moddie status for right now is that I can edit my posts without time limit and have better control over work-in-progress posts. Actually, there was nothing to moderate so far. But since most releases in this part of the forum are mine, anyway, I guess it makes sense after all. Right now I don't think we need any more moddies here, even if Jesus himself were applying for the job...:D

@KWo: I did tell you. It was long ago, and I can't point you to a specific post, thread or PM anymore, but I told you that there would be 3-4 months when I would be short of time... these 3 months will end at November, 30. ;)

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

Long ago You told me only for You september is science-fiction. Look here:

But there was nothing about 30 november and short time (but yes - it was something about last year of Your study). ;)
But anyway - regardless You told me something or not - if You need biohazerd87 as moddie here - tell this.
And here it IS some big job with sorting something - don't You remember what we were talking about before modding You here (about 2-3 weeks ago)? ;)

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

Heyyo,

Well, the main reason that I voted him as a moddie was for his ability with HTML, and he's definately a good waypointer, and he can help us get our waypoint base all sorted out n' done. I'm betting for the 1st bit the waypoint site will be very hectic as we'll be uploading thousands of waypoints, for many bots, and that's gonna be hard with just 2 active guys (SF's usually too busy, but np).

Of course for this section of the forum we barely get any traffic, but if we provide a high-quality waypoint base? I'm sure we'll get massive traffic there. :D

[EDIT]
BTW, Bio, you're supposed to put this in the agora... OOOH! I shotty moving this thread!!! :D :D :D

[EDIT2]
Heh, now I've gotten to use 4 moddie powers, Editing any posts, create stickey threads, create closed threads, and finnaly, moving a thread... I feel... complete. 9_9

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

I don't want to suggest anything to my colleague T Wrecks, but seems like biohazerd87 voted agains us in some poll... ;)

Seems he wants to be a moddie regardless of the forum/job kind.. :D

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

i would have like to been mod but realised there's no point ....

i just nag the moddies with pm's till they do what i want 8D

i feel so much more powerful that way :D

i can control moderators ;)

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

Sometimes you scare me, KWo... you're like an external memory that's better than one would like it to be... o_O Do you know the song "The Uninvited Guest" by Marillion? :P

And I do remember what we were talking about. Once in a while, albeit not as often as you I actually remember one or two things I dealt with. But this idea of a site convinces me more, it's easier to maintain and to expand. If people want to know what waypoints are available, they can just click on a bot and get the list, which can then be sorted by various criteria. There could be tiny icons for updated and new waypoint files, too... no need to maintain a monster thread here on BU and edit it a zillion times. The site is a different thing, and of course bio would have full admin powers there...
But I'm not really willing to start a long discussion here... just let him be a moddie, too... better one too many than one too few. And if it's a little boost for his motivation, why not? We'll need it sooner or later.

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

honestly it doesn't matter to me... if everyone here thinks it will do more harm then good, then so be it, but vote no, if so, even if i doo make the qualifications

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

I don't want to vote "no". I know You have sufficient qualities to be a moddie, too for Waypointing. Let me whole don't vote - because I'm confused - You are a good candidate for this (this is "pro") but that forum has now 3 moderators (2 active) - so the question is if it really needs one moddie more (and seems for this moment like "contr", but maybe I'm wrong).
Another thing is this - normally the people suggest somebody to modding him. But in Your example it wasn't in this way. I want to see some opinion of other Councils - then maybe I'll vote for some option. Now I really don't know what I have to choose. But this T Wrecks opinion about motivating You - I like it - if somebody else will write something like this - probably I'll vote for "yes".

@Huntkillaz - I don't feel controlled by You. Last time You are not much active - I almost forgot about You. :D

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

well i commented on that i wanted to be a mod in the forum and they told me to start a poll

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

So far its been divided if yr on or not...

Id say if the waypointer also want todo more mods waypoints as only CS waypoints then theres room for more WPT moderaters and hosted waypointpages at BU.
You guys can get Space just here .. no need to get own web pages.

;) :D

so i vote yes if waypoint section becomes more versitaile

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

lol thats because i haven't started....

wait till i get some time and we have a new forum layout ;)

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

how long till the voting is closed anyways?

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

It's depanding of the time You setted up for this poll. :D
Seems Councils don't want to vote - maybe they are confused like me - all they know You have sufficient qualities, but in other hand it's just finished another voting for moddies for the same forum (and now seems the number of them is probably finished).
It's probably also my mistake - I had to ask also You (when I was asking T Wrecks and MarD - i they want to be moddies) and I had start the poll for three people.:( But that time I thought about new moderators there You weren't so active like exactly after that poll was started.9_9

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

well remember i i want tobecome a mod because we are starting a newwebsite for waypoints, which could mean sometimes we are scarce on people, plus i am helping design the newwebpage

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

Now wait for Councils answer and please - a bit more patience... ;)

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

i will.... and thanks

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

Heyyo,

Yep, just give em' time.. So whilst waitin', throw in some good ol' Guns N' Roses - Patience.... n' just wait it out dude. :)

*Whistles the intro to patience*

" Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you I'm still alright to smile..."

*Later on...*

"Just a little patience... yeeaaaaaahhhh...." lol :D

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

The poll is not a public poll ; but, in order to validate it, we must know who voted because we need at least 3 council members to agree.

Nevertheless, I voted "no". Don't take it as a sign of mistrust or anything, but I honestly don't see how being a moderator would help in any way for setting up the waypoints database you're talking about...

What is a moderator ? Some guy who does the police in a particular forum. Moves threads when they aren't at the right location. Closes improductive ones. Stickies others. Warn aggressive members.

It does not mean "I belong to the crew". Look, MarD and KWo are moderators, but they have no website at Bots United, they have been named moderators because there was a need for moderation in some forums.

Is there a need for moderation in the waypoints forum ?
Given the activity there, and the presence of two moderators PLUS the super-moderators and the council members, I would say, no.

Now, a moderator can also access the admin's hidden forum. But this is not a worthy bonus at all, since the only discussions that happen in this forum are relative to the server's security and the technical details exchanged between the hosted members and the UNIX administrators. And there is more discussion going on through PMs than ever in this forum, actually. All the public discussions concerning Bots United happen in the Agora.

This is not a criterium to want to be a moderator, especially if the reason you are invoking is the creation of a waypoints database. How can having access to this hidden forum help you in this regard ?

I don't think there is currently a need for a new moderator in the waypoints forum, and I don't see how being a moderator would help you usefully to do what you propose.

Remember, being a moderator does not mean "I belong to the crew". There is no "crew" here, apart from the 5 council members which are here for administrative reasons - to endorse the responsibility of keeping things rolling. The rest are the hosted bot makers, and you all, the BU community. We're all in the same ship :)

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

do you want me to make another public polld

Re: Should Biohazerd87 Be A MOD
 

You should, because we can't validate this one.
