No moderators!

post here if you have 600 or more posts and are not a moderator. I'm just curious. Besides me and fishee is there anybody else?

zbailey, as has been noted here before, being a moderator is not determined by how many posts you make but how many people you help and the quality of help that you give them. If you're upset about not being a moderator (you post enough about it, so I think I may be right on this one) take a look at the posts that you've made. Have they been quality posts? Have you helped many people? If you've helped people, don't worry about not being a moderator. Be happy with the fact that you have helped. After all, that's what we're here for!

I dont think we should have post counts its causes too many sill threads and lots of upset people. I dont care ho wmany posts anyone has its there knowledge!!and hanging around in the coffee-lounge aint gonna get you a moderator position(not aimed at you zbailey i know you help alot of people)alot of the pople here who have high post counts are accumulated through the coffee-lounge now i can honestly say that atleast 87% of my posts are in the actual help forums the rest are team news,site check and the coff-lounge. now can we put a stop to this competing with post counts stuff please!!


Thanks!! Regards FlashGuru

p.s sorry zbailey i knwo you said no moderators it just annoys me to see so many threads and posts about how many posts people have made?!?!?

Zach, your best bet would be to hang out in the General Help or Design Forum. Just a suggestion. Steve

I just wanted to be a bad boy and post hahahahahaha :)

I think that eliminating the post ount is a pretty good idea. At first that was all I was going for, it gives people an unrealistic view of Flashkit reality. Steve

Nah, post counts for the most part let people know whos been around and who knows what. I think a good Idea would be to not have them count if you are in the lounge etc. Make them only count in the areas that have real content. Or when you reach 2500 it just ends. somthing along those lines. Regards, Bill

Thats an even better idea. Or maybe a little bar on the side of our name as to what raking we are, like Flashkguru would be #3 because he has less post than the pope, pope would be 2, and Mark would always be #1. Kindof like best of the class sort of thing. Steve Starr

Dont know about the 2500 idea i just think that we should make sure that the date that people registered is emphasised more than the post count or remove the post count all together!!!

Either way it will stop the silly threads and the competition also the coff-lounge idea was good pope i think mark should give that some thought!!

Anwaysy well still have the ranks,new member,member,senior member,executive member,fk team and so on...


maybe they should add more ranks and get rid of the post count!! what do you guy's think??

that would cause the same type of competition though stevestarr,we would have people posting threads well im now ranked no. 17 in the whole of flashkit and so on!!!Still a good thought may reduce the problems a little!!

What about a combination of No posts count in the Lougne and the Nuber system. Steve

Sorry to cause the comotion, It's funny all but one of the posters was a moderator. :) I think that posting shows how much you are around the boards, you can actually learn a lot in the coffee lounge and i think a lot of people with a high post count help people too. Having just the date of becoming a member is a bad idea, there are probably a few people who registered in FEB that have only made 1 or 2 posts. Again I am sorry, I kinda like racking up my post count, i do post a lot in the coffee lounge but you can post only so much before you run out of threads or don't make sense so this motvates me to help people! :)

That would be alot better!!!Ill ask Mark and he'll probably say "no its not worth it",but ill give it a go!!!

By the way in response to Nadine I am not upset about not being a moderator. Sure it would be awesome to become one but it isn't something that keeps me from sleeping. Hell, i've only been a member for 3 1/2 weeks!

Guru, are you saying that my idea is good? If you are dont forget to mention me! :) Steve

I ask you the question then... whats so good about being a moderator?

And why is it such a sought after prize? I am curious as I get at least 5 emails a day from people asking about becoming one! Its a lot more work!

I choose moderators carefully, there needs to be a balance of senior members who are well respected and liked (like you zbailey) and moderators that I choose. The moderators that are chosen so far have been excellent, and the numbers will grow over time, we are just full at the minute almost!

Mark, I think that members seek after moderationship, because it feels kidof like a promotion, and it also feels as thought the Flash Community respects you enough to feel that you can help others. It's a good feeling. Seeking of all those email about being a moderator did you get mine? :):) Steve Starr, aka FlashkitServant

True enough, but its not really a promotion, otherwise I would end up with a board full of moderators :)

in my opinion there are to many moderators.
there are a few names up that don't even help.
There are some moderators that have not posted a message in 5 months.

I think that most people want to be a moderator because
they seek respect and attention.


Now you may ask "so how did you get to be a moderator?"
I was asked by Mark.
I did not ask him he asked me.

So if FlashKit thinks you got what it takes they will ask you.:)

Thats probably the best answer yet :)
