Well, I'm just curious.
I've just noticed tonight that cl mods have been reduced to three mods. I forgot how many it was, but I believed gerbick and enigmus is suppose to be in the list. I'm not sure. I might have missed something here.

Well, I'm just curious.

Gerbick's dissapearance was I believe his choice, for a little more info check the last two pages of the WH thread.
All the others were removed by Starkey, since they were MIA; they were on the list, but not visiting the forum, and the mods still there are the ones who can actually moderate and contribute. Some removed include Flashguru, and Nigma, along with the others who I can't remember right now.

hmmm... I see, I see
8minus8 was on the list, right?
can't remember what happened here, I hope I don't have an amnesia.
A lot has happened here. I missed WHers vs. Fkers.
me2, that what I get for ignoring threads....geez, I need to find out how to stay here 25hrs a day :DQuote:

I thought that it was a bit strong! 2 mods in a heated debate!!!
Unless Aria has awoken with a headache..:confused
now, now. people, respect the CL and the CL mods as you've always treated them in the past.
there's always more than one mod that can mod the CL. :)
Frrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeedom :D
do u still hav the right to mod this Section
Lets us all pray for the lost souls :D
game on .. sorry to see you dropping down Gerbs, although from recent chats, I certainly understand what you're saying (with regard to the babysitting aspects at least) :)
Super moderators can also assist when needed, but the job is really that of the CL mods to take care of most of the work, so I'm guessing now jdura and bruce are going to have to work thier tails off.
speaking of which, we're down to two; aversion is gone.

that would not be the issue if some self-moderation and moderation by peers were to happen sometimes. this is a community.Quote:

time to act like one perhaps?
I hear ya' gerbs, and that's exactly why the Super mods don't want to get involved, people should be able to take care of themselves; an occasional slip up, ok, but not this constant 'babysitting'.
For those who don't already, try visiting the other forums, I personally can talk about the Swish one. Things are run so smoothly there, the mods are great (they are in the CL too, I'm just commenting they are as well there), and do not have to do much work as people know the restrictions (more or less) in that forum.
Sad this can't [apparently] be accomplished here.
h
so true hocky, so true. the Swish forum mods do a great job. as well as the other mods.
and yeah, even the CL mods. I've just gotten upset with the lack of quality, even from me, lately here. Time for me to distance myself from the chatting, and stick to what I do best... trying to help in the 3D forums.
Swish mods (from what I've heard from reliable sources) do not come here for exactly the reasons as you said. That people can't take care of themselves at all. They're great mods and great people there, but they're all 'afraid' of the CL, as it's not as 'self-cleaning' as the Swish forums. I mean, there are so many people there who are not mods, but help out immensely, and it's just really a pleasure to be there.
As I previously mentioned...it's too bad this can't (or doesn't) happen here.
and it's also a pity the super mods have to spend so much time here, since there are so many problems, complaints, and issues that come up, and people can't deal with themeselves. Therefor they can't be around as much in the other forums, since they have to be taking care of things here so much.

mods i seen the most here are Gerbick, Aria and Aversion... sometime Razormedia and other uber or normal mods...
will chaos reign in CL without them?
That's the point me and gerbs were trying to bring down. People should be able to some extent take care of themselves, and not need a mod to babysit every minute. Sure there are messups, which is what they should be there for, but chaos should not reign here; people should take care of themselves, which for some reason, can be accomplished most of the time in the other forums.Quote:

true...
i can't help much here without being accused of self-righteousness and stuff like that... oh well... good luck to CL and the Mods here...
I spend less time here these days for similar reasons, I like chatting with the members from here that stumble to minty forums and I don't recall ever having to close a thread, just sit back and enjoy sensible people letting loose and having a good laugh.Quote:

the help forums are self ,moderating to a greater extent because the discussion is focussed, people go there with a specific purpose, to get help.Quote:

People either provide an answer or leave them be. There is not the scope there to go off topic or get emotionally involved.
The CL on the other hand gives people an [almost] free reign to discuss what they want, opinions an personalities come into play and feelings get hurt.
Swampy, I hear what you're saying. But the lack of self moderation in the Lounge is not even normal. Obviously the lounge needs some more moderation, but to an exent, needs to do some self moderation as well. When people discuss things that are simply against the rules, they should know that themselves, and not do it.
h
They should but they sadly don't. People want in on every topic even if not something they're interested in and conversation becomes less focused. It's not a suprise with the number of members but it's also not difficult to not reply to every thread. I think restraint is just as important as moderation ..Quote:

Jamble...couldn't have said it better myself, although I did touch upon that a few posts ago:p
But in addition to members replying to threads they don't need to reply to, threads are being made, and posts that are simply against FK rules. Mods then have to come in and say "this isn't the right forum" or "not appropiate for FK", and these kind of things, as a bunch of you have mentioned, can easily be taken care of by the FKers themselves.
I personally have replied to less and less threads recently just for that reason. So many posts/threads have been crap, and I don't want to be a part of it. Then when a decent post/thread comes along, you have to have people posting irrelevant material, having hijacking contests and the like, etc.
h
there's lots of lovely "mass-debate" threads and "is this right/wrong" threads that for my money are daft and it amazes me people take them on and debate things that don't have definitive answers. Sometimes I chip in and have a giggle at the thread, sometimes I don't. I've been around FK longer than most and seen how the CL (since I don't use any other forums) has become a much younger place. The topics aren't as thought provoking or interesting as they used to be. I've never been a great one for starting new threads, I like to reply and read more. I guess it comes down to the simple matter of if you've got nothing constructive to say, keep it zipped :D (not you btw hockey!)
I've been here longer than you Jambo!
:p
now that was very constructive!
Seriously, though. The CL is a major indicator of the ebb and flow of the trends here at FK. True, I think FK has gotten younger than it's been since I first arrived here. True, a lot of users have moved on. But, with that said... jambo and swampy have said it best. Self-moderation is the key.
<fingers crossed>
Maybe it'll happen.
I don't think it will happen with some of the younger membership - kids like to break rules and push boundaries, simple as that. It annoys me that certain members chirp up and demand to be treated as young adults but then don't behave as young adults.
unfortunately it's these same people that sit in the CL all day spamming threads and turning the older memebers away to other sites.

Haha, thanks man:) The only real long one I remember starting was the one on Bugboy=Jezza? thread...boy that was fun:)
It is too bad that normal discussions can't be held here...:(

ok, so you got me beat on the time here...
Mark ... seize the moment, dear ... They're runnin' short on mods ~ this could be your moment!
Nah, Lannie would be better:)
and supermods don't really want to have to be only modding the CL you know...
and here's a perfect example of something that should have been 'self modded' and not posted in the first place.

idura99 should be taken off from the list. Perhaps gerbick or other active mods should take his place. Coffee Lounge is the most active board here in FK; therefore, active mods should stay here. Gerbick and aversion are the most active here so far. Gerbick, however, because of your activeness, you're sometimes annoying, you spam the board, and you practice hijacking inconspicuously. No offence gerbick, but I know you're just silly sometimes :p
we seriously need an update of mods in the art and anime forum
awwww. you've noticed my talents?Quote:

We havn't had any really good debates for a long time, the last one that I can actually remeber was the one about how nescacarry the dropping of the A-Bomb by the US was.
I agree this forum has gotten younger, I have seen a lot more questsions that should have been in placed in one of the help forums come up in here. There seems to be like 3-4 every week instead of 1 every 3-4 weeks. Also someones that are just plain out pointles (alla, hijacking competion
...eceppeccially when it invloved the help forums).
I have modded other forums, and this is probably one of the worst I have seen (I am not a mod here). In one of my forums, we had a problem with one poster...a young poster, that well...he liked to post...a lot. Well, we told him how it wasn't write, we punished him once, and he got it straight, and now is pretty good on that board. Also, this forum has a lot of neck-bighting of peoples personal opinons, and people just generally being jerks in the fourm.
This forum, could really use a "Rules" thread much like the flash footer one. I think it would help a lot and minimize the questions that should be in other forums.
Well, that is my 2 cents worth.
I agree with onlinegs, I know you get to see the Terms and Conditions when you sign up, but obviously it isn't working. A forum rules thread or link or annoncement would help i reckon.
And anyway, there's no reason not to do it...
One of the reasons we (swish mods) don't travel these parts is because.
Our main goal has always been helpng others with swish.
Before I was a mod at fk I was a mod and still am at swishspot and wow-factor. Heck look at Cadence
He's done a million tutes, is constantly helping others via email requests is a mod at 4ums, wow-factor, total impact and his new forum as well as moderating here.
And the other thing is to be honest it's just plain easier.
When people come to swish help they want answers there's a lot of members there who make it easy by having them and contributing back. When I first moderated at another forum
I was the only answer provider. We'd get a member ask 3 questions never return never reply. The Swish Help forum is great because of it's members. They come after they get swish and need an answer. Other members treat them with respect even if they've heard the same question a million times. they come back with another and so on. They like the atmosphere and contribute. When I go to the forum I read the topic and check the last person who replied. I know all the regulars and I know I don't have to follow behind them.
I still do just to read what's there. And if I gain some knowledge along the way I remember who I got it from and credit them. It's really a win win situation.
I look at like this I have the status of moderating at the easiest forum.
As for CL mod's I think you'll be seeing more share the load
from mods at other forums.
Moderating CL is tough I give credit to anyone who does or has.
< ? forms above head>
What is a CL mod?
oops, I see "Coffee Lounge"
coffee lounge mod
