MODERATORS AND ALL THAT GOES WITH IT
By: JJJ-thebanisher (And all of his identitys)
The idea of Moderators was first brought up semi-publicly by none other then myself. The original idea was to have certain members who would volunteer or even audition to become a half-admin type member. These "Half-Admins" would be called Mods or Moderators for long. The jobs of a moderator are long debated and still arnt perfected but things have certainly changed. The main jobs of a Moderator would be: Content advisory in the forums whenever possible, for instance.
BillyJoMan: Hey I wanna make this pro pokemon game, I need ideas!!! Anyone?!
GaryGoJee: SHUT THE F UP MAN, YOUR AN IDIOT!!!
ModmanJJJ: Post Deleted, Gary, your points are going down now!
*JJJ deletes Garys post and deducts a fee of 10 MAG points for Gary". The moderator could also deduct mroe for more serious actions or actions that have been already commited by the user. So if Gary did it again then he would lose 20 points or more.
The second Duty of the Moderator would be featuring games. If a Moderator happens to be strolling through the game lsit (Which has over 100 games!!! GO MAG!) and notices: WOW its this new spanking pokemon game by BillyJoeMan. The moderator plays it, rates it and discusses featureing it with a full admin, such as the amamzing one and only Alexp! However a Moderator could NOT! feature one of his own games. And would lose moderatorhood for doing a bad job on any duty.
The third Duty of a Moderator would be to be fair to all members. A moderator should NOT hold grudges, that is certain. Once someone has commited a MAGCRIME and taken the punishment, he or she is still a user and should not need further abusing.
To prevent full-of-themselves mods, only the top (PLACE NUMBER HERE) members are moderators. Let the judge be the points, amen. Moderators can shift and turn and even be banished by the Amazing one and only Alexp.
Moderators should ALWAYS be active members of the community, whether its playing games and rating them and leaving helpfull comments or helping rookies on the forums, PARTICIPATION MATTERS!
Moderators could hunt out innapropraite material and after consulting the Amazing one and only Alexp, could delete it, this would help community standings and hey the less innapropriate games the better the sites reputation. And I am dedicated to this sites reputation.
Moderators could seek out and destroy nasty, brutal, offensive, sexual and annoying comments and delete them.
Spamming or moving posts to there appropriate forums would never be an issue with Moderators.
And so, as you can see WE NEED MODERATORS.
