View Full Version : Should we let Dave dictate our mods?

Dave is on the radio saying how mods need to be changed on this board and the current mods need to be fired.

Should he dictate the policy here like he is trying to do or should we remain independent of his influences?

I was going to start this thread and im kinda pissed I was beat to it, but here's what I was gonna say. I think Dave has a point here, why not cycle people out? A little change could be good for this board. Since a lot of members of the show feel like we're losing some great board members maybe it's time for us to adapt. Darwinism at its best here, either we adapt or we face extinction.

I'm wondering why Dave named - of all people - Alkey and Silera to be mods here, considering that they haven't posted that much here since the Christmas Massacre of 2006.

Does Sheepy's modship work like a Senator's seat, that if he dies, I get to take it over?

i dont think this thread should be about "hey lets now consider me for mod" whether you say it in jest or not. i think dave brought up a valid point, we should really get new faces into modship. it would give this place a new image to go along with the new layout.

In recent events, RonFez.net has added new moderators. Jpmnick, TallJames, AngelAmy, etc. the moderation of the board has nothing to do with how people are behaving lately. HHH, i wasnt meaning that towards your post. just saying in general.

people arent leaving the board or going through this hate time because of moderation I honestly believe its because A LOT of members lately are joke whoring. what i mean is the constant derailing of threads. Good conversations are becoming Hacky. New Members are being scared away because "regulars" dont give them a chance.

One of the greatest posters on this board and i dont need to mention his name isnt around because of this. Its pretty sad.

and i totally agree with you.......so heres what i think might help. the mods get together and kind of elect a new group to succeed most of the mods. these people are chosen based on their perceived ability to prevent things like having great members leave. no more hacky bullshit, iron fist ruling type shit. maybe it'll be good for us as a board. this is the only message board I know, and somehow ive grown to love it. i want to see it thrive. ive been here for 6 years, ive seen the ups and downs. i want to go back up.

You think so? It's the NSFW and sig pic regulations that keep this place classy. It's nicer to go to a site named Ron and Fez as opposed to going to a place with AIDS in the title or references to whacking your bag. Ron and Fez has always been the best of the bunch because it's not out of control and seedy.

Alkey and Silera have been very paltalky for at least a year.

And when did you and Sheepy get married? Secret ceremony in Vermont?

And he was a former mod, I'd like to point out. Alternatively, Amy, Nick, Stugots, Tall James and Sheepy have all gotten some mod action in the last 6 months. Amy within the last month or so.

maybe Dave was saying that, but thats not what I'm saying. I'm just saying maybe its time to get some fresh faces in there and give the board a new image.

The thing is that I think Dave was talking about "celebrity mods" -- i.e. making a people mods because they are known on the show or are high profile on message boards. Jon and I don't agree with this, and we don't think it actually works to bring in traffic. First and foremost, we feel our mods need to be active on the site and we think they need to be good at moderating the board. (Full disclosure: yes we do have Paul O, J-Dubs, CT and Jivin as moderators, but they are only mods of the forums devoted to their shows/interests, and that was, more an attempt to expand the site than anything else). STI has adopted a different position on this, and it's certainly their right to do do. Honestly, do you think about who the mods are on a board when you decide to post there? It's the overall tone and quality of the core membership itself that makes a person decide that they want to post on your site.

People leave and go to a new board all the time. That's a good thing. It means that they are more likely to find a place where they are most comfortable. The thing is that we've had some high profile members go elsewhere, so it seems like we're hemmorhaging members. I think we are in a transition phase though, so we will continue to change.

as a joke whore, i disagree. joke whoring has not driven people away nearly as much as the war on joke whoring. trying to reign in the jokes in order to make a thread to follow a strained, forced direction, makes a lot of threads uninteresting.

I have to say I somewhat miss out on some of the inside shiite.I DO enjoy real topical discussions,also I admit to the ocassional "derailment" of threadology.I don't however find this board to be as mean-spirited or just plain personally abusive as a lot of what I've seen on similar sites.for me personally,I think everyone I've interphaced with has been more than helpful,decent(add yer own positive adjective here) I very much appreciate the even-keeled treatment I've received by the mods,admins & other members of RF.Net. I'd hate to see those in charge of this site bow to ANY pressure to fix what isn't broken.Sincerely,Wil

Dave posts at FBA and enjoys paltalk. Why doesn't he take his suggestions up with them? For all the talk on the show about message boards the only one that Ron and Fez reference (beyond LOTD at wackbag) is this one. Thats good enough for me

Great point. I'm new to this message board (and all boards in general) and have no idea who the mods are, what their role is other than enforcing agreed upon guidelines, and what relevance they have to the success or failure of a board. Threads are started by individual members and similar to the 'free market economy' you can choose where and what to post based upon what areas/threads interest you. Pretty simple.

and don't forget the new hot mod on the block, AMY!

I think people get pissed at the mods when they feel their point gets shit on. they need someone to take it out on. i have been called out a few times in my short tenure as a mod by people who thought i was picking on them or invalidating their point. I think all of the mods just try and keep the topics from getting personal. really when you look at what is posted here, no mods are trying to take away from your creative freedom or ability to post whatever you want about the show, positive or negative. but at the same time, we can not have threads that after 10 posts go into name calling and personal attacks.

i think it is easy for the newer sites to have less mod problems for a few reasons, one there are less members, and less posts. also the people who post at the smaller boards tend to know each other better. also, there are less strained relationships from past board drama's. we have some members on here for 6+ years who have LONG histories together. that in itself makes this board unique, and in my opinion, slightly more difficult to moderate without hurting feelings and making people think you are taking sides.

also, since we have been here so long, and a lot of our members get mentions on the show, the newbies come here and try to suck up to certain board members to get in their good graces, which in turn creates some problems.

all in all, i think the admins, mods, and forum mods do a great job. but i am biased, but i am also a mod, so fuck off.

and don't forget the new hot mod on the block, AMY!

I think people get pissed at the mods when they feel their point gets shit on. they need someone to take it out on. i have been called out a few times in my short tenure as a mod by people who thought i was picking on them or invalidating their point. I think all of the mods just try and keep the topics from getting personal. really when you look at what is posted here, no mods are trying to take away from your creative freedom or ability to post whatever you want about the show, positive or negative. but at the same time, we can not have threads that after 10 posts go into name calling and personal attacks.

i think it is easy for the newer sites to have less mod problems for a few reasons, one there are less members, and less posts. also the people who post at the smaller boards tend to know each other better. also, there are less strained relationships from past board drama's. we have some members on here for 6+ years who have LONG histories together. that in itself makes this board unique, and in my opinion, slightly more difficult to moderate without hurting feelings and making people think you are taking sides.

also, since we have been here so long, and a lot of our members get mentions on the show, the newbies come here and try to suck up to certain board members to get in their good graces, which in turn creates some problems.

all in all, i think the admins, mods, and forum mods do a great job. but i am biased, but i am also a mod, so fuck off.


and here folk is true dedication to moderating. This guy just got married on saturday and is still doing his part. you phucking rock, Nick!!

The thing is that I think Dave was talking about "celebrity mods" -- i.e. making a people mods because they are known on the show or are high profile on message boards. Jon and I don't agree with this, and we don't think it actually works to bring in traffic. First and foremost, we feel our mods need to be active on the site and we think they need to be good at moderating the board. (Full disclosure: yes we do have Paul O, J-Dubs, CT and Jivin as moderators, but they are only mods of the forums devoted to their shows/interests, and that was, more an attempt to expand the site than anything else). STI has adopted a different position on this, and it's certainly their right to do do. Honestly, do you think about who the mods are on a board when you decide to post there? It's the overall tone and quality of the core membership itself that makes a person decide that they want to post on your site.

People leave and go to a new board all the time. That's a good thing. It means that they are more likely to find a place where they are most comfortable. The thing is that we've had some high profile members go elsewhere, so it seems like we're hemmorhaging members. I think we are in a transition phase though, so we will continue to change.

yea i hear ya man, and im certainly not suggesting "celebrity mods" (whomever that may be) i was simply suggesting a change of pace. maybe youre correct in the fact that since we've lost a few high profile members it may seem as if the board is losing more then it actually is. I just hope losing those long time members is them simply feeling more comfortable elsewhere rather then utter disgust with this boards current state. like i said before, ive seen this place have its peaks and valleys so i know one day it will go back up. i just hope its sooner rather then later cause i feel like the board is in a little funk right now.

I would say this, though. Its kind of a joke that there are forums with Mods who you never see around here anymore. If someone moves on, get a regular to replace them. I know Mikeyboy will say "All the mods chip in to all forums" but if someone doesn't even post here much anymore, its still should be given to someone who does.

as a joke whore, i disagree. joke whoring has not driven people away nearly as much as the war on joke whoring. trying to reign in the jokes in order to make a thread to follow a strained, forced direction, makes a lot of threads uninteresting.

for the record, i'll be dropping my new "war on joke whoring" sigpic by the end of the day.
my "fred thompson of the mod race" sigpic will drop later this week.

I agree 100% with the Sinner! Seriously people, this is THE board no matter how big the membership of the other boards become. O and A have always attracted a bigger audience and I love their show, but I'm with Jezo in that this board also isn't named after an Aids ref/joke or someone's sack. It quite simply the original and the classy board. Yet I don't think we need to police, change mods or become thread nazi's due to some rips on it. Sure I think we could use a mod or two with a different feel that an Alkey or Snoogans would bring, but that's my call and I don't run this place. I respect the job JJ, MB the current and past mods have done even when being banned. Like someone else here said it really is a thankless job and I don't envy some of the positions they get put in (sometimes by me!). But to say people are quitting bc the board is sarcastic, caustic or ball-busting isn't accurate either. No matter what your approach someone won't like it. So my view is much like MB's in that if they leave, it wasn't for them. Barring personal threats or simple overt arrogant douche bag tactics, all should be allowed to post away. A mod shuffle or rules influx will never be the answer. Yet I still think I should be an anti-mod with only power over mods!!! :innocent: I'm looking at you Fallon you prick!

Like a lot of us he's just taking a breather as he starts his new job and passes some useless dying organs from his body. Last I spoke to him he just seemed a little bored of it and needed his time. So if anything, create a little excitement bc all I know is that some of the most memorable events are the crazy ones that everyone rips apart.

as entertaining as it might be, its not cool here.

Lame, you mean?

I don't understand why message boards get so serious about themselves. We post here to talk about immature comedy and yet we are supposed to conduct ourselves like we are in parliament.

It's fucking stupid if you ask me, but whatever blows up your skirt I guess.

eh, i guess to each their own. i don't enjoy them and it divides the community. people start might start censoring their posts because they don't want some douchebag attacking everything they post.

I'd say toughen up or ignore the post. It's tough to keep an argument going when no one responds.

There is also no better retort a lot of times than no retort. But, then again you can always count on someone coming to the "aid" of the person. Let's just post more hands claps and hugs all day. uuck.

I agree ya on this one, but I have found myself arguing with people on the boards, esp when perry made those redic comments about the beniot family. I dunno, i think to read other posts on certain threads is interesting other peoples points of view, life experiences ect.... adds to the board and its threads.

I guess people shouldnt take message boards so seriously. Its all fun in my opinion, but I dont know much, im just an ambulance driver

We expect people by and large to act like they do in normal social situations and generally act like decent human beings who can talk to other people without right away insulting them or starting up an argument...y'know, how people typically talk when they can't hide behind a keyboard.

If I were hanging out with you people in a bar, I would act the exact same way. My friends and I are constantly bashing each other for a laugh. And if we disagree we can debate it AND insult each other.

I am insulted that you'd insinuate I HIDE behind a keyboard. I have nothing to hide. I don't really give a crap.

Now if we were to have the same conversation in the workplace, I'd expect the same bullshit rules you women like to inflict upon us. Hell I'm currently on HR probation because some fun inhibiting hole overheard me tell a buddy "I don't give a fuck" at work.

I don't mind seeing battles on the boards, but only if they're clever and for a good reason, ignore them if you don't like them.

You can't say the hiding behind the keyboard mentality ain't true. Nobody would say the shit in person they say on message boards.

For example do you think that if you said what your mod quote says you said to a total stanger like hottub that wouldn't result in fistacuffs in a bar? where on the net it's merely a banning or a emotionly painfull PM scolding. Two different worlds, that's why it's tough to draw the fine line as a moderator.

I vote for myself as a new MOD or even that colorful Captain America who was railroaded off the board due to his conservative, america first posts and disagreements with flaming libs here....

Seriously, the regulars who chop up new guys through a grinder the first time they post, is driving people away...why? well, if the new guy decides to defend his/herself and holds a grudge to the original regular who was an ahole, that carries over to every other thread between the two in perpetuity...

If I was arguing with someone and some other random guy got up in my face out of nowhere you bet I'd say something just like that. If they feel the need to throw, that's them and whatever. Won't be the first or last fight I've been in.

I'm not a bad guy, I just don't take any shit. Typically I'm happy go lucky. But attack me then get ready to be attacked back. Whether it be verbal or physical.

Hottub is a bad example. Because fighting with Hottub is like fighting with the bartender, who can call the bouncers and have you tossed if you get out of hand.

But you can't just assume that everyone here is like your circle of buddies at a bar. It's more like meeting a bunch of people you don't know or barely know and dealing with them that way. We're not telling people not to joke or have a good time or bust each other's balls, but you seem to value and prefer being able to insult and attack other people over any other form of discussion here. That type of interaction has never been the priority here and never will be.

And yes, to a degree, we are acting people to post "profesisonally" so as many people as possible feel welcome and will post or even just lurk here. Obviously, it's not a perfect system, but we feel it's better than some kind of free-for-all where only an insulated "inner circle" sticks around and attacks anyone and everyone that shows up.

Totally untrue. I have posted sparingly here. Then I posted about Wb out of anger. Then I was insulted and acted accordingly.

Since then it's been nothing but defensive boring posts from me.

My final point, I think people should have the right to attack back as vehemently as they desire if someone else starts shit. If they can't take it, they shouldn't have started it.

Just the opinion of one man.

It's painful for you to read my posts yet, you used the word cause for because and didn't even have the common courtesy to type it like 'cause.

So if you were talking/arguing with someone at a bar and some random guy you didn't know came up and interrupted and called you out what would you do? Nothing? Sounds like a pussy to me.

I agree 100% with the Sinner! Seriously people, this is THE board no matter how big the membership of the other boards become. O and A have always attracted a bigger audience and I love their show, but I'm with Jezo in that this board also isn't named after an Aids ref/joke or someone's sack. It quite simply the original and the classy board. Yet I don't think we need to police, change mods or become thread nazi's due to some rips on it. Sure I think we could use a mod or two with a different feel that an Alkey or Snoogans would bring, but that's my call and I don't run this place. I respect the job JJ, MB the current and past mods have done even when being banned. Like someone else here said it really is a thankless job and I don't envy some of the positions they get put in (sometimes by me!). But to say people are quitting bc the board is sarcastic, caustic or ball-busting isn't accurate either. No matter what your approach someone won't like it. So my view is much like MB's in that if they leave, it wasn't for them. Barring personal threats or simple overt arrogant douche bag tactics, all should be allowed to post away. A mod shuffle or rules influx will never be the answer. Yet I still think I should be an anti-mod with only power over mods!!! :innocent: I'm looking at you Fallon you prick!
