Term Limits For Moderators

[Gvac]

While I think the majority of the moderators here at RonFez.net do a wonderful job, it seems a bit unfair that they, like the Supreme Court, enjoy appointment for life status. It creates the very real possibility that this site becomes more about their personal opinions and beliefs and not those of the fans, as they can edit and ban as they choose.

A one year modship seems fair, and then every January we can be greeted with an entirely new "staff." I think it would be OK for a member to serve as a moderator more than once, but just not consecutive terms. It would also be cool to give some long time members and top contributors to this site a chance at watching over the place.

I think the decision of which posters will be granted moderator status should lie solely with the Admins, as an election would clog the message board with ridiculous polls and infighting.

Agree?

Disagree?

(P.S. - I believe in term limits for EVERYTHING, from message board moderators to local mayors to congressman and senators.)

[underdog]

You're the worst board character ever.

[Don Stugots]

i read the post twice, the first time i disagreed, the 2nd I agreed. at the end of the day, Mikeyboy and Justjon and Pantera will do whatever they want. its their yard and we just play in it. i wouldn't mind seeing some new blood in there though.

[drjoek]

If nominated I will run, if elected I will serve. I feel my record speaks for itself. drjoek'09

So your time away from the board was a term limit thing? :bye:

[IMSlacker]

Are there really that many people who want to be moderators? Seems like a hassle. Mod-quoting would be fun though.

Thanks buddy.

I thought it was a well thought out, good idea, but as usual it will deteriorate into a thread of nonsense and attacks against me.

Oh well, I guess that's RonFez.net for ya.

Under the current leadership anyway.

Hamilton County is exempt....Its inside So??????? I deal with it every day...:bye:

no problem. i think another plus would be to give a better understanding as to what the mods do and have to put up with on a daily basis. I think tub has aged a bit since getting his button.

[MisterSmith]

Not a bad idea Gvac, and well put. And I am with Stugots in that giving new people a run at moderating might provide some much needed insight.

It may not happen, but thanks for caring enough to bring it up.

Thank you very much, sir. You're one of the guys who "gets it" and someone I think would be a great choice for a mod.

Again, this is not an attack on the current mods or a desire on my part to see them "demoted."

Quite the opposite.

Sometimes it's good to see how the other half lives.

I was a moderator for quite some time back in the day and enjoyed my return to being a regular poster immensely.

[drjoek]

Who actually are the mods beyond tub reilly mikeyboy jjon and pantera? Are there others?

[drjoek]

I know there are forum mods for forums but they don't have the same powers right?

JustJon, mikeyboy, and Pantera are the administrators of the site. The moderators are reillyluck, Hottub, A.J., Fallon, Alice S. Fuzzybutt, and TheMojoPin.

There are also a dozen or so 'sub-mods' which is ridiculous in itself.

what rights do the 'mods' have that the 'sub-mods' do not

do they just have rights in their forum?

[MisterSmith]

That's pretty much it; Mods can span the entire site but Forum Mods only have authority in their own forum.

Of course the Admins have overarching authority over everybody.

just out of curiosity I would like to see what the mods responsibilities are

[Marc with a c]

eli and tall james should be for real mods. Alice is barely around, and hottub sucks at mod quotes, and locks threads to often.

[Don Stugots]

i agree with all of that.

[Drunky McBetidont]

fuck the mods. i always preferred the rockers. scooters are for nerds

[EliSnow]

And we sub mods cant do quotes or anything of that nature. Basically we are like the National Guard during peace time.

We can give out "infractions" for certain things like spamming, attacking others, and of course "sig pic" violations.

We also can add 2 tags to each thread.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

can i be a mod

[Gvac]

I think the decision of which posters will be granted moderator status should lie solely with the Admins, as an election would clog the message board with ridiculous polls and infighting.

Ditto for campaigning.

[Foster]

since so many former FBA members have joined maybe one of them should be made a mod.

even if a mod because lazy and absent, it is always an unnecessary shitstorm to de-mod people...just leave it be. If the board needs more mods, than make more. its no big deal

Totally missing the point. It's not "de-modding" anyone...it's a term limit.

And adding more solves nothing.

maybe not just mods
but posters should be term-limited too

say at around 15,000 posts

I for one, wouldn't want the job. Besides the annoying spam, I've had no problems with anything here. Of course, I flee conflict and debates, so I wouldn't would I?:happy:

[Fez4PrezN2008]

Mods have to loose a little of their funny since they have serious things to attend to so that would put me into way negative funny territory.


However, we do need a hayseed mod to balance the administration out, whadda ya think?

Half of those people don't even post on a daily or weekly basis. Like the real people that govern most mods come to power then lose touch with there constituents.

[Devo37]

even if there were term limits, the mods would just go to the City Council and have them overturned when their term was up. they're power-mad elitists, i tell ya!

http://www.anecdotoff.com/images/stories/gallery/20070604/hell-freezes-over.jpg

No. I just find this topic somewhat... vague. Although it's very well-written and thought out, I think it's intention falls well short of the mark.

I'm a long time user here. I've never seen people arbitrarily edited and/or banned because of a mod's personal opinions. The only person who has been banned because of a completely bullshit reason recently is... me.

And honestly, we had our discussion about my banning, and it's "whatever".

The sad part is, I won't be able to fully chime in with my opinion without Gvac thinking I'm personally attacking him. My point is, is that the only person who should take issue with the mods or the admins is me because of what happened over the Phillies thing, and you know what? 6 weeks later, I couldn't care less. The place runs fine, it runs better than a lot of other boards, and it's run pretty well for the past 6 years, so I fail to see the problem.

I'm trying to figure out why if something isn't broke, why a person would attempt to fix it, other than for self-aggrandizing issues.

[Gvac]

First off, I have absolutely no desire to moderate. Secondly, I've never ascribed to the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" school of thought.

Look where that kind of thinking got the American car companies.

It's merely a logical suggestion for improving the site.

[Nothing Sound]

It creates the very real possibility that this site becomes more about their personal opinions and beliefs and not those of the fans, as they can edit and ban as they choose.

It would also be cool to give some long time members and top contributors to this site a chance at watching over the place.

[foodcourtdruide]

GVAC, as a friend, I must say the term limit idea will not work. It's not like there is a large pool of potential mods to choose from. Mods have to spend several hours a day monitoring the site and not many people on here can dedicate that time. I feel like I spend a lot of time posting and lurking on here, but I could not possibly dedicate set amounts of time to to being a mod. I think most people are likely in the same position. If the admins find a good mod that has been shown to dedicate a lot of time on here, then I think they should stick with them.

I skimmed through this thread, so I apologize if this question has already been answered, but has a specific incident made this come up?

[A.J.]

Huh?

I really don't care if we add or subtract mods

And nobody has any "power."

It's a message board where the staff moderates in their spare time for nothing. It's more an anoyance than anything else, which couldn't be more clear than based on the sheer number of people who refuse a request to become a mod or have quit being one over the years. It's not like we haven't tried to change up the staff drastically in the last couple years...it's that most of the people we've asked don't want the job.

Is it because of my ability to turn a blind eye to certain things and buying beer for some of the younger posters?

[spot]

I agree whole-heartedly..they are both excellent mods.

[TheMojoPin]

Tall James would have been a mod many moons ago if he didn't think he was too good for us.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

my offer to be a mod wont be around forever

take it while you can

[Sinestro]

What are you the Yankees???

[Tall_James]

True dat. Plus we didn't have the dental plan back then.

[drjoek]

The amount of patients I've gotten has filled my appointment book

[Tall_James]

I agree whole-heartedly..they are both excellent mods.

Didn't you realize that Eli is just another one of my many board characters?

[Gvac]

I got an amazing amount of positive feedback on this idea today.

Just sayin'.

[spot]

I thought he was Grey Hoodie.

[Tall_James]

I thought he was Grey Hoodie.

Believe it or not. I was him too. Actually, the alternate Grey Hoodie spelled "Gray Hoodie".

I created that persona to undermine him. I wasn't a mod then so it wasn't a sanctioned action.

[spot]

Perhaps you're all of us, and there is no board.

[mikeyboy]

I got an amazing amount of positive feedback on this idea today.

Just sayin'.

Crazed and Spandy don't get a say in the matter.

[Gvac]

Ha!

Spandy stole the show and you know it!

[mikeyboy]

He's a very strange man.

[Gvac]

Strange...or incredibly common?

[RhinoinMN]

I think your idea is gold Gvac. It would be fun to see how different people would handle things.

It reminds me of Student council.

[Gvac]

Muchas gracias, Rhino.

But if you ban me when you become a mod I'll hunt you down like a dog in the street!

[Gvac]

I am very sorry if I gave anybody's feelings a boo boo by asking if you agreed with term limits or not.

I guess you're all very very very sensitive people.

At least that's what the almighty Hottub says.

This seemed to be a rather nice, civil discussion.

Did you read the right thread?

[Gvac]

This seemed to be a rather nice, civil discussion.

Did you read the right thread?

Read thru it.

You'll see the cry babies projecting their negativity on to me.

Oh, and I dig the tags. :wacko:

[TheMojoPin]

It ultimately seems like if someone disagrees with you, they're doing all kinds of negative things but "debating" the issue, which is a little confusing. A debate entails people who agree or disagree over an issue...not everyone is going to agree with you if that's what you want.

[Gvac]

I'm trying to figure out why if something isn't broke, why a person would attempt to fix it, other than for self-aggrandizing issues.

Disagree

That's one of the dumbest things I've heard yet.

There is no case.
It's fucking stupid.

Case closed.

That you enjoy them tending to your fits of board exile?

I don't miss these threads


Here's a few.

And the tags at the bottom really add to the feel of impartiality.

[TheMojoPin]

Here's a few.

And the tags at the bottom really add to the feel of impartiality.

Who said anything about impartiality? You're making up unrealistic and absurd standards that aren't applicable and also ignoring any of the thought out responses to the idea just so you can play the victim. I'm not sure why you assume anyone who disagrees with you or your ideas or your recent patterns of posting here need to be singled out like they did something "wrong" or that their opinions don't stack up with yours.

Nobody HAS to do anything in regards to any of your ideas or discussions.

[Gvac]

Never said anyone HAD to...just that they have preconceived notions about threads of mine.

I could give a fuck less, except when a moderator acts like judge, jury and executioner.

[TheMojoPin]

I could give a fuck less, except when a moderator acts like judge, jury and executioner.

For all intents and purposes, that's what a moderator of any message board is. They see what happens, they have to make a personal judgement call as to what went down and then typically make another judgement call as to what should be done, if anything.

I'm not sure what you think a moderator of a private realtime public forum is supposed to do otherwise.

Basically they shouldn't personally attack someone that opens up a debate. That's all I'm saying.

And honestly, I don't want to discuss it any further.

It's all so silly.

This place is supposed to be fun and maybe make you think once in awhile, just like the show it's named after.


Too bad it's more about the mods and admins that run it instead of the men whose names are on the top of the page.

Oh well, as long as those advertising dollars roll in I guess that's all that matters.


Although, according to the ticker on the home page (http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/ronfez.net), popularity is waning here so I don't know how much longer the cash will flow in.

[TheMojoPin]

Explain to me how anything here is "about" me moreso than any other poster.

And don't try and flip this and act like WE'RE the ones stomping on "fun" with thread after thread of confrontational topics designed to start arguments and allow you to play the martyr.

Now YOU'RE reading intent into my posts?

Come on, Mojo.

I really thought you were better than that.

You have a misconception that anyone is getting a paycheck from this site. It simply isn't true.

[Gvac]

You have a misconception that anyone is getting a paycheck from this site. It simply isn't true.

Never said they were.

I merely implied that as long as the place makes enough money to keep it afloat the people who run the place don't care about the content.

[mikeyboy]

So we would only care if it was losing money and we couldn't pay the server bills? Odd.

[Gvac]

No. Didn't say that either.

CAREFULLY RE-READ what I read.

[Gvac]

You're twisting statements, Mr. Lawyer. I basically said "all apples are fruits."

You're accusing me of saying "All fruits are apples."

Won't work.

[jauble]

I bet this was a comfortable thanksgiving show.

[TheMojoPin]

Et tu?

Now YOU'RE reading intent into my posts?

Come on, Mojo.

I really thought you were better than that.

Apparently I'm not. You have no problem talking about "the staff" or "the mods," both of which obviously include me, in complete and total generalizations. Am I to just assume you mean everyone but me?

[Drunky McBetidont]

You're twisting statements, Mr. Lawyer. I basically said "all apples are fruits."

You're accusing me of saying "All fruits are apples."

Won't work.

that is the worst thing you could say about an apple.

[Gvac]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!

Nice.

[TheMojoPin]

OK, that's fucking weird. My reply was oriignally the first post at the top of this page, and betidont's apple post was the last post on the page before. Now they're flip-flopped.

[EliSnow]

And the tags at the bottom really add to the feel of impartiality.

I'll admit that I added the "troublemaker" tag. I did it less because I think you're starting trouble with this thread than to play up the bit that the mods are threatened by this thread.

[Hottub]

This thread should be locked and the thread starter should be banned.

[boosterp]

Ug, this thread is still going?

[GvacMobile]

This thread should be locked and the thread starter should be banned.

Trying to start round 2?

[Don Stugots]

When I get home I will add tags that are more unbiased.

[RhinoinMN]

when you get home you're gonna batch, fall asleep and forget you even wrote this.

its like she was watching me.

[Gvac]

As 2008 winds down, I'd like to thank our current team of mods for all their hard work and sacrifice over the past several years. You will forever be etched in history as the last staff to enjoy years and years of modship.

This January we will welcome and accept the new team, until they prove themselves unworthy.

Thanks again guys!

Hope you enjoyed it!

[Bossanova]

I only see one way to make this board come back to normal. Bossanova, Gvac, Snoogans, and spoon need to be mods

[reillyluck]

Change is good!

What's that old saying? "Moderators, like diapers, should be changed often, and for the same reason."

[reillyluck]

ive changed my mind about today.

[Hottub]

me too.

[Don Stugots]

ditto.

[Gvac]

Hey!!!

You've got to rearrange
Who you are and what you're gonna be

Of course not. The staff bathroom would be destroyed.
Clogged toilet, backhair and jizz all over the shower.
And nobody's lunch would be safe in the fridge.

[Don Stugots]

if they think i am a 2nd handed mod, they are mistaken. i am in charge of my own little inland in this galaxy.

exxxactly, my friend. they dont care about your forum. they want you out!! dont you see??? people like Gvac who are trying to shut you down!!

i mean, after reading gvacs posts lately, he is even trying to steal Kathleens blog spot. and that aint right.

[EliSnow]

I agree. I will resign on February 30.

[Yerdaddy]

Didn't there used to be like 4 or 5 mods? Now they seem to be breeding like Bangladeshis. I think you need to be voting on sperm limits for mods.

Sperm is not involved in the creation of new mods. The scientific term for the creation of new mods is call motosis.

[Gvac]

Look at how beautifully the United States of America has transitioned from one President, Cabinet, and political party to another.

Do we really think RonFez.net would be thrown into utter chaos with a similar change?

Now that Tall_James and EliSnow have been "promoted" to "real" mods, I think it's time for some good old fashioned house cleaning.

Out with the old, in with the new!

And if you think it's a crazy idea, check out the moderator vote off thread. The first ones to go were the stale, been-here-too-long baby sitters.

Let's stir it up, baby! If anything needs a stimulus package it's this place!

Sometimes change isn't always good. Keep the modship or however they go about choosing mods the way it is.

The people that want or calling out to be a mod just want the alleged power that comes with being a mod. But with great power comes great responsibility and other menial tasks. Fuck the Guardians of Oa and their rules and tasks, Sinestro ain't listening to no one. I mean being a mod isn't all it's cracked up to be and no matter what they do, they won't be able to please everyone or this would be one boring think alike board. Thank goodness it is what it is. It's not perfect but who said it had top be? Think about it.

My issue is usually less about who, but how many. If you fix the second part, you also correct the first part.

[Gvac]

Couldn't disagree more.

Change is ALWAYS good when it comes to authoritative figures; even ones as menial as message board moderators.

With your thinking we'd still have Bush as our President, and sports coaches and managers would have jobs for life.

Only the Supreme Court Justices get that treatment, and I disagree with that too.

[Sinestro]

Change is ALWAYS good when it comes to authoritative figures; even ones as menial as message board moderators. Yeah toppling Saddam really helped us. He was our one time friend of the U.S.

With your thinking we'd still have Bush as our President, and sports coaches and managers would have jobs for life. So in a sense you prefer New Coke over the original coke. Clear Pepsi over the regular Pepsi. See what I did there, I warped your original statement of change is always good and applied it to something else that I percieved your thought would be with how you think about change.

Only the Supreme Court Justices get that treatment, and I disagree with that too. Having random girlfriends instead of a stable relationship is better? But you like change right.

I agree to disagree. I'm sure if there were mod limits you would probably be able to complain about something: It's just becoming a popular contest, not about the issues. You lost your integrity to become a mod, they didn't win cuz they don't go to enough board events for others to know them or hear their message. blah blah blah.

I'm all for a revolution but stabilizing the mess afterwards that's a different story.

I guess you don't read so good, huh?

I don't view my soft drinks or women as authoritative figures, but hey...whatever you're into!

I read it correctly. I'm putting a slant on it like how you seem to do around here when you post about stuff you don't agree with.

[Gvac]

No, you changed the original premise of my argument.

I spoke of apples and you equated it with oranges.

And why is it that when someone offers a different point of view or a suggestion for improvement you view it as a complaint?

[TheMojoPin]

I wish being a moderator of an internet message board meant that I was an authoritative figure instead of being a moderator on an internet message board.

*Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

[Sinestro]

There are 2 sides to every story. You can't look at the Ying without the Yang, the good without the bad. I'm not looking at your view point as a compliant. I'm discussing the other side of the issue. But the way things are around here, people take offense to offering another view or see it as "attacking" them. But if you think I'm viewing your suggestion as a COMPLAINT maybe I am. (see what I did there?) but I'm not, we're talking and discussing about the issues. Like a debate.

See moderators get no respect.
