I can't beleive this is being overlooked.

George Spellwin has been running this site for yrs. You have been a member for one month. You may be suprised to find that many members have faith in the way that GS runs things around here, and that he has his reasons!!

Hey there bigguns, are you saying that my concern should be overlooked? It seems to me that even though the site has been running for years time evolves bro and so does the websites. I am not knocking the way he runs his site there bigguy so step off of that. I am making a suggestion, a considerate suggestion that it seems other people are having troubles with too, including the mods. If your fine and dandy being another average poster and civilian by all means do so but please dont get in the way of people who have high expectations for a ever evolving community.

FYI: what I meant by overlooked was that I don't have more comments.

I just notice that you keep tirelessly bumping and bumping this thread...GS doesnt read every post, so if you want his attention, you are going to have to put his name in the title, not just keep bumping and bumping a thread because you arnt getting the response that YOU WANT..

just my .02

and im not mad at ya, just making an observation....

A lot of variable depend on what is considered a "vet" or MOD material. Should it be # of posts?, Should it be Karma? Should it be length of time as a registered user? Should they be Plat?

What my opinion of good mod criteria may not match up to what everyone else thinks.
Mr.X does a top notch job and so does Macro...Quad is a dang good bro, he has just not had much time lately...but he is coming back nicely...ANYWAY,
I do agree that there should be more mods, but I also believe that there should be an Automatic PM notification of a thread deletion to the thread starter..It could be a generic format whereas the mod would have to type in who moved it and a brief reason...That may eliminate some of the
What happened to my thread" Posts.
Just my $2 worth (inflation)

Extremely good $2 I might add. This again would could down on the "Where did my thread go" questions. I agree with you who heartedly. So let me ask you this. How do I get George's attention to this if I can't change the title of the thread. Bigguns raised a good question.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is very true, that is why I spoke of the recruiting techniques above as well. Having more mods won't eliminate the redundant questions no but it will sure allow for more eyes to view, delete, move and warn people. There are no consequeces on this board. Hell there aren't even enough mods to warn everyone who makes mistakes.

Also, to Swordfish. Mods don't have to know everything about AAS. This is what seasoned Vets are for, not MODS. They should be appointed as Board Security, not Information Gathering. This is where a Ranking system would play a great role. We all know the Karma thing is bullshit as well as the posts. No one knows who to go to. MODS should be looking out for the best interest in the Board and it's members not worried about what information they can provide. This my friend is would be an extra if you could find them that actually do know their shit. But for all itents and purposes I am speaking of BOARD SECURITY and WELL BEING.




Hope I'm not rambling.

I see your point now - well put

The only way to stop it is to have a rules that you have to read before you can post and then a quiz that you have to take and pass showing you read the rules.

Seriously though, I've been here 6 years. It's ALWAYS been like this. ALWAYS. And it's never going to change. In fact, it will likely get worse. The internet has people getting used to an immediate answer to their questions and then they blow. Especially now with all the "support" discussion boards. "Hey I got a 293hrx and I can't get it sync with my palm. Anyone else have this problems" The 5 guys answer them and they never see that board again. People don't get that this is a community with rules. And just like any other community people have to get to know you before they're going to help you. Especially with a source. Except the scammers of course, they are a newbie's best buddy.

I love this statement:

They go to people with lots of Karma thinking that means they have been here longer or know more about AAS which is not true at all.

This is so true. Before Karma you could pick someone out as knowledgeable by the time here and the number of posts they had. Then came the Chat board where you could run up your post count into the thousands in a couple months by posting "yeah that sucks" 3000 times. So post counts were no good anymore as an indicator of knowledge. Then the Karma came and it looked like a pretty good idea. You give it to someone for a good answer. So you know who gives good answers because they have lots of Karma. Now you can buy it, win it, trade it, whore for it, and even get Karma just for saying, "yeah that sucks". So we're back at square one.

Agreed i have been here 5 years and see it the same way

Its a fine line getting the right calibre and number of Mods. So many sites are over flowing with Mods. So many sites have ego mad Mods.

Its not easy and sure George will discuss with his staff and recruit when he feels the time is right.

It was not that long ago he put some polls up to recruit new Mods. Just a shame some have left recently

Good thread though and better than the usual i want to be Mod ones as this is constructuve K to you
