I know what you mean Dan. When I was a mod there it was hell. People think being a mod is all fun and games.. If you have the power and abuse it then people will leave the forum.. Then ultimatly what power do you really have? :buttrock:

Dan Hibiki · 10-27-2002, 03:09 PM

I didn't even abuse it and people started an uprising on me. I don't think it too much to say, "No porno!" as a rule, but nooooo...

princevegetam · 10-27-2002, 03:11 PM

fun and games? it's all about the power. the power to destroy and ban. the power to lock and access to IPs, lol

DanYankees · 10-27-2002, 03:29 PM

yes dan...those "hot girl" threads were getting a little of hand over there at senshuk.

I'm supporting vegetam on this...it IS all about the power. What's better than banning and destroying, eh?

mastaq · 10-27-2002, 03:29 PM

Yes, its all about the power... Power corrupts so many... :shocked:

Good work on keeping the forum tidy.

Is it possible to move the "Non-Related" Section of the forum above the "XvSF Related" section of the forum.

Simply because people that just come to post "random" stuff....are usualy new...or to lazy to scroll down to the approprate section of the forum......(just something I noticed about user activies.)

Well anyways....keep up the good work. :buttrock:

Very interesting.

sk8erfox805 · 10-27-2002, 06:08 PM

finally all the new-bies are gonna get banned.. heeh tomorrow im gonna check the list of the ppl that got banned and im gonna see like 15 names hahaah i bet

nosoul4evr · 10-28-2002, 05:38 AM

I didnt find modorating Senshuk all that hard.
I banned a couple of people...and those that remained in the forum appreciated it.

The monotinous task of reading EVERY post sucks though.
you often feel like you cant do it enough....but ya just cant stand going through the paces either.

And some days you just wish to hell everyone would get their act together and use the forums properly....just so you dont have to modorate.

Yes there is alot of "fame" that comes with being an Admin/Mod. But there is alot of responsibility as well. You have an entire community hanging on your every move and word. Ready to critisize your every action and scrutinize your every sentence.

Probably the most difficult part of being a Mod is knowing when to draw the line, "be a prick"...and punish/bann somebody for constant infractions of the forum rules.

No Admin or Mod "wants" to look like a hard ass. But lets face it some people are REALY stupid.

Vegetam and Yankees, it's not all about the power. You can't simply be a ruthless dictator with mod powers, no sir-ee. You still have to be your good-old self, but with a little more responsibility. For example, you can't just go around banning ppl and deleting topics that you don't like. I already had a talk with Lefty on AIM yesterday, and he told me how he wants the forum to be, and I can now understand his reasoning.

You see, the stupid new-bies that post here are the majority of the ppl that play the game. The list of active vets on this forum is growing very thin. Therefore, if we ban the stupid new-bies like Juggernaut and stjames and ajtimbs that piss us off, they're not going to come back. Now, I know that may be a good thing, but if we do that to all the stupid new-bies, the forum will be pretty much barren except for the 20-30 ppl that post here regularly and without spam. We'll lose much of our fan following.

Lefty said that he's in the forums every day, moderating and such, deleting/locking topics as he sees fit. I offered him some suggestions and opinions, and he said he'll think on them. However, the reason none of us (even the vets) have mod powers is because TMy doesn't trust any of us with mod powers, he openly said that. And if we can simply ignore these new-bies and their topics rather than flame them incessantly (I know, it will be hard for me to do too), then we can show TMy that we're more responsible than he thought, and may think again about giving someone else mod powers. And if you can't keep your mouth shut and ignore them, then don't FLAME them, try and use reason (like I'm trying to do with ajtimbs). TRY (and this is a big TRY) to reason with them.

It's going to be tough on all you guys as well as me, but what needs to be done, needs to be done
