Agreed, instead of all these bulljive posts of people pissing and moaning about crap. the mods just need to start to delete posts so they dont get the chance to start a pissing contest.

Its time for a change of things around here and i hope Dave will welcome it.

there should be something saying they need to have been a member for a certain amount of time.

I dont care who it is really, i think i needs to be someone who has been around for a little while and knows the people here. other than that somebody that will have the nuts to delete a post when need be, not just make a comment about it.

Hell i will nominate myself, any post that is in the direction of a fight or starting one i will just delete.

Some seriousl clean up needs to be done around here.

I would almost reccomend wiping out the board and giving it a fresh start... accept for the things that are really important to the site like informative topics.

Dave what do you think??

There's a lot of stuff that I like to go and look back on, like that scene from that movie "The Time Machine", which was nothing like the book it was made off... the dude is like a few million years in the future and sees all the old wreckage of a library and the computer that still works... I guess what I'm saying is that we shouldn't delete where we have come from, just the direction that we are headed in Laughing

I think it's completely up to Dave. Dave knows who is best and who isn't. He and his mod team can figure it out. The community would just pick the 'coolest' person or something, not the most fitting....so to say.
Not a terribly bad idea though.

Honestly, things get touchy every winter, it's just that simple. And you can never win on here either--either we delete too many posts or we dont' delete enough, or we split too many threads, etc. I personally don't warn anyone about a crappy post--if it's offensive or off topic, I'll either delete it or split it (although now I'm leaning more towards deleting everything, instead of splitting it). But I do believe in freedom of speech, so I try to stay out of most conversations, unless they're completely out of hand or useless to the thread they were so thoughtlessly posted under. And you have to take into consideration the demographic you're dealing with on here. Sleu crew, you seem like you're older so I think I know where you're coming from, as far as post content goes.

And I will say this right now: it's easier said than done. As kento how he feels about moderating and the duty now that he actually has to do it.

So here's a fair warning--think about what you're going to post before you post it. If it's off topic or offensive, you can "can it", start a new thread, or IM your buds and show off your sick sense of humor. shred the gnar...

EvanPark, no offense, but i really havent seen you do anything as a mod accept tell me to change my avitar cause you think its offensive... it seems like more of a power trip for you to be a mod on this site, and if there was a vote and im not trying to pick on you here... but i think you know just as well as anybody else that you wouldint be a mod for much longer.

electricsnow, I totally understand where you are coming from believe me, but IMO some drastic measures need to be taken, alot of people used to love this site now all i hear is people talking shizzle about it because of how it has gone downhill so bad. And i havent been here for that long but i have seen a huge change and its deffenitly not for the better.

And yes thank you for pointing out that i am old Rolling Eyes HaHa j/k Very Happy

I would like to know what is so different now and why everyone keeps saying how things have gone downhill. Can someone explain this to me?

As for the mods, I just appointed 4 new mods within the last two months. So far, they are doing a good job, so I see not reason to replace them at the moment.

If the message boards have "gone downhill", it is not the moderator's faults. There is actually less moderation now then there was before because I have slacked off on it. I used to moderator A LOT harder. Maybe that's what the problem is? Maybe too much garbage is allowed now?

I think that could be some of it Dave, that you aren't moderating enough. There is too much garbage I think, too much non-sene. That is why I suggested the sewer forum thing. People should be allowed to have fun and joke in threads, but there should be a place to keep the forums in order.

Sleu crew, I'm older too. But think about things on the flip side: how many people on here complain because of how the wakeworld forums are? A number of people complain that their posts get deleted or their IP's are getting blocked...

If we overmoderated, you can bet that we'd be hearing about it, and We'd still have people saying that they're leaving. Honestly, I don't think the general forum looks bad. I do come on the site every day and I read just about every post (even though I don't respond to every post that has my name in it), but I can't spend 20 hours on here. I have work, school, and outside projects that are being done to benefit everyone...

And in a way, some of this doesn't make sense (unless I'm missing something). People complain about the crap on here so they want a sewer forum, but that's basically what the non-wake forum is (and where the most meaningless posts end up). Honestly, it's a public forum and there are just some things we can't keep up. Dave would be able to explain it better than I, but part of it has to do with young kids and if they stumbled upon something inappropriate--then dave's the one that's responsible and liable for it.

Oh, and sleu crew's avatar makes me laugh Very Happy
