You've never been involved in any threads that I have seen in which you display knowledge of software engineering. Even if you are a developer of some sort, it doesn't really matter as you do not participate.


I don't think any of you do a bad job, but as one of the prominent developers on this forum I can really see the lack of engineering knowledge among the moderators as a whole.

I dont see why it would help to have knowledge of programming to moderate posts that get out of hand.

Lord_Anton: I believe you are looking at the "Moderator" in the strictest sense of them being here to basically just lock threads, ban users, etc... where I believe a lot of other people (including myself) look at moderation as you would a channel operator in many channels... where they provide some sort of benefit to the discussions and can provide helpful technical insight into the topics... an ACTIVE participant rather than a passive post-locker, and troll-banner.


I think many of the best forums flourish because their moderation has an active roll in the discussions.. especially the technical ones. I agree with haz that a forum dedicated to utilities and development of them (for anything, not just AC) would benefit from having active moderation of a technical nature.


If you still have no idea what i'm talking about, maybe it would help to refelct on the old days of IRC/Forums/BBS and remember the position that the moderators and operators were put into.. the status they held, and the respect of their peers for their technical abilities and their abilitiy to SHARE that knowledge. If you weren't into IRC/Forums/BBS back when that was the case, then I don't know what else to tell you. It's not about Power, or Respect, or Status, or anything of the sort, but just having that place where users can look to for answers I guess. It's a hard concept to explain to someone who's never been in that place.. and if you have, you know what I'm talking about and it doesn't need explaination.

eh if thats what ya want then you should apply and then us lowly humans wont have to do it

Where's the application?


I've passed my interest to moderate to Kestrina and to ex-pinky. I didn't know there was a form I had to fill out, or I would have done that as well.

Wut old days ?


You can find such moderators in clan sites, Dev sites, and other, fairly specific sites. Usually mods are the ones who either created the site, or actively participated in doing so. Don't you have one of this now Drak?


As for mods here, their only "responsibility" is to make sure ppl follow the CoC to one degree or another. mods here has no authority above and beyond what the CoC dictates, nor do they benefit from enforcing those rules (afaik, tho they may get "free" accounts?)


Mods here = cheap labor force for IGn who makes money from Ads
