First of all i mean no offense to current mods
but i think we need a couple more to keep an eye on things and stop them before the escalate prob need just a couple more deffo need them before the silly busy pre season starts
and stopping threads from going off topic
personally i'd like c4 to be one
HP and hawk_88 has been inactive... os deactivated his mod account
so we do have an issue atm.
Yep definitely a problem at the moment. I suspect this would be on m0nty's to do list for the site 'make-over' this off-season.. :)
HP does what he can but with Uni etc. can't handle it on his own.
Yeah i agree so many have gone off topic.. The mods that we have do a great job but with more and more members joining I don't think it'd be bad to have one or two more.
c4v3m4n has my vote as well, he always ensures things stay on topic and things don't go too far, and is a great contributor to the site.
It would be good to have a couple more mods on the beat. Certain situations have got totally out of hand recently.
I was actually going to make a topic. Yeah Hawk_88 is bairly on and I heard he stood down from mod months ago...
Yeah c4 and maybe Ossie to get it back? Then we should be fine...
8)
I totally agree, nothing against the current MODS. And I think we'll need more than 1...
Have always thought we should have spec mods. Having a DT mod that is constantly on the DT boards might make the job easier for them and resultantly would do a better job. Same for SC, AFL, FB, cricket etc. etc.
yeh good call guys, to much for HP to do at the moment, as we cant expect him to be on 24-7.

5 perfect candidates. Active and level-headed! Cmon m0nty, make these 5 lads official!!
I also think Spink and CF deserve honourable mentions.

i don't really like it, then if one of them are on they can only moderate that board they could just work out between themselves what they want to do

Point taken but if Mods are chosen correctly on where they spend the majority of their time then that is fine. Also suggesting minimum of 2 mods for each board which I forgot originally. To explain, in my case if I was a mod ,I am probably 95% in SC Board so would mod SC Board, Note not angling for the job.
With regards to Coaches Board I think it should be moderated by coaches with at least veteran status.

I do what I can, as been a hectic recently for me as exam period and other stuff going on, I still check up for REPORTS (which is not used alot but I tend to get to them when on, first thing I check). Considering I am only home like half of the week and have other stuff going on (general sickness and all past year or so), it gets really hard to read all threads, so Mods rely on the report button. I have heard that some of these Draft threads have gotten out of hand, and spilled over into other threads. I am sadly not on as much as I used to be past years where I use to read every single thread made, so it gets quite hard to keep up at times (especially with site growth and sheer amount of posts now compared to then). Given, shall be able to see about things faster starting from next week.

Think if Oss wants to be a Mod again, he should be allowed, he did a fantastic job for the forum! But I agree C4, we probably need another one or two as the site grows and the increasing presence of trolls (leading to increase of attacks/abuse/etc).
You could also look at spreading the load of moderating whereby instead of x amount of moderators look after the entire site, individual moderators look after individual sections of the site.
One person moderates the DreamTeam section, one moderates the SuperCoach section, etc etc.
Possibly, but if one decides to take leave, another would have to take on their duties. And if m0nty doesn't see, that section may go Un-modded for a period of time, so easier to have them all over and whoever is on can deal with reports and such.
However, if we become more organised, could easily talk among ourselves to see who could take each section (although all remain Mods for all sections available). This way we can handle our own sections and help out elsewhere if needed.
Also rely on reports which not many use. I tend to get PMs from some users or they ask me on Chat to see to stickying topics and all. Would make job easier if more report but think everybody is lenient when it comes to that button.
Valid point HP.
A lot more education about forum etiquette is needed and a more focus on the reporting button too.
Been discussing with C4 in the Mod board about this very thing for a little while, especially after Ossie deactivated. I agree we need another 1-2. Ossie can get back on when he's ready and I nominated C4 for the other position. However, it is down to m0nty.
Thanks for the explanations HP. We as users need to be more pro-active and use the report button a lot more when threads get out of hand. Seems to have got a lot more out of hand in the last 6 months or so.
Must admit the one time I did use the report button action was very swift so that may be the lesson.
Thanks for what you do as mods.
cheers Hellopplz, and hope you didn't take offense to the post i just knew we only had like 2 or 3 mods atm and don't think that's enough especially when pre season gets really busy like when NAB cup starts

I am actually on your side when it comes to having more Mods! Just when people say we have to be ontop of everything, makes life alot easier if people can use the report button such as the spammer from earlier today.
Hey guys,
Been on fairly rarely over the past year so hard to comment on the current state, but I can say as past mod (although recently found out I technically still am one) that the reports feature makes our job MUCH easier. It sends us all an email, so even if we aren't on the site at the time we can quickly jump on and deal with the problem. MUCH easier than reading every post.
More mods could very much be a good thing, 3-4 is probably a decent amount as 3 seemed to work pretty well when I was active a while ago.
Having separate mods for sections probably isn't a great idea though. I understand the concept, but what it means is that you can have one mod who is currently online unable to doing anything because the problem isn't in his section. That and it makes it difficult to track people who are trouble makers in general across the whole forum. It is a good idea to have a selection of mods who as a whole will cover most if not all of the site, but give all mods full access.
Thanks you both (HP and Hawk) for the updates.
There appears to be 2 things coming out of this after reading the thread:
1. We probably need another 2 mods to be added. I think 4/5 would be ideal as there should then be adequate cover if one or two of the mods needs a period of inactivity.
2. Given that when the report button is used all mods are sent an email about the thread then we should get in the habit of using it immediately any situations arise.

Yep specially as going to hang up the pen / boots / whatever & finish work you will have all that time on your hands + the travelling time as well. LOL Better go n find a nice hidey hole now.
IMO...
Mods need banning powers. Sick to death of these trolls who just troll and get away from it because banning needs m0nty's approval
Maybe a ban system where 3/3 mods must agree or 2/3 or 3/4 or 99/100 (if we were to have 100 mods lol)

Naste youd be another that would make a good one, the way i see it the more the better, do what you can when you can. As long as everyone/mods are on the same page it's all good. I think its better to have alot then it doesnt become chore it remains a hobby for want of a better word. I'll step up as i cant ask others to do what i wont, but give ya the tip naste banned straightaway, he's damaged my nook nook situation with jokes that i fear could be unrecoverable. Not to many pea's coming out the jar lately. :(
have used the report feature couple times today some stupid pictures in dream man/girl thread of spiderman got removed and just used it on whatlex after looking at all his posts clearly a troll account so i'll be using it more often
I have traditionally spent a lot of time on FF active, and intend for this to remain the case going forward. Probably more so now than ever before.
I have offered to take on Mod responsibilities and would be happy to do so if the need arises. Most people know me well enough around here but I will leave it to the current mods, Os and Monty to let me know/ decide if I can be of service.
Happy to step up. Spend a lot of time here and love the site. I am also an old head (37) feels old with all this youth running around :)
@kilbluff1985 - I removed some of his trolls from the forum I do moderate (AXVs) earlier, can't help with anything outside of that at this stage.

Been waiting for Lez to see the Whatlex comments, but yeh thats the go, use the button thats why its there. We all get that uncomfortable feeling when you/i see something that aint quiet right so use it. The membership has almost doubled in twelve months, on the whole most are law abiding really.

Would vouch for Colli on this. Doing a premium job keeping things under control in the AXV, and generally around the site.
Also agree there needs to be more mods and sounds like it might be good to have a spread of ages :)

Well I'm pretty sure we've established there are 10-15 good option for mods if m0nty decides to go this way :)
It is a pretty thankless job though. Trust me I speak from experience on that (I'm one of the Mods on the Wrestlecrap Forums)
yeah i hear there is no pay :)
the reward is in contributing and being a part of it all I think and the benefit is to the site in keeping it premium and growing.

Incidently, isn't this about the time a mod should come in and tell us to stay on topic? :P
without reading the article, 2012 is actually when the mayan calender ends, not necessarily the end of the world- oddly enough, they onlt made their calenders 3000 years in advance, what a surprise :P
I know all this, but there's still dumb flowerers out there who believe it.
Well actually the Mayan calendar was just built to start again.
A book in the 1900s claimed that the end of the calendar meant the Mayans thought the world was ending, not that they ever stated such things.
The calendar reset at least twice while they were still around lol.
Pfft, I have more mod experience than most here.

From what I've seen in the soccer boards the foundations are there mate ;)
I would apply to be a mod, but whilst I think I would do a good job (and would like to think the members of FF would think I would as well), I concede that there are a plethora of other options that are of a much higher calibre than I. Good luck to anyone who monty chooses to join the mod squad :)
Yep, you'd be another top candidate mate. Honestly there are 10-15 blokes who would be outstanding given the chance!
do we have a time frame for this happening?

I would apply to be a mod, but whilst I think I would do a good job (and would like to think the members of FF would think I would as well), I concede that there are a plethora of other options that are of a much higher calibre than I. Good luck to anyone who monty chooses to join the mod squad :)

But beside the point, think we've drifted far enough off topic!

Incidently, isn't this about the time a mod should come in and tell us to stay on topic? :P

Hahahaha yes. Not at first glance but when I took a second look I was like "ahh yeah"
I actually looked up the show to see if it was him.....
alas, it was not :P
Back on topic:
This is all speculation as m0nty hasnt announced anything regarding adding more mods. Yes, we may need more mods but the decision doesnt stop with us.

i think he should announce something see who would want to do it then start selection process thought he would have said something in this thread by now
although it's pretty stupid a thread asking for more mods has gone off topic people need to think before posting

Thats my point - m0nty doesnt have to announce anything. He is ultimately in charge so its completely up to him what he wishes to do.

And 'back on topic' as you wannabee mods are saying... Cmon m0nty make a speech! Speech! Speech!
I don't think m0nty would air it for all to see, there wouldn't be a vote for members to decide, he would drop a few quiet PM's and ask individuals how they feel about taking up a mod post if he feels more are required. In saying that i'm sure he'd be interested to know we all agree here that the current mods need some help.

why not ask in the coaches board who would be interested it's a very quick way to narrowing down who is not interested and who is would save mOnty time also

there's candy in the coaches board? where? lol
he keeps a pretty decent eye on feedback.
Id be a surprised if m0nty hasnt read this or doesnt know about it. I could be wrong ossie would have a better idea on this.
I was wondering if others were able to PM him as i could last year but recently or about 6 weeks ago i couldnt.

I figured it would be something like that or he was just getting bombarded with rubbish.
Would you think he'd be aware of this thread though ossie?

No worries mate, thanks anyway. ;)
its a long shot but has anyone tried his twitter account??
Hi everyone.
I have contacted m0nty via an alternative form of communication and have made him aware that there is some unresolved issues that require his immediate attention.
I have confidence that this matter will be sorted out as soon as possible, but until that time, patience is required from everyone. :)
He's only one man with a mountain of FF work and real-life stuff as well, not Superman.

A couple of months ago i got ossie to put up a case for me to be a mod to help out. I think he was able to contact him but i have heard no response to this.
I find it a little frustrating seeing posts that should be modded but cant do anything about it. I have been able to use my mod powers in the euro to help solve some issues and i found it was really helpfull in difusing some situations.
I would be happy to put my hand up as im pretty active on the DT board, even if i dont post as much. i still read the section everytime im on.
It will be soon be 3 years i have been on the forum and I would be happy to give back to the community if given the chance.
Wow i just looked and im 2 hours off 100 days online.
I will get to this presently, sorry for the lack of response so far.
thanks Monty at least you're still providing communication for the rest of the community in the offseason
also thanks again for the time you put into the site

Im off out guys/gals so leave it with ya's, be back later to lend a hand. Goodluck.
These latest spammimg have highlighted the need for extra mods Monty. Both HP and Hawka have a life today and as a result reporting of spam currently going on still no action.
Monty as a suggestion is it possible to give mods ban/deletion powers for 24 hrs pending review by yourself,
Is it possible to say have an additional button notify as Spam which flows straight through to yourself or assistants so accounts be stopped immediately. It is very frustrating finding spam in some of your own threads.
Thanks for the site Monty but just an improvement suggestion with Spam at the moment.

Ringo brings a good point.
One of the issues with a new mod is having to make sure they fit under certain criteria etc. etc.
If you just give 4-5 regulars (such as Ringo himself) powers to delete posts that have been reported then the problem will reduce dramatically

+1 at certain times they are coming in quicker than we can report them because of the 120 second waiting time.
I could mod... (not sure if I already said it on this thread)
At least I'm on 16 hours/day...
Therefore have most of the day covered.
What about people be nominated or Monty selects a few and then the FF community votes on who they want.
And the potential candidates can put in a little speech on why they should be elected ect.

then it becomes a popularity contest i don't like it mods are chosen for reasons other then being popular just let mOnty choose them if he wants info on members he can ask HP about them

I think it should just be done the same as last time Monty just picks them if someone doesn't want to do it he just asks the next person .
yeah, the systems fine.
Agree just let Monty chose who he wants to approach. It is his site and despite a few shortcomings is an excellent site all round so he needs to control who he appoints to moderate boards.

Yeah, that's true.
But it seems that the spammers have stopped? ???
doubt it, will prob start up tonight they usually get really busy after midnight diff time zones i guess
even if they have we still need couple more mods i did start this thread before the spammers got busy
had a dream last night that m0nty had decided on the mods ;D
He chose 2 great new mods who were both top choices (forgot who) but I wasn't one :( lol

it only came to my mind when people were asking to report a thread in the players and trade (DT) to HP so he could remove it and i just wished i could remove it to help HP out.
Agree we still need a couple of extra mods to help HP out even if it means separate Mods for SC and DT boards to ease the work load,
Monty definitely needed with the increase in traffic.
Yep it's definitely needed. It's off-season and we're already seeing some examples of 1 simply not being enough. :-\
