Order VS Chaos

It's depressing to see how inactive it has been recently. I mean, everybody is pretty much primarily posting in the never ending thread now and there's not enough people here to make this place really booming. We need to find some way to bring more people here before this place just fades into nothingness...

I know for a fact that a lot of boards out there are thriving because of how many people are there. We just need to get back into the game and pull people here. However, where we obtain these people might matter, because we don't to end up pulling in douches like those at Selkath.

I understand that people are busy these days, but it doesn't seem like they're rarely at their computer anymore. I know most of you are still dicking around with your computer. I don't know how we …

Happy New Year OT! We may be dying... BUT WE'RE STILL HERE! We had an... interesting year last year. Vice Admin Burkman is taking a long earned vacation and Uly is stepping into his position. Well...

It's always occured to me that the OTA forums are very loose. (You know where this is going)

We always have had loose moderating. Mainly because all of us are friends. Plus the entire premise of the OT is loose. But how loose can it get?

To me, there's a line to be drawn. Although the OT is supposed to be a fun and simple place, it is not supposed to be some sort of madhouse (which I feel like it's been recently) and allowing everyone to run amok. There needs to be some actual moderation if you ask me, from our mods. Which we rarely actually see....Although I will give credit to some, most don't even use their mod powers for anything other than editing posts as a joke. :/

So...Am I all alone on this?

So.. why did you have to change your font and color for this?

LOL YOU SAID "Loose"!!!

Subject: Re: Order VS Chaos Wed Aug 31, 2011 6:09 pm

We use our moderator powers fine actually; most of the time it's things you don't notice (like moving threads etc). Also, I don't know any of our mods who edit posts for laughs.

You should stop arguing with people if you don't want this place to be amok.

Are you telling me Mat has never once edited a post for an lol?

@Mat: Just felt in a fancy mood.

@Wilbourn: How typical.

@Colla: I actually try to avoid the drama now. :/

That's also like pointing at the sky and telling it to become green. It just doesn't happen like that.

Oh I don't know about Mat; I was talking purely about the moderators.

@Vas, I would count Mat as a moderator, and if not, fine, admins. Also, I'm pretty sure Causa has done it, and at one point Branch even did. But this isn't even my point.

I WAS YOUNG AND FOOLISH!!

Besides, Mat asked for permission and Causa and I just had Admin wars.

Vaseline, you are completely denying the point of this thread. I wasn't raging about that, I just gave it a mention as it tied in to what I was saying. Will you please stop trying to sound all smart and stuff by calling me out an everything now?

Erm, actually if you read my first post in this thread then you will see that I was simply mentioning the editing posts topic:

Vaseline wrote:: We use our moderator powers fine actually; most of the time it's things you don't notice (like moving threads etc). Also, I don't know any of our mods who edit posts for laughs.

And I'm not trying to call you out; all I'm doing is backing our moderators by saying that we are doing our job.

Moving threads and all is fine, but it would be nice if we actually had some applying to the rules here. With that said, not all the moderators are like that, but most are. Who's fault it is, is a debatable topic.

I'm getting nowhere arguing with you, and I'm sick of it too. Good day to you ma'am.

Well the moderators and admins do what they think is right and the best they can. If you have a problem/see something that you feel needs taking action against then you should PM an admin or moderator at the time. You could also give us a list of what we need to do and what needs taking action against right now - seeing as you have made this thread yet are pretty vague on what you actually would like us to be doing.

My request isn't that hard to understand, now is it? All I want is some actual moderation up here. This place is like a madhouse. With that said, I don't want to kill the fun, but I would like to see some more punishment...and yes, I did just say that.

I haven't seen anything worth punishing that hasn't already been punished...

So what do you propose? That we become Nazis and lock every other damn thread?

We have been doing our jobs, but we hardly ever run across anything over the top and extremely offensive to other people. There have been some drama threads, but they have been taken care of.
