Posting Opts

[Azrael]

whats the point of being a mod now? they dont mod anything now right

Exactly.

 

As a moderator, you should expect 15 minutes of work because that's what you get with accepting the responsibility. If you don't want that responsibility, let someone else have it.

 

Go take a look at RSC's clan section, and the war topics. Go see how moderated that is.

 

Now, if you're after making these forums more active, I believe a shitstorm is definitely good to have. Shitstorms blow over in a day anyway. ;)

 

Lastly, don't make me go Pure Nation in this *****. I don't think a rule appealing to only 5-15ish people is good for the community as a whole. If you don't want to moderate it, don't do your job then.

You think the mods only do 15 minutes of work? LOL On weekends, they have to moderate clan topics for hours because people are too immature to just say "we lost, good fight" This lightens the load a bit, but they will still probably be modding topics for hours, just nothing about opts anymore.

You have more than enough mods to deal with 3-4 trouble making topics and the posts within.

Yes we have enough mods but at the moment most of them are on vacation

who gives a ****, as long as your members know the truth then that's what matters

The people complaining are probably the ones who are posting the dumba$$ topics in the first place.

Amg flaming over the internet i was once one of them :o but yeh the rule is dumb i use to scoll tho look how other people pull'd who they fought won loss watched a vid if i had 2.

[Brayden]

One of the dumbest rules yet, you make a rule about opts? People are showing how they did, they should be aloud to post the opts.

If we didn't constantly get two topics from clans that opposed each other like this...

 

Topic 1

 

Clan A starting: 30

Clan B starting:Dunno, probably like 812 we were really out opted.

 

Clan A ending: 28

Clan B ending: HF, VF, MM, EOP, PX and CP crashed but we only saw 1 person in single so we won.

 

Topic 2

 

Clan A starting: At least 847 + mains + EOP

Clan B starting: 40

 

Clan A ending: Cleared em all

Clan B ending: 25

 

*Opts argument shitstorm on both topics*

 

Obviously an extreme example but that's what happened every weekend. Until you guys are capable of talking to other leaders before posting opts then you won't be allowed to because of things like this that lead to 10 pages of useless arguing.

Doesn't matter you are a mod, and you stepped up to the challenge. Of course theres going to be idiots who say dumb stuff. But this is also an internet, and 2011. Everyone hates each other. A clan topic is just a topic. If opts are off by 5 who gives a ****. Most people roughly have the starting opts from the other clans, because everyone uses scouts, and spies now. Its just the other clan who lost, says our opts were -5. Yes i agree you have to be more strict on this kind of stuff, but its getting to the point where its ******* ridiculous.

Everything they do is invisible to you since they hide posts, give warns and ban.

Its stupid i dnt even check event topics anymore, I DONT CARE ABOUT THE STORY YOU HAVE TO TELL CAUSE ITS BIAS, i dont want to read an esaay about how much fun your clan had just post starting and ending opts! thats all anyone cares about.

As I've said, and many others said, nobody gives a flying **** about the flaming. Let people do their thing and you'll have topics reaching over 150 posts. Everybody forgets about what happened a day later so basically you just waste your time moderating it. Why sit on a topic for hours? Refresh it once every 15 minutes, and do something else. It literally isn't that hard, and anyone can assume what your responsibility is because it's quite a simple procedure.

 

You think this will stop conflict? I don't really think so.

If nobody gives a flying *** then why do I get constantly pm'd by clan leaders and members telling me to clean up the flames and suspend people? Just because you don't care doesn't mean other people don't. You can whine to each other in irc. And it's not gonna stop it entirely but it sure helped a hell of a lot this weekend. Sorry you can't have your stupid arguments over how you actually had 50 people instead of 56 anymore.

[broseidon]

maybe those people whining are the ones that need to grow up then

 

Look at RSC which is far more active than PW and how much moderation actually gets done there. Only time mods intervene on topics is when its a crash topic or theres two topics over who won, and then then usually just merge the two topics together. I've never seen then actually delete a reply unless its spam or an offensive picture or something.

 

And it works well.

Yes but your posting for other people to look at the topic not your members.

[Tiger]

the reason why this topic is still open....

 

is the same reason why we cant post opts anymore.
