ChiefsPlanet LNBS - The People's Mod... term limits? - Page 6

**pr_capone** · 10-28-2015, 04:21 AM

First and foremost... I want to express to Flop that this thread is not in any way shape or form meant to show disrespect or a lack of gratitude for the work done.

Second... this thread is not created to express interest in being a moderator here.

-----

Listening to a conversation tonight were people were talking politics (upcoming election and complaining about entrenched representatives) and it got me thinking to when Flop was voted in as the mod in 2011 and was dubbed "The People's Mod". I was wondering what you all thought about having a single mod position being an elected position for a term of 4 years.

In my head:

* Every 4 years a thread is created by an Admin asking for nominations for "The Peoples Mod".

* People would nominate... then vote

* The incumbent mod could very well be re-elected or a new one would take their place.

What say you?

Nothing has changed. The same things keep happening over and over again. If you want to remember it differently, it's fine. That's how I remember it.

even most people who didnt think it was the qb are now saying it is the qb

In what ways should we be more transparent?

By making me a mod.

First rule should be that you cannot nominate yourself.

Keep the censorship as close to zero as possible, while upholding AC's rules
Keep the bannings as close to zero as possible, while upholding AC's rules

As long as that's happening, why should anyone give a shit who the mods are at any given time?

Besides the free booze, hookers, the Ban Wheel, there's really nothing to do in there.

I feel that mods spots should be up for renewal on yearly terms. Reason is simply the human element tends to get in the way of moderation after a period of time.

Some folks cant put there personal differences behind them when it comes to moderation. They abuse their rights and unfairly screw with other posters because of personal feelings.

Yearly terms should be voted on and new folks should have the opportunity to help police the site.

Otherwise we will revert to the Old star board levels or dear lord even the Orange mange...

Did you hit your head on the sidewalk really hard?

I don't think transparency is a major problem, but maybe when someone is banned, a stated reason (what rule was violated) and who banned them might be good. This could help give people a clearer idea of where the lines are so they don't cross them, and show the rest of us that enforcement does occur. Showing that it's all above board might also lead to less "you poked the bear" moderation

See, I've got it stuck in my head that Kate Upton is shows up in there every couple of weeks to blow everyone. It's driving me nuts.

I make donations every month to Time Warner Cable, Kansas City Power & Light, and American Family Insurance. For some reason they still don't listen to me when I tell them how to run their businesses.

I'm not saying do away with the mod lounge. You need somewhere to discuss without input from the peanut gallery.

But I'd start by asking that you publicly talk about actions being taken. Hell, make it a megathread. If you ban someone, say so, say why (post a link to the thread, if possible), and post the mod vote (is it even voted on, or is it one mod deciding action should be taken?). Say when that person will be reprieved.

JMO, but there should be no such thing as "you poked the bear" moderation. Retaliation is not a reason for moderation.
