Nominate a new sup mod (unoficial)

[Sovereign]

With ex-mania's good bye thread, we are now down to 2 supreme moderators. Now, I have NOT consulted with the admin about any of this, so as of now, it's just to see peoples candidates if we were to sup- mod someone.

Who would you pick and why?

[IronGuage]

uncapped, he seems cool.

[HandOfHeaven]

Uncapped-He is a well respected and wise member.
Thanatos-See above.

[Slim]

Uncapped
Thanatos
Penny_bags
Vollstrecker
Mjordan2nd

All are pretty intelligent and have the longevity required to be good senior staff in my opinion.

[D3V]

Actually I'd choose myself. I know that I would be more responsible than most of the canidates, (Besides mjordan2nd). I would do my job, and I am Quite active. I've already had a position on the Staff and I kept my responsibilities well, but I wasn't in touch with the rules and I was removed.

I know that Zelaron needs some help now, but I'm Sure I could help it towards a better future of gaming excellence.

[KagomJack]

Vollstrecker
Mjordan2nd
Slim
RoboticSilence

(I had no idea Ex-Mania left :( That sucks)

[platnum]

I nominate Vollstrecker. He is smart, respected, active, and he has done a very nice job with the diablo section.

[Penguin]

Last time I checked, D3v was not allowed to hold a staff postion here again. I have no idea on a replacement but there will probably be a vote in the admod forum.

[Ganga]

RoboticSilence, NonGayMan,Shinto Katana,Randuin, GravitonSurge

I am happy to see any one of those to be sup mod.

[D3V]

Why wouldn't I be eligable for a staff position? I was talking to chruser just the other day and he said I could some day, but it wasn't the right time for additions.

[Penguin]

well if chruser wants to change it let him, I dont care, I was just stating what I remember.

[Insanity]

I vote for DEV because he's the only person I know personally

[platnum]

D3v HAS shown alot of interest in change lately.

[Slim]

I have a feeling he told her to say that. *cough* GOING OUT *cough cough*
Oh, and considering she's the only one (so far) that would support D3V as super mod, I don't think it would happen.

[HandOfHeaven]

Oh shut up Slim, all you are looking to do is stir up controversy, and that is the LAST thing we need in the forums.

D3V certainly has shown very valid and interesting points in the past few days. Maybe not sup mod him, but maybe mod him.

[Slim]

HoH, if you really want to start shit, find the flame forum and I'll be glad to rip you apart. Otherwise, shut up. My point is valid.

[Sovereign]

I actually wouldn't mind him having the position. And besides, who better to judge D3V then somebody who knows him in real life.

[HandOfHeaven]

All you do is chip away at me or some other member in each of your posts. Stop it now. I am in no way starting shit, I think you are out of line.

[D3V]

Kagom listed my name. I really would like to help Zelaron, as I've posted before moving it in a towards direction with new ideas to keep it fresh and new with the members would be great!

[Slim]

1. I have a right to let my opinions be known on other members shortcomings.
2. Obviously you ARE trying to start shit.
3. If you think I'm out of line do as I suggest, start a thread in the FF.


EDIT: Look at Kagoms post again, D3V.

[Sovereign]

Or how about you shove your ego's down both your throats, get on A.I.M. and try to solve this without fucking this thread up?

Penny_Bags also seems to be a good choice, and I'm sure he'd be able to keep me in line if I start acting up again >_<.

[HandOfHeaven]

I am trying to prevent you from promoting negativity. I am in no way trying to start shit at all, and this is no way near a flame forum worthy thing. I suggest you stop posting right here, as all you do is tear down posts/threads/members.

[D3V]

Edit* Yeah .. He changed it for you.

But seriously Slim, you haven't been here long enough to even have of a feel for the position. And ONCE again you wish to start trouble, instead of posting any sort of ideas that you would propose. You would rather argue and bicker over matters that don't .. matter.

[Slim]

I think you just have a stick up your ass over what I said about you in the "where is it" thread. I'm sorry, I believe I already posted who I wanted as mod. Oh, and I never said I should get the job, Kagom suggested it.

D3V, I'm not great at coming up with ideas because I don't spit out everything that comes to mind. Your idea isn't even going to be happening anyway.

[HandOfHeaven]

I see someone saw my point. You could very well make a good staff member. If you say that now you are not being your intelligient self, I would like to see the real D3V. You must have a lot of insight.



My argument with Slim has nothing to do with his namecalling of me in various threads

[KagomJack]

Actually, in the original post, Slim's name was on there.

I'd also like to throw NonGayMan's name into the ring.

[Sovereign]

NGM is nowhere near active enough, and I don't see him becoming active any time soon.. you guys have to consider visiting frequency when making these choices..

[Demosthenes]

Myself, Penny, Jizmo, Uncapped.

[Jamesadin]

well if chruser wants to change it let him, I dont care, I was just stating what I remember.

I also remember that. It was decided after the third (or so) ban.

[Chruser]

Why wouldn't I be eligable for a staff position? I was talking to chruser just the other day and he said I could some day, but it wasn't the right time for additions.

Oh, I did, huh? :p

[Tyrannicide]

One thing, there should be no voting for yourself. Voting for yourself is pathetic, you have to throw your own name out becasue no one else would. That proves your not worthy of the job.

My vote goes out to MJordan2nd cause he knows a lot of stuff and he is cool.

[RoboticSilence]

I'd pick Raziel because of his activity and sense.

[KagomJack]

I'd pick Raziel because of his activity and sense.
I can't believe I forgot Raziel >.<

[HandOfHeaven]

He seems to be a tiny but underrated. Completely forgot about him, he is very intelligient, has lots of sense, and is a very good person.

[D3V]

I would vote MJ because he'd be the first African American with a staff position, am I not correct? But I vote for myself because I'd do a better job, more responsible.

[Tyrannicide]

No..

Someone who is already a mod should be promotted to Sup mod since they have already proven themself worthy of a mod position. Plus its fair, they waited to be sup modded, some new person shouldn't just get to jump a head of them.

Than after the mod gets sup modded, someone should be modded in the now sup mods place. That way its fair.

[HandOfHeaven]

Well here is something to think about. What if a mod is only moderating a game forum? Or even an utterly useless forum? Would that be fair? If they went from being mostly only in that one forum to the vast ends of Zelaron? I think not. I see some logic behind your reasoning, but I think a Senior Member would make more sense to be a Supreme Moderator. Some already qualify for mods IMO.

[D3V]

Well Mods are usually for one specific section of the forums. As is the D2 seciont, Off Topic, Console, etc. Most people don't have time to mess with it and stay commmitted, as why there is an immideate for a Superior Moderator.

[uncapped]

Vollstrecker. Raziel would be the best choice you could ever make, but I guess he doesn't want the position.

[timmay1113]

mjordan2nd, uncapped

[RoboticSilence]

I thought I remembered Raziel turning the position down before.

[Penny_Bags]

------------------------------------> Sup Mod that guy.


I really do want a staff position (no, not newsposter), and I think that I deserve it... but whatever.



Yes Sov, I would have no problem fixing you if you went nuts again.

[kockblocker1]

I nominate Eddie Perez.

If you want someone who is active and well respected than I would vote for Volls. Honestly I don't know of anyone on Zel that doesn't like him.

[Randuin]

Heh, after last time, i don't think so... anyway

K_A, Grav, Raziel and Titusfied (Yes that's right, back down bitch)

[MightyJoe]

Raziel or Volls, would be good choices I think.

[Vollstrecker]

Raz has turned down the position before. Hopefully, he'll reconsider and accept? No pressure or anything man. ;)

Thanks for your votes of confidence guys... :D

[Ganga]

I think each person can only post ONE time... so the thread won't be all trash. I like old members better because if they still here after 2 years or so that mean they dedicate to this fourm.

[D3V]

Actually it's unofficial, so everyone/anyone can vote for who they want.

[Slim]

I think he means one post, not just vote for one person. This thread is full of stupid posts. You, HoH and myself are all guilty of it.

[NonGayMan]

Sovereign is right. Although I could potentially be a good sup mod, I doubt I would be able to stay active enough to fulfill the requirements. I've had a few chances before to become sup mod, or atleast I think so, anyways, but somehow I always go inactive when an opening comes up. Nevertheless, I would like to state my opinion on who I believe should receive this privilege. Somebody who is well-respected by the members (hopefully there's someone ;) ), somewhat mature, and acknowledges the duties that must be done by a sup mod. I do realize that there are some members here who are very active in the flame forum and may be disliked by other members, but sometimes respect can even be gained through hateful words. I'm sure we all know who those people are. It is to be urged that all members do not become jealous of the new upcoming sup mod. It is only a title. After reading some of the hateful posts being made towards some members and moderators, it is relevant that we must prevent a crisis from happening. When one person leaves, they may all start flocking away. We should try to prevent this at all costs. In my opinion, if the members of this community would just act a little bit nicer towards the staff, then I'm sure no powers would be abused.

Barney says to make love not war, and Mary Poppins proudly proclaims that a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down!

[Raziel]

Raz has turned down the position before. Hopefully, he'll reconsider and accept? No pressure or anything man. ;)

I'm a naturally lazy person. I have a hard enough time getting myself to mod the handful of forums I currently look after. There's no way in hell I could motivate myself to mod all of the forums on a constant basis. I'm perfectly happy in my current position.

My votes would have to go to either Robo, Medieval Bob or Vollstrecker. I think I'd have to lean more towards Robo, because he's been here almost as long as I have and he's proven himself to be an upstanding and productive member repeatedly during that timeframe.

[Ganga]

oh ya medieval bob. Yes my 1 post mean you post one time about who or whose you want to vote for. You don't need to post couple time to nominate yourself...

[Vollstrecker]

I'm a naturally lazy person.

As am I. Fortunately for others, I'm generous and enjoy helping people.

I should be a Teacher. :p

[Raziel]

Fortunately for others, I'm generous and enjoy helping people.

I prefer lighting puppies on fire. Knocking over handicapped people in their wheelchairs is pretty amusing as well.

[ask_rabber]

I nominate Robo, Bob, or Uncapped. All 3 members have been around for a while, and aren't fully retarded like half of you are.

[Vollstrecker]

I KNOW you aren't talking about ME. :x

[‡AC‡]

Voll or Mj , I'd like it allso but, other than Raz who would turn down a staff position?

What is needed to be a sup mod anyway?

35% activity , ? , ?

[Sovereign]

i THINK 30 percent or higher.

[‡AC‡]

i THINK 30 percent or higher.
35% was one of the things brought up durring a PM session me and titus had, I just can't rember the other regs he had told me. I don't keep PMs in my inbox.

[Vollstrecker]

The requirements are the same as Mod, I believe. The thing is, that Sup. Mods should be somewhat more mature/etc since they're more of a Zelaron Representative, you know?

[D3V]

Who all does that eliminate?

[Vollstrecker]

It's not my opinion that matters, it's up to the people in power. ;)

[Sovereign]

Are you calling me immature -.-

[Vollstrecker]

How did you construe that?

[‡AC‡]

Are you calling me immature -.-
Ummm, You have been known to be very immature at times.

[D3V]

Then again, he's got the title. So your overruled.

[Vollstrecker]

Ummm, You have been known to be very immature at times.

Everyone has, it's not like anyone is flawless. It's not the 'at times' one should be worried about, it's the poster's regular behavior.

[‡AC‡]

I've never had a problem with any of the staff, except a small beef I had with titus a while back, but Only one of my post have ever been edited. Which because it was an out of place spam in the Chat forum (bob). I know the real reason it was deleted and I'am cool with it.,

If you would clam down and stop posting bs sov would stop editing your post. Give it a rest D3V.

[Sovereign]

Umm I wasn't asking you? I was wondering if he was calling ME imature, as in if it was directed at me. I know im immature. Maturity is when you grow up, fuck around while you still can ^_^.

EDIT: Hey. ROFL. Look at my post number. I made the 69th post in this thread ^_^.

[D3V]

Ac, I'm not even going to fight with you in here, but if you'd like to, take it to the FF.

Look, you don't know what the hell your talking about, there was a long story behind it and you honestly don't know what your talking about. I made fun of Bob's ex, Sov edited it. I got pissed, made fun of her again, he banned me for using 'profanity' But right before I got banned I made a thread called "Sov's powers" or some shit and Voted to see if he was abusing them. I still felt it was uncalled for to edit my posts to hell and delete my other threads, but its all in the past, anything from now should be geared towards progress.

[Randuin]

Actually I think your first chance was when I was sup modded, the former sup mod was extremely inactive and both you and I were nominated. I won over. Hope you win this time :)

[‡AC‡]

I've read all those thread before I started posting. When I'am gone for awhile I use the new post feature and start reading from the last page.

What progress are you looking for? Its been a well known fact you don't like Sov and he doesn't like you either. Just because he has fucked up alot in the past week doesn't mean he should be demoded, all in all he is the most active Mod that on the staff. Yes there is a need for another Sup Mod, but its up to Chruser, WWU, Titius , And Penguin too pick that person. Nothing you, me ,or anyone else here is gonna be able to change there minds on who is the best choice for the job.

Hows this for progress lets drop the subject or just move all the threads concerning you and sov to the FF. All the related threads so far have turned into a flame fest. I don't care if I get flamed, Theres nothing to be gained from calling people names over the internet other than getting some sort of mental "good job".
This is just a website, just as good as any other forum. You don't like this one find another or start your own.

[D3V]

I never said I didn't like it, AC. I just Nominated myself. Actually, me and Sov are pretty neutral/friends from what I can understand.

Actually, You may not be able to affect their decision, but there are alot of people that can. The other 2 sup mods, or any of the mods. Any good percentage for one person that is also willing for the part may as well get it if there is a need for them.

And randiun, we're you talking about me??

[Slim]

I believe Randuin was talking to NonGayMan.

[‡AC‡]

The whole point behind my post was that we (regular members) can't read the private forums used by the staff and thats were thier gonna disscuss the issue.
You know this allready.

lol I edited Slim's post

[Slim]

Damn you and your newfound sup. mod powers!

[D3V]

How many Sup Mod's are they looking for? Just 1, or 2?

[Slim]

0, did you miss Penguins post on the matter?

[D3V]

I must have.

[Vollstrecker]

Must be in a different thread then. Penguin was more involved with the apparent banning of D3V from a Staff position.

Didn't find anything on a search either, except Penguin telling D3V that his 'Election' would not happen.

[Thanatos]

Thanks to those who voted for me but I'd rather be an Advisor than a sup. mod. I don't really want to become one of those guys that everybody gets annoyed with because I'm too anal about the rules....

I'd rather improve the forums.

[Randuin]

Or you know... You can be one of those slacked back Sup mods that everyone love

[Thanatos]

Like Jamesadin?

[‡AC‡]

Like Jamesadin?
Yep and you could change your name to Jizadin to mess with new members. :haha:

[Titusfied]

Someone who is already a mod should be promotted to Sup mod since they have already proven themself worthy of a mod position. Plus its fair, they waited to be sup modded, some new person shouldn't just get to jump a head of them.

Than after the mod gets sup modded, someone should be modded in the now sup mods place. That way its fair.

Hah, I went straight to Admin after a month or so of Modding the Flame Forum. :)

Anyway, naturally, my first choice is Raziel, but that didn't pan out. I'd honestly go with RS next, but I don't know if he's just been on vacation lately, which is why he's been inactive, or what? Then I'd say Bob, if he can get more active, then bring up Penny or someone like that (uncapped, Thanatos, MJ, etc.) to Mod Off-Topic.

[Sovereign]

RS's computer blew up or something. He said something about an electrical storm burning it out...something along those lines.

[IronGuage]

that doesn't mean it was a good decision though. looking around it seems that the old members here care more about the forum then many of the staff, adding a vintage member as a sup mod would be a good decision for this forum imho.

[Titusfied]

As it is looking right now, Robotic is unofficially going to be the next Sup Mod, and possibly another Off-Topic Mod will be earned.

[Thanatos]

Good luck RS.

[Sovereign]

He already got the spot, btw :p

[D3V]

Good job by picking RS. He already closed one of slaynish's stupid posts. :D

[Jamesadin]

Or you know... You can be one of those slacked back Sup mods that everyone love

Your wrong! Everybody doesn't love me. :p

[Shining Knights]

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

[Vollstrecker]

Get repetitive? :p

[Titusfied]

Purpose served, new Sup Mod already appointed.
