Then don't just talk to the administrators on the board. Talk to any of the staff members. My PM box hasn't exactly being overflowing with help and ideas to improve the forum. Send me a couple. Send anyone a couple of ideas. And if they are even reasonably valid, I will bring them up in the ad-mod forum. Though you can already access it, its always good to have more onboard. Just talk to me, dude. I'll help you out with some of the issues you wish to see resolved.

Admins and Sup Mods, I won't go into that.
But let's look at the moderators closely...

K_A and RS mods Off-topic,
Jiddar, Shinto, Apoq, Gsus and I mod DII.
NGM mods War III and RPG,
Kuja's #1, SYG and NGM mod Console games,
Randuin mods CG,
BlueCube mods RPG Maker,
Mantra mods Web Design,
Raziel mods FF, GG and Lit.

What I was trying to say in my last post is, many of the mods just mod a small section of the forums. They are modded because they have knowledge in those respected fields.


You dont post in off-topic so basicly the name that show on off-topic is because they mod every forum in off-topic.
It doesnt change that there is to many mod.
Yes some are in only 1 of them but that doesnt mean they dont know about other.
Mantra sure can be skilled in the spaming but he aint chat forum mod.
While KA probably doesnt even know what iostream.h is in c++
and the only coding he probably can do <html>What next ?kthx</html>
There i fail to see the point in him being a mod there.

Has for KA action in Literature forum ?
Here is what he do.
http://www.zelaron.com/forums/showth...threadid=19566
He never shown in the few post he did there any interest in that forum they are all little comment that ar. So why is he a mod there ?

Jamesadin 2003-10-24 07:14 PM

Usually, when we decide to moderate a member of the offtopic forum, we usually give him/her all of the forums. So they could all be run equally, with the same rules.

Even though you guys think he's a faggot, I completely agree with that... Although I have no real problem with everyone being admins... But it's kinda sad to see people like Penguin... Who do next to nothing... (Nothing visible, if I'm wrong, then show me what you've done and I'll make a public apologization and admit I'm an ass)

Well.. I know off the top of my head that he's added smilies to the forum, as well as posting his provactive "giraffe attack" comic books or whatever that was. Even if he doesn't appear to be doing much that you can see, isn't it better to be doing nothing well then to be doing something and pissing people off? I don't think there's a single person really mad at penguin in this forum, and that's something, at least. Do you honestly think you could do better as an admin? You'd probably have a small burst of creativity, then drift off into inactivity, as many people do.. (Xenn?)

Fine you want me to try to list everything ive done? ..... God if you wernt chrusers friend.....Grr... Btw Randuin, If I am going to do this, I want you to list why your still here and why it was worth it to beg chruser to let your ass stay and you better put as much fucking time in it as im about to with this shit you want me to do.

Lets start at the beggining (And then slowly trail off randomly since I dont remember the exact order of things). I donated 50 dollars to zelaron before I was an admin. I knew and was friends with all of the admins (at this point I was a supreme mod). Anyway, Everyone pretty much trusted me so I talk to chruser about it. Im made admin. Now I dont know how many bans ive done in my life here as an admin, probably a shitload. I have traced numerous IPs and Hostnames to prevent banned people from signing up again, and so on. I created the Activity Forum in Admin and Mod. I have added NUMEROUS features to zelaron throughout the time, even tho most of them arnt used anymore. The older games with that small chatroom, our radio station. I have listened and helped shitloads of people on aim who just needed an admin or someone to talk to because they were pissed. I have created rules threads and those important stickys in numerous forums. I have contributed ideas based on all major additions and improvments to zelaron. I have offered help with the portal project / gaming site, but it hasent taken off yet. I have helped chruser, xenn and taco numerous times in the past with a huge variety of things. I have gotten people unbanned that shouldent have been banned. I have given people second chances, who turned around and became good members. I have helped with adding Smilies and Tags to the forum. I ran that flame contest and paid the winner money for winning. I have made lots of mods and created more forums for zelaron. I have banned people that tried to ruin the board, and even some hack attempts. I have helped keep peace between cheatlist and zelaron back in the days of forum wars. I have gotten Zelaron listed in a German Gaming magazine. I have tried to help get the irc active, back in the day. I cant even remember the smaller things I have done everyday from temp bans, to warnings over private messaging, to just helping chruser with something he needed. There are probably a lot of things Im missing and I could probably just ask chruser and he could name a few off the top of his head but hes not on.

I have done more for zelaron than You, Randuin, Could have ever done for zelaron. Unlike you, I actully care for this community and If I had my way, You would have been banned long ago. I remember conversations with chruser where we both knew you should have been banned but chruser gives you way too many chances, probably more then grav. Im sick of people like you, livewire, and taco (Not no more tho), You sit here and Critize this forum for everything it stands for and yet you stay here. Luckily, I cant ban you or anyone else just because you critize it. Your like. Randuin, Ask chruser on aim Why I am still admin, dont you think if I was doing a bad job I wouldent still BE admin? What kind of idiot thinks that? And who are you to tell me that I do nothing, You dont even give a damn about this community, I dont see you donating your real money or time to help the members here. And I bet you laugh at that because why should you waste anything on us right? Well thats why your such an asshole and have no right to critize me.

I dont need an apology from you, I dont believe or respect anything you say anyway, so what would it matter? You remind me of one of those snobby kids that work for daddy but fuck up the company, and daddy wont fire you because your his son.

The hell it doesn't. Without members being here, there would be no zelaron. When any member seems to complain on my forums about something. I take it VERY seriously, and will do what it takes to fix and make that member happy. I actually want my members to complain and tell me what's wrong with the site and ect... That way the problem can be resolved fast, quick, and easy. Then the site will be most enjoyable for everyone. The more the members are happy the longer they stick around. I think CP is doing rather well with over 70,000 Hits this month so far alone. And we have only been open a few months. Why? Well, Me and the owner spend countless amount of money and hours on the site. And we wont be happy till everyone on the Internet has had a good experience at cp. So don't ever say that Just by being here and posting doesn't give you an excuse to complain. That gives you every excuse to complain.

I don't have a problem with any of the Admins at all, just think there are too many. :p
I'm an Admin at CP.org, we have three Admins. One is the owner, Then myself coding, updating, adding features, fixing links, and so on. And a professional company that needed the Admin access to work on a few things we paid for. Once he's services are no longer needed, he will no longer be an Admin. Then we will just have two. And I know I could do better cause I'm a dedicated worker and this is what I love doing. And I'm never inactive on plans for my site. Reason why I'm bringing this up is because with anymore then 2 Admins, you tend to bump into problems. Example, if my forums had 4 Admins and they were all trying to fix the same thing at once, the code will eventually get deleted, duped, or just slightly messed up. That's why when there is something the needs to be fixing, a mod or the owner will point it out to me and I will go in and fix it. That why I know where all the code is, and if there's a problem with something somewhere then I will know where to go to fix it cause I'm the one who originally coded it.



And I also have to agree with Kuja. I really haven't seen any change since Titus has been Admin, besides banning members for personal or just ridiculous reason. But that can be saved for another thread.

Sick of people like me, or members like me? Why is that Peng? Not once have I said anything that I thought was on my mind. I've never had a problem with anyone here really. I've been here for almost a year now and NEVER Spam, I post content. If there's a thread asking what do YOU think will help the site. I will tell you MY THOUGHTS. If you don't like when members post there feelings about things and how they think the site will be more improved. Then don't ask us. I have nothing against Zelaron at all, and actually love this site a lot. Or else I wouldn't be here as long as I have been now. I've caught Virus through this site, and yet I'm still here. Never got one dupe from this site, yet I'm still here, and I'm not a spammer. I just tell it how it is. So man I think you should take some of this Criticism very serious and maybe think and HEAR what members have to say. I'm not just talking about you Penguin. I know you have done a lot for the site, and your a great admin and there lucky to have someone like you. Its just sometimes staff members like titus will ignore anything you have to say that they think will help improve the site. Dude fuck this I'm tired of typing now and I think I'm going to quit for a bit.....

I apoligize then. Robin pissed me off and i just read this thread and wanted to come up with examples.... -.-

Randuin 2003-10-24 10:21 PM

Hey I just think there's too many admins... I don't even have anything against anyone... And I didn't want to pick on the new adminned Titusfied... That'll be saved for later.

EDIT:

Okay I promised public apologization

Sorry Penguin, I'm an ass

There

Titusfied 2003-10-25 10:13 AM

Well, numerous issues have come up, and I'm glad they have. Opinions in this thread are taken seriously, so don't think they aren't. I just wish everyone would get their heads out of their asses and start posting more facts to back up their opinions, like LiveWire did.

I like how he had his opinion, then stated why he thought that way and what he would do to fix it. He didn't just say, "I think Titus is doing a bad job," and leave it at that. Although he surely has shown his distaste for me as an Admin, at least I can respect where he is coming from. The fact of the matter is, there are 4 Admins because we all take on separate roles. Sure, if it was just Chruser and WW, things would still operate fine, but there have been many instances already where input form either myself or Penguin have drastically changed the opinions and outcomes of something those two would have decided upon. In any case, Chruser and WW have more permissions than myself and Penguin, so in a sense, they are like Super Admins, but without the title. There are certain things we don't have access to, such as direct access to the coding, but that doesn't mean we don't do anything Admin worthy. Expanding this place, keeping it organized, keeping up with CP maintenance, backing up the database incase of something catastrophic, etc. are all duties we pull. Having 4 Admins makes everyone's job easier here, not just ours.

I love the fact that Kuja posts quotes of mine from the Flame Forum, as if they have any base in this thread. Obviously, he took everything I said in there seriously, and he should be ostricized for that alone. ;)

I keep hearing people talk about how I've banned for no real good reason, etc. but the truth is, I haven't. Every ban gets passed by the Staff before made. Opinions are taken, and if someone doesn't think they deserve the ban, then it doesn't happen. Sure, there are some instances where it is a clear cut case of deserving a ban, in which case I will do so automatically, but I report my actions right away. If proper evidence is given for them to be unbanned, I do so, no problem.

There are many opinions in here that are just that, opinions. LiveWire has stated many things that I've already taken action and started discussion about amongst the Admins. Other things just have no base, and are not taken as seriously. Not because we don't respect you, but because you haven't shown enough reason why you feel that way. Some people have personal vendettas out against me, and I'm fine with that, but their hate towards me won't change anything unless they start acting mature about things and try to conduct themselves and their thoughts in a more organized, eloquent manner.

Kuja`s #1 2003-10-25 11:07 AM

Only 15 mods? I thought there were more than that.

As for Titus and the other Admins... I think they have all made very wise decisions. They have shown that they are capable of doing extremely intelligent things here. Besides it has to be hard. Knowing that one litle thing can put you in the de-adminned home with Hendrix...

Regar5ding mods, I have no opinions. They do their jobs. They keep the forums they mod clean. That's their....our job. We do it.

As regarding that the staff don't care what users say, I have to say that is the biggest load of BS I've ever heard. EX-Mania and Titus are proof enough for that.

LiveWire 2003-10-25 06:15 PM

I dont dislike Titusfied, or anyone at that fact. Just my thoughts on how i felt. I guess not haveing acess to the Admod and activity forum, i cant really say if you go ban crazy :p Just try and understand how it looks on our end that all man. :) I think all staff does a wonderful job. Lets not take anything personal anymore :)

Jamesadin 2003-10-25 08:43 PM

Im pretty much happy with all of the staff on the forum, right now.

PS. I can't belive my name hasn't come up yet. Is this saying that no body hates me? Well, thats good... I guess. :)

Kuja`s #1 2003-10-25 08:45 PM

Besides the fact that you, as a Sup Mod, don't do anything, I think you're a very likable person.

D3V 2003-10-25 09:54 PM

I think all of the mods are good, (until two days ago).

Soverign was added to the starcraft. I believe that this won't help out starcraft's activity problem. he will spam it for about a week, bringing in people who view new topics, and then it will lose its spark and go back to its old ways.

Sovereign 2003-10-25 10:07 PM

Spam?? Go check the starcraft forum and please pm me all the post that i have made that you think are spam. I will gladly move them into the trash can or rewrite them.

Im not gonna deny it. Things have been pretty slack recently for me. :) So, if anything needs resolving... anything, PM me, so I can do something.

Atleast you get everything handed to you on a forum.

!King_Amazon! 2003-10-26 10:00 PM

I remember that. I don't remember him begging to be a mod, however.

Kuja 2003-10-26 10:31 PM

From what i have seen KA isnt good at understanding what can and cannot be done.

On today news.

KA edit and close a thread instead of moving it cause for him it wasnt in the right forum.

Then he post Cock on Zelaron whitout knowing what was wrong whit it. Not to mention the same url was posted in the past by someone else and i had to get someone to delete it.

Randuin 2003-10-26 10:40 PM

... I hope you know his post wasn't dedicated around the URL but just a simple chat log with quikspy67...

!King_Amazon! 2003-10-26 10:42 PM

For real, now you're just nitpicking because you didn't get your way.

What you posted was offensive and innapropriate, and I don't think anyone but you disagreed with me.

Now, for the last time, SHUT UP ABOUT IT.

Titusfied 2003-10-26 10:45 PM

Well, having read this thread under discrepancy, I fully agree with !K_A!'s actions, and yes Kuja, while your opinions are always welcome, some things just need to be taken with a grain of salt. That thread was offensive, and you should have known better.

Kuja 2003-10-26 10:52 PM

Thats what you said to titus this.

PiMPiNReDHaTMaN: he was saying jesus doesn't exist and if he did little kids sucked him off in alleys and shit

Those are your word that you assemble on YOUR assumption.

Oh you sure ?
Ex-Mania doesnt disagree after i explained whit the post unlike probably made up word like you did whit titus.
Maybe Titus wouldnt have reacted so highly if you didnt said Kid get Jesus cock in their mouth.

mjordan2nd asked me about it so i sent it to him here is what he said.

!King_Amazon! 2003-10-26 10:57 PM

Are you ever gonna shut up about this? You're really getting on my bad side, I don't have anything against you but you are keeping this up when it's something that needs to be dropped.

And by the way, if you want me to read anything that long from you, please spell/grammar check it. I'm beginning to think you're using a translator or something, and if you are please tell me so I can go easier on you.

Kuja 2003-10-26 11:03 PM

I dont need you to read my post, i dont need you on my good side either. This thread is asking a question and im anwsering it. If it's a problem whit you that i posted that, there is one thing you can do. Avoid doing something the what you actualy classed wrong. So basicly if your there it s not my fault it s yours.

P.S. Mostly when it's done in the same day.

Then one day a dupe comes out and its patched before you get to use it. Now you feel your forced to stick around and Spam like everyone else does.

The only thing this Zelaron has going is a good laugh at Gravs Comments. That's about it. Everyone knows that Chruser is some 17 year old Swedish kid that is doing something with porn and Japan. WetWired is some God coder that should be making some $$$$$ with the work he does, and hmmm... That's about it. The other admins from what I understand don't do much but act almighty cause they have three little arrows under there name. Its kinda pointless to argue. Plus 85% of people reading this thread wont read this far.

It's a thread to make Mods and Admins feel special.

Rurouni Storm 2003-10-27 08:36 AM

Thank you guys for shitting on a good thread. I'll close it until I have time filter out the crap.

Dan XIII 2003-11-13 09:38 AM

So far the mods are doing a good job.I got warned for digging up an old thread but that was them doing their job.As far as mods go the only mods I don't like are the ones that abuse their power.At another forum site called final fantasy discovery because there were two mods named Black War and Kosai who hated me.They assumed I had 7 accounts because I told my friends about it and they all signed on.They banned me and all my friends because they assumed I was all of them.So far I haven't had any problems like that here.Keep up the good work mods and administrators.

RoboticSilence 2003-11-13 09:41 AM

It seems Dan XIII is one of the few people to take this thread seriously... thank you.

Kuja`s #1 2003-11-13 10:02 AM

Yeah...thanks.


I have no issues with any staff members at this time. They're active, they do the right things to help the forums and that's all that matters.

Jessifer 2003-11-13 12:58 PM

I personally have no quarrels with any of the Mods/Admins/Other/ect that I've talked with. In fact, I think they're all pretty damn cool in their own ways.

And IMHO, it's rather inane to start a thread asking what people think of authority figures and not expect flames. It just tends to happen, no matter what medium it's in. There will always be people who dislike others who have more power than them for no other reason then just that: because they have more power. But some of those who have the power also can have a superiority complex.

There are always problems on both sides. And to me, they're redundant.

...So...yeah. I <3 you all.

RoboticSilence 2003-11-13 02:30 PM

I'm not asking for flames, I'm asking for constructive criticism.

Kuja`s #1 2003-11-13 03:02 PM

Criticism is benifical for improvement.

Sovereign 2003-11-26 12:55 PM

I want to know what peopls opinions of me are. Serious opinions.
