More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | As PR Admin, my job involves tending to the members and answering their comments, questions and complaints. To make things easier and to hopefully lessen the heavy amount of threads in this section, members are encouraged to ask of the mod team right here in this thread. What's up with this broken function? Why did we do something a certain way? What could we improve upon and how? I'm attempting to bridge the gap so members get a quicker response to things when approaching the mod team. It's your forum, guys. Ask away. Note that this is for forum-related affairs, not personal questions. Ask, and ye shall receive, ///TESSOU/// |

There are currently no plans to bring back the member map since it's so problematic. |

I always made new threads, it makes it easier to locate later than having one huge thread for anything and everything that might be brought up. |

That is the part I understand and appreciate. But this has the potential to turn into a huge thread with a lot of different topics. I don't see what a thread like this has to offer over multiple threads, each with its own topic. I can see only one difference, and that is a drawback ( long thread with multiple topics ). Past history shows people creating threads for questions they want to ask, it's not like people won't ask if this thread is not here. People who want to know things usually create topics to ask. Just my two cents... | ||

I for one am optimistic that this will lead to a better relationship between the team and the membership. |

Yes, but the fact that this exists shows a sense of openness to those kind of questions. Having been conditioned by other boards, there's only one place where I'd make a thread related to mod team decisions, and it's not here. I would imagine that most people would be apprehensive as well in situations like that, especially if they'd recently been warned, had a thread closed, etc. | ||

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Right now Perry and I are working out what to do about that. Remember when I proposed a full mod team refresh? Well, we're working on it. Mod team changes are agreed upon by both of us, but lately we haven't been able to find much time to talk about it for about a week (I go to bed "conveniently" when he gets off work). I suggested putting Kyon on the team to replace another mod, but that translated to "add Kyon to the team" after a couple of days. The important part is that we both agreed that Kyon was the best choice among a pool of candidates. You just have to give these things time. |

Professional Amateur Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 10,568 Member No.: 30,882 Joined: Oct 16th 2008 Location: Laniakea | None taken, Logan. I don't think another mod (whether it was me or someone else) was unnecessary either, since not all the mods can be online all day, so more mods cover more ground during the day and can catch things quicker. It's not so much that we have so little activity we don't need more mods, activity isn't really the reason, I think. Although I'm sure we will be picking up in that regard soon, but that's another story. |

As IDW is not a recognized government of any kind, we cannot tax members. Then again, we have no reason to in the first place. With such a small treasury (which you can make bigger with your hard-earned dollars, hint hint), any sort of monetary incentives are out the window. ----
The idea of physical items for the site has been tossed around quite a bit. The problem lies in the design phase. What should they be? What should be on them? Will they pass copyright law? We can't just throw Takumi on a shirt and expect to get away with it. Extra titles and badges are currently not being considered. We have enough member groups as it is. | ||||

Casey, if no one else would back him up, I would... I've seen a great deal of character development lately, and I think he's the "right person for the job". https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=44...dpost&p=1234009 | ||

Moby, it wouldn't matter if it was you being added as a mod again ( I hope someday ), I was just curious why there was a need for an addition..had nothing to do with who it was. Casey | ||
