All you mentioned in your post was that more people should apply to be a moderator. That's not going to help anything. You need to first sort out the current moderating team before adding even more to an already huge number of staff.

People have been making really fantastic points throughout this thread and they seem to be getting ignored.

I would love to apply again, but to be honest, I'd rather not wait 6 months before getting denied anyway.

been doing this for over 4 years mate..and i have given this site a lot of hours..at one point i was on for about 10 hours a day..but you must remember most of us have day jobs..so we cant all be here every minute of the day and night

Yeh, I did state earlier there is a small handful that are the exception. However I am talking about the majority.

Yes it's all well and good saying you have day jobs, and nobody expects you to be on 24/7, but there are 22 members of staff, so I'm afraid that excuse doesn't really cut it.

There are sites 10 times bigger than this, with less than half of the amount of staff, who manage absolutely fine.

Admins need to know how often each moderator is likely to be online.

I just checked each moderators profile, and why is it that around half of the mods are from the UK???
In fact, to make matters worse, pretty much all of the mods are from Europe!!! There is hardly any time difference at all for countries in Europe, so surely they should be all seen around quite often?

Haha,

1. my lil' bro shares account and put the video in question on there

2. stop spying on my family!

Jack I got to agree again with you.

The problem is when you get alot of English/Europe mods they all tend to work the same hours they also tend to be on at the exact same time around 8pm you will get 3/4 mods all on together but 2/3pm theres nuthing

Snooker.. You need to start looking in the direction of active day users as when the chat room is busy 2/3pm and no mod is online this is where the problem is caused,

RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

Also to make my point stronger 231 playing and 36 members in the bar and not 1 mod online and it's nearly 16:30 this is where you need to sort it out.

Do not be fooled!

When you search for a mod, it tells you "there is no visible mod online". There is one very important and carefully chosen word in that sentence.

Do not be fooled!

I have the ability to completely take threads off topic.

keyword in that is visible in guessing

Yea, But if you are Volunteering to give up time every now and then to help a ever growing, and a site devoloping all the time it does make you wonder why volunteer for such an important role if you can only come on once every 1-3 month?




That is one hell of a myth or fantasy!

not a myth or fantasy though, its truth

But who cares if a Mod/Admin is using another Name and yeah you got the complaint button

But thats not going help you if you are in a game with a abusive member you need is it...

Report Abuse takes like 2 weeks get solved

And Mods/Admins should not be allowed 2 names

And it's a joke Nick tries hard but when I was a mod I worked nights so I was on all day but theres none of that around now a days.

I have been digging in the funky snooker library for information on age old myths! Yet again I have found another myth or fantasy that is beyond the realms of imagination

^ Well thats neither here nor there realy is it. "spying" lol. I f u didn't want people to see your family don't post on youtube for the whole world 2 see.

carried on ^

As to my "taking the nazi side" i hope you realise what a silly statement that is and how ignorant you are. + if your tyna insult someone use a word thats relevant and makes more sense.

Yet again a thread that meant well has descended into complete fantasy for the most part, and completely off topic for the rest.

It is dead simple - we can only recruit out of the applicants who apply. There is no conspiracy as to where someone is from, what they have done before etc etc. Each application is judged on its merits and the users history with the sites.

Everyone who applies gets an "accepted" or "declined" email. This is hard coded into the process and something even admin cannot circumvent, so don't believe the "I never heard anything" stories.

As those who have been around a few years will know, these things tend to go in cycles. People who are very active apply, get a mod position, then real life kicks in be it work or education and the online time, rightly, gets reduced. Then in time, a "new generation" mature and a spurt of activity happens again. There is no minimum time requirement, and rightly so. It is far more important to have good mods on less, than unsuitable mods on all the time.

Also remember a moderator does not have to be "online" to be doing their bit to help, and due to the extra admin coverage since the sites merged it has been a very long time since any complaint sent about a user has not been dealt with within 24hrs.

So, if you feel there is a lack of staff, the solution is simple, encourage anyone you think may be suitable to apply. The more applicants, the more mods, so the more coverage.

Since it's that simple - Capped.
