Remove chat mods (vive la revolucion!)

[Boy]

Take a look at the sb rn, the reason everyone is rioting is because of chat mods. If they didn't exist, it would be normal. Let the moderator team take care of moderating...the shoutbox has always meant to be a place for open, honest discussion and community building, but chat mods are useless and counter-productive. It's not anyone in particular, it's the concept of having one. Administrators, this is too much. Although people's opinions and conversations have been suppressed for so long in this forum, this is really excessive. Unlike before, which was somewhat more lenient, you're putting the "rebels" (by your skewed standards) in concentration camps, making them suffer and anticipate their deaths. (Credits to Fox_, Badger, Shortninja or whoever made the Hitler metaphor.)

Honestly the people that are the shoutbox staff are people who spend way too much time on here anyway which makes them think they are above everyone else. I'm tired of seeing newer members think they are better just because they have more posts.

We wouldn't want inactive staff members would we?

which makes them think they are above everyone else.

What do you base that assumption on? None of us think we're above anyone else because of our posts on some minecraft forum.

As stated above; none of us think we're better. Also I love how you used "newer members". Do you believe account age makes a user a better staff member? There are staff members who've been here less than I have and I never complain about it.

Lachy got Chat Moderator, but just because post are low doesn't mean anything.

Chat Moderator:
A forum moderator oversees the communication activity of an Internet forum. He monitors the interchange of contributors and makes decisions regarding content and the direction of threads. Moving discussions from one section to another to keep topics organized is also a common job for a forum moderator.

If the tone of a forum becomes hostile or starts to move in the direction of personal attacks, the forum moderator usually has the discretion to lock the discussion to prevent heated, interchanges. He may also be able to hide discussions he deems unworthy of further discussion. Conversely, topics he feels deserve further examination can be posted indefinitely by the moderator even if they garner no comments.

Moderator duties are as diverse as the forum topics themselves. Some moderators are virtually invisible; they surface only when situations arise that do not seem likely to resolve themselves. Other forum moderators are always there, ready to intercede at the smallest hint of discourse. Public forum moderators often have to enforce many rules of conduct and decorum, as public contributors tend to communicate without abandon, which can sometimes upset other commenters.

I believe it matters on what you post, not how many you make. You also have to understand, some are more professional than others, that is how I believe Lachlan won over the other staff members.

Doge has been here longer than me, and I don't sell accounts, but I get a better understanding and ruling over things we he stands up to be in-charge.



As long as the newer promotions does their jobs, you will not see me complaining.
