iamtrip Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Is it true that you need to be good at rpging to become a moderator?

Mex Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 I have a question. Why do some super mods only stick to one parts of the forums, they should patrol the whole of Lucasforums, right?
Pad Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 There is a policy smods only mod the areas they visit the most. It´s for not interfering with each others bussiness.
Rogue Nine Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Most of the S-mods you see are those with a speciality in SW affairs. There are others, and you probably haven't seen them if you don't hang out in the non-SW forums. I make it a point to scope out pretty much all the SW-related forums on LF, but I usually only take action in those I feel comfortable posting in.
Redwing Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 What Pad and Niner said. We've had "issues" with this in the past. I myself usually perform damage control in the LF RPG forums. That's my 'specialty'. (Not to mention that I'm generally the only s-mod (or mod, period) who reads them...hehe)
Lynk Former Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Yup, Reddie's the RPG Special Forces around here
Redwing Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 While we're answering questions... Originally posted by Kain I've never seen a mod delete a really big thread - just some ******* who couldn't take the fact that his debate tactics (flaming and posting false facts and biased opinions) were getting called out and everyone was beating him into the ground about it. I lost about 100 posts... ...that ****er. Mods generally just do not delete threads, only edit or delete posts in it. I think at one point there was an official policy on it, and now it's pretty much just an unspoken thing. Even if you see an especially offensive thread disappear from the forums altogether, that doesn't mean it's gone. It means it's been moved to the private mod forums...for evidence.
Mike Windu Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Damnit, the mods are onto me. *grabs a plastic lightsaber and runs*
Darth Groovy Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 Originally posted by iamtrip Is it true that you need to be good at rpging to become a moderator? You talking about the battle hack? I never touched it. I don't even HAVE an rpg name. Hope that helps answer your question. Truth is, moderators are picked based on who we as a collective unit feel would fill the postition best. About 99% is based on your posting habbits. And remember the unwritten rule...don't ask, let us come to you.
swphreak Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Lynk said Um, I don't wanna start something here but aren't privacy issues preventing you guys from reading Private Messages without informing the members that you are able to? I'm sure there is sometihng in the ToS that would allow admins/staff permission to read PMs. Besides, this is the internet... there is no privacy. <.< [Edit] after reading the so called ToS... it appears there isn't. Either way, they own and run the site, so they can do whatever they want on it.

Of course you ARE wrong....I would know.... *kicks Phreak out of the thread*
swphreak Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 So you're saying that the Admins and staff of this site are not legally allowed to read PMs? It may be morally wrong, but if some multi-million dollar company starts knocking at the door becuase some poeple have been participating in illegal activities in PMs, what will be done then? Read their PMs? All the admins have to do is add to the Privacy Policy that they have the right to read PMs for legal/security reasons and there is nothing users can do about it.
ET Warrior Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Is it true that you need to be good at rpging to become a moderator? *pulls out +5 broadsword* *proceeds to bludgeon...things....* Hmmm, I must have gotten picked for mod based on something other than my RPG skills
Pad Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Originally posted by ET Warrior Hmmm, I must have gotten picked for mod based on something other than my RPG skills I´m actually wondering what those skills might be
Guest Jed Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 From the JK.net Code of Conduct 10. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s). We reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you. Any message. PMs included.
ZBomber Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Originally posted by Jed Any message. PMs included. I don't think that says they can just check them for no reason tho, right?
Redwing Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Someone could, if they were an admin, but that's not the point. Admins can do absolutely anything they want, or at least the ones as high as say Chris and Aristotle. If you own/run a site, who's to say you can't do something with it? But that doesn't mean they would. You aren't going to get bored supermods or moderators digging through your private stuff, because we don't have a way to do it, even if we were so inclined. Which most of us, I imagine, are not.
swphreak Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Yeah, that's in the JK.net CoC. Is it in the other section's? Why can;t the whole forum agree to a set of rules and stuff?
Lynk Former Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 @ Jed: Ah... You know I haven't actually read the rules before XD
Guest Jed Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Originally posted by StarWarsPhreak Yeah, that's in the JK.net CoC. Is it in the other section's? Why can;t the whole forum agree to a set of rules and stuff? Because LFN is a group of separate communities. Each is based off of a website, and different websites have different staff. Different staff will choose to run the corresponding forums differently; hence, why the rules here are different from the rules at the MI forums, for example. Why can't the whole forum agree? You try getting people to conform into one set of rules when they've been used to something else. If something was made, no place would be left unaffected.
