The forum review

I quite like the changes, it should hopefully mean easier moderation! I would like to think mods will need to notch up their commitments though, as there are not many! Would also be good to hire global mods who have knowledge of certain areas such as tech. Also love the brown name, makes me feel nostalgic .

Discuss.

Global moderation is a good idea.

[Jordan]

Excellent Changes, I hope this all goes well.

Really like it, I wonder when the limited staff members will grow to 8 or 10 staff members rather than 6, I think 6 may be too little especially when one or two MODs are posted away.

Yeah, I'm not sure if 6 is enough if some are away.

Will there be any sunday updates today?

I think it is a good idea, although I can see some new moderators when they are given the job being somewhat power hungry. I think the feedback section should be left for super moderators, but what ever.

Also did Dictionaries actually do anything wrong? If not I think firing him is a joke.

How come when Tom resigned you said "Past few months" and for Dictionaries it's "Past few weeks" when they were hired at the same time?

Anyway, I suppose it'll be a bit better but I don't know if only 3 moderators will be enough, I suppose time will tell !

[AgnesIO]

Could I point out only one moderator is online at the moment?

I am not accusing the moderators of not being online enough - because that would be really, really unfair.

But surely you need enough moderators - you are expecting each moderator to be online for four hours a day moderating? Voluntarily?

Recursion was in my last set of trialists, Dictionaries wasn't so they weren't hired at the same time! I think these changes will work very well, 6 moderators with global permissions should mean a forum of this size in it's current climate can be moderated effectively, obviously the numbers were larger before as we had individual moderators in individual forums - now everybody is everywhere.

Dom, one online is enough online, there are also several administrators so if anything happened it would be easily covered.

mhmm I was thinking the same tbh, I know when I was a Super Moderator he did do a lot, shame to see him go if he never done anything to be removed!
