Holy crap, it finally worked. Been trying to do that for a while now

Good. Now you solved your little avatar problem.

This thread sounds sooooo familiar *COUGHYUFFIELOVERCOUGH*

I'd agree to it but....I remember Qhimm saying aages ago, something like "I dont want to make anyone else admin, because most of them leave the forum shortly after because they cant handle the job"

Well...it was something like that

It's not my intention to criticize our almighty Qhimm, but...

There are some people who just don't look like they're going to leave the forum any time soon. Some of these people just happen to seem like they might be fit for the job. And if they can't handle the job? We'll just be back where we started, but is that fate so dreadful? Appointing new admins is worth a try, isn't it?

That's my two cents. Of course, Qhimm knows a lot better than I do. I don't suppose appointing someone admin is as simple as just clicking a button. It costs him time out of his schedule. And if he did say this:

... Then it has come true in the past. Even for someone like El Ammo Bandito!

Isn't El Ammo Bandito! the one who handled the game tweaking area before halkun??

No offense to everyone here but from what I have experienced is the best mods/admins are the people that never asked for the job in the first place.

This. Except no new admins or mods will be appointed unless the subject is brought up and a lot of us want it.

And even then there's no telling if the current admins will care enough to appoint people.

I agree with both of you. People who generally make the best mods/admins are people who have no thirst for power, and never ask for the job, however, 'round these parts, that's not an option. Due to Jari leaving, we're kinda in shambles, and the only way to fix it is for someone to ask for the job and (hopefully) get it.

Now, with that being said, we need someone who will have no second thoughts about banning or IP banning, even

This is why I could not be an admin. I would have no problem deleting and locking threads when needed, but I'd be reluctant to ban.

nikfrozty · « **Reply #60 on:** 2010-05-30 19:02:40 »

Maybe we need someone who is very strict with the rules that every one will be scared to post without having good grammar.

sl1982 · « **Reply #61 on:** 2010-05-30 19:32:56 »

Grammar would have to be pretty damn bad before a ban should be considered. Grammar is a courtesy to the people that have to read it, but having bad grammar or spelling is not nearly as bad as 'where can i download AC models!?! its urgent! help plz!'

DarkFang · « **Reply #62 on:** 2010-05-30 19:34:32 »

so iz ban not cnt if iz yo tlk diz liek?

So when we see something like this what is the admin likely to do?? Should they ban them fast or warn them first?? Maybe at least two warnings.
BTW I don't seem to see "death_gigas" post anymore.

Well considering most of what you posted there is not even words i would consider that bad enough after a few warnings to stop.

death_gigas or whatever he felt like calling himself that day was given repeated warnings before he received a ban.

I think you guys are missing the point, go take a look at the grammar natzi thread. Sure some of the grammar sucks but it can be read easily enough. I was talking about the worst case scenarios.

The Seer of Shadows · « **Reply #65 on:** 2010-05-30 21:20:48 »

Being a Grammar Nazi doesn't make you a good admin. If I were appointed admin, I would quit my Grammar Nazism right away.

The ones that need banning are the ones that consistently stir up trouble without remorse, the ones who spam shamelessly (posting things that cannot be humanly understood counts as spamming in my head), and the ones who fail to follow the rules regardless of how many warnings they get (repeatedly necro-posting, asking for Ultima Edition help, etc.).

Not that I'd make a good admin. I'm terrible at knowing when to assert myself and how.

Yeah same here. It's pretty sad. The members on this forum talk with enough grammar that I can understand them, but people like that I just can't understand.

[sarcasm] I guess people get their E's and A's mixed up. It's very common and very easy to do. I guess they accidentally hold shift while they're typing this as well. Or maybe they completely forget that caps lock is on. This is very common as well. [/sarcasm]

There was also a little bit when a few threads were filled with tagalog. That was fun...

Honestly, this thread was made just to vent my frustration about it. If I, or anyone else, was made a mod or admin I would probably die from sheer amazement. Thereby eliminating any use I would be :/

We actually don't NEED someone with banning power. If we all collectively ignore the people who break the rules, most likely they will go away out of frustration. The problem is, there are always at least 5 people who have to reply to everything so that they can either up their post count or as a way to "show off" their knowledge/wit to everyone.

See: any and every thread Hermoor was in.
