OK, I am sorry, I deleted my post to save mod's work. They are already overworked after all.

Anyway, what do you think about my idea of switching moding people after some time? New people will get the taste of how it is to always be here to guard the HC (maybe that will make them spam less), while older ones will have some free time. Seems good, IMO

This is a bad idea, since not everyone got what it takes to be a mod, there was a discussion about it earlier, and it wasn't approved.

Actually if I was to make a list it would look exactly the same.  And also I don't mean to disrespect the mods but TNT has a point that some of the current mods are scarce around these halls.

Donīt u all think, your membership here is way too short to be able to state if someone would make a good Mod or not?
Perhaps u should read back posts and threads of the last year instead of the last month to get a better overview.
Donīt get this wrong though, it is not refered to the "Mod qualities" of the mentioned members, but meant in general.

Still my main question remains unanswered , why are the old unactive mods are not removed and are replaced by fresh enthusiastic ones?

Is the routine of mod replacement so hard to proceed with?

I think that the community is full of mod potential and almost all of them are ready to take the responsibility that is required.

In every other place a person who is not contributing anything is an extra load and always removed immediately. This is hard to believe that maybe you are still waiting for a person who is absent for 6 months or even a year and more to suddenly return like nothing happened.

And one more thing Val, you gave a warning to supersonic not to spam the thread when Lich_King here posted 3 times a 3 part joke.

That's exactly what I meant. Thanks for phrasing it better, TNT. Why don't put some people that are old, experienced and all that?
Angelito, when I looked on the list of all mods, I got shocked, because I know (saw posts), only like a quarter of that. Ask somebody new to tell some mod names. He will mention Angelito, Pandora, Lich_King, RSF, but not many more.

Like wow!  Mods have qualities now?

On a slightly more serious note I thinks the modsquad as it is is fine (maybe HC needs to replace all current members though )

I think itīs not the question if some Mods are (currently) quite inactive (some of them got a new job, some of them are on their way to finish exams...and so on..), but more "is there a forum which is completely not moderated?" Most of the forums have more than 1 mod, so one of them will always be here and take a look.

This situation took place about 1,5 years ago, when the library lacked a bit in moderation (with good reasons thouh, Hexa became father of a cute little baby, Kuma settled to Thailand). Members wanted additional help there, so i became a Mod (and there was also something about donuts.....). Still Hexa is lurking around every now and then, and library also is quite activ moderated currently in my eyes.
Maphaven guild also became a bit quiet, but for the matter of fact, maps and their discussions also belongs to the library, i helped dragonsister there aswell (she also has/had reallife stuff to handle, and as far as i know, she will get a baby in late spring).

So as u see, itīs all about inactive forums, not inactive Mods.
But as stated in the FAQs, everyone can feel free and apply for a Mod job. If Val and the other Mods think, additional help is needed, a new Mod will show up soon..

Angelito said it perfectly: if you have a complaint about the condition of a specific forum, let us know. If not, you have the proof that the current mod squad is doing a good job. Sorry but I'm not going to restructure it for your aesthetic pleasure. You should also have some more respect for people who devote time to make boards a better place for you.

If you played HOMM3 for a few months and told the experienced players that they are not playing properly and this is how they should play, you are doing the same thing as being on HC for a few months and telling us how to run it.

Moderators have different styles of doing their job. Some browse the forums while being logged off and log in only when action needs to be taken. As angelito said, some are away due to RL comitements. Some moderators are admins of partner sites.

Supersonic, this month your posing has lost effort and quality. Before I saw you were trying to make an effort, and now you are ready to flame at every opportunity without much thought. I just make this observation as a reflection because I don't think that's how you originally wanted to be on HC.

All I have to say is that there is nothing wrong with the way the forums are right now. I personally think they are quite well moderated. Though you might think some forums aren't watched over all that much, many moderators lurk and may not post hardly ever, but they still are reading and doing their job.

The only inactive moderator in my opinion is Asmodean who has mysteriously vanished since last fall. But I do not think we need to remove him from his position. Something obviously came up in RL that now prevents him from visiting HC. When he has the time again he will return.

I have to agree with Valeriy on this one. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If we really have need for new moderator then we will often ask members if they would wish to apply.

Also several moderators have been very busy in RL and returned to moderating they had the time. MightyMage didn't have internet last summer, but Glade and Other Games never went unmoderated.

The boards are running smoothly and that is what matters most. The fact of the matter is that the people who are currently moderators are good at moderating. We have additional moderators because things happen in RL. People go on vacation, people get busy with finals.

I do have one, the tavern is not moderated at all now with Asmodean MIA, Pandora is busy with her real life stuff and her son, and you can barely spot Shadowcaster visiting HC .

I for one find the tavern an impotant forum of this community and am sad that a few good threads went unnoticed. The only person that is moding the tavern now is just Valeriy and so what's the point of having mods then if you got to do it yourself now...

That is not true. Shadowcaster is looking after the forum. He reads through his forums during his work study which he has multiple times a week. He lurks. Just because you don't see him posting doesn't mean he isn't reading.

ere are some mods that are active less and less overtime and some that I haven't seen even 1 time in the 3 months that I'm a part of this community.


It is often said that the best moderators are seen but not heard. Tey clean the forums, read posts and keep everything in order, without getting too involved in much else. This is true for some forums but not others. For example you would expect a Tavern mod to be an active poster but maybe not a Land of Axeoth mod. Most mods browse the forums logged off too.

Having new mods come in doesnt help anyone. Oldmods are experienced and know how to handle a situation. If you throw all new mods in thing will be out of balance. They probably wouldnt handle an arguement between members well at a fear of being hated.

I could not agree more. Just because you have seen a person posting well over the past few weeks, doesnt mean they are mod material. Check their posts from months, maybe even years before, especially if you are a new member. Your "mod material" member may have stopped posting for a year and just come back, they may have been a spammer, a flamer... you'll never know unless you check.
