Global mods

[hugeblack]

I do not know what the current mods permissions are, but organizing the forum requires a lot of effort, which @admin may not be able to do. Therefore, I suggest adding 3 global mods be appointed to have all @admin permissions except:

 - Accessing sensitive account data such as password, email, and IP addresses.
 - Inability to appoint a new manager.
 - Front-end access and inability to modify the forum code.

Thus, the administrator devotes himself to the back-end, while Global Mods can make modifications to the general appearance of the forum, such as moving topics, creating new boards, closing old boards, and other things that lead to organizing the forum better and faster.

I can not give karma yet,  but if I re-visit this topic any time I am eligible to give out karma, I will give.   This your idea is very thoughtful and it will help the forum to grow faster and get moderated  very well so that scammers can not post any kind of phishing links without it being deleted as soon as it gets reported.  It will help to keep the forum clean. I am not sure if the admin can do all this job alone.

Frankly, I still do not understand the forum well (it may be a silly suggestion), and perhaps the old members have a better point of view, in addition to the fact that the limits of our knowledge of the forum do not exceed two months, and the forum is several years old, but nevertheless, some quick changes may be useful, especially since most of the new members have Successful experiences outside the forum and they want to help.

@hugeblack, your suggestions are good and make sense, but I must say that what you suggest is already being done, not in the direct way you comment, but in other ways. Global moderators, like all types of moderators, have to work to ensure that the forum is as clean as possible of spam, scams, and that users get help as quickly as possible, among other things.

The president and vice president  must monitor requests for new local moderators, which takes time to make sure we choose the right person. Global moderators are chosen by voting, and that is something that needs even more time.  Global moderators already have the necessary tools to move, close, delete threads/posts, we delegate the rest of what you comment to the administrator, and he, with the necessary time, does it.

Everything will be done and move in the right direction, but for this we all need patience.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I agree as well.

Admin should run foruk administration,  not forum moderation.

Move topics, delete posts  , negative karma etc this is all moderators tasks imo.

Admin should be worried about forum development. Maybe he can even hire someone for especific jobs as well.

I apologize again, I do not know how the forum works since we have been here for only two months.
I know that the forum tends not to delete posts, but sometimes having a little useful content is better than a lot of unhelpful and little useful content. Also, some of the newly joined member have sufficient knowledge, so I hope there will be a vote to add 2 or 3 from Telepoerted to be Global mods, or at least they have permissions to move/edit/delete posts throughout the forum.
It is true that strict mods is bad for creating useful content, but some changes are necessary.

Again, we are still learning how the forum works and all these suggestions to improve the forum and not to change it or make it like any other forum.

You don't have to apologize for anything, don't worry.

Let me tell you that the number of posts that are deleted or moved is a considerable amount on a daily basis. I know there are teleported users with enough knowledge to be moderators, but that's not up to me. As I said in another of my posts, this is a somewhat slow process, we must monitor the activity of the candidates to be sure.

Anyway, you can write a suggestion in this subforum and see what the admin and other moderators think, I don't know, maybe it would be possible by giving minimum permissions, but I'm not sure.

My apologies for taking so long to respond.

I think the above listed tasks cannot and has not been performed by the admin alone. He must have delegated some of the moderators.  What we don't actually know is how things work, but however it works, it needs more hands as here is rapidly developing both in trafic and in quality.

Another well thought out suggestion here, and to be honest, I've not actually felt the impact of the global moderators on this forum like I feel it on btt, admin seems to be the only one who is already all around handling all the stuffs that goes on and around on this forum, from moving topics, or deleting the ones that need to be deleted, to banning users who break forum rules, to wiping users karma who are seen to be abusing the karma system, to flagging accounts that engages in any form of malicious activities and so on and so on, admin does everything, and some time ago, I've actually wondered within myself what really are the task given to global moderators to handle on the forum? Or is the "Global moderator" badge the carry around nothing but a decoration on their profile?

We want admin to live long, and to actualize this, the work load on him need to be significantly reduced, just like hugeblack have pointed out, admin should distribute some this tasks to the global moderators, if there aren't enough global mods, I can volunteer myself to become one, distributing the tasks will help the admin focus more on what's really important on the improvements the forum needs, this is lead to a faster improvements and growth of the forum..

I think we should keep in mind that the administrator has a lot of work to do. The administrator can ask for help to do certain things, and whenever we can we will help the administrator, because that is what moderators are for, to help. Let's remember, as I have said on occasion, that we have lives, families, jobs, responsibilities... And that there are many things to do to improve the forum and many requests and suggestions from users, which is totally normal. No one should worry, when the administrator needs help to do more things he will find the right people, in the meantime let him continue working and get some sleep from time to time.

The truth is that you haven't said anything true. There are various moderators that move, delete, send warnings to users and do many other things. The administrator is the one who does those things the least. I understand that you can't see the moderation logs, and that you probably have a lot of imagination, but saying that the global moderator (or any moderator rank) badge is just decoration is disrespectful to many people who dedicate their time and effort to this forum.

Nice suggestion to reduce the stress of the admin and from what you have said, you must have a good knowledge about the moderation work therefore I appeal to the admin to appoint you as one for the global moderators in the forum. You are deem fit to carry out the tasks. And also we need people like to work with the admin. You are a generous person and not like some people that ignore users but you move along with everyone. You must be love by everyone in your compound. admin please grant his request. And I will put this thread in my watch list so I can receive emails from it regularly.to know what is going on here. You are one of the best over there. Take this +karma.

As I already said (in this and other posts) the selection of moderators, especially global moderators, is done after a long time when we talk about "new" users, in this case a teleported user. I am not saying that @hugeblack is not worthy of being a global moderator, he is a very valuable user for his contributions, what I am saying is that everything has a process of monitoring and following up on candidate users. After that time, @hair and I will propose new moderators (local and global) for the administrator to award the badge to the new moderators.

I am already a local mod, and if I chosen as Global, I will try to do the best I can, but since there is a process and it takes some time, it is better to respect the forum rules, especially since I do not know many aspects of this forum.

I'm one of those users who know you're doing good, especially since you are actively attending to the questions of some users, it only shows you are knowledgeable and willing to take action for the better of this forum. If ever there is an open spot and you get chosen as one global moderator, it means you are fit for that role Good luck mate.

I have been assigned as a moderator in a very small board (technical discussion), which has zero spam , I have done nothing so far...  We don't have too much spam here in altcoinstalks
