Congrats to Jokers (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;u=45030) on becoming our latest global moderator!
Having joined the forum in 2018, Jokers became our fifth Mythical member (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=181331.0) of the forum in March 2020, won the Best Moderator Award (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=314582.0) in 2023, and has been a moderator of various sections for as long as anyone can remember. As an integral member of the moderating team, they have worked closely with Presidents and admin in moderating the forum; in particular against spammers and AI bots, as well as multi-accounts. Voted on by other global mods and approved by our President, Jokers has become the latest appointment to our GM team since 2021.

Congratulations to Jokers for the new role. I don't fully know what his role will be, but the rank suggests he will be moderating subboards and their moderators as well. It looks like a heavy task, but his promotion says he is the right candidate, although I don't know what's the system here to promote him to this rank as I am not very familiar with the senate and president system of the forum yet.
Cuz I thought what do I have to do with it haha. Again congratulations to Jokers from my side and best of luck too.

Congratulations to Jokers on his new responsibilities. He/she is quite active and knowledgeable person. And his forum activity definitely deserves to be a global moderator. Thanks for giving him this responsibility. Hope it will improve the forum for good. And he can play a very good role in the global. Congratulations again to the Jokers and best wishes for him/her

Congratulations @Jokers. :)

Thank you for the congratulations! :)

There's not so many changes as for now. I could moderate mostly everywhere before that as well, so just some more technical functions. ::)

Welcome back to the English side ;D

To elaborate on this a bit, before Jokes was a mod of various sections, and now as global mod he is a "site-wide" mod (so can moderate the entire forum). Technically speaking, this is the only notable change to being promoted to global mod. There are other permissions that have been granted, mainly to do with punishing users (giving strikes and such), though these aren't exclusively global mod permissions either, and they had access to some prior to promotion anyway.
Jokers role is otherwise to carry on as they were doing, simply with more reach over the forum as well as it's users. This also means they no longer require global mod support when moderating, as they are able to deal with all topics. Previously they could warn/moderate a user, but not necessarily deal with all the posts for example, so this promotion is very much for technical reasons more than anything.
He was otherwise voted on by other global mods (as part of a gruelling 16 months process may I add), as explained in the original post. I wouldn't say he moderates other mods though, that job is mainly for President, VP, or admin, even though may act in a support role for mods of other boards, as global mods usually do.

Jokers, congratulations on your progress. Now you have more new responsibilities, although I noticed you are active all over the forum, so I believe that you will manage to handle the new duties ;)
-
I can only say that every new function that @Jokers gets on this forum is fully deserved considering that he is one of (at least for me personally) those members who are the most active in their duties on the forum.
I join in the congratulations and wish him much success on the forum in the future.
-
Thank you for the congratulations! :)
Hey I thought you were already a global mod! As I saw you as moderator in some boards.
Congrats, one of the oldest forum members and certainly one of the most active in all discussions. I always see your posts in so many boards. Congrats.
-
Well, I don't really care how long he has been a moderator here and I also do not care if he won 2023 best moderator or not. I also do not care if he is among the oldest users or not. All I care and know is that, he is fit and qualified for whatever promotion, post or title given him in this forum.
I remember when I newly teleported here, he was readily available answering all my questions and providing assistance. Congratulations on your well deserved promotion and/or recognition.

A promotion always mean more work right? Haha. :P
You deserve the all kind of congratulatory as you are good in moderating and even answering forum related questions, and now a promotion. What could be these technical functions, is it like recovering an account? Banning for extent level, and etc.
-
Congratulations to Jokers!!
-
Thank you all for your warm words, I'm very pleased! :)

I guess many things can surprise you, but I had an option to partly moderate mostly all over the forum before as well. Now I have more tools, but... ::)
A promotion always mean more work right? Haha. :P
Yes, you are right! ;D

As for banning, I had this option for years, but we tend to give our users second chances, so I usually ban only obvious SEO spammers, in most other cases we try to convince users to stay in the boundaries of rules. As for recovering of accounts, than, as far as I know, no, I don't have such functions and I don't think there's a need of having such for mods, it's more like admin's duty. There are more technical things like more options on posts editing, etc.
-
That is a great news congratulations to Jokers who get his new job. I am not totally sure what he will be doing but it looks like he will be in charge of some sections of forum and people who help run them. This is big job but I think he can do it. I am still learning how forum works but it is clear that Jokers deserves this chance. I want to say congratulations and good luck to him in his new role. I am excited to see good things he will do.
-
I've always thought (and said) that Jokers is a moderation machine and an example to follow. I don't think there is anyone else on this forum who deserves that promotion right now.
My sincere congratulations Jokers ;).
-
Congrats to Jokers on getting promoted, but that usually means he is going to have more work and more responsibilities in forum.

Ok thanks for telling and Best of luck

Thanks a lot for the thorough explanation. Now I understand what more he got in the promotion and I realize it is a big achievement. Speaking of voting, there's a whole lot of politics going on here. Haha, I mean, he was voted by other global moderators, and he is now under the monitoring of the President, VP, or Admin, right?
Overall, I got his role here, just wondering if he will be getting paid for that :D :D

Just because Jokers is now a global moderator does not mean that he is under the supervision of other global moderators or the administrator. Jokers (like the other moderators) knows what he is doing and in case anyone has doubts about how to act in a certain situation, we all try to reach a conclusion. We all try to follow the rules, maintaining some flexibility and personal judgment.
Overall, I got his role here, just wondering if he will be getting paid for that :D :D
No, neither Jokers nor the other moderators receive payment. We receive a bonus in the distribution of forum tokens and sometimes to the best moderator, that is something the administrator decides.

Thanks for the correction, actually, I misunderstood here, as dragon said he is not going to moderate other moderators but the VP and admin will. And I thought he was saying he would be moderated by them. My bad. Overall, thanks for the answer to the payment question. I wish the best of luck to all of you. Maybe someday more people will be willing to become part of such a team.

I meant President/VP/admin are responsible for monitoring mods, I didn't mean global mods to clarify. As freemind put it the only reason global mods are in the position they are in is because they no longer require supervision.

Yeah now I understand. Thanks again for the clarification. It's a big responsibility, though I mean no supervision that's like he is free haha. In the real world, giving such power to a political leader will do bad things to the economy not saying he is bad, just to clarify just sharing my thoughts. :D

Not requiring supervision does not mean global mods aren't supervised though, that's maybe another point I didn't explain well here ;)
Global mods are also able to all keep an eye on each other through mod logs, even if president/admin hold that responsibility to make sure there aren't issues. We all make mistakes and all it takes is a pm from another global mod to resolve simple issues, without needing interference from anyone with "more" power. We've otherwise never voted in a bad global mod, simply because it's always been based on their moderating ability being at a high enough standard already.
We also often work together to resolve issues, there's a lot behind the scenes that users don't see basically. It might give the impression that global mods all work independently from each other and without any supervision or oversight, but that's far from how it really works, even if GMs often work in their own ways and in different areas of the forum.

congratulations jokers. you deserved it

So basically, you guys are working as a team and helping each other out with each other's mistakes and problems. That's the kindest thing, I mean, you are teaming up to make this forum more moderated and regulated. I mean, you must not be working as those fellows working in a corporate company who aren't really kind to each other. Haha, I like your teaming.
And yeah, I realize that you guys must have picked a mod most suitable for this team. Thanks again for another explanation. Best of luck to you all, and I think he is a senator now as well (Jokers).

Jokers moderator is 💯% active. If you report a Post in his jurisdiction. When 24hours, your report has be activated. I really love those active moderators in the forum. There is a board that I have made reports but the moderator is not active as before again. So things are not deleted it should be. Freemind is an another active user in the forum that responding to reports very fast. And admin is the fast. Whenever they come online and see any report, they would key into action. Hey!!! Jokers sorry it is coming late. Congratulations.

Let me use this medium to congratulate @Jokers for the successful winning over the race, truly his commitment and years of exposures to the forum tells from these and were all accounted for, this is not about being the most perfect candidate, but time and chance brought about the grace over him to be elected, others that have participated in the same contest also deserve it and more, but i wish there could be more opening later in future where they could best fit in better.
congratulations.
