SRL Archive - Senior News and General

Well, the reason n3ss3s posts so much is to get his activity bar up, because he thinks that will make him a mod (99.9% sure. Was pretty much confirmed in summilion = mod thread). And I'll admit, I used to think that too, which was why I may have posted a bit too much myself.

So I think an admin/moderator needs to make a thread in the FAQ of not exactly what to look for in a moderator, or else the people who want to become mods would change themselves and do exactly that, but just pointing out the things that people think will make them a mod, but wouln't (activity, high post count…etc.).

Just an idea, because I think that's causing almost all of the spam for the members. Why else would they do it? They think they look better if they do and they'll become SSRL/moderator/dev/whatever.

Discuss.

Or we can ignore them are bar them from entering the above mentioned…
Remember trying to get into SSRL means you never will

The thread wont be long..
It'd just be "be yourself", it wont help if you try to act like someone else.

So are you saying that for instance r0b0t1 wants to become a moderator? He spams a lot, but not with the purpose of becoming a mod. Most of the members just like have a bit of fun. I think the only two who are trying to get moderator are you and n3ss3s..

Lol, if it was for post count creeps like me would be in charge here xD Don't want to imagine the world of that kind…

Maybe not even n3ss3s. :rolleyes:

I wouldnt mind being mod :D

Before I became an SSRL member I wanted to become a dev, not really a mod. Since then my activity has dropped and there isn't really any chance of me making anything else for Runescape. I think everyone's goal is to move up in standing in the community. R0b0t1 wants to be well-known, whether or not it is in a good way. N3ss3s wants to be noticed, seeing as he posts on virtually every thread.

I'm not trying to become a mod anymore… :p

But I think like many others here I wouldn't mind becoming one. You probably wanted to become one too until a few weeks ago, no?

Anyways, I do think there were a lot of people that posted a lot because they thought that was the way to becoming a moderator. And you don't think you'll be noticed if you don't post a lot because of all the others that do.

There is nothing wrong with being light hearted and having some fun IMO, but there also is a line that people constantly cross and aren't serious enough when they need to be.

I admit that about 1 in 40 posts from me is not really needed, but I don't spam. I always try to be on-topic, and if I can't, I only post in special situations :p But yea, the thread would be a good idea even though Nielsie pretty much summed it up in his post. Now we're at it, there should also be a thread on "How to moderate" for SSRL.

@Hobbit: I hope you're not meaning it like that. My attitude is light-hearted all the time :p

-Knives

I'm not saying that we shouldn't be light hearted all the time, we probably should. Its just that some people don't realize that there is a time to fool around and a time to not fool around.

I'm sorry for the gravedig, and sorry to tell you Jad - that you were wrong :p Didn't I post there that I didn't mean it that way?

I was afraid of that people would ignore my edit and think the way you did… omg..

But yeah, you wont get mod for much posting, just high activity bar.

Anyone notice you can see that sentence two ways?

a) "You only get mod for high activity bar"
b) "Posts give you only a high activity bar, not a moderator status"

and b) was what I meant to say :p

Though funny conversation you guys have up here :)

Though shame I've given so bad image of myself that people think that I'd be that much of a shithead that I'd think activity = mod rofl…

All water under the bridge :p

Glad it is :)

By the way, you can close this right?

Now I have to go find other interesting conversations :p

Gravedigger.

There is no point in closing topics in SSRL section

1) We are all supposed to be mature and realize when a topic is dead and just not post in it at all. I'm sure all of us can do that
2) Occasionally new SSRL (such as yourself) want to discuss existing threads
3) Occasionally topics are rediscovered which we want to discuss again
4) There aren't that many posts in SSRL section.
5) You can all open and close threads anyways…

Raymond, no need to spam in this section

Thanks Star.

Oh, and well I really have no need for 'discussing' this, just wanted to make sure this thing is 'clear' or so…

It says we can, but we can't ;)

Maybe Star is saying he's going to change that? (hopefully) :)

It'd be better than infracting nyways…

Nielsie said that we can only open/close our own threads, but I do hope too that some day we could close / open any threads…

Then your all moderators (h)
