Moderator shuffle and recruitment
Soldat Forums - Misc - Forum News and Support
DNA.styx
March 28, 2004, 2:21 pm
We've had a couple of retirements in the moderator team:

toadsMoke: is getting hit hard with RL, but he'll still be coming to the forum to help out with folk's networking problems :)

NightCabbage: The king of the bugs forum has gone AWOL again. :(

All in all I would like to thank toad and NC for all their help over the last months. Cya guys. :(

So with that in mind it's time for a wee bit of a moderator shuffle.

b00stA's now helping out with the General forum.
Meandor is now helping enjoyincubus keep law and order in the Suggestions forum.

So that leavs us with several forum that we need extra help with. So I'm going to do as I've done before and opened the decision to the soldat community. You can nominate a new moderator, the top 5 names that keep coming up will be sortlisted and the current mods will have the last say on who get's the position(s).

RulesYou can vote for yourself
Try to give a reason why you/the person should be a mod (and being 'da man' or '1337' isn't a valid reason [:O])
You can't post for more then one 'vote' for the same person
You have to have been with the forum for at least two weeks month to vote (so no registering new accounts just to vote for yourself [:)])
Voting will close Friday 2nd of April, the new mods will be notified by the following Monday (subject to RL getting in the way)



The forums that we need the help with are:

Server Corps - must have server admin experience
Need Help? Report Bugs! - must be a daily visitor to the forum to moderate new posts, and not get pissed off with newbie's who doesn't read the FAQ (or with our dodgy forum search page [:(] )
Fan Art and Movies - got the demo skillz? Could be you.
Fan Apps -
The Lounge -
General FAQ - I also need someone to start updating the FAQ section on the forum with current bugs, delete/edit old ones.
So if you are up for the job or know someone who is, let me know.
Note: misc chatter will be deleted from this thread

hitman for fan art and movies.
chakra for the lounge.

Hitman
March 28, 2004, 4:50 pm
*Cough*

I'd love to be the Fan art and Movies Mod, cause I myself have made 4 Soldat Movies which have been very popular. Also seeing as I am now stuck at home most of the time (You people should know why by now) My Laptop is almost constantly connected to the internet, and I check the forums often. However, seeing as there isn't very much posted in that section, my time spent just moderating that section would be a bit of a waste. I can help out in almost every section (expect 'Server Corps') and seeing as I'm constantly online I could also moderate the bugs section, so people have their questions answered quicker [:)]. So, maybe another General Moderator like b00stA wouldn't hurt.

palloco
March 28, 2004, 6:35 pm
I vote Hitman for moderator because he spend most of his life here, so he will try to improve it.
For server corps I vote n00bface, since he runs one of the most used servers and he also spent a lot of time here.
Add to reasons of both, a nice behaviour.

kevith
March 28, 2004, 9:12 pm
Well, I think that Hitman and Chakra could be pretty good with those respective forums. I would also like to nominate... kevith aka Me.
- I've been a member for over a year.
- I play a lot of Soldat.
- I visit the forums at least daily.
- I try to make sure my posts are useful and not flame anybody.
- I might not know everything (...yet), but I'm a pretty quick learner.
- I think I tend to be pretty patient/friendly with the new guys.
I'm not sure how you'll decide who moderates what, but I post quite a bit in the "Need Help/Post Bugs" Forum. I'd really just be willing to help out wherever necessary.

I vote me, Stalky aka Sauron_the_deceiver

I was the second Sx3 moderator, I've played Soldat for 2 years, I am trusted as a beta tester (albeit not on this account, don't suppose you could add me to the list, Styx?), I can be serious when I need to, I need something to occupy my time in the evenings when I'm bored [:P], and I know how the Snitz forums work, as I have administrated a community before.

kevith. I'm sorry, but Hitman doesn't seem like a mod to me.

enjoyincubus
March 28, 2004, 11:34 pm
Server Corps - I can help out if no one else can be found. I'm not the king of running a server, but I can fix problems and keep order there.

Need Help? Report Bugs! - ...no idea...

Fan Art and Movies - Hitman. Plain and simple.

Fan Apps - Let us go with Stalky here. Stalky must have something to do. Besides, he deserves a mod spot after he was just thrown off of the Sx3 throne abruptly.

The Lounge - Chakra can have fun ruling the Lounge. It can be a fun job, and he's got a good sense of humor. I'd trust him with my earmuffs...why not give him a moderating spot? :)

General FAQ - Bleh, this job has got to be punishment...I don't want any enemies, so I'll say "DELETE FORUM". :p

General Moderator - Hitman. He can help out in various areas...basically anything but Server Corps.

Hmm, whats happening about Soldat Striker? I never see him posting around these days...

I'm also having trouble thinking of someone who could take on the bugs forum. Maybe b00sta could be shifted up to bugs forum moderator, then another general moderator could be selected.

I'd be happy to moderate Fan Apps, and I could help out in Need Help? Report Bugs! forum - if the job requires anything past approving posts, I'm a beta tester so I know whats happening in the bugs department. I'll give a hand with the FAQ section if its needed, too.

Chakra
March 29, 2004, 6:45 pm
me? mod for the Lounge? ..no thanks peeps. I may be a nice guy (on so many levels), but I can't be arsed cleaning up kid's mess.

Hitman
March 29, 2004, 7:43 pm
Shame, you would've been good.

Well, with Chakra out of the picture, I vote for BMF as the mod for the lounge! I'm not gonna start explaining why cause it'll seem like I'm brown nosing him, although it seems to be quite the thing lately..

palloco
March 29, 2004, 7:53 pm
LOL, with BMF in the lounge noone would dare to post new threads there

March 30, 2004, 9:49 pm
I'm not just voting these cos everyone else is. I've known Stalky for a while and we're close mates.. as for Hitman, I'm more than sure he'd be a great mod for the Fan Art and Movies forum..
Fan Apps - Stalky .. As for the others, I really dunno yet.

March 31, 2004, 12:15 am
Yeah BMF would be a good lounge mod, he would keep spam down.

BMF
March 31, 2004, 11:41 pm
Hitman is my good buddy, i think he will do fine as a moderator. My vote goes for him.

EDIT now that i have read the thread, Stalky is a good candidate too. So i vote for both of them.

Hitman
April 1, 2004, 12:36 am
Thanks man. Shame you don't want to do it though.

what about bot forum? that little place....i'd love to make it my home.... i know (or have a very goo hunch) alot about bots and how they work and such. it's not even that big of a forum. i vote me for bot forum, and hitman for whatever the heck he wants, cause i love him.

Hitman
April 1, 2004, 10:33 am
I think you'd be great as lounge mod; keep everyone in their place. Got my vote anyways.

Server Corps - Xalion umm and that one australian guy i don't remember his name he had 100mbit server and he was also beta tester arc something :/ (mariachi)

Need Help? Report Bugs! - b00sta / meandor / stalky

Fan Art and Movies - Urhos, Tattoo & b00sta ^^ they know lot of making soldat videos

Fan Apps - umm not sure about this maybe that pr0ger guy who made diamond demo player/soldat statictic 1.2

The Lounge - Hercule Poirot / chakra :P i visit like 2-4 times on here forums usually on time beetween 10am to 7pm gmt+2 i have nothing else to do than just browsing through forums :O also The Bash Pit is interesting place but few months i have only reply to new maps area if enjoy need help im the man for that job or meandor

Well, I've been on vacation so I didnt see this topic yet :p (Thanks for the nominations :D)

Anyhoo, here is how I'd like to see this forum;

Fan Art and Movies - Hitman (need I say more?)
Server Corops - Me (n00bface) -- Well, I have a very nice linux server that I run, and I also know plenty about the client it uses :p I'm not a wiz at the Windows server, but I've helped about 50% of the current linux servers get up and running :] I've also got a posse of Linux loving groupies that can put some input into my corps posts :p


Ah, and thank you for yer nominations already :p I didn't think too much of running until i realized people actually loved me..]

And a little edit;

Despite there already being a mapmaking and bot forum moderator (I think) ... I really think peemonkey should be a mod for both of those forums.. being restricted to forums cuz of his poor connection, he really knows a lot about mapmaker and making bots and has given people plenty of assistance in the making of both :p

Heh, this should be interesting. I'm looking forward to who gets it. I wouldn't mind being Lounge mod, or whatever, but I'd have to spend too much time on here, which I don't like. Anyways, I think Hitman's mature, so he'd do well at whatever. Same goes for BMF and Stalky. I don't know much about their respective talents, but they're all smart guys who seem good natured and humourous.
