I would do it

Please don't let Thomas do it.

Instead hire players willing to do it for free, that are well respected throughout the community.

I second the vote for HankyPinky.

3.Don't bump a thread just for the sake of bumping. Posting a message just containing "bump" will just be deleted. If you have a valid reason to bump a thread, explain what it is.

and i am the ONLY one who gets reprimanded for it

I would volunteer, if they'd have me. :)

I dont want to do it..... but most of the people that are volunteering for power shouldnt get it....

Could it be a monthly vote ? If it is a perpetual full-time moderation, there is always some people that will leave without warning. Replacing moderators is a complicated process.

It should be entirely Fizzer's (or Mercer's) choice.

there is a reason people ignore the forum...

@ [GRID] OnlyThePie

I sent Mercer a pm about this issue, and his response was that while it does concern him, he cannot promise any improvements in the next 6 months.

Hence the attempt at a temporary fix.


But if you think you can convince Mercer/Fizzer, then I'm all for it :)

I mailed Fizzer a few days earlier, and he said that it was people heres responsibility to use the report player function.

I would agree with more (powerful/active) mods though.

I like this idea, but it will never work because WarLight is Fizzer's personal dominion.

some tips for fizzer:

I think I would be a great forum mod..
I am active, know the rules well, never break them (I think?)
Am willing to do it for free..

by those qualifications I make it in

You forum spam and are disliked by a fair amount of the community.

There's a higher chance of me becoming a Mod and we all know hell would have to freeze over first.

I said 5-7, assuming the people were simply loyal website users who were REVIEWED BY FIZZER/MERCER. NOT VOTED, Voting is an incredibly easy way for people unfit for the position, but capable of buying votes and/or using clan support to win things. I think most of us wouldn't make it, simply because we're so annoying. If we had Mods, I want damn well to be sure they're good.

Lol I know was just commenting on how incredibly beautiful I am in hope that Fizzer would hear :D

You are all moderators. If you see something against the rules, you should report it using the Report button on their profile.

WarLight also has actual moderators that review reports. Every report gets looked at. However, moderators can't do anything when something isn't against the rules. If you see a post that isn't against the rules but you still think it shouldn't be allowed, you need to suggest modifications to the rules that would outlaw it.

When I browse the forums, I find rule-breaking is quite rare. The biggest problem is just low-value content. That is, people posting things that are uninteresting and don't add to the conversation. You can't fix that problem with moderators, since there is no way to design a rule that forbids people from posting things that are uninteresting since everyone has a different definition of what that is.

The real solution to this problem is a voting system, like reddit/slashdot/etc. The high value content gets upvoted and the low-value content gets hidden from view by default.
