Otter Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Now - before you think I'm kissing ass here - Anuj is a dirty cocksucker and I had sex with his mom like a hundred times. So now that it's obvious that I'm not sucking up to him - I'd like to suggest that 'Nuj be given cotrol of, or be appointed as OB's partner in, the PGC. The place is starting to hop back up onto her hind legs, and we need a hint of guidance around there. OB's great and all, but he's just not around often enough, and he can't articulate himself well enough to diffuse situations when they arise - unfortunately ending in unilateral action s that can, and have, killed activity in the PGC. If it's not even on the table, I'd just like to put it foward as a suggestion. Who's with me? Who's against me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauron Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 GNAG RACE But seriously, what will appointing another gang moderator do? Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 I think it'll just give us all another person to deal with when need be. The PGC is lacking in that department - and it's a tricky job for just one dude anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWEETSAPRIK Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Meh, I didn't mind Naomi in the slightest, although it seems I'm in the minority there. (Not counting that whole mandatory banner "joke" fiasco.) She was around, accessible, and that one topic she made was pretty helpful until it was gutted (picked apart bit by bit) by whoever. That said, what does anyone need from a gang mod? That isn't a sarcastic question either. What exactly is it you need done that isn't being done by OB that makes you feel the need for another gang mod/admin/ledby? Regardless of your answer, anuj would obviously get my COMPLETELY UNBIASED vote. Now I'll admit that since I don't run a gang your needs might be different, but aside from a single PM I once sent earthbound I've never needed anything from a gang mod. PяopagaиdaIиc.

Otter Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 From a leadership perspective, it's nice to have a gong mod for a few reasons. Enforcing topic bans, so we don't need to get the rest of the already over-worked staff involved, for one, but even for more nitpicky sh*t, like the recent rules regarding 50 page topic locks, etc. It'd be nice to have a single guy taking care of that in the PGC. That said, it's nice to have a moderator on your homecourt, a guy who pays attention to the recent goings on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermanblue Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hell yeah nuj for gang mod #2. I like OB and all but he just isn't that active. With Anuj being on everyday I think it's a natural choice. Leone Family Mafia ПРОПАГАНДА.ИНЦ, СИЛВЕРМАНБЛУЕ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Rockstar Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) I would agree! He's always on top of thigs, look at my karma log for example! Three of 10 Verbal warning(two were the same warnings at the same time) came from him! So yeah, do appoint him to standby mod for the PGC! EDIT - Speaking of mods, we need to get one in the Sports section, since those two assclowns are never around!

Jay Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 OB's great and all, but he's just not around often enough, and he can't articulate himself well enough to diffuse situations when they arise You have balls my friend. Little water weasel balls. I tell you what, having him appointed merely to take down the large topics would be a plus - because topics there get to 1000 replies quicker than any part of the forum.

Justin Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 EDIT - Speaking of mods, we need to get one in the Sports section, since those two assclowns are never around! Joey's around a bit. I find when the Aussies are losing and the Poms are winning at cricket, he pops his head around a tad more than usual. If you're serious about it, Jay(zaprick) would do a fine job. It'd be nice to see some convict/motherland rivalry in the sports moderating duties, methinks. anuj would be my choice for a gang moderator as well, but as far as I'm concerned, he's perfectly able to lock topics with his current permission masks. In fact, all that would chance would be his member title and that he'd receive priority for gang scene reports. More formalities than anything.

Waddy Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Great idea. anuj or even RD coming back and doing a bit, he has done it before and he is active ish around the forums (well I see him on the members list a bit) A PGC ledby can never work without a full gang mod being present, thats why Naomi failed so quick. She couldnt get in touch with the gang mod to run things by, and when she took things into her own hands it was turned down because it wasnt talked put past the gang mod, the old catch 22. So if a full mod of the forums was to partner OB then atleast they would have the authority to make snap decisions without consulting OB first. On the other hand, I PM'ed anuj last week to move someone into the official group, He was online at the time, if he hadnt of been I would have waited for the next person in blue and then PM'ed them and im sure of the same outcome. I guess anything that does need doing in the PGC could be handled by any mod who happens to be online...They are global after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 At first I thought this was for promiting Anuj to an admin. What's the point of having another gang mod? Nothing against Anuj, I wouldn't mind him being a gang mod at all, but we don't really need one. Atm, I'm for it, I just don't understand why you think we need another..

Otter Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Emo, you've only been around for a couple of months, and you're on the fast track to officialization - a fact that I find kind of funny, but that aside from my point - having a gang mod means that we won't have to rely on other busy mods, like GT1, for example, to come fix up our problems for us. anuj is "gang scene friendly," meaning he's never griping about resources being pulled away from other areas of the board ... because the gang scene, especially the PGC, is one of the most unique things on the ENTIRE INTRAWEBZ. Like Waddy just said, anuj jas already been the go-to guy fo. Let's bump him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT-1 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 If the staff are stretched (in your opinion), then how is taking a moderator who can, and does already moderate the mentioned forums going to be of any help? All the current staff are more than capable of moderating the gang scene, especially as far as what's been mentioned in this topic. like the recent rules regarding 50 page topic locks, etc. It'd be nice to have a single guy taking care of that in the PGC. I locked about 30 topics recently, a few of which were in the PGC. If we have a special member just to take care of locking topics in the PGC, should we have one for every forum with a few large topics? Certain topics around other sub-forums will reach a large amount of replies fairly quickly also, all the staff are more than capable of closing them. From what I understood of Waddy's post, he just confirmed that anuj is one of a few staff who show their online status. If anuj wants to move groups and have exactly the same permissions as he has now, then no-one on the staff will stop him. However, even if he was to move groups it wouldn't stop any of the other staff from moderating the forum differently than they currently do (as mentioned above). The large majority of the content mentioned in here is forum-wide not specific to the PGC, only the small nitpicking PGC questions stands I guess.

Otter Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) I'd just like to clarify that anuj hasn't said or done anything to prompt me to make this topic. Sorry, edit: In response to the 50page issue. The PGC is a major producer of 50 page topics - just look at the Zaibatsu. Fifty pages in one week. If we have a gang-specific moderator handy to help us keep tabs on the PGC rules, 50 page limits, recruitment guidlines and so forth, then we won't have to deal with sh*t like muffins opening a new topic for the Zaibatsu. If this sounds like greek to you, it's understandable, because not many among the administration hang out regularily in the PGC, and knowing the full scope of any given situation clearly helps one make administrative decisions. ... I'm not complaining, just suggesting. Edited February 23, 2007 by Otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddy Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Otter, When I made the reference about anuj helping me out, I was saying that it was just as easy for me to PM an online mod, rather than a gang mod, Im sure all mods can just as much double up as a gang mod anyway. nuj just happened to be online. The muffins saga was easily sorted, he made a mistake, I requested a lock via the report post function, just so happens by the time I made the new topic the old one had been locked. So us being able to do this when the topic gets that big is pretty easy. While I feel that an active gang mod would be a good thing, like you said, I still think that any staff member online would be able to do anything needed doing...kinda thing.

Pat Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I never really thought of it that way, Otter. I guess you're right, it would help. I'm just not sure how he would react to it. Like I said in my post, I'm for it, I just didn't understand what the purpos was. Btw, I'm not sure how to take that thing about me being on the fast track to officialization. I only got into the Badfellas around December, so I've still got a while to go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have a gang-specific moderator handy to help us keep tabs on the PGC rules, 50 page limits, recruitment guidlines and so forth, then we won't have to deal with sh*t like muffins opening a new topic for the Zaibatsu. So if anuj took up the position all the other staff should ignore topics in the PGC that reach 50+ pages? I guess we should wait for anuj or O'Brien to lock them in exactly the same way I, or any other staff member would lock them. You are talking about generic moderating, whether or not the PGC reaches 50 pages quicker than the other forums, it doesn't make a difference. The muffins incident was not specific to the PGC, a topic in modding was re-created by a random member. It was locked so the the mod author could post/edit info in the first post. anuj knows that if he wants to have the gang moderator label, then no-one will stop him. anuj becoming a gang moderator would not stop of the rest of the staff from carrying out everyday duties in the PGC, like you seem to believe it should. Take note that I'm discussing the moderating of the forum (which is about 2/3 of your argument), and not specific PGC queries a gang moderator may be asked.

Otter Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) Look, all I'm saying is that the gang scene needs more well-defined rules, balanced enforcement, and a gang mod who's actually online. I don't have a problem with OB, but honestly, he's vapourware lately. This is no reflection on the abilities of any other global mod - they can and do take care of the majority of the problems at the moment. But if we want t set up a system in the PGC, for instance, where a mod will keep a topic open for a grace period of a page or two until the gang can recreate their topic, it'd be appreciated. It'd also be nice to see the recruitment area cleaned up... it's been a f*cking gong show lately. And because the PGC has specific rules and regulations of its own, we can't expect all of the moderators to be privy to the way things work - nor should they have to trouble themselves. Bottom line - we need a little staff prodding in there once in a while - but sympathetic and interested prodding. Edit: I suppose a point of contention here could be the title of this topic - I don't mean to imply that a "gang mod" is above a "regular mod" with the word promotion. It was a poor choice.

Rob. Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I thought OB was a global mod like any other, and it was just that his name was red and he was a "Gang Moderator", is there any difference? Would changing anuj to a "Gang Moderator" allow him to do more PGC related actions? My guess is no. anuj is already prominent in the official and unofficial gang scene, i'm sure the current situation is fine for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anuj Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Here's the decision: I'll try and stop by more often. I'm not going to become a gang moderator though because I like my current position.

I'm not going to become a gang moderator though because I like my current position. But I will come and try and help out the gang scene as much as possible. I think this is the best idea. Is there any difference in power between a Gang Moderator and a Moderator when it come's to dealing with problems in the PGC? I really don't think there is. If anuj plans to help out with the PGC then what's the point in simply changing his member group to Gang Moderator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
