It seems the community is ready for a mod body to be put back in place. Here are several things I personally believe would help streamline the process, and assuage the fears that might be inspired in people as a result of the cringeworthy events surrounding the earlier disbandment. That is, this is what I feel would constitute the ideal body.
1- Multiple all-empowered mods. Possibly two or three mainstays, and a few other less consistent but equally respected heads. More on that momentarily.
2- A banned list. An auxiliary to the blacklist, this thread would be in the announcements section, and would be edited by the mods, showing the list of perma-bans handed out, to whom, and why.
3- A visible list of all active mods, just so we know who's there.
And this is who I feel would constitute the ideal moderator corps. If i forgot anyone obvious, I'm sorry.
TOP GUNS. These 2-3 would be the main men, basically fulfilling Wig's old role.
1)Wigbomb
2) Davy/VonHulk (whichever would be willing)
ALL-POWERED, BUT LESS PRESENT
1) Luna. When she talks, people listen. She's a capable mind, and an excellent barmaid.
2) Manfred. When HE talks, people listen. Also, and exceptional bartender.
3) Jacob1000. He's Jacob1000, that's why.
EVERYDAY KICK-AND-MUTERS. This is where it gets tricky.
1) Whiplash
2) Davy
3) Horriblebreast
4) ¥Martin¥
5) (*M)bhfoust
6) ZebraUp
7)Treybien43
111th|Guardian
9) tSwopcamel
10) Kestrel (if his game works)
11) GreyGhost
12) (M*)Bzerkbzerk
13) McFate
14) Yemx
15) Mr. Becken
16)Kevy
17) J
18) Tbuilt
If I forgot someone obvious, I sincerely apologize.
But i feel that we are far enough away from this for the scars to have healed. And if they haven't, they probably never will.
Tell me what you think? Good idea? Bad idea? What needs changing? Who should be included? Who SHOULDN't be included. I value your input. Thanks for reading.
Mac out!
