Runescape Classic Mods

[Kiddofwis]

Why are there two mods there that werent that influential in classic , nor even post in it. And one is there who is bias towards friends.

 

 

 

I think you guys should look over who mods classic and maybe make some one a mod on it that actually still consistently plays classic , posts in that section , and isnt bias.

Haha. But anyway what happened to Vmser? He (or she :oops: ) was a great mod! Especially for the classic board(s) when they were around etc. :D

mods of rsc board = all global mods, not just the ones listed there.

 

The mods listed by the board are there to provide support (say someone has a query regarding that board they can easily find someone to contact) not just to show who owns the board.

This is almost impossible. If we could find a decent player who consistently plays rsc and post well as well as being right for the mod position they would be modding now. To put it bluntly, there are no perfect candidates.

 

 

 

And one is there who is bias towards friends.

 

Now I know the the only reason you made this thread is because you were unhappy with one of the mods. How about taking it to him or any other member of staff if you are unhappy?

 

 

 

I used to have to mod the rsc board a while back and in my opinion the ones listed there are doing a fine job as it is.

Vmser was a good mod. I have no idea why he got demodded. Funny also you quote every question in this topic except for the question why he got demodded :-w .

 

 

 

There are a few others who are capable to be a mod, so saying that there isn't anybody who can mod classic boards on their own is quite weird.

 

 

 

Also, I think the 10-30 people who are still active on the classic boards aren't really happy that people (read: mods) who havn't played the game come tell them how to act. I don't mean you Phil, but it would suprise me if the 3 listed mods @classic boards (apart from das maybe) played classic.

I've reviewed the thread that caused this trouble to begin with, and I agree with Phil in saying that the motivation behind you making this thread is because you're unhappy with one of the moderators. If that is the case, then you shouldn't have brought this matter here at all, but rather contact an administrator about it. Although I agree with what Ard_Choille said: "You all want us to be flexible, so we do it. When we get flexible, you ream us for not enforcing the rules."

If that was meant to be public knowledge, I'm sure Phil would have had no problem answering your question.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but maybe you have a different view of moderator qualifications than the people who actually choose them. Picking moderators isn't exactly an easy process. And the administrators may even know something about someone that you do not.

I hardly see how that can be true. We're not here to tell them how to play the game.. Whether someone is playing RuneScape 2, RuneScape Classic, or not playing either, they still all have to uphold a certain attitude on our forum, which is essentially what moderating is all about. Like Phil said, the people assigned to the forum aren't the only ones who moderate there - global moderators do help out everywhere if/when it's necessary. If there is a thread that needs locking in the RSC forum, I'm not just going to leave it there because you'd rather someone who plays RSC come and handle it.

 

 

 

And most importantly, you guys definitely shouldn't just ignore all problems in hopes that we'll come trotting along to handle it. If you see an inappropriate post or a problematic thread, you should report it straight away and not just assume that a moderator will see it. And if you would like clarification on why a certain thread was locked, PM the moderator who locked it. Or if you disagree with the lock all together, PM an administrator about it.

 

 

 

If you want the moderation to improve in a forum, there's no reason why you can't help it improve by taking a few simple measures.

Finding any new mods on the entire board is difficult to do never mind on one of the slowest boards.

Stop asking about Vmser because you are not getting an answer. We do not release the full private details of people who left staff because it isn't any of your business - it is only of importance to the ex-staff member and the current staff.

 

 

 

Phil and tripsis pretty much said it but I want to add on as well. The requirement for staff to be playing classic in order to moderate the board is silly - there's no reason for that 'rule' to ever come into existence. All of the moderators who look over the RSC board are doing a fine job and are always impartial. If you ever want to ask SPECIFIC questions about a staff action, you may do so via private message to an administrator. I'm guessing this post was sparked because someone's thread was locked today - the one I'm looking at is full of total garbage. It doesn't matter what game you play.. the staff will not tolerate that type of content on these boards. Playing a certain game doesn't give you immunity to any of our rules here. Period.

 

 

 

But go on, continue thinking that we don't understand you or that we are all incapable of moderating the boards we have created. The only goal right now that the staff has is to create a family-friendly environment in which everyone can have a good time. Threads like these that call staff members incompetent and topics like the two that were recently locked in RSC do exactly the opposite. Which is why all three are now locked.

 

 

 

EDIT: This may have seemed a bit harsh but topics that accuse our volunteer staff of being anything but helpful and good-tempered without any evidence do not sit well with me. I'm always open to messages about how to improve the forums. If the subject is regarding staff, again, private message someone - it doesn't have to be me but it shouldn't be posted on the public boards.
