Patrick would make an awesome mod tbqh. so would polar and ross. snaf would make a good mod in the tech talk and modeling related areas. Korn would be good in the CE and h2v areas. somebody who is trustworthy and has beat H3 would be good in that section so zeph doesn't have to ruin his pretty little head about spoilers. Teekie perhaps for that job?
solution: make me an anti-idiot-mod.
with the power to give idiot-infractions.
fear me.. fear me..
I think we need mods who aren't really strongly tied to the community (therefore having little bias or a buddy system with other members), yet however are responsible and trustworthy. Having a "lets make the most popular members mods" system won't work out for the better.
well i generally don't give a shit about anything or anyone for that matter.
and if i do give a shit, it's usually negative feelings, so everyone is equal to me. if snaf is being an idiot, ill GLADLY take the opportunity to rip into him, or anyone else for that matter.
You all keep saying "no people with lots of rep are the problem"
then the others say "no you don't have rep therefore your the problem"
Now, I dunno about you guys, but It seems that the rep system is causing problems. The problem being, the very argument of rep itself.
Eliminate rep, and all is well. Hierarchal systems shouldn't be judged by how many green bars of shit you have, or how few.
If someone is awesome, everyone will know it. If someone is a complete asshole, everyone will know it. People with red rep could have gotten it for no reason at all, and thus are looked down upon. These people then, as said previously, look up in hate at the green repped giants.
Let the users actions themselves in the community heighten or lower their rep, not by bars, but by genuine respect.
If you think rep doesn't cause problems, your neglecting the very fact that we are even having this fucking discussion.

way to contradict
if by "you all", you mean "all the people with little rep" then no, they arn't "all" doing it. some are and their creating a bad name for the rest of them. and for that matter, who are "they"? where do you draw the line between not much and heaps (and a middle ground if you like). I don't have a massive amount of rep but I think the system is fine.
so ignore those who winge about it :/
what hierarchal system? :S
how will "everyone" know it? there will be new members who won't have a clue about how the community fits together. I was one of these people, fresh out of the halomaps forums and didn't have a clue how the community fit it's self together. everyone was pretending to be gay with everyone else but then saying how they weren't gay. there where inside jokes like ross posting and atty's attyness (which I still havn't figured out >.>). the rep numbers gave me an idea of where people fitted in.
people who've been around long enough to know the community like you or I would find that fine. again, when i was starting here I had no idea what people where doing and rep gave me an idea (people with lower rep but who (from the few posts i'd seen) made good posts where just posters and didnd't really contribute in terms of models, skins, maps etc). you can still see that now. the only reall exception to the rule is atty.
If you object so strongly to the rep system, why don't you go and dissable your own?
besides, rep isn't the point of this thread (and here we are getting offtopic again.)
Dane, you're missing the point entirely. If someone's bitching about rep, it's typically because they don't have much. As far as I'm concerned, that should be warnable. The system is fine unless it's abused, and the only ones abusing it are the kids who cry about not having any, but then go and spam everyone else with - as well. Those sorts of members shouldn't even be here.
Also, stop asking for me to be a mod, I'm serious. I don't know what the fuck you guys are expecting, but I can tell you right now that if I was given mod powers, half the site's userbase would've been gone long ago. I come down equally hard on everyone, but the long-time members generally don't fuck up. I wouldn't be biased, I'd just be far too strict.
I think all these problems are a result of the limitations of "text" as a serious social medium. Anyone feel me?
Yeah.
Can't bitch at someone for not typing legibly if you're talking to them.
