It's all related. You've criticised mods for not being active. Then a new mod is appointed who does something you don't agree with, and all of a sudden new mods should take a back seat. That's not consistent.

I must say though that given that it is a moderation team, it is their opinion which matters on the matter and if they feel a few guys can stick in the team as they contribute to offline discussions, it is fair enough.
So that's the end of the matter? Don't know about everyone else but discussions about the makeup of the moderating team/the moderating ability of some is starting to get really tedious.

Suggestions about moderating, such as NP's in this thread are fine but at the end of the day if James is happy with the team he has moderating his forum then that should really be it

It's not related gingerfurball. I have criticised that certain mods are not active. I have not said the moderation team as a whole is not active. There is a clear difference between the two. The moderation team does a fine job on the whole.

Certain moderators are certainly not active enough. Guys like Loony Bob and Pickup don't moderate nearly enough.
I'm not sure how you can make such a statement when you're not involved in the day to day running of the site. Surely the guy who runs the site finds them valuable enough to keep them around. Also its not as if they're taking up spots that could otherwise be filled up by others, there is no limit to how many mods there can be.

I didn't raise the point. GFB did by bringing up that topic again.

I mean on site moderating which I CAN see. The other argument is they do the off line moderating activities. As Pasag said if some one can't do both, it would be preferable to have some one who does both as there are enough quality people around who could moderate.

Then why do this?

You don't see the contributions you make and if they make them at all is of no importance if "the moderating team do a good job on the whole". I'm guessing that, for the moment anyway, James is happy with the makeup of his moderating team so can it really be left there? Issues with the way people moderate can be brought via the appropriate means such as email. Suggestions on improving moderation as a whole (this thread) do no harm IMO
But complaining about the moderation team on the open forum does no good for anything nor anyone.

But are there really that many around. Especially those who actually have the time to do the job and who want to do it?

I daresay anyone who ticks all those boxes is already doing the job.

Again, you make it sound as if the old-not-so-active need to make way for the new by stepping down. Its not a cricket team's first XI. If more mods are needed on the front James will appoint some, as he did with gingy, why would there be a need for the two mentioned to step down?

It is a non issue where I am concerned, like I said in the other thread.

I like that mods are deleting posts. Sure give reasons, but keep up the good work peeps
Pretty much echo this. If you think any of my posts violate the forum rules or disrupt the forum atmosphere, please feel free to delete them.
