Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: ACAMS on May 30, 2009, 03:29:36 AM: If someone wants to volunteer to help keep the showcases clean, we sure need help. There is way too much bashing and posts that need to be deleted/edited and I can't read it all. There is only Madiaba and myself (Clickbeetle sometimes) cleaning the forums and we are both real busy.
Post here if you can help and you will be considered.

Post by: cephalopod on May 30, 2009, 04:52:34 AM: I would help but I'm still a n00b >.<.
I personally think JoeBlo would make a good mod, but that's my opinion :P

Post by: System32 on May 30, 2009, 06:20:41 AM: Heh, Sorry, you just joined. I don't wanna see what happened in other places.

(New admin deletes forum, Moderator bans everyone... yada yada.)

I personally nominate R0B0. Not much opinion to boast, Lots of free time and overall nice guy. He can take a joke and is honest to boot.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Pwnator on May 30, 2009, 06:27:14 AM: Urjak also has the potential to be a great mod.

Post by: System32 on May 30, 2009, 06:28:15 AM: SSG, or reier?

Yay, I remembered!!!

Oh, and Ressetti.

Post by: Flying_Chao on May 30, 2009, 06:42:00 AM: I would make a good moderator, as I don't hold grudges or carry bias, and am on here quite a lot. I am also a good role-model for children.

HAHAHAHAHA

_______

For now R0B0, Inf and Pys are most suited to be mods.

I could add myself in the future.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: System32 on May 30, 2009, 06:56:03 AM: Inf and Pys may be good mods, but don't give them any post editing tools or the banhammer!

haha I feel honored you think that way, but I would say there are other people that have been on here longer then I have which would probably be more deserving,

I would backup

Flying_Chao
Philetbabe (dont know how often he comes online however)
or SSG

hey Naryar why wouldn't you put your hand up ? your on online more then anyone else lol
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Naryar on May 30, 2009, 08:11:09 AM: I would when i'll have more experience - playing RA2 since one year and a half isn't enough IMO.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: somestrangeguy on May 30, 2009, 09:24:29 AM: You guys really think I would make a good mod?

Well, I guess I could, but thats up to ACAMS.

I do come online a few times a day, and most of the time I read all posts. So I could do cleanup when needed.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on May 30, 2009, 09:41:43 AM: I think Sage would be a good choice.

And thank you for nominating me S32 and Naryar :)
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Sage on May 30, 2009, 09:46:50 AM: Thanks R0B0.

I won't nominate myself, I'll just put out there that I come on usually more than once everyday, and am not as big of a noob basher as inf and pysc. (At least, i don't think i am LOL)

Anyways, this is a good idea. I noticed things were getting a little out of hand for the two (three if you count starcore) and one mod that we have.

IMO we need to boost madiaba up to admin and make two new moderators.

Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: kill343gs on May 30, 2009, 12:08:03 PM: ACAMS I would be happy to do it. I myself ran a website for 2 years back in the day. I come on this forum every hour or so when I'm not in school. I feel like I personally have not made much of an impact on this place in the 3 years I have been around and would love to do more for this community. The RA2 community has been a major part of my life since 2006, and I want to be able to give something back.

Post by: Sage on May 30, 2009, 01:17:29 PM: Quote from: System32;41501
how did you get that animation anyway?

I made it.

IN DETAIL:

i made a semi transparent black and white energy wave (won't go into that). next, i keyframed the position of the energy wave so it moved from right to left and back again. and then added a ramp behind it, switched to radial ramp, set the colors to teal and red, (so basically a red dot in the middle that fades to a teal surrounding. i put that behind the semi transparent energy wave so thats where the color comes from. next, i added text in front of the energy wave and keyframed the opacity so it fades in as the wave passes over it. i added a glow to the text as well as a fast blur so that the colors mesh with it better. Last, i added a temperal displacement effect to the text, and put the evolution at time*500 as well as keyframed the amount from 1 to 50. thats where the wave effect comes from. so after getting everything timed just the right way this program also lets you render it directly into an animated .gif. to fix the size i found an online .gif cropper.

Post by: Weirdo on May 30, 2009, 01:30:33 PM: And would that be photoshop you used for the sig or a different program? Its an absolute work of art. Which I guess was the intention.

Anyway after this question's answered we better get back on topic.

Post by: DuckRA2 on May 30, 2009, 01:31:01 PM: Ive been around for a while(I was on the old forums too), but im not always on that much

Post by: Weirdo on May 30, 2009, 01:32:19 PM: Just read sages post on the sig size thread. Not photoshop then?

to answer your question i used adobe after effects cs3

Post by: Naryar on May 30, 2009, 02:41:41 PM: BACK ON TOPIC.

Kill as a mod is a good idea, as well as MikeNCR.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Trovaner on May 30, 2009, 03:09:32 PM: I think Kill would be an excellent moderator because he is on so much, is willing to help, is well liked by everyone (I think), has prior experience, and has been around for a long time.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Somebody on May 30, 2009, 03:21:26 PM: I think that

Flying_Chao

SSG

Kill343gs

or

Urjak

would make good mods.

I officially reccomend Kill, SSG, and Flying_Chao.

Inf, Naryar, and pys could not, and i repeat not be mods, because they would ban people. If your a mod, you can't hold grudges.

I would like to be a mod, but I am not sure I have been here long enough.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: R1885 on May 30, 2009, 03:23:27 PM: I nominate myself:approve:

J.k., I nominate Inf, Sage, and Naryar.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: roboman2444 on May 30, 2009, 03:51:36 PM: i vote for r1885
i also nominate myself(even though i wont get anywhere with it)

Post by: frezal on May 30, 2009, 05:04:22 PM: Whoever gets the job needs to be somebody who doesn't get power hungry. If you become power hungry, revolts will occur (like in the good ol' days back at the official forums). Of course, if it wasn't for the incompetent forum staff at the official boards and at Assuplink, B4B wouldn't have thrived.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Somebody on May 30, 2009, 05:13:35 PM: Definetly someone who is passive, not much flaming from them, well liked by the community, and experienced.

I think that Kill343gs is the ideal choice IMO.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Dexterhunter on May 30, 2009, 05:16:27 PM: What about me?
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: frezal on May 30, 2009, 05:18:21 PM: Those who are in power must be willing to not be liked. When times are tough, people will hate you and rebel against you. You have to be able to not take it personally and do your job anyway.

Of course, it's been years since I've been a moderator, so this is more of advice from an administrator's perspective.

I disagree. I don't think that Urjak or F_C would make good mods. They lack experience. The same sort of goes for Naryar, but he's a bit of a different case. Kill and SSG have both been around since BBEANS 3 and were active on the old forums ('06-ish. I've been around since '05).

Also, I think Inf would make a much better mod than many of you think. He's been around long enough to know what warrants a ban and what dosen't, and I don't think he's a cruel tyrant like a lot of you make him out to be.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: JoeBlo on May 31, 2009, 01:42:19 AM: that's probably true that inf wouldn't put up with any rubbish posts but the moderator would have to be able to put up with low quality posts, showcases and such from new members we don't want to scare people in to not coming here.

But if Inf thinks he is up to it by all means,
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: frezal on May 31, 2009, 02:09:41 AM: Moderators generally don't have the power to ban. On most forum software, that privilege is reserved for the admins.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Pwnator on May 31, 2009, 04:52:18 AM: Cool. Mad's a super mod. I never knew that. XD
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Somebody on May 31, 2009, 06:43:27 AM: If Mods can't ban, then Inf would still probably ravage the forums, but we would all get to stay :biggrin:
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Reier on May 31, 2009, 08:45:18 AM: Kill343gs would be the best choice IMO.
Edit: SSG would also be good me thinks.
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: roboman2444 on May 31, 2009, 09:13:39 AM: yep
kill343gs is the best mod-in-training
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: 40757 on May 31, 2009, 01:39:32 PM: I always thought that Urjak, Jeffery, Kill, and Reier would make the best mods on this forum.

Title: moderator/moderators needed

Anyway we made a tough decision and picked K343GS over you, Hydro and S32....but it was close!
Title: moderator/moderators needed
Post by: Reier on June 01, 2009, 04:13:36 PM: I'm sure Kill will do a good job.
So is this permanent or do we choose them like every 3 months or something?
