Graham Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Cleaned up the main page a bit and created a new Macross Events Page, although it's still rather rough and needs a lot of submissions to grow.

me3 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 So are the mini-mods basically just friends of the admin who can go around and close topics they don't want to see? Just curious, because I had a topic locked/closed because someone posted a pic of a rick hunter doll, and he stated that as the reason. I realize the desire of the site admin to make their jobs easier, but just be careful who gets 'chosen'. People who are given power usually cannot resist using it, usually for no good reason. Don't want to turn this board into a super censored site like robotech.com. Same thing happened there a while ago, and it drove a lot of people away. Now there are almost no new posts, and even less new members. I have seen a lot of members disappear along with all their posts. Now it is dead, thanks to a few. Just be careful and don't be a draconian if you get to be a mod... BTW- I didn't know where else to post this, if it's in the wrong spot. Says I cannot create topics in the site info category.

JsARCLIGHT Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) Actually I closed that topic becase it had no point. It was a retread... we've talked about that into infinity here. Admittedly you have not but you could have just read the pinned HG hate thread and vented in there rather than starting a new thread. We left it open for a while to see what your real reason for starting that thread in the first place was but the usual MW motley band of thread ruiners decided to step in and just start spouting nonsense. I locked it because it started off bad and it was going to end bad. I did not jack boot you because of your opinions I jack booted your thread because basically you lit a fuse to a big stack of dynamite and walked away. Edit: Go Here to discuss that topic. You are able to discuss this topic here freely without fear of people dumping on you. Again I did not close your thread due to it's content but due to it's nature.

Hurin Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 It seems to me that the difference between a MW Mod and MW Mini-Mod is that the Mini-Mods acutally take the time to explain what they are doing and why rather than assuming that 95% of MW members outside their immediate circle of old friends are idiot whiners who deserve no explanation. I can't remember the last time a full-mod explained why they did something or even took the time to post a one-or-two sentence explanation for closing a thread in order to head-off complaining/criticizm/whining. Mini-mods definitely aren't a problem. They're actually the only real sign of hope around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I understand why the full 'Mods are curt and abrupt with us at times. After all, like 'Jsar said, it's a "Motley Band of thread ruiners" that causes the same type of trouble repeatedly. I joined this 'Forum in......2001 I think? Back then, the Administration was far more tolerant and understanding. A few years of dealing with the motley bands can change your demeanor, I guess. In time, when the Mini-mods are weary of the repetitive trouble then they will be just as short with everyone as well... "Power To The Deleting! Power To The Editing! C'mon And Feel The Power Of The Moderator Over You! Power To The Moving Of Topics! Power To The Closing Of Topics! C'mon And Feel The Power Of The Moderator Over You! " It's moderating fire!" -I have to admit I kinda' like that though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 So are the mini-mods basically just friends of the admin who can go around and close topics they don't want to see? ... 370276[/snapback] As far as the mods go, I am probably closer to them than any of the guys that got picked as mini mods. The mods however think I would make a terrible mod as I would not be fair and would ban people on a whim just to be funny (like I would ban you now for example). So I am pretty confident when any mod closes anything, there is probably a good reason. Oh and on the topic of your thread being closed: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

OT: Just a thought, are there any whizz-kids (or whizz-middle-aged-adults ) out there who could come up with a way to have a random pic on the front page, chosen from the model and toy sections? It would certainly make me more inclined to link there (rather than direct to the forums, which I do now), and give people a taster of what's lurking below the surface.

Dante74 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I just checked your profile. You're no old geek! You're a child of the eighties. I was alive at the same time that Elvis was, now THAT'S old!! back to topic. I like the front page.

me3 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 See, that's exactly what I was talking about. YOU read/talked about it before, so therefore it is old and unworthy of discussion. Keep up that way if you want your precious board to stagnate. Incidently, I explained my issues in replys, if you read past the initial post. The same could be said of anything you post- what is the point of you posting it? It's a message board- you generate discussion, not just read one person's old posts and go "OK, it's been said before, time to find a new site." Think about it...

Think about it... 370532[/snapback] It's been thought about and discussed. It was basically a whine thread. We waited for you to bring about your reason as to why you started the thread. If you wanted to complain about HG then send them an email. If you had something with substance in mind then you shoulda brought it up, you had your chance. Even back when the whole HG thing started we had reasons to start such threads. The whole point of a pinned thread is so when n00bs show up and tries to start a tired old discussion then they can just join that. The boards is here to accomodate both old and new members, but not to the point where you can cry about it if you don't get your way. This thread is about site updates, not site "my way". Take the whine and cheese elsewhere. Edited February 15, 2006 by >EXO< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you realize the value of keeping things fresh. Does anyone actually read every old post from 3 years ago before making a topic? Maybe they should, to keep from getting jumped on by the senior board lurkers. I have seen a lot of the posts and many don't have anything useful or anime-related to say, and some are even kinda sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already been said that your were given a chance to state why you started that thread. No one immediately closed it.
